Seeing a lot of BMTH at the top of peoples aoty. I'm a big fan and own their subreddit and discord but have to say, they've never quite had an 'aoty worthy' album from my perspective. Glad to see people enjoying the new one a lot though!

Post Human currently sits at #3 on my AOTY list. Sempiternal was my AOTY in 2013.
 

Not quite the same but I did a Top 20 albums of the decade last year (took me ages to whittle it down) and There Is A Hell was my #3.

No judging, just don’t ask us to play it haha.

Joking aside, I’m biased as I was driven insane by my daughters playing her, along with little mix and Lady gaga, all the time when they were young so I’ve already had my fair share of Taylor Swift, haha.

I've just seen COUNTERFEIT have broke up. That's now the second opening main stage act from last year after Milk Teeth who have also called it quits a few months ago. So that' means it's Kawala next then...

When do we reckon more acts will get announced?

Wow the new AC/DC album is such a new sound for them, very original

I was really hoping Axl Rose takes over as their lead singer and it's the sad/reflective album where they mourn the loss of their past members whilst providing commentary on the social divisions of politics and the "new normal". 😜

December, I reckon. Get some more of the lineup out to secure some Christmas tickets now this vaccine news has given people some encouragement.

Yeah, I was expecting a more electronic sound with experimental trap and dance influences. Also, why no rap guest stars?

[Andre91]

I’ve always been pretty indifferent to AC/DC but I have a begrudging respect for them. The new album is good (I won’t ever listen to it again). They’re the best at what they do, undoubtedly, and for a band to still be so identifiable 45 years in deserves credit. They’re incredible at what they do but what they do isn’t for me.

Muse x Brian Johnson in 2017 was a moment to say the least

I don’t think I could handle Mike shouting ‘You’ve been rocking for days’ at me over and over again. 

[Dukey]

Would love for Architects to be added. Very excited for their stream on Saturday.

Talk about a band whose stock has dropped. From headlining alongside Mumfords and Metallica to subbing potentially Catfish in a year with six headliners.

I'm not sure they ever really deserved the headline spot tbh as the reunion hype was gone. One of the smallest headliner crowds I've ever seen at R&L. Also, when they reunited they subbed Arcade Fire.   

[CharlieDaRapper]

When do we feel we will have another announcement of names for R&L and who do we all feel will be in the next announcement?

They played academies on their last tour and I don't think all of the shows sold out. They were never that big when they were at their peak with Up The Bracket anyway, just the media circus surrounding their breakup and then Pete Doherty's antics piqued a lot of people's interest in them.
