Reading app looks like it has all the new names

Bigger names (at least those I've heard of!) seem to be

Cruz BEckham
McKenna
Florence Rd
Humberstone
Hybrid Minds
James Marriott
Kingfishr
Loyle Carner

Men I trust
Niko B
Radio Free Alice
Slayyyter
Lathums
Viagra Boys
Violet Grohl


Some of these may have already been announced, not sure but they seem to have the newer acts on top of the Artists page in the app

Yup, at this stage 2.0 can only really be concluded to be a continuing of the downsizing in the modern booking environment.

2nd rate headliners (if 2 per day) and a 2nd rate undercard. Its basically a youth Victorious at this point in regards to quality and quantity booked

One headliner and 20-30% of ticket prices, sold as the big boon next year is my prediction.

No one over 25 is buying a weekend ticket for this

Yours for only £325 plus booking fee.

Someone on Reddit Screenshot it all before they took it down

Happy with Kingfshr, Loyles always good, Viagra Boys i have yet to see. Westside Cowboy are everywhere, but excited for them. 

[RandomEnglishPerson]

would be tempted to go for speed, if they play the saturday and theres a decent amount of acts id also want to watch, im not holding onto much hope

Declan McKenna and The Lathums

There are some nice upcoming names on there, but I think it could be the weakest festival line up of the year, and not worth the price of admission in comparison to what is available elsewhere. 

[Benj]

100 or so acts announced now, so good news is there are going to be at least 4 stages

....Unless they close 3 of them early every night..... they wouldnt

Would they?

(They would)

 

[craigcharles420]

At first glance, I'll go see Jane Remover, Slayyyter and Viagra Boys definitely. Maybe missing some others

Be interested to see if this is inclusive of the bbc introducing acts (likely)

3 out of 100. Welcome to the 2.0 baby!

[Yellow_Fellow]

Into the additions of Frost Children (justice for HARU NERUMI tho), Jane Remover, Speed and Slayyyter. 

 

Why are people on that Reddit post saying they're surprised Charli's still on there?

There were rumours (as per every year) that a headliner, presumed her, had pulled out, hence the line up delay

Turns out it looks like they just had to delay until they could post as many names as pos to make it not look utterly embarassing

Judging by the amount of acts and the size of them, it should have the same layout as last year. Main, Chevron, Radio 1 and Introducing. Remains to be seen if the AUX stage is making a comeback.

Glad to see the rumour mill never changes. Reckon I'll get my money's worth on this one yet.

[korokband]

The Charli stuff is probably just because she seems to have disappeared off of socials and isn't really promoting anything. Given that the rumour from other places is that she was pulled in because Deftones decided to do APE instead I'd imagine she will be there, it'll probably just be a reheated brat show.

God imagine a world where you can go quiet on socials without people thinking something’s gone on.

 

Speaking of, if Labour do ban social media for U16s, do you think we’d get fewer Tik Tok one hit wonders on the bill? 😂

Well its more like 20 or so out of 100 when factoring in the first wave and after a second glance of this. I am standing by what I have been saying about the lineup being good

She is doing other festivals this year too, she was only announced for Lolla a week or two back. So her pulling out of performances for the year would be strange

[Tom89x]

Posters are out, looks like Leeds missing a few of the Reading acts (Loyle carner, viagra boys, gunna )

[Andre91]

f**king rubbish. 

[gfa]

Prospa who are from Leeds only doing Reading lol

 

The Warehouse is basically the tiktok dance stage lol - very dance heavy this year
