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. 

That's what I thought. I think they've booked 2 of the second stage acts basically as subs but as it's outside called them headliners. Both could arguably play NME.

[Jack.194]

I’m assuming that’s all we’re getting

I heard Disclosure, Post Malone and Queens also from someone in the know - but frankly I didn't post it here as I thought they were having me on.

So I'm quite confident that's correct 

hahahaha wow

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

It is though cause they're taking away Radio 1 and if there's no clashes between main stage chunks that's losing quite a few acts across the weekend

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

They'll sell day tickets for Reading for the rock crowd while Liam will sell them in Leeds for the....Northern crowd. 

Good business decision I think there 

[Stuielooie]

Swear there was meant to be 120 names at 7

[VCK]

Well, the Tool dream is over for another year. Or thirteen.

to be fair it is 1 minute to 7 lets hold in our excitement for another few seconds

[Jayden2304]

Genuinely probably most hyped for 100 gecs. They'd unironically be great live. 

[Sam Y]

they just posted the small one

[FestivalJamie]

This has to be the worst reading line up I've ever seen 🤣

I agree apart from Post Malone headlining the NME tent would obviously be mental

[CG31]

Ready for someone to guess the subs or do we think they’re all subs underneath

[jonnyx]

Was it in that interview the 120 names quote?

Yeah I think the subs are AJ , TDCC and Capaldi.

 

[JamieB1830]

...yeah you know what? maybe it’ll be glasto next year. 

[Jack.194]

The website does say full lineup at 7pm, but I’m assuming that just means the full lineup so far.

Also the 120 names was mentioned by Dan

[Bandit Tom]

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)

 

Want some lube to fuck me with this dry hope you left me, Dan

Dan lied about the 120 names

Reading website did say poster earlier, but it's probably just that smaller poster

Aye, it means full lineup so far. He's a promoter...you aren't meant to be fed 'false' info. I mean it's pretty poor for me with an under card so far of no interest really and only 2 headliners of interest but again I'm 15 older than they are targeting at.

I'm done with this festival. Every year I get my hopes up and think it might get better, and every year it just gets worse. At least 2020 was going to have RATM. Complete waste of time staying invested.

[Andre91]

Melvin is a senile old fart.

Some decent names there but how the hell are Disclosure headlining? I think they’ll pull the smallest crowd.

Really disappointed that they’ve doubled their headliners & still not booked a woman. Completely ridiculous.

i gotta admit, they missed a trick with billie eilish

how's melvin just gonna say "oh yeah we're doing all new headliners haha" then just pull this out his arse

like, come on man.at least just recycle last years. no one asked for 6 stages lol 

[TheWaters]

Capaldi, TDCC, AJ Tracey and Doja Cat are subs imo. Dan said only 4 subs were being announced tonight and I believe him on that
