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

One or two, yes. Those in the top 3 rows, I'd be inclined to say probably not.

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?

more likely for the superstruct circuit these days i think

Noah Kahan playing some uk gigs August 2024. 13th August in Manchester but theyll be more I assume. Cant see where he fits if he were to play.

He's playing in Europe over the R+L weekend so won't be there. Potential headliner for 2025/2026, though.

Bummer. 2025 it is!

Not been much news for like a week and a half now. Lots of teasing on Twitter for a poster. Kinda odd that there’s been no official announcement on Denzel curry since he was leaked a while ago? When do you reckon we’ll get the next poster?

On the R&L tiktok, they posted acknowledging that people have been constantly asking for a poster. I doubt they’d do that if it wasn’t at least relatively soon.

The View announced today that they will support Liam in London and Glasgow next year and replied with a couple of cryptic emojis to someone asking if they'll be at Reading too. Could that be a yes?

If they're playing I wonder what kinda slot they would get? They surely wouldn't get to sub Liam directly since they're nowhere near big enough

They'll be nowhere near subbing, I'd be surprised if they even get a main stage slot. They were struggling to even give away free tickets for their non-Scotland dates on the current tour.

I reckon sub as long as they brawl on stage again

If not then somewhere in the FR during the day

Sziget have just dropped their first wave of names; are there any on here you would think will do R&L?

Wow, they usually have a pretty decent lineup. Probably one of the worst I’ve ever seen, certainly one of the worst this year. Can see Fontaines, Yard Act and Nova Twins doing it. 

[Andre91]

Those mentioned above + Four Tet.

Thought the exact same, had considered it as a cheap European festival this year but with that lineup I cant justify it

Yeah I have a hotel provisionally booked for it and I’ve just cancelled it. Not for me at all

[foolee]

Probably think that R&L, Isle of Wight, Rock Am Ring/Im Park and Hellfest have got the best lineups this year.

That lineup is what efestival users expect from R&L every year before the announcement

Pretty dreadful lineup that - hopefully we get Fontaines / Nova Twins on the main stage and can see Four Tet in the Dance Tent

For me, Reading, Nova Rock and Sonic Temple.

I raise you PinkPop. I can only hope that Limp Bizkit are on before Sam Smith for that neck-snapping whiplash.

To be fair I’d happily watch Avril, Royal Blood, Nothing But Thieves, Limp Bizkit and Greta Van Fleet and check out Ed, Jane’s Addition & Maneskin so Pinkpop still wins for me.

I think I'd literally only bother with Pendulum & Greta Van Fleet on there, maybe Avril for old time's sake. Sziget at least has Fontaines, Yard Act, Four Tet, Fred & Stormzy

I'd watch Maneakin, Avril, Royal Blood, Calvin, Pendulum, Against the current, Hozier, Limp Bizkit

[Aromaticmusic1]

Realistically how many sub headliners do we have left and who is everyone realistically predicting still to come? 
MSE: Raye, 21 Savage, Jorja Smith

MSW: Fontaines D.C, Denzel Curry, The Kooks/ Wombats/ Jamie T

I reckon skrillex and the prodigy will be headlining a different more dance oriented stage instead of subbing with Four Tet as the 3rd

I’d watch them. I wouldn’t pay to watch them

(well Bizkit and potentially Harris I would)
