Prodigy without Keith aren’t any smaller. They could headline for sure, especially if we’re going to be having six headliners going forward. I think it’b be more a case of R&L not booking them these days.

I’m praying for Tame Impala - although I’ve got a feeling if there’s 6 headliners they might be slightly too big

[Jericode]

They wouldn't get booked with 3 headliners, they won't get booked with 6.

What makes you say that?

[Miyn]

Is there a general consensus on whether acts / headliners will clash on the two main stages? And will the second stage just be the R1 tent rebranded as the second main stage or will it be a completely new outdoor one?

[RarerThanDandyB]

Why’s everyone predicting Tame. They were touring May-June and probably will be the same next year. Doubt they’ll be around for RandL and they wouldn’t be booked with three headliners. They headlined Coachella and won’t be cheap. With six headliners I highly doubt them being booked. You need to lower expectations or you’ll be massively disappointed tomorrow evening. Be ready for a Capaldi, Teeners, Catfish sort of thing as the only logical reason for changing the layout is because they can’t get three big headliners. If you’re lucky we will get one decent size but nothing massive.

Clash based on what Benn said. Two stages, you choose who you wanna see.

I don’t think Tame Impala will play, but they’re really not as big of a deal as you’re making out here and would be well within the budget for a smaller headliner amongst five other smaller headliners if R/L wanted to go in that direction.

He headlined Coachella last year. I know he's not as big over here, but he's by no means a smaller headliner and won't be well within the budget of one.

Coming in with the cold hard truth, I think you’re right - I am gonna lower my expectations as to not be disappointed.

So? They headlined the Other Stage at Glastonbury, and aren’t major festival headliner over here and so would be just the right size for this years R/L headliner setup.
 

All of the acts mentioned above are acts that would sub the main stage, and whilst I don’t doubt that one or two of the headliners this year might fall in to that bracket, there’s no way Melvin is gonna book six usual subs to headline - it’ll be six acts teetering between headliner and sub, which Tame Impala are.

But again, I doubt they’re gonna play, so all moot really. Guess we’ll see tomorrow!

Wherever Tame plays he headlines. Glasto is always an exception. I don't think he's gonna play, but if he does, he'll headline. He's also pretty expensive to book. He definitely isn't a budget booking if they decide to get him.

So basically Tame Impala always headline apart from the times that they don’t. Gotcha!

You have no idea how much Tame Impala costs to book.

I have a pretty good idea looking at the festivals he plays and how much they pay acts.

Citadel not selling out for tame impala is a good indication on their booking power over here

[Jericode]

Tame Impala aren't gonna play, let alone headline. Let's move on to the next suggestion.

[Hart Attack]

Man I really hope we get Slipknot... just got done listening to the That's Not Metal special on them the other day and it's given me the urge to see them again. Also I'd love to see the look of horror on the faces of all the teenage pop/rap fans that go these days 😆

My original point was that he isn't a budget option compared to the other acts they're most likely going to book this year. Yes he isn't the most expensive act to book but he isn't a budget option compared to Catfish, Courteeners and BMTH.

Do you know how much I’d mark out? They’re my favorite band that I haven’t managed to see yet 😂

Plays the same small festival that Catfish played the year after? I think Tame costs similar to Catfish. I'm not saying I know that, but its the clearest indication that has been brought to this discussion
