Billie and LG looking likely, but why the other two in particular?

whatever you thinking of him, Travis is a headliner worthy. Pulled a huge crowd 2018, i saw him headline wireless last year and was unreal again. Sells arenas across the world, the lot. Seen talk of here about dave returning... personally doubt it as headline status until another album maybe? (just my opinion). Whereas skepta was due to headline wireless today and deservedly so if you follow UK music like, you know.

Imagine if one of them was Dizzee Rascal.

I'd rather not.

Dua Lipa is huge, and almost definitely a headliner, if not, a VERY strong sub... 

Oh I know she is, very strong sub yes and it's borderline I admit but any other year you would predict another above her and stick her in as sub.

Travis is also one of the biggest stars in the world and realistically one of the biggest artists R&L could book.

I bet you he isn’t playing

[wghennessy]

Hayley Williams and Yungblud to headline is my prediction.

I honestly don't see why they wouldn't book BMTH. Melvin has to be out his fucking mind surely 

[TheWaters]

BMTH teaser is just for a new song I think. Probably a coincidence

[WhoOdyssey]

BMTH have a new song out this week, it'll be for that

Yeah I don't doubt that they're both headliner worthy, I just don't see what we've been given that nails them on haha

So 5 solo acts ? That’s a hell of a lot, Tame Impala technically is one guy, so I’m still holding out for them

It's not gonna be Tame, they're an AEG act so definitely wont be at this, and they have no reason not to just be back at APE again this year

Look I like Courteeners as a fun singalong with mates but headlining the second biggest festival in the country...

as a courteeners fan myself, can’t really disagree tbh. Their new material is w*nk, Reading crowd in 2018 was poor compared to leeds. They’ve become a bit of a novelty act but i believe MB has said before one day they will headline. With this 6 headiners malarky they could just be catering  to different genres?

[Jayden2304]

Praying for panic at the disco now.

just going off the basis of this big US act that seemed to get donned. Game-changer with the six now as billie will shift tickets and is an obvious choice but after his wireless set last year i wouldn’t be surprised if travis appeared. Saying that, he’s due to release an album later this year (i think) so 2022 could be a shout.

Will bet literal money both Billie and Travis aren’t there

I like courteeners and gerry, but both of them headlining would be an absolute joke, both should sub at very best. No way should gerry cinnamon headline the mainstage. He’s a radio 1 tent headliner at best given his selling ability. But in the current circumstances i could see him sub LG.

[WhoOdyssey]

What happened to the "reward for years of service" artist?

120+ acts announced tonight, including all headliners and (I think) 4 subs. Only 1 headliner is a band. 

This sounds pretty horrific for me, hoping somehow something decent comes out of the bag

[Stuielooie]

The announcement is at the end of the indie show on Radio 1, with probably 3 "indie" bands out of the 120. 

[Bandit Tom]

BMTH confirmed secret set every couple of years forever 

[Dan Wilcox]

Have to go back to work (running a bar on a Bank Holiday sucks) so here's your headliners...

LG // Billie Eilish // Lewis Capaldi // Panic at the Disco (unmentioned solo act, realised after it had been suggested) // Dua Lipa // RATM (yep)

 

[Stuielooie]

Are they combining Wireless with RnL, Main stage 2 will be named "the Wireless stage"

[Dangerbreaks]

No way
