Each to there own but don't you need to be more than " fun and energetic" to headline reading? Just a thought 🤔 Reading will do and have done a lot worse than have Yungblud headline. Not sure he’ll make the step up myself but sold out a pretty chunky academy tour, 5 dates at Kentish Town and Alexandra Palace recently so he’s definitely someone to look out for. Great live act, has a massive fan base, a good message and has some bangers as well but feel like he needs his next album to be pretty big to progress to headline status. Can see him doing Wembley Arena or a little run of arenas next year once he’s announced his next album which he’s apparently already written and recorded. Imagine he’ll play Glastonbury next year, he subbed R&L this year so I doubt he’d come back and sub again although stranger things have happened but it would be odd and he’s not ready to headline yet.

Maybe in a few years he could headline. Technically he subbed at Leeds, but as we all know sub the second main is really forth down. My point is next year or so is too early for Yung close the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 Before the weird maths of working out the ranking of slots between the two main stages begins, I'm just gonna point out Yungblud wasn't meant to sub the 2nd main stage, he got bumped up to sub when Machine Gun Kelly pulled out and Blossoms were added below them.

Yungblud was always going to sub Leeds, they were due to swap but when he pulled out Yungblud got bumped to sub at Reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would sub at the very least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are expecting Knotfest to be announced in the UK but when they announced their Euro dates it was a mix of festivals and their own Knotfests with nothing for here and I can’t see them skipping the UK.

FeverDream Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I know it has been said further up the thread but after seeing BMTH at Liverpool without any of the lighting or stage design that the main tour used they still put on a show worthy of an R&L headline slot. Would be mad not to book them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWaters Posted October 6, 2021 Report Share Posted October 6, 2021 I genuinely am predicting an MGK headline next year on the second main stage. He's huge at the minute, dropped out last minute and will definitely be in demand enough to do it by next summer. I can't stand the guy but I saw a LOT of people saying he was their most anticipated act on social media this year/saying how gutted they were he dropped out so it'd definitely go down well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can get him back to sub, though, they will. Edited October 6, 2021 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many years they’ll have to have the two main stages before we stop saying ‘if they’re doing the 6 headline thing’? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
