2018 lineup drop was something spectacular but I remember the 2014 drop being extremely spicy.

That was the first time @Dan Wilcox leaked the lineup right? I remember ‘Macklemore gate’ like it was yesterday.

Wasn’t here for 2014 but 2018 was mental. KOL, FOB and Panic! Being sprung on us the night before was unreal

The absolute horror of Jake Bugg and Macklemore being two of the subheadliners will never be topped imo.

In my opinion 2012 was the last time I’ve seen a lineup drop get positive reviews on here. I think the only gripe I remember was Paramore being back after only 2 years. How bizarre, that would probs be celebrated now.

I think it’s R&L’s intention to book with such a strong forward focus that their lineups look strong years after.

2014 was considered the downfall of the festival when it was announced - but now you look back and there’s some artists most would probably love to return.

Yep. Changed his profile picture and we all assumed it was a fake.

I’m getting excited now simply because there’s been 0 leaks.

Doesnt give me hope for a strong lineup, as it suggests that these headliners aren’t worth leaking.

I’m ready for a shocking R&L lineup. Let’s put 2018 to shame!

I really wonder how he got a hold of that poster because he seemed to get a hold of a protype version of it. It looked different to the final poster but had all the right acts on it.

2013’s lineup was met with a brilliant reception on here. Cho Sued will live on forever. 
 

It’s a shame what a pathetic circus SOAD have become now. Zero interest in making new music, zero passion whilst on stage. They should just fuck off and not bother doing anything again. They’re an embarrassment these days.

 is this right, stone roses dropped out of r&l in 96 so never played it

They headlined in 1996, it was an infamously disastrous performance (some of it is on YouTube) and they called it quits shortly afterwards.

Cho sued followed by “quick who has played with SOAD” to work out Green day

It doesn't matter anyway. There is no way in a million years The Stone Roses are playing R&L in 2021.

No reason they wouldn't - their day would sell out instantly if theres no other dates and they are pretty well liked among the target audience (well the indie/rock fans anyway, pop/rap people would be like RATM's reaction). Would be unwise of them to do Reading/Leeds instead of stadiums/arenas though money wise

Absolutely bizarre it’s that soon and we haven’t even got a speculative tweet from a band member, or anything!

All the more reason to believe it won’t be the lineup like I said ;) 

Nah hopefully it will be but the whole thing seems very fishy to me still

No reason?

A decent reason would be that they're not actually together.

They also didn't play the last 2 times they were active in 2012/13 and 2016/17.

Not to mention they just aren't the sort of booking that R&L would make these days.

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

Would be an amazing booking, Heaton Park 2012 remains the best live performance I've ever seen, but they had a perfect opportunity to get them in both 2016 and 2017 and didn't, instead opting for headliners that had already played not long before previously (Biffy, Muse, Kasabian and Eminem). That gave me the impression the festival weren't interested in them. Which was a shame, they'd have shifted day tickets and they do have a large younger following going by the crowds at the two gigs I went to at Manchester and Leeds.

Don't think they'll reform again though. Too much bad blood on the last tour by the sounds of it.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
