Does that mean they're not women?

No but id actually like them to book some quality. And they aren't headlining.

Sorry, I was just expecting a lot better than what we got.

Is there the full announcement later

[JamieB1830]

9 minutes

If the QOTSA day is good enough I might be tempted by a ticket. Be good to see Liam do some Oasis classics too.

Can’t help but feel like QOTSA are just gonna die on their arses at this. Reading and Leeds just ain’t their festivals anymore.

Agreed, I'm just above the demographic and I don't know anyone who's heard past No One Knows, can't imagine anyone younger listening to them either tbh

[TheFullShaboo]

Can’t help but feel they’ve made the lineup seem weaker by claiming 6 headliners and adding Disclosure, CATBM and Post Malone to the trio of Liam, QOTSA and Stormzy.

Doja cats great. Won a VMA last night aswell.

[JSmurphy]

I think it's OK. Liam Gallagher was a strong booking, Stormzy too. Queens will be brilliant, and likewise I can see Post Malone and Catfish going down fairly well. I'm not sold on Disclosure but if they wanted something different then fine. Obviously depressing omission of you know what, but I'm not going to get into that.

AJ Tracey, Lewis Capaldi, Doja Cat and Da Baby will draw big crowds. 

Based on 6 yes I think QOTSA are okay but didn't their own outdoor show not sell well?, I've also never seen a huge crowd for them at Reading....even when it was more a rock lineup booked.

Thanks ill check her out. The line up doesn't entice me regardless. The only band which remotely interests me are catfish and I can see them anywhere else for way cheaper.

Wow! a VMA! that must mean they are great!

If they were on the day with Stormzy then 100%. 

This lineup, well the headliners do try and seem to please both markets, but unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of LG or QOTSA, and have been going off Catfish for the last few years.

i have absolutely no idea who disclosure is

Hey what did I do? That's the 6 I gave you an hour ago. I always drop truth, then bull, then truth. An actual shit sandwich where the truth is even shittier than the bullshit.

They sent an email with the poster from a few pages back so I assume that's all we're getting

It is shit that the headliners don't feature any women, but at the same time you don't get to say that the whole lineup is sausagey because you've only heard of one female act of the 40% female-inclusive lineup.

Completely not dismissing that the festival should have a female headliner but yeah

Hi all, haven’t read the rest of the thread, so not sure if it’s been mentioned or not but this is what I’ve been leaked for tomorrow by someone in the industry. Obviously it goes against what Melvin has said so it’s probably bollocks, just thought it was worth sharing.
 

 

I'll be damned. I beg your pardon, boy who cried wolf and all that.

[CG31]

How much for 100 gecs to draw the biggest crowd of the weekend

[Baggins7]

I think the whole 2 main stages thing is a way of getting people talking and getting headlines as it sounds better than 3 days of Co headliners. If they were on similar sized outdoor stages at the same times then maybe, but it’s essentially no different to usual. Post malone, disclosure and catfish heading the NME tent wouldn’t look out of place with LG, QOTSA and stormzy actual headliners. Just a clever (?!) way of looking like they’re doing something special for 2021
