TheWaters Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Still finding it very odd that R&L haven’t used the word “lineup” to advertise this announcement whatsoever when they’d usually say it at every opportunity. Obviously Melvin said it’s the full lineup today but just seems odd to me. Wouldn’t be surprised if the announcement today ended up being about 2 main stages and 6 headliners but the lineup will be revealed next week or something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I’m going to continue to predict low so I am (hopefully) pleasantly surprised. Who I really want is Billie Eilish but I can’t see her doing it. Liam Gallagher BMTH Courtneeners Dua Lipa Lewis Capaldi Dave Outsider bets, Skepta, Halsey, Catfish.

Matt42 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Disclosure would make sense as a booking considering they’ve just released new material and have no tour for 2020 sorted yet? But they aren’t first time headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mttJ Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Getting excited about the idea of Slipknot etc only to be greeted by Lewis Capaldi and Courteeners would be about right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And very on brand. Everyone needs to temper their expectations. This is r&l. we got a little treat this year with rage but the undercard was the huge letdown. Its going to be an r&l lineup at the end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Connolly Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 stone roses still a very very slim possibility imo, never headlined before, tend to reform every 4 years (or so) and their website has just been updated according to someone on here a few days ago. that’d be a proper curveball out of the blue headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same R&L that got the 1975, TOP, Postie and Foos in the same year Were going right down the middle not Slipknot but not as bad as Courteeners and Capaldi i Honestly don’t really care about the headliners as long as we get one of Tame Impala, Foals it Slipknot.

Thinking Bring Me are a given Disappointed with the unlikeliness of co-headliners returning, as there's a couple who seem like quite obvious but strong bookings here (Foals, Disclosure..). I'll be happy with BMTH as one of my headliners, but with the lack of an NME stage this year I'll probably end up relying on the main stage all three nights. I wonder if we'll see "NME" level acts take slots in lower stages, but realistically that doesn't seem too feasible. Keep forgetting that I just need to like three of the headliners, so the probable LG/Courteeners doesn't phase me too much. Just hope we end up with an interesting booking or two alongside them such as Slipknot, Tame etc. Edited August 31, 2020 by mttJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalopsia Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I'm hearing that the Josh Homme picture isn't QOTSA related, it may be TCV or Kyuss (recently hinted at it apparently) which I'd be down for.

TheWaters Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Stop even more with the NIN shout.

Think I’ve seen before that they got a pitiful crowd for a subheadliner too? If NIN do U.K. fests anytime soon I can’t see past headlining APE or Sounds of The City or subbing Download. Will continue to pray that they headline the other at glasto soon but not holding my breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
