Think this is pretty similar to mine. I have a strange feeling we could see 2/3 of  Bastille / The Wombats / Blossoms co headline on a dry year in a couple of years which would probably equally as dull despite the fact I actually enjoy two of them.

I don’t think we’ll see the Wombats headline I think 2 Door/ Bastille and Royal Blood are the next ones to jump

I might be biased because Blossoms are basically my favourite band but I’d absolutely love then to get w headline slot

I'm not sure why, I just have a strange feeling about the wombats. Their last album sold very well and a number of songs with a lot of radio play, I could see R&L slotting them in as a cheap co head if their next album fares well.

I'm 90% sure Royal Blood will off their next album as long as they maintain the momentum, their last big tour sold very quickly despite the massive arenas they were playing.

I love Blossoms, one of my favorites too and the amount of money I've spent on their vinyl releases is scary. I can very much see R&L boosting them up to a headliner position as they obviously enjoy them although I think it would be one of the smallest and motionless headliner crowds in history. They don't seem to pull the crowds down south and to me have always suited mid/ small sized venues a lot better imo.

What position dyou think Alt-J would play now not sure if they've really grown since they subbed in 2015

They’ve not really grown but they haven’t really got any smaller either, they’re still a huge band so I’d say sub again, maybe a R1 headline. Doubt they’ll play though I think the last thing they did was headline boardmasters all the way back in 2017

I could see Alt j headlining radio 1 again 

I’ve never managed to see them so wouldn't mind this. An Awesome Wave is a class album. They’re supposed to be a bit shit live though I think.

Dunno if I could see them getting booked though tbh

I’d actually quite like to see Calvin Harris but maybe not at Reading

I’d like that if they was up against the shit headliner, they were decent in 2015 but I didn’t know them then, only got into them in recent months

I’ve seen them many times and I thought they were fine. I think some people don’t vibe with downtempo music at all. Alt J aren’t even downtempo I just think some people don’t like bands who don’t have flare anthems.

Ah fair play then. Yeah not sure, I’d just heard from a few people that they weren’t too interesting live but yeah it’s all subjective at the end of the day. 

Not sure if I can see them doing it but if they do I’d probably see them over most of the likely headliners.

Enjoyed them a lot at Latitude a couple of years ago. I just don't think a lot of people get what they were expecting from them.

On the other hand, best possible (realistic) headliners assuming every currently active act is available to tour? 

Rage Against The Machine, Foals/BMTH & The 1975 

Can't see the 1975 being there there have a huge show at Finsbury Park in July

    • Having done all three, Porto is lovely, very chilled but nowhere near as exciting as Barcelona (nor as many options). Bilbao BBK has charm but again not a patch on Barcelona really.   ps and the beer was 5.50, not 5, last year 😉 
    • Honest question and with the risk of getting slaughtered, do you feel people should stop the chatting on the entire field? When my group is in the front rows we surely keep the talking to a minimum and largely only about how great or bad the artist is. But surely on the main field when you are further back (lets say around the bars (200 meters from the podium) you should be able to have a conversation. If people are still annoyed about that I would recommend them moving up further.
    • I just genuinely think they don't understand technology and its felt like this since the invention of the internet.   Also see say a speech on a Monday saying we want to be a world leader in "this thing" then on a Wednesday another speech saying "this thing" is bad and needs to be banned/regulated out of existance.
    • My party again had an outstanding 4 days in Barca. We made the right call to leave the festival site early at about 10.30 on Thursday to get ourselves some excellent steaks in the city. I am with everyone that the organization should have been clearer about what is going on and also if you would like to get rid of some attendees open more exits, they sent us from gate to gate until we finally were able to get out. Biggest 'disappointment' was the beer price, a YoY increase from 5 to 6 is absolutely nuts!!! (i am living in Switzerland so me making this comment says something 🙂)   Top 10:   1. Men I Trust 2. Role Model (could have been first as well, what a great artist and great songs) 3. The XX 4. The cure (the last 90 minutes) 5. Gorillaz 6. MBV 7. Ninajirachi (another big miss of the organization, clearly on the wrong podium and wonder if Olivia's surprise set had something to do with that and they had to reschuffle late the Occident, Cupra and Port schedules) 8. NewDad 9. Big Thief 10. Annastashia      We did 3 years Barca now and for next year looking at the Porto or Bilbao festivals as an option. 
    • Personally if it was me now, I would be grabbing a green camping ticket with the knowledge closer when I've refreshed that I can still choose general if I want to....you can't do the opposite!    I would say if you are happy to watch your headliners and big bands further back to be able to see who you actually plan to later then yes it is fine. Its a much difference experience to any other festival especially food wise and camping surrounds.    Once you're in the arena as well you're not going back unless you've got a gap. If I go again I'll be going with the option of not trying to push the front and enjoying further back as you actually put too much pressure on it than the time take away can forget to enjoy other acts.
