Announced all 3 at once for 2020. still convinced AJ Tracey vs Stormzy is gonna happen, seems like an odd clash The migjt have AJ finish beforehand, or just overlap slightly. They don’t have to clash completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree with this one this makes sense Bicep vs Stormzy and AJ vs Catfish then the other two nights Fender vs Post and Charli vs LG make sense 8 minutes ago, Jonathan Jonathan said: Huh it was a 2019 thing just it seems, I could’ve sworn they did similar before. That does sound a weird clash to be fair. Second on main under Catfish like the poster makes sense. Who do you think would be R1 headliner then? Or AJ Tracey is MS sub and the Libs go against Stormzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Not been keeping up at all, but why does everyone seem to think The Libertines will be there? Also, has there been any news on the R1 Stage actually being a thing anymore? Can't really see it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarerThanDandyB Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 @NoBuseshad some Info regarding them and Declan McKenna playing. McKenna looks likely so no reason to think Libs won’t 3 minutes ago, SomeoneListeningIn said: Not been keeping up at all, but why does everyone seem to think The Libertines will be there?

Yeah, I'm not 'In the know' or anything but been told Libertines and Declan McKenna are playing by someone that would know these things and has told me stuff in the past about other festivals. Could be untrue but I believe it Edited March 3, 2021 by NoBuses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Jonathan Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 I think there’s always gonna be a degree of leniency of acts dropping in and out from past rumours as well this year. Someone rumoured months ago could easily change their mind by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SugarFree Posted March 3, 2021 Report Share Posted March 3, 2021 Would love to see Underworld headline the Dance Stage, saw them at Wembley back in 2019 and it was one of the best live shows i've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair in the same article he says the whole ‘one returning headliner’ thing and this was last August and it’s fair to say plans change. Perhaps I’m just over optimistically hoping for the R1 tent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandohoff Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Do you not think they will rotate, so whoever closes reading, the other will close leeds? So all 6 actually headline and close the night at some point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulmcm1998 Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Unpopular opinion but I'd love it if all the Main Stage West headliners closed the night at Leeds (QOTSA, Catfish and Disclosure) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all 6 actually headline and close the night at some point. Nah I reckon the bigger acts will close the night at both. Stormzy, Post Malone and Liam. I think the other 3 are gloried sub headliners/co-headliners at best. The only one that would make sense to go on after the headliners would be Disclosure because they're a dance act and might want to play in the dark but I think that'll only happen if Post Malone is okay with it. I think R&L have probably done the 6 headliner thing to get acts like Catfish and Queens, who see themselves as bigger than subs so possibly wouldn't accept a sub slot, to play the festival as acts like those should be a sub in the mind of R&L organisers but the bands are not accepting a sub slot when it's being offered so it's giving the festival more scope for acts.
