Rumour has it Sam Fender is doing BST next year which would rule him out of R&L I’d say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole Reading is heavy thing is an utter myth. Even when they’ve had heavy days in the past, there’s been strong counter programming.

LazyDavid Posted August 13, 2022 Report Share Posted August 13, 2022 I think Muse do Glasto next year, traditionally I think they've done Glasto first on a tour cycle then Reading a year or 2 later (Glasto 2004, 2010, 2016 - Reading 2006, 2011, 2017) Weak af but here's one: Kasabian x Doja Cat Kendrick Lamar x Courteeners Paramore x MGK Or another: Queens of the Stone Age x Doja Cat Eminem x Paramore Twenty One Pilots x Kasabian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad888 Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 If they go for Eminem, they don't need another act thats for "us oldies" - Your RATMs etc. They can go for the more crowd pleasing acts, especially when not many of those older acts are around. They could pull out something like: Harry Styles | Kendrick Lamar | Metallica/Green Day/Blink 182 Or they could shit the bed and give us 21 Pilots | Eminem | Kasabian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R-K1D Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 Friday - The Weeknd (and Swedish House Mafia?) / Doja Cat Saturday - The Killers / Sam Fender Sunday - Eminem / Noel Gallagher’s HFB Theres a few acts that next to not a lot will predict (probably out of personal preference) that could come out of nowhere to headline though. I think one of Minaj/Cardi B could shock with a MSE slot, as well as people who get a lot of streams/radio exposure (Capaldi, Ezra, Rodrigo, Jax Jones, Lizzo, Dua Lipa). And I personally think that’s a good direction for Leeds, a lot of people who go to Leeds would love that (seen a lot of people say Rodrigo isn’t that big but she had a monumental crowd at glasto for the second stage up against Noel G) Think Kasabian will be there too, just not in a headliner slot. All depends on how well their new album does (especially with Tom leaving) that being said, it’s my first Leeds fest this year, so wtf do I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the lineup you posted might be on the steeper side ££ wise - 3 quite expensive MSW acts there come 2023 i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as LG Noel's solo stuff doesn't suit the festival, its as simple as that. They have far better options to book. pre mid like 2000s acts only get booked to headline really ala RATM, RHCP, Eminem, Muse, LG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoOdyssey Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Yungblud’s arena tour has been announced for February, support from Neck Deep. I can definitely see him as a headliner next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolee Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Do we think a February tour could actually rule him out? If it sells out then it doesn’t matter but I remember Royal Blood had their arena tour early this year and they didn’t play. Feel like it would make more sense doing an arena tour this year and then headlining next year a bit like what I think MGK will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really hard to say where he’ll play because he did Glastonbury last year and probably only suits SD at a push and R&L. Has any other act headlined R&L MSW and done a tour in the same year Jan-Mar time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
