Could Florence be a shout for this? Faint whispers she’s about in 2021.

Can't imagine she's that popular with school leavers compared to the likes of Dua Lipa

[Andre91]

I think Melvin might have said it in an NME interview? Not sure though, not heard too much about it.

Not many artists fit these descriptions so I am kinda expecting a scrape of the bottom of the barrel here?

Did the Kooks / Wombats reschedule APE?

[CG31]

PENDULUM HAVE TO BE A SHOUT

[Jericode]

They don't.

...but I'd fucking love it.

They’re gonna get shit for whoever, they should just fucking book the Fratellis, Simple Minds, Kylie, Kings of Leon, Chaka Khan and ABBA

 

Shit, better dust out my hotpants from Kylie at Glasto the other year. Any excuse honestly.

I’d happily have Giggs back on the Main Stage. This set was great at Leeds. It was the set that really demonstrated how R&L has changed in recent years as Architects were on before him and their crowd was modest and not very lively but when Giggs came on, the Main Stage was packed out and there were pits going off everywhere. It was really cool to see.

says in the article that all the headliners will be on the same level, i understand he can't say that some of the headliners aren't as good as the others but if we take what he said as fact then we can assume they're all similar ticket shifters to liam gallagher

[Matt42]

This is either going to be alright or absolutely fucking woeful 

Either way I’m here for it

[FloorFiller]

That’s pretty wild if true, especially with all the talk of it on here for last year 😄

Looking at some people’s predictions and I think people have probably roughly figured it out. Billie, Liam, BMTH, Capaldi, Dua, and another would be my guess, which doesn’t look the best on paper but will no doubt go down amazingly with most of the people who frequent R/L these days.

Love that ‘alright’ is as good as you’re willing to go with expectations.

6 headliners during the circumstances makes me think they are trying to compensate, not that they’ve got lucky 

[OnlyRevolutions]

this was the intended line-up for sziget, who R&L always share a good chunk of acts with, if many of these acts return then we could be seeing a few of our headliners on this bill

Ha yeah I’m right there with you, although considering how flat RATM were received I can’t help but think this will largely be seen as an improvement for most.

Either way, looking forward to the announcement, if only for the usual morbid curiosity.

[NoBuses]

Calvin Harris would be boss

[JSmurphy]

Not sure I could see Calvin Harris at R&L. Major Lazer on the other hand...

[gfa]

3 big, 3 smaller

ASAP Rocky (or travis scott if melvin benn is feeling generous) / Courteeners (or like catfish/gerry etc)

LG / BMTH

Gorillaz / Dua Lipa

 

major lazer have dropped off massively, i think Sziget really struggled for acts this year

Really don’t see Gorillaz at R/L - they’d die on their arses.

[VCK]

Very surprised at no Strokes or Paramore on the BBC coverage. You'd certainly expect them to be on there over someone like the Gossip.

[metallimuse]

Courteeners are due to headline TRNSMT and you could argue sell somewhat similar to Liam. 

They play arenas and have done their own huge outdoor shows up north. They maybe wouldn't shift their own Finsbury Park gig but Heaton Park they could shift.

Can see them maybe stepping up.

Gorillaz for Tame Impala and I reckon you could be spot on

I don't know, I think they could pull it off as they have a great crossover appeal - maybe not the best use of the budget though

I would prefer that so yeah - all for it

Without a doubt they could for 6 headliners, lets just pray

[Hawky]

I'm excited for the first time in 7 years. Well done, Melvin.

This might top Cho Sued if implemented well with a solid lineup including Dua Lipa being bumped up.
