Not trying to put a downer on it but has anyone else see this quote from a Reading Council member saying it hasn't yet approved the festival taking place? It'll just be the council being cautious at this stage but just thought I'd share: https://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/news/19126083.reading-festival-confirmation-downplayed-council/

No it's true though. No one has given an official yes from it. The festival have plugged the media with what they had to go on and the intended result they wanted is what they got.

I managed 90 from 106.

Nice one! Some annoying omissions from me like forgetting one's like Manic's, Stereophonics and The Prodigy.

The Hunna put on their Instagram 2 days ago 'watch this space next week for exciting news' and are replying to loads of comments about R and L with '👀👀 watch this space'

So I’m guessing that’s a lineup announcement this week then

Does anyone have the screenshots of this? I don’t use Instagram and can’t find it anywhere

Anyone think the announcement about Leeds Friday/Sunday tickets selling out will come out soon? I swear they've been gone for days

They might be waiting until they announce some more names e.g. RandL is now fully sold out, here’s your lineup etc.

This was good fun! I got 81/106 so I'm happy with that! (Especially considering I've only gone to the festival since 2008)

Just to try sum up the last few days for announcements we thinking: 

Declan McKenna - Tour dates lineup 

Tom Grennan - BBC Interview 

The Hunna - Instagram Comments 

Slowthai - Tour dates lineup just after RandL Weekend

PS. Solardo suggests that the acts on the main stage may be on different stages

Rob Kellas seems to think that the 2 main stage thing is “definitely a one off” (most recent video at time stamp 18:30) he usually has some sort of inside info but i’m not sure he does on this. What’s everyone’s opinions?

To be honest I don't think it's certain, they'll probably just see how it goes

They could be right, think they also mentioned in their vid that 2021’s headliners were already booked by the time 2020’s festival would’ve took place, hence six headliners this time

He also said he is sure tickets are being released in batches but melvin interview confirmed this wasn't the case

My initial thought was it was a one off as they were going to try and make everything outside. However, with the fact that the other tents bar R1 are probably still going to be there, my thoughts are it’s permanent.

Logistically, purchasing, manufacturing and storing two identical stages just to use them for one year wouldn't be the smartest idea FR have ever made.

Thinking about it now, this probably means we will see six headliners more often

Assume one will be the lattitude stage or similar
