I think that Neck Deep will headline that tent against Gerry Cinnamon so they don’t clash with Blink. 

As long as whatever they do doesn’t create a Spiritbox - Mannequin Pussy clash all is good

Just looking over kenny beats at festivals going to be some bounce!

I still can’t believe Militarie Gun are there. My eyes went straight to those bottom stages and I legit shouted ‘OHHHHH!’ when I saw them. My favourite new band of the last year and one of my favourite albums from last year (made my top 3). OOH OOH!

Gotta recommend you Spiritual Cramp who also got announced. Saw them support Militarie Gun at the Brudenell last year and enjoyed them just as much as the Gun

Honestly think that Lana will above Fred Again... on the line up. She's the reason why day tickets for Saturday at Reading at £195 right now.

She suits the sunset spot well though

Although would work for Fred too…

The thought of LDR at sunset feels dreamy

I had tickets for that show but couldn’t go in the end!

Low availability on Reading Sunday now too

Could it be Lana is the "headliner", 21 Savage is the sub .. and Fred close the stage as a late night DJ set?

Think we've got similar tastes - you should definitely check out The Scratch

[Alex DeLarge]

Honestly feels like UK drill is on the downslide. Dance music is all the teenagers I work with talk about at the minute. Bringing back the tent makes sense to fill the line up with artists like Nia/ Barry Can't Swim.

[Andre91]

Just found a poster I made months ago and whilst my artist prediction was way off, looks like I was pretty accurate with the staging! The Chevron stage is basically a mix of the Dance and 1Xtra tents, which is what I predicted on my lineup with the BBC Sound Stage.

Tldp and crawlers are excellent both in terms of music and stage presence. Crawlers especially - both times I’ve seen them in festival tents - have been proper good. Both made their way into my top 5 songs of last year too (nothing matters and messiah respectively)

Going even further back to 2001, Travis being subbed by Green Day!

I'd forgotten about that but I saw it on a festival poster archive and did go "... huh?"

Does Green Day being subbed by 50 Cent in 2004 also count for weirdness?

So two headliners finishing the same stage now kinda like Wechter etc. If so it would make sense because how Lana would have taken MSW got knows. 

All of them given a headline set length. I thought Pendulim there though is a dead booking. 

I think it's a well thought out way although except for The Prodigy and Ashniko it's a bit apart from main.

Liam and Catfish are well out of the scene that day. The Prodigy vs Blink 182 is mad....I never thought The Prodigy were subbing though.

This can’t be right, no way would they clash these two… does this maybe reveal something about the stage setup 

[gfa]

Willcatch up tomorrow but this is the best foryears. Stacked headliners and a fantastic undercard. Hats off.

Someone has to clash. The only other option is that Chevron finishes before the main stage does. If it wasn't a clash I'm all over but I'm not choosing between them given The Prodigy look like they've not got Glastonbury.

I think you may be in a minority lol. Headliners and The Prodigy yes but there is top much of trying to attract top many different crowds.

This album by the last dinner party is fantastic so far 🤩 bring on leeds

Disagree, the headliners are great and the undercard is brilliant. Not sure what else you could ask for, it’s RandL not Glastonbury, this is as good as it gets
