2024 Festival

[cinnamoncola]

Does it happen a lot that the general sale starts without there being a poster/with only a small number of acts announced or is it a first time thing this year?

IDLES have a lovely randl sized gap in their recently announced tour and have been heavily requested the last few years so definitely expecting them in an upcoming announcement

The line-up is an improvement on what we've been getting the past few years, but still a far cry from the '00s or even '10s.

The Prodigy is a great booking though. I still remember when they last played in 2009 and would have completely stolen the show for the entire weekend, had Radiohead not played.

Kinda hard to compare this to older lineups yet when only a handful of names have been announced.

Denzel was great on the main stage a few years ago

Agreed, was one of the best sets of the weekend

Now the dust has settled, I’m only really keen for the Friday at Reading, but waiting to see who else gets added & find out about stages first.

For £115 it’s gotta be a good undercard or none of my mates will be bothered unfortunately. 

Did someone say the day ticket price will increase to £125? When is the cutoff for this happening?

I’m intrigued too because what I was told was “Going to have a lot of space to fill”

How ITK is your source? Essentially saying a hellfest double stage setup is what they have planned … which is in line with what others have heard about major layout changes too

Can’t see that happening, there’s just not the room at Reading, the individual stages would be tiny and the crowd trying to move from on to the other carnage

If there is a tent this year I would be booking Electric Callboy, seem to be taking off and have a kind of crossover appeal.

I jumped on the day ticket for £115. I don't live too far and am staying over at a friends who lives 15 minutes from the site. Blink/Prodigy/Spiritbox was more than enough for that price personally.

Potential leaked lineup for Victorious, not sure if that means we can right any of these acts being off for Reading Leeds….

Bands don’t normally play both so will very likely mean a no if it’s real

[Aromaticmusic1]

How likely is it that tickets sell out

Pretty huge lineup for them if true. For some reason I think it’s too good to be true. Big competition for R&L now as well. 

[Gejonimo]

Victorious line-up is out and is the leaked one. Massive line-up that.

[andywatts1995]

It's legit 

[Aromaticmusic1]

Is it possible we could see any of them at r/l?

[frazzlef50]

Gimme that biffy secret set at R&L

[CG31]

That’s quite the lineup for Victorious wow

Tbf I don't see why idles couldnt play sat-reading/sun-leeds, driving Portsmouth-->reading-->Leeds makes sense to me, nice straight line lol

Victorious don't spend a load of money on them for them to only go and play a rival festival...

It will be interesting to see, given how strong the early names are, what Reading can do with the undercard with Boardmasters, Parklife, Truck etc... needing to fill their lineups too

[Dukey]

Idles are playing Piece Hall in Halifax so sadly would be surprised if they did R&L as well 

[VCK2]

The Libertines have a new album out next year so it wouldn't surprise me if they were booked. 3rd down on MSE or MSW sub?
