2023 Festival

[Andre91]

Guessing that Billie, Fender and Green Day will be the MSE headliners. 
 

Billie x KSI 

Sam x Foals 

Green Day x Paramore

genuinely more chance Coolio headlining 

Yeah, surely he can’t be headlining even MSW.

My source is (once again) from KSI’s team, he’s the one I’m most certain about out of all of them.

Ahh, no way! Well, I guess MTS did headline this year. Did you get any news on who’s matched up with who in terms of day splits?

i’m so conflicted on this because you don’t tend to be on the wind up. if this was Dan we’d have all dismissed it immediately. unless, you’ve decided to go big this year… many thoughts.

No idea unfortunately!

I don't think he's on the windup. As someone who likes the older Reading, I would personally need both Green Day and Paramore to shell out what a Reading day ticket costs now as there is a likeliness that a lot of the undercard just won't be for me.

KSI did pull a pretty big crowd when he did it last time but surely MSW is a bit of a push. That being said Polo G seemed pretty awful this year and he was subbing Dave...could happen!

i 100% believe Paramore, Green Day, Sam, Billie & Foals. that doesn’t surprise me one bit. I just absolutely cannot get my head round KSI headlining. I don’t believe that one. I just can’t see it.

I’d say KSI is certainly bigger than Polo G here, it does seem about right to me.

How are people lapping this shit up 😂

the very cheap one I imagine to even it out. Paramore/Green Day would be a ticket instant but I don't see it.

the others aren't that expensive are they? billie / sam fender / green day / paramore / foals isn't horrendous i feel?

[wro_lap]

I buy it. Think that's a great lineup

[stanh]

Some VERY big changes to what I've heard in regards to those names, KSI especially - that aside, those acts for headliners alongside some other big names beneath, probably would do quite well, even if the initial headline announcement will receive its fair share of backlash (but doesn't it always?). Given a little poster a quick whip up, and to me it does look very R&L.

Wow. 50% is alright for me, I guess.

Would be a very easy one for me to not go to for the first time in 27 years!

Sure he’s not headlining the 1 Extra?

It’s pretty uninspiring in the main, esp as two of the 6 have co-headlined previously, kind of making a mockery of the whole 2 main stage thing.

If the 3rd is KSI level then all could very easily have played second in the old format, if maybe not under Greed Day and Eilish

Green Day | Eilish | (co-head) - Fender and Paramore

...Would’ve been decent under the old setup. KSI could’ve headlined the tent when Green Day were on.

I would probably attend Sunday but why you would want to watch KSI before Green Day I don't know. Defo not enough on that Paramore day, I only really like them. I defo feel of you pair KSI with Billie and Foals with same Fender your sell with be better.

[foolee]

This just doesn’t feel right to me, surely KSI isn’t that big? Would be annoyed with Green Day as that means I’d be there for at least a day ticket. Hoping they’d have Sam Fender or Foals MSW their day. Also weird we’d get Green Day and not Blink-182 with all the Lollapalooza rumours. Could Green Day be doing American Idiot in full (anniversary is 2024 but here’s hoping)?

[Jericode]

I'll believe that list when I ser it on a big yellow poster but it would make next year very tempting for me.

Definitely not, he’s far too big for that. He played the O2 not too long ago!

I think people underestimate his popularity, annoyingly he’s absolutely everywhere.  He’ll have some big boxing fights coming up too which will boost his profile even more

[JSmurphy]

Green Day and Paramore on the same day would be so perfect I refuse to get my hopes up.
