Re: international acts - neither Denzel Curry or Machine Gun Kelly have Reading & Leeds on their website despite having other festivals listed.

Hmm this is interesting, I went to go and check this out after seeing it and whilst R&L is not listed he still has Alt London still listed for the same weekend so the likelihood is he still is at the festival??

Yeah, I did pick up on that. Just seems odd that this one is missing.

Missing from jxdn's site too.

Could be meaningless but I am skeptical about how many of the international acts will make it over.

Not that it was under any doubt at this stage but-

I think people are mainly ruling him out because hes a Parklife exclusive act however I could definitely see him being a Stormzy special guest

When do you think we will see the next/final announcement on the lineup for R&L??

I'd guess there'll be R&L announcements today/tomorrow after the Parliament or TV briefing to confirm it's on while also saying "keep an eye on socials this week for more news" with any lineup changes. Think that's what Download Pilot, Tramlines and Latitude all did

Total guessing game isn't it. They'll have to get the ball rolling soon, Bramham Park is closed to the public from late July so they can set up. I'd like to think they already have Government confirmation and the Tweet is drafted and ready to post!

I’m guessing sometime this week.

Any announcement before now would have been overshadowed by a certain event last night.

[nathanh]

I think R&L will want to announce when the country is happy about freedom- so either tonight after its been confirmed or on the 19th itself

On the topic of final lineup who could still be added?

I'd like to see Trash Boat added to the pit, the new stuff is outstanding so far

I see the bigger concern in the moment is towards who will be excluded...
I also believe that on the 19th we will have the info. Would like to see Sleep Token added to the pit as well

Who do you think could be excluded? Im pretty confident bigger international acts will make it but smaller ones like jxdn could be in danger

[CharlieDaRapper]

I'd like to see predictions on who could be added?

[Dukey]

Really depends on who can't make it - Latitude's lineup is very UK band centric and can see R&L going the same way

Wouldn't be surprised to see While She Sleeps replace Fever 333 in the Pit / on main

Then maybe some smaller bands like The Snuts and The Lathums added in - can't see there being too much

The strange part is that they had British/Irish bands like Idles and Fontaines DC on the bill but they got replaced by overseas acts.

Reading 21 is go! Hopefully lineup news soon

At this point in time I’d consider collecting the used cups for the bar discount 😂

Interested to know - is there anyone on the current main stage lineup you couldn't care much less about? i.e The Kid Laroi
