It’s ironic because trappers are anything but rare. But in all honesty, Ski is one of the best of the bunch. Would be amazing in the 1Xtra tent. Got a lot of energy and some insane fast flows.

I don't get trap at all. Guess it just isn't my thing.

Some of it is utter shit to me, but there’s a few certain people that do it well. I love fast flows or really hyped up stuff and that’s basically what Ski does. The boring repetitive basic beat shit is not for me at all.

I didn’t know ATL we’re doing that album in full. I just had a look at tickets because that would be some awesome nostalgia and they’re £39 a pop without fees. No wonder nobody is going to see them. 

I am actually seeing them with my girlfriend so there's at least two.

To be fair, I don't think it was ever the original plan. Pierce the Veil were the original support and dropped off due to allegations so I think they just saw a chance to bring the anniversary shows they'd done in the States over without adding more dates and it seeming like a desperate cash grab. Plus it'll probably attract fans of the album and add on a few sales to the tour.

People will be saying the opposite of that when Kendrick's tour comes to town.

However awful it'd be I do think there's a genuine chance that Imagine Dragons could coheadline.

They've not been mentioned much, but what are the chances of Deftones making an appearance? They're doing early summer festivals in Europe, but it's probably not out of the question for them to come back for R&L and a few other later ones too.

Don't think it rules them out as you say but I'd think it makes them unlikely for now.

Probably overly pessimistic tbh.

On an unrelated note, I can see Paramore outright headlining and Royal Blood subbing. I have a hunch.

I think this thread is testament to the fact that no line up prediction has ever been overly pessimistic. It's always worse than we're expecting.

I wish I was going to their tour now but it's slap bang in the middle of my exams. I'd love to hear No Friend with an actually good vocal mix. Oh well. Though they do need to stop doing HalfNoise covers. There is literally no point to them.

I'm right excited for Friday. I'd have liked if Played God had stuck in their setlist for this leg of their tour, having been a constant in the last few months, but other than that I can't have any real complaints. After Laugher was a joy and I have no doubt that the band are capable of translating it into a live environment.

Mind you, I would lose my shit if in the midst of all their mellifluous synth-pop tracks they drop Emergency outta nowhere.

Hmmm 2019 is tricky

Main: The 1975/Twenty One Pilots (coheadline) // Stormzy // Circa Waves
NME: Brockhampton // The Amazons

Main: Kanye West // CHVRCHES // The Vaccines // Tyler The Creator
NME: Glass Animals // Cage The Elephant

Main: My Chemical Romance // A Day To Remember // Giggs // Architects
NME: Mura Masa // Charli XCX

 

Could probs swap 21P with Imagine Dragons or Catfish tbh. Feel like The Vaccines may be too low but after their placing at Community idk. Stormzy probs a slot too low too

[dentalplan]

There are so many bands there with a strong possibility of playing this year on the same stage as you predicted, no wonder it’s tricky.

Circa Waves won’t be improving on last year’s position - of that I am sure. Their stylistic shift for this second album from summery indie pop towards homogenised rock bores essentially set the countdown on their career.

The 1975 won't need to coheadline in 2019, although I do think 21P could be a potential coheadliner. Guess they could do the same as they did with Biffy/FoB where Biffy was essentially the headliner even though it was stylised as a coheadline.

Tbf I wouldn't have said QOTSA, Paramore, Foals or Biffy Clyro needed to co-headline. I think it's something more brought on by circumstance of having two bands willing to do it rather than trying to get an extra headliner in to prop up a weak one.

Say they already have The 1975, Green Day and Kanye West booked to headline, and then Twenty One Pilots are also available and The 1975 are willing to share the headline spot, I'm sure they'd book it.

Really? I thought that swap made them a lot more appealing to the reading population, could easily see them becoming a two door cinema club sized act. Summery and fun but nothing groundbreaking.

I dunno, I think Royal Blood are more likely to solo headline than 1975 are, they have a way wider appeal than 1975 do and are just more popular in general imo. I know 1975 are big, but I would say that coheadline is similar to (or tbh even weaker than) the Paramore/QOTSA one in 2014

Isn't that the point? That's where they were looking like heading until the stylistic change on their second album?

And do Royal Blood have a way wider appeal than The 1975?

I could see The 1975 not being willing though. They played slightly lower slots last year at Glasto and Reading with their next spot in mind according to Neil so they obviously have a vision about it, and ceding a headline slot to some other band probably isn't in it.

Yeah but they moved away from the Two Door stuff and towards Catfish. Boring disposable rock, and they didn't seem to improve on it popularity-wise either.

Also The 1975 are way bigger and wide-appealing than you're giving them credit for. Royal Blood are big, no doubt, but The 1975 will be among the world's biggest bands when their next album hits.

edit: tbh Twenty One Pilots are in the same boat as them. They're gonna be absolutely massive. Those two bands could successfully headline a night each when their albums are out.

Were they looking like headlining? Damn I had always written them off like Slaves/Sherlocks/Cabbage etc. as just a phase lmao

I would say Royal Blood do, appeal with people who like heavier rock and alt rock, can keep the crowd hyped etc.

In my experience, 1975 are very marmite. People either love their style or think its way too poppy & downtempo. I guess it's more popular with the whole teenage girls, just out of GCSE demo that R&L likes targetting?
