not for MGK, maybe for Posty but i highly doubt it. i’m personally thinking Frank Carter for the replacement 

I dont think Frank Carter is big enough. I was thinking more like slip them under Biffy and have it as a co headline so Biffy / BMTH then Yungblud.

BMTH are absolutely big enough to be one of R&L’s 6 headliners. No chance. 

Frank is big enough.

Here is my post from 10th July. MGK didn't have it listed then so has not suddenly removed it.

Do we think there’s the possibility hes pulled out at the same time as QOTSA but R&L thought thatd be too much of a big loss with both of them gone in the same announcement? It’d make sense if his and Deznels have been gone since then maybe it’s a case of that, or that they hadn’t organised an adequate replacement yet so have been waiting to announce it

 

Probably not the case but worth a shout

Quite worrying for MGK's status, that was number one reason my friend I'm going with is going.

 

Do you think the reason his drummer isn't playing is because Travis will be on drums?

Trying to find any hope

Imagine if all of this fretting is for nothing and Travis fucking Barker walks out on stage next Friday.

Im not too bothered about him not being there and considering Travis took his first flight since the plane crash in 2008 a week or so ago, I can’t see him flying over to the UK.

I don’t have think Frank Carter can play that high. He obviously has a large fan base, it’s very niche though, he had a small crowd, relatively, to pretty much all acts around that time of day at Reading in 2019. 

He is in no way mainstream. Admittedly he’s released little of late, he has 1/3rd of Wolf Alice’s monthly listeners for starters and Wolf Alice don’t have that many!

The Vaccines straight in for MGK? And could easily see Dave in for Postie, not sure they can change genres really

Highly doubt postie will drop out as it’s far easier for him to come over than a full band .

[Dukey]

I’m at the point now where I don’t really care who does or doesn’t turn up - I’ll just be buzzing to be there

Seconded. This time next week camp will be set up and I'll be having some beers with  mates I haven't seen together since Reading 19

I went to Bloodstock last week so have had a head start on you all but I know what you mean.

Reading line up isn’t the best for me this year but will Be so glad to be there.

[Benj]

if MGK pulls, lash everyone up a spot and give Girl in Red a main stage slot too ala 333

(this is based solely on me not fancying her clashing with the headliners)

[wghennessy]

Got sent a photo of Yungbluds band rehearsing for Leeds tonight so you've got that one boxed off at least lol.

 

EDIT Sorry Leeds / Reading....always known as Leeds festival in my household.

Im an idiot again

[VCK]

It seems to me like the second Main Stage is similar to the Other Stage at Glastonbury. It might work, scrapping the NME/R1 Tent for good and just having an open air second stage.

[foolee]

What’s to say MGK won’t have a session drummer? Yungblud had a session drummer for all 5 of his Kentish Town shows.

Exactly.

If that person on Twitter has made it all up to try and get some weird clout, they’re a proper dweeb. 

[Jack.194]

Anyone seen Twin Atlantic’s your dates?

They’re playing London Thursday 26th, and Leeds on Sunday 29th. Surely must make an appearance at some point.

Unless we’re all dweebs for believing a random person on Twitter, surely we should know better.

No thank you.

According to the posters, YUNGBLUD and MGK are switching around, so MGK subbing Reading but YUNGBLUD subbing Leeds.

Good find!
