Will the acts not already have been booked long before now? Or are we saying this on the assumption that they always knew it would sell out so booked a poor lineup

Architects for example who haven't long released an album. I certainly think they will see how the festival does before booking someone like that. No need now for anyone that plays higher than academies. They have 5 arena bands there and two subs that can do arenas too at least. Maybe not the dearest albeit but still arena money bands. You've got some 3rd down bands to come I think but no subs.

Yea I do feel they’d have booked the absolute majority of acts before they sold out. I do agree though that they won’t spend much now given that they don’t have to sell any tickets.

[Ives562]

Who we thinking will be announced are all time low and you me at six possible? Maybe enter shikari?

Fuck me we’re going round in circles here, can we just wait for the next announcement before asking who tf we think is coming out next, we’ve exhausted all the sodding names

I feel like we’re coming back round to the regular “Are MCR coming back next year?” discourse, to be followed shortly with the “Will Radiohead ever come back?” conversation.

 

Christ we need an announcement.

[Jack.194]

I feel like this thread needs to be locked until there’s an announcement, everyone - myself included - is going absolutely insane.

That’s only every year, we all #MCR22 is in full swing 

and I’ve only mentioned Radiohead once I’ll have you know

what are your thoughts on the topic however? 😝

Clashfinder seems to have an issue at the minute but I'll wait to see how bands pan out first. I'm a fan of early Billy Talent but Can't say I'm that bothered by them gone. I can see all who I'd see clashing though on this now that they are all bigger and £82.50 for a ticket is outrageous. They've sold out a little for me now and both previous additions were better in my own opinion.

APE happening on the same weekend as R&L. If Tame Impala are rebooked from last year they’d be a brilliant shout for the secret set

[JSmurphy]

Slowthai is playing APE on Sat 28th. Leeds Friday - Reading Sunday if he's playing. But it'd mean three shows back to back.

Doubt that'd be an issue for him. I think this APE news makes him incredibly likely. 

[RarerThanDandyB]

[foolee]

Wasn't Slowthai booked for Reading Sunday in 2020? Probably just kept his mainstage booking but not been announced yet. 

[Dave-Bboard]

I wouldn't be shocked if Jamie XX is the secret set

[VanderlyleTea]

I can’t remember whether the supposedly leaked version of the R+L lineup had Slowthai on the Sunday. Does anyone have it to post it again, can’t be bothered to scroll back through the pages.

[Andre91]

The XX secret set...

Oh okay, had people written it off as fake already?

Yes please 

[CharlieDaRapper]

I would not mind seeing Tom Misch on the R&L line up I feel he would play really well.

i think a lot of people would find that underwhelming, can't see it personally (also if the xx were all about, surely they would be doing APE as all of them - even if they were there recently)

didnt the sherlocks do the secret set in 2019 though? i think the xx would be a HUGE upgrade from them😂

2019 was bit of a shambles for secret sets, at least Reading got Bullet For My Valentine rather than just The Sherlocks!

fair enough, i was at leeds, didnt bother though for the sherlocks!

also, creamfields announcing more artists, looking plausible for an r+l announcement soon (PLEASE)

Same here, after BMTH the year before, The Sherlocks was a disappointment only R&L could pull off haha
