Come on now people, let's just all relax a bit miley cyrus defo could do it imo, she’s a little bit more alternative and edgy than she was in 2010. 1 minute ago, Andre91 said: Gutted about BMTH though. It feels like it was now or never or them. honestly, heart sank when they weren’t announced. they would have absolutely smashed it, especially with their new production and songs, huge shame. think it’s never gonna happen but 2022 is well and truly their last shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Connolly Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 watching the disclosure set from 2016 and am very impressed, think theyre a very fun surprise that nobody expected. that sunday night at leeds with them and post malone will be very very good imo. very excited for all the headliners, i just think i could’ve been more excited had we seen some more exciting acts such as BMTH, Billie, Dua 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why lie? Like he didn’t need to say that... It sets them up for a fail as you’re expecting something different to get Disclosure, Queens and Post Malone. Echo what others have said about glorified subs because that’s all it is. I’m pretty shocked that they’ve hyped up 6 headliners and not got a female headliner. Was really expecting Billie Eilish or Bring Me The Horizon too. Yeah, he also said that he didn’t want to be like other festivals who’ve just moved their line ups from 2020 to 2021 but, headliner wise, he’s moved Stormzy and Liam over and the only reason he hasn’t moved Rage is because they aren’t available. Very strange interview. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange interview. I really don’t get it, still thinking about it and I can’t get my head around it. The way he spoke about it made it sound so much better and more interesting than once it was announced, it is just a very standard R&L lineup with pretty much every headliner a repeat rather than trying some fresh headliners. It’s mad to think we were mentioning Billie Eilish, Travis Scott, BMTH, Slipknot, Dua Lipa and Tame Impala as potential headliners now there are 6 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 More I think about the more I feel meh about the lineup. It’s not an awful lineup it’s just not a great one. It feels just a bit random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyn Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 We need the full poster and the stage splits to make more sense of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCK Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I tend not to judge line ups until a good portion of the Main Stage has been announced. As it stands, it’s pretty solid with the exception of Post Malone being booked again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighthouse Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) I'm still baffled by the fact that literally no-one is complaining about Liam being headliner and even playing after QOTSA. What playing some covers of your former band can do. Edited August 31, 2020 by lighthouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddingatReading Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 What annoys me is co-headliners were classed as headliners in their own right before by the festival and now they’re acting as if they are brand new headliners etc. They just change it to suit them, acting as if we’re stupid.

CG31 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I agree as a set of headliners it’s alright, I missed Post in 2019 coz I went home, pretty poor he’s back again but I’ll see him. Other 5 I’m up for. next year is Bring Mes last chance, if it’s 6 again can definitely see them being one if it’s 3 then who knows. and QOTSA should definitely be closing over LG, he may play Oasis songs but still it’s always the heavier act on a Sunday so that’s a bit annoying I’m going whatever just hope a couple more acts come on the poster to make it a bit better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What playing some covers of your former band can do. "Some covers of your former band".. The biggest British post-Beatles band yeah. Not "some covers", but Live forever, Champagne Supernova, Wonderwall a.k.a. some of the best songs from Britain ever, according to the people. And his solo albums were #1's in the UK too. Even a live-album. The man is a legend. Edited August 31, 2020 by RubenFrusciante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t matter how much you like the songs, they are still just covers. Edited August 31, 2020 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like you had good info. We all doubted it because it sounded like complete arse. I guess it still is complete arse because none of us would have guessed those three in the circumstances we were in! @WhoOdyssey told us the lineup way in advance!

Andre91 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Capaldi, TDCC, AJ and DaBaby are going to four of the subs, right? I’m going for Gerry (LG’s) and IDLES (QOTSA’s) as the other two. I’d expect Doja to play third down and possibly Mabel too. With this no clashes thing, is that just for the headliners or for all acts on the main stage, as the promo says ‘no Main Stage clashes’. Also, has it been established what’s going on with where the stages are going to be situated, are they going to be side by side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSmurphy Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) We're already ahead of schedule for announcements. I imagine we'll hear more names in October or November, with the full lineup taking shape early 2021. They'll be no panic at all from their end - this is pretty uninspired albeit reliable sextuple and Two Door Cinema Club and Lewis Capaldi are sound for a 'sub' position. I think we might end up with this: MAIN STAGE EAST FRIDAY 27TH AUGUST Stormzy (#1), Two Door Cinema Club (#3) MAIN STAGE WEST FRIDAY 27TH AUGUST Catfish & The Bottlemen (#2), AJ Tracey (#4) MAIN STAGE EAST SATURDAY 28TH AUGUST Post Malone (#1), Lewis Capaldi, (#3) MAIN STAGE WEST SATURDAY 28TH AUGUST Disclosure (#2), All Time Low (#4) MAIN STAGE EAST SUNDAY 29TH AUGUST Liam Gallagher (#1), The Courteeners (#3) MAIN STAGE WEST SUNDAY 29TH AUGUST Queens of the Stone Age (#2), Yungblud (#4) Edited August 31, 2020 by JSmurphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty big bookings that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
