Vampire Weekend headlining Reading Festival not a chance - would love it though into Gorillaz

I think VW could, they subbed Glasto last year

I’d say whatever half has their keyboardist. The most energetic performer there is

Wrong crowd though, they haven't aged well with the audience vs like courteeners/two door etc from a similar time. i love them but nobody i know really cares about them otherwise. definitely a risky booking that doesn't achieve much - way better suited for APE

Courteeners and Two Door clashing? Myself and the rest of the dark fruits crowd would be in tears. 

[Stuielooie]

So the 2 stage thing is just to split crowds in half, therefore they will probably be running at the same time... 

Whats the odds on most of the subs announced for 2020 just being headliners next year?

Megan Thee Stallion

That would be a great booking tbh. She’s had an amazing year and would definitely pull a crowd.

[SteventheG]

Do you think because of the amount of time they’ve had to come up with a plan B, if this shitty pandemic comes again they’ll go ahead with the festival

Comes again? It's not gone anywhere

[Pottsy2913]

Wow, looks like I've missed a lot! Finally caught up though (some amusing comments along the way)

Obviously absolutely gutted Rage aren't returning, but I'm intrigued to see this announcement. Mega mega fuming that Liam Gallagher is back though (probably)

Billie Eilish // Liam Gallagher // Bring Me The Horizon // Dua Lipa // Travis Scott // Halsey

Yea it hasn’t gone, also I don’t think - even if they wanted to go ahead - that they could, they simply wouldn’t be allowed

[SteventheG]

I’m not stupid I know it’s not gone you know what I meant

[SteventheG]

Become a social distancing event and all that, pods, seating arrangements all that

No, festivals won't happen if its like that. They won't be able to sell enough tickets to cover the costs

I think they’ll try pushing the festival to go ahead, and Melvin has spoke about the testing procedure, but obviously if a second spike comes its less likely - ultimately it’s too far away to say atm, fingers crossed though!

[heartsink]

Tbf it shouldn’t be that hard to combat make a cut off date for buying tickets make them photo ID and if you are going you have regular tests leading upto and the day before you go all clear tests means rock on and a safe environment is created for the weekend

Whos going to provide all the testing up until the festival? NHS only tests at the moment if you've got symptoms.

I’ve got iPlayer on and Fall Out Boy’s 2016 ‘headline’ set is even worse than I remember at the time. They were awful. The most flat and disinterested headline set I’ve ever seen watching it back now. God knows how desperate they must have been in 2018 to ask them back.

I've gone on the page for the first time this weekend, does this mean headliners across all stages, or is this a hint to next year

BMTH maybe but Wolf Alice headlined the R1 stage so that's what is in reference to

[matty13]

What kind of placement would Wolf Alice get if they were back next year? Sub?

 

With 6 headliners I could see them being high up the list being pretty popular & female-fronted (rightfully) with festivals trying to give female acts more slots. 

[TheWaters]

I’d say sub is their level. Would welcome it, thought they were fairly poor at Reading 2018 but they were really great at ynot 2019

I think that text underneath only follows one rule on how that texts generated surely

[lighthouse]

BMTH headlining? I have the feeling these guys have already peaked.
