I mean, 30STM could coheadline at this point tbh. Wolf Alice and J Hus definitely fit their slots, and while Courteeners and Hunna are weak bookings they fit similar slots as Liam Gallagher and Blossoms last year (who were also weak bookings).

Considering this was last years:

[ToffeePopcorn]

Doing a stupid unrealistic one:

Gorillaz / Royal Blood // Travis Scott // Nothing but Thieves // Don Broco // 

Pendulum // Milky Chance  // 

 

Kendick Lamar // 30STM // OFWGKTA // Killswitch Engage // 

Courteeners // Wolf Alice // 

 

Foo Fighters // Pixies // Weezer // Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes //

Post Malone // The Hunna //

Gorillaz and Post Malone are exclusives at other festivals and Tyler is still banned from UK so doubt odd future would perform without him.  Also doubt courteeners would not be on the main stage and wolf alice is too low imo. Also milky chance were there last year, doubt they'd return

I don't think they would headline either they aren't big enough anymore there fan base is all that's really it and that's small, I think there a great band but they had there peak a few years ago

While it may be true that they were bigger a few years ago, the festival aren't going to demote them to sub. If they're not big enough to (co)headline anymore then they won't be booked at all.

I'd say they're definitely big enough to coheadline still, but I don't think they're gonna be there this year. Can't see past a Royal Blood / Imagine Dragons coheadline at this point.

What information switched the opinion it was Paramore to Imagine Dragons. Shame. Really don't want ID, hopefully a strong act on the NME...

Imagine Dragons are touring Europe in August. Paramore aren't.

It's not definitive however; doesn't seem like Imagine Dragons are doing all the festivals around that time, and Paramore of course didn't play other European fests last time they headlined or any of the times they played before.

On top of what Dental said, Imagine Dragons are an act that R&L have pushed up the lineup over the years and the next logical step seems to be coheadline - very similar to what they did with Paramore previously. Even though Paramore would be the better headliner, they're popularity has stagnated a bit since their last headline where as Imagine Dragons have probably got bigger since 2016, so it would look more fresh.

I think Imagine Dragons have stagnated too, really. I agree that they're a band that they've been guiding up the line up for some time so wouldn't be surprised to see them in a coheadlining berth now they have a few more songs and aren't as new, but i don't think they've attracted many new fans since their early career and they've not grown into a position where subbing would be beneath them.

I had predicted them to coheadline with Royal Blood when that FM4 Frequency lineup came out but sorta just thinking it'll be Royal Blood on their own now.

This is the most realistic looking prediction I've seen. Of course it could be completely different, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's something like this.

Architects into Broco 

[Steve1000]

The Architects thing is the exact type of thing that doesn't happen. Why would it? Like when Jordan Fish liked the Download announcement and when Melvin or whoever followed Slipknot.

I'd very, very happily be proven wrong btw.
