2021 Lineup

[NoBuses]

Unrelated but I really hope The Amazons release a belting 3rd album and headline one day, what a moment that would be

[RarerThanDandyB]

TPD Piccadilly stream had technical difficulties but I tried getting the Setlist to find potential acts. 

Out of all of them: BMTH, The Weeknd and Catfish looked like the main potential headliners if they knew what the headliners were and incorporated it to the Setlist. 

[justanothername]

I heard that Chase and Status aren't coming back to R&L after reports of broken ribs during their set last time they played

[TKOCF]

Just rewatched the Radiohead set. God it’s such a shame that they’ve never been back, they’d knock it out of the park. 

[TheWaters]

Catfish are probably one of my biggest guilty pleasures. They’re not great, every song sounds similar and they’re fairly basic but I will definitely still stand there and belt out every tune. It’d be a boring headline booking and feel weak as fuck but at the end of the day I’d probably be there and probably wouldn’t complain.

 

Ideally they’d be the first headliner on one of the nights, not the closer, and be followed by someone much more interesting though haha

Having an old set playback as a 'special guest' in a run of old set playbacks is stretching the term beyond all comprehension.

correct me if i'm wrong but didn't glastonbury do the exact same thing with sets from the likes of metallica? guess it's just a way of keeping viewers intrigued without offering them anything substantial

This. They’ve got no idea who’s playing. 
 

If BMTH headline, I hope that they (and the other five headliners) all get proper headline length sets at 90-120mins, not 75/80mins like co-headliners usually get.
 

BMTH’s APE set was incredible and they played songs from all of their albums. I don’t think they would do that at R&L (I doubt they’ll ever play Pray For Plagues again, they didn’t for nearly 5 years before APE) but I think they’d still have some pre-Sempiternal stuff in the set. Maybe Chelsea Smile and Diamonds from Suicide Season and It Never Ends from There Is A Hell... maybe Blessed With a Curse too. Tbh, I really want to hear Ludens and Parasite Eve live. I’m still not sold on Parasite Eve like I am Ludens but it’s still something I’d like to see them do at a show.

The only issue with the older stuff is Oli’s voice can’t take the screaming but they’d definitely do ludens and parasite eve. Both absolute cracking tunes! I’ll be back at Reading if they headline and hopefully they do, they have to with 6 headliners.

His voice absolutely can take the screaming. This isn’t 2015/16 Oli Sykes we are talking about who physically couldn’t scream anymore. He’s a different beast these days who seems to have really sorted his voice out live (relying on backing tracks excessively whilst on tour for a couple of years will give your voice a good rest). His singing is still iffy but he’s not a natural singer but he can scream better now then he has been able to in a very long time. Check out the videos on YouTube of their 2018 tour when they did the medley of old songs, his harsh vocals are exceptional (they were at APE last year too). 
 

Has there been any news on Billie Eilish rescheduling that massive arena tour of her’s? If it’s rescheduled for next summer, would that impact on her chances of headlining or would it not matter because it’s already sold out and she’s essentially the biggest artist on the planet?

[Alex Winstone]

Chemical Brothers? 

[FloorFiller]

If BMTH play I’d bet that they don’t play anything pre-Sempiternal. The APE show was a different beast for their hardcore fans so comparisons can’t really be made, and at R/L it’ll largely be people wanting to hear their more mainstream stuff. Couple from Sempiternal and then a few from TTS, Amo and whatever singles/EPs they release between now and the festival.

I’m not sure about any updates on her tour but I really doubt it’s something that will get in the way of her headlining, especially with the six headliner deal they’re doing next year. I’d be pretty surprised if she’s not one of them.

Carly Rae Jepsen as one of the headliners please

[Andre91]

90 minute Junior Senior set where they play Move Your Feet 29 times.

The Hunna subbing? Really?

Well they would be about 4th down with alternating stages, and if headliners get two hour slots, it'll probably be around 6pm.

[Fuzzy Afro]

Wait does LG count as one of the 5 new headliners since he hasn’t headlined alone before and 2020 didn’t happen?

 he is one of the 6

[Stuielooie]

I hope the main stages are alternating time slots, like the "fake" poster alluded to

The returner, it says one of this years carried over

On Bring Me , if they play Crucify Me I will forever be happy, chuck in Chelsea Smile and I will go off

[JSmurphy]

Ben from Neck Deep confirmed on his Instagram that they were meant to be playing a festival w/ Rage this weekend. Neck Deep weren't announced previously were they? 

[Jericode]

Don't think so. Hopefully they're back for 2021.

I won’t correct you, because you are right! Yeah I guess these are just very strange times. I do feel they could at least save that tag for new content like idk Lewis Capaldi singing his song in his kitchen or whatever.
