Dude are you sure you’re not just approaching that stage in every young adults life where you realise R&L isn’t really for you anymore 🤣

Underworld, Gorillaz, Faithless, Tame Impala - you’re attending the wrong festival bro!

I ain’t even sat my A Levels yet mate 😂😂, but Tame Impala can be argued for and so can Gorillaz sort of, Underworld I guess I’d only want to see Born Slippy. And a Faithless DJ set on the DS would go off idc

[OnlyRevolutions]

got to agree that an Underworld set wouldn't be the best booking for R&L, majority of the crowd would be just waiting for Born Slippy, they're much more likely to book DJ's such as Crucast, Hannah Wants, Shy FX etc.

Caribou, Four Tet, Jamie XX & Peggy Gou are who i've got my fingers crossed for though

[Alex Winstone]

Caribou headlining the dance tent would be good the new album is amazing, would love to see Amiele Lens, Pertubator, Modestep, Mall Grab, Kaytranda and even a Prodigy DJ set if there planning on continuing.

Underworld are about as likely to play to Reading as Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

Justice would be awesome but doubt they would get booked either honestly. One of my friends really likes them as do i but nobody else is bothered really. more likely than underworld or faithless though. the thing is like they are probably expensive vs like a DNB headliner or like some medium sized dj and less well known.

Introducing: -

I'm far from a Leeds Festival veteran, but I've had a blast both times I've went, and most of my time has been spent at the main stage. Had a feeling Rage would have been one of the best things I'd ever witnessed this year! Fingers crossed for next year though.

Dance Stage and the 1xtra Stage just aren't my thing, although I could see myself possibly checking out the Introducing or the FR Stage at some point.

I was lucky as I had no idea about them but one of my pals dragged me there.

By Dancing Shoes (3rd in) I knew this was a moment.
