Reckon they’re busy working out which state to cut next

I am beginning to suspect that they've cut both down to 3 stages. 

[she bangs the drums]

From past experience, when there is a delay in announcing bands, it usually not a good sign.....when they have a good hand, FR usually show their hand early.

[craigcharles420]

Yeah, not expecting much from this second wave based on how long it is taking

[Komaric]

This is looking like a really weak year for music. No big announcements/tours and we’re in March. Do bands not want to tour because GTA VI is coming out? lol

[Andre91]

Had a go at filling out a Main Stage lineup knowing it’s probably going to be disappointing. Also included a few  second stage acts: 

 

Fontaines D.C. / Charli xcx / IDLES / Declan McKenna / Geese / Skye Newman / English Teacher / The Royston Club / Fat Dog 

 

Skepta / EsDeeKid 

 

 

Raye / Dave / sombr / The Last Dinner Party / JADE / Headie One / ADÉLA / fimiguerrero / ALT BLK ERA

 

Confidence Man / KETTAMA

 

 

Chase and Status / Florence + The Machine / ROLE MODEL / Kneecap / Maximo Park / The Japanese House / Lottery Winners / YONAKA / SPRINTS

 

Chase Atlantic / Josh Baker

Have all the announced names been confirmed to be main stage? Was wondering which stage Geese would end up on particularly

No but I assume Geese will be on Main because of the buzz around them.

I'd be surprised if Josh Baker isn't headlining the stage he's on

Had a dream last night that Biffy Clyro, Knocked Loose and Creeper were announced. I think the chances of anyone that good being announced are slim though!

The Josh Baker into Chase Atlantic crowd turnover would be quite something.

 

Also double Chase headlining!

Definitely sounds like the kind of thing that happens at Reading in 2026

[Chapple12345]

Latitude are announcing more names tomorrow, I guess it could mean FR are going to drip feed more names into their other festivals too? 

[NorthernSoul52]

Would be nice to get some fresh deets at the very least. Feels like it's been an age.

[MatthewFletcher]

Looks like Speed are the token heavy band 

[thescientist]

Reading app looks like it has all the new names
