Didn't think I'd ever go back to R&L for obvious reasons, but couldn't rule out a day trip to that

Would probably rather go to Electric Picnic if the line up is good and make a few days of it

Has any act ever headlined R&L after playing a lower slot at Glastonbury the same year...? 

Foals/Disclosure in 2016.

[chazwwe]

I can't see them coming over to England twice in the middle of a US tour...  

[AlexOvd]

Coming to Europe when all the big festivals are finished (only Reading as a huge one) and coming for a few dates... I don't really get it. Prague and Krakow as only concerts out to festivals in Arenas?

Fair enough - I consider myself corrected! Maybe there is still some sliver of a chance. 
 

(Although, with no disrespect to Foals or Disclosure, I would consider RATM a bigger deal by some way than either...) 😏

Are they 100% not an exclusive? Do R/L tend to advertise acts as exclusives?

The Twitter comments are hilarious. Such a good read

I'd wait til the press release in the morning but nothing so far.

They would absolutely advertise it as an exclusive if they could get away with it.

I would give my leg to see RATM in Glasto and the people in the comments disappointed as if Reading had announced some pub band as headliners 😂😂😂😂

[danwink]

People are properly kicking off on Twitter. I think it sums up the demographic of Reading and Leeds now expecting it to be Drake or Travis Scott. 

Really tempted by a Sunday ticket now.

There's some absolute gold in the Twitter comments. Social media is a horrible place.

Electric Picnic will have the better lineup but their tickets sell out in a few hours.

Reading, Leeds, Electric Picnic and Lollapalooza Berlin are all owned by Festival Republic so a big deal was clearly struck, with some extra stops where they can get a few more paydays along the way.

They do but not being an exclusive doesn't mean they're definitely playing elsewhere. And sometimes even being labelled an exclusive has seen acts play elsewhere.

What's the Dark Fruits thing?

Could just be at Glasgow Summer Sessions; Foos and The 1975 did both last year

That space between 19 June and 10 July is huge to be honest 🤔

Glasgow Summer Sessions is in June this year so it won't be that. They won't be playing any other UK dates, if they were they'd surely have been announced tonight along with everything else.

It is what they call a "basic" bitch. Someone who might drink Strongbow Dark Fruits or drive a Fiat 500.

I hear Somerset's nice that time of year.

[Bisque]

I guess this counts them out.

Tbh I couldn’t see them headlining either Pyramid (Kendrick) or Other.

Looks like a plan. 

[Gilgamesh69]

Maybe if we all throw bricks at police cars we'll summon Morello and the lads to Glasto

Sold out months ago, in fact.
