2021 Lineup

[heartsink]

Mad that there is no strong possibilities or leaks flying round,

 

hopefully that’s a good thing 🤷🏼‍♂️

[TheWaters]

Still finding it very odd that R&L haven’t used the word “lineup” to advertise this announcement whatsoever when they’d usually say it at every opportunity. Obviously Melvin said it’s the full lineup today but just seems odd to me. Wouldn’t be surprised if the announcement today ended up being about 2 main stages and 6 headliners but the lineup will be revealed next week or something like that

[Matt42]

I’m going to continue to predict low so I am (hopefully) pleasantly surprised. Who I really want is Billie Eilish but I can’t see her doing it.

 

Liam Gallagher

BMTH

Courtneeners 

Dua Lipa

Lewis Capaldi

Dave

Outsider bets, Skepta, Halsey, Catfish.

Disclosure would make sense as a booking considering they’ve just released new material and have no tour for 2020 sorted yet?

But they aren’t first time headliners.

They’re doing a club tour in january

[mttJ]

Getting excited about the idea of Slipknot etc only to be greeted by Lewis Capaldi and Courteeners would be about right.

[Ives562]

Now going past Reading on way to my holiday sad to think I'm not already there

Yeah but fairly sure that’s only a DJ set. Wouldn’t affect their chances of headlining even if it was a live set tbh, they’re tiny venues 

[WhoOdyssey]

I'd hope Disclosure bring out slowthai for My High, what a banger that is

And very on brand. Everyone needs to temper their expectations. This is r&l.

we got a little treat this year with rage but the undercard was the huge letdown.

Its going to be an r&l lineup at the end of the day.

[Tom Connolly]

stone roses still a very very slim possibility imo, never headlined before, tend to reform every 4 years (or so) and their website has just been updated according to someone on here a few days ago. that’d be a proper curveball out of the blue headliner

The same R&L that got the 1975, TOP, Postie and Foos in the same year 

Were going right down the middle not Slipknot but not as bad as Courteeners and Capaldi

i Honestly don’t really care about the headliners as long as we get one of Tame Impala, Foals it Slipknot. Thinking Bring Me are a given

It’s been too long since Tame Impala last played, it’s about time Kevin returned to R+L

Disappointed with the unlikeliness of co-headliners returning, as there's a couple who seem like quite obvious but strong bookings here (Foals, Disclosure..). 

I'll be happy with BMTH as one of my headliners, but with the lack of an NME stage this year I'll probably end up relying on the main stage all three nights. I wonder if we'll see "NME" level acts take slots in lower stages, but realistically that doesn't seem too feasible. 

Keep forgetting that I just need to like three of the headliners, so the probable LG/Courteeners doesn't phase me too much. Just hope we end up with an interesting booking or two alongside them such as Slipknot, Tame etc.

Someone said slipknot with nine inch nails subbing and now I shall die a little inside if this isn’t the case

[Matt42]

Guys stop with the Slipknot.

Youre literally setting yourself up for disappointment. 

[Kalopsia]

I'm hearing that the Josh Homme picture isn't QOTSA related, it may be TCV or Kyuss (recently hinted at it apparently) which I'd be down for.

Stop even more with the NIN shout. One of my favourite bands of all time but there’s more chance of Lostprophets being booked for the fest than them, NIN will never be back for R&L sadly

The last time Trent played he had nothing nice to say about the place

I’m not surprised. Think I’ve seen before that they got a pitiful crowd for a subheadliner too? If NIN do U.K. fests anytime soon I can’t see past headlining APE or Sounds of The City or subbing Download. Will continue to pray that they headline the other at glasto soon but not holding my breath

It's all part of the fun.

I'd rather get carried away and let down as opposed to anticipating and accepting the mediocrity. 😃
