2021 Lineup

[nathanh]

Could we see Royal Blood at R&L as they retweeted the announcement? 

[Jericode]

Definitely not, they'd headline R&L or nothing now I reckon.

They're also headlining Victorious the same weekend aren't they?

[Dukey]

R&L 2022 headliners I reckon for Royal Blood - especially if there are 6 headliners again

Oh yeah totally forgot about them doing Victorious

Could see this happening. Might be a Secret Set before headliner situation on one of the days they arent playing Victorious 

[TheWaters]

Royal Blood supported by The Amazons on an arena tour is mega. Rate that. Seeing RB at Truck if it happens so won’t bother with a ticket though. Might do if that gets canned though 

[Ives562]

Can't wait for this at Reading 🙂

[OnlyRevolutions]

Think we were all assuming it anyways but Nothing But Thieves have been confirmed to be opening the main-stage

Where have you seen this, say they’re playing the Main Stage on insta

Looks like it’s their facebook, the randl mill posted a screenshot on twitter. Top stuff from them btw.

Not sure about anyone else but NBT being the first act of the weekend is a hell of a way to kick it off

[Andre91]

That’s a bloody great booking getting them to kick the day off. That’ll get people into the arena early for sure.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Frank Turner added, he’s doing a show in Manchester the week before and a show the week after

No space. He's not as big as he once was but still won't fit in Lock Up or The Pit.

NBT being confirmed to open the main stage has ended any talk of there being an extra Main Stage act that day. If another act is added to MSW like speculated then, with the flip-flopping run of acts, either NBT wouldn't open or Stormzy wouldn't close.

I reckon he could do secret solo set tbh

That's true. I took from "added" meaning added to the lineup, ie. not secretly.

Yeah could see him turning up solo on the BBC Intro or Lockup

[Jonathan Jonathan]

Damn Squid would be a good addition to the line up

[TheWaters]

Squid album is good. Highly recommend the Iceage album to anyone who’s not heard it too. Danish post punk with some big primal scream type vibes. Would never expect them on an R&L lineup but it’s a great album regardless

[Jonathan Jonathan]

Slowthai is playing so many bloody shows this summer he’s everywhere. Also Squid Banquet instore on the Monday after Reading so hopefully they are added

[Andre91]

I’ve only just listened to Pa Salieu for the first time this past weekend and I’m well in on him. He’s playing the Saturday of APE on R&L weekend so I’m hoping he’ll get added to the Sunday of Reading so he’s at Leeds on the Friday. 

[TheWaters]

Speaking as a Coventrian, Pa Salieu best thing to happen to Coventry since it got flattened in the war. Dreadful city. Glad we finally have a good rapper though, Jay1 is shit

[nathanh]

Given the new 2022 survey came out today asking for acts name your 6 headliners?

I’ll start: 

The weeknd/Billie Eilish 

Dave

RATM 

Royal Blood 

BMTH 

Travis Scott

[CG31]

I put: Tame Impala, Billie Eilish, Dua Lipa, Rage, The Strokes and someone else who I’ve already forgotten 

[dentalplan]

The lineup went down pretty well so I'm surprised most of the talk since is about who will be added. When the lineup is 95% done, as it is now, it's usually just a couple of acts added to the bottom of some stages, isn't it? The types who don't even get an announcement. Competition winners and such.
