Remembering that period when everyone on Twitter was obsessed with You Me At Six circa 2012.

They headlined Wembley around that time. Weren’t they originally going to sub Blink in 2014 before Macklemore came along? Mad to think how massive they were for a short time. 

[Jericode]

YMAS into Blink in 2014 would have been huge. I don't think Cavalier Youth was as good as their previous output but it went to Nunber One so its hard to deny they'd have deserved the sub spot. I'm sure they were top of the mid-week chart again at the moment so who knows they may blag another one and get a bump in placings for a year or two.

Imagine how good a Kanye on top form saturday night headline set would be

Echoing what Dim Sum said. Never gonna happen.

 

If by some miracle he was booked, he would turn up at least 45 minutes late, perform 30 seconds of the opening track, rant for 20 minutes then leave again.

Eminem will return before Kanye ever performs

He probably think it’s a book festival

Be interesting if Leeds ends up being a British only artists if travel is banned but it can go ahead: 

back to one main stage perhaps and then:

Disclosure/Catfish, Two Door, The Wombats

Liam G, Gerry C, Yungblud, Charli XCX, Neck Deep

Stormzy, Lewis C, AJ Tracey, Mabel

It would be doable

And I think that would still be a solid line up ngl

Glastonbury gone, matter of time before Reading?

Guess The 1975 Finsbury Park show being cancelled last week has proved to be the canary in the coalmine with Glastonbury being cancelled today.

I dunno, I doubt they make a decision yet. Things could be looking extremely different in August

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s gonna be different enough that they can put on a five day festival with that many people crammed together in attendance. I doubt they’ll pull the plug just yet, but it won’t be long.

Think they will hold on till about April before deciding to go/no go.

[Oboy82]

See that some of the groups that feed into SAGE are recommending pubs not to open before May. Really can't see a scenario where pubs open with social distancing then festivals are allowed to go ahead such a short time later

I take that as a positive "continuing to get ready for Reading and Leeds this summer". It doesn't sound completely hopeless. Guess we will know the fate of R & L 2021 on March 1st😬

Interesting - that’s an early time to make a decision so it doesn’t look in R&L’s favour.

[FakeEmpire]

IOW and Download have given the same date for further news.

I think Sunak's budget is due at the same time so perhaps they are holding out to see what assistance or insurance is detailed then.

[Jonathan Jonathan]

Glastonbury is notably a non profit and starts setting up months in advance. Whilst I’m pessimistic as to Reading’s likelihood, I think Glastonbury is a different beast.
