Could mean an announcement is imminent

That’s what I’m thinking, this along with Tom Grennan saying on the radio the other day that he’s planning AND Declan McKenna releasing his tour with a huge RandL shaped gap. Fingers crossed!

slowthai's tour is set for March 2022, do we reckon he'll just be on the festival circuit this year and then tour next? seems weird for him to announce a tour for over a years time when he has an album to promote this summer.. maybe shows he or his manager aren't confident of gigs going ahead anytime soon, or perhaps this was planned well before the new road map was layed out and they had no way of moving the tour to this year

Both of them are very very strong possibilities

I think he’ll be added to the lineup.

seems very likely now seeing as he wont be touring this new album any time soon, guess he'll have to promote these new songs at festivals instead

He's a stereotypical RandL act as well, attracts a young crowd and can play most places on the bill

if the R1 stage exists this year i can see him slotting in to headline that, if not then i'm not sure where he'd fit on the main stage, maybe something like this:

Stormzy / Catfish / Lewis Capaldi / AJ Tracey / Slowthai

Although fifth down seems a bit too low for him, i'd have him around third down, although all those slots seem to be taken

If you go on Solardo's instagram, into the comments, they confirm that they'll be playing the dance stage this year

Which post is this? I can only see stuff about 2020

its not really 5th down though, more like 3rd due to the two mainstages

i'm still considering the two main stages one stage, no clashes means there'll be about nine acts per day (maybe a few more due to a quick turn over) which is the same as a regular year with one main stage, four acts will still follow after him but it depends on if he cares about his placing or not

Based on absolutely zero information I’m gonna place my bets on a 1975 secret set.

Why? They headlined last time

id like slowthai on the disclosure day - would be cool for them to bring him out too during their set

I was thinking that, my high would be great with live vocals

Like I said I have no evidence, but my thoughts were

- Finsberry Park gig cancelled. Could be a way of trying to make up.

- They keep teasing ‘Drive Like I Do’ their old band. Secret set would be a good way to play a surprise oldies set for the fans. Low budget just the four main guys, no glitz/big production.

- They seem to have a sentimental attachment to R&L. If they did anything this year I could see it be this. Could see them not wanting any big payments.

- Make it a sort of reverse Killers Glastonbury, where they Secret Setted 2017, headlined 2019. Especially since The 1975 R&L set went down well.

- Posty has evidenced there are few hard and fast rules on headliners. Headline ~> secret set makes more sense than coheadline ~> consecutive headline. (Though neither make much sense admitedly)

- Matt Healy is a nutcase and it’s 100% something I could see him doing something illogical like it.

 

like I said, no evidence just a weird hunch.

Architects on Dan Carter's radio show tonight, maybe we could see them announce/hint at themselves playing this year

they are supposed to be releasing drive like i do album soon, would be cool but i'm not convinced

Yeah, it’s really illogical to do something as wacky as play a gig for money. What a mad head 😆

I mean completely fair enough, just a random thought that crossed my head today. Not even a big fan, so not me wishlisting or anything, and like I said no proper evidence.

My point was more going headline to secret set is illogical. Though I can see now rereading i did phrase it weirdly.

 

on a different note, thoughts on Phoenix playing? They’ve been teasing a new album for a while and could be a potential R1 headliner if that tent exists

It’s not illogical at all.

[NoBuses]

Pulp secret set. Let me dream.

[CG31]

I think Biffy secret set if anyone. I doubt however we’ll get any as many of the big ones are on the R1 and that’s all up in the air.

for me:

Biffy, Wolf Alice if they’re not booked, YMA6 if they’re not booked or IDLES potentially if they’re not booked (all have had or will have albums out in the recent times)

If it was someone who hasn’t then Foals or maybe Muse

A lad can dream of Slipknot tho

[Quorn]

Give me a Biffy secret set and my summer will be complete.

Other than that, YMA6, Tom Grennan, Declan McKenna seem pretty set.

Wolf Alice, Slowthai, NBT, Twin Atlantic, IDKHow would also be nice additions

[NoBuses]

If there is a R1, we thinking AJ headlines it on the friday?
