But why?

Three headliners all touring the year before with no new material to showcase in 2016 is reductive. There's almost always a headliner who's releasing new material the year of the festival, and I just can't see Reading booking three bands who've already been on the trot on the festival market the year before.

But no 2014 headliner released new material in 2014. And I've said this before.

It's pure speculation but I think 2014 is relatively an anomaly.

They probably expected a new Blink album out by then, didn't Tom say all the way back December 2013 that new material was coming?

None of Blink 182, Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age or Paramore released new material in 2014.

Has anybody mention jake bugg? Seriously I thing there are some good indie bands that can headline festivals now and are about to for the first time such as alt J, kaiser chiefs, vaccines, Florence and foals. Plus catfish and everything everything in bit more of the future. But apart from royal blood I can not thing of any future heavy rock bands to headliners, which is not the rock bands fault it is the music industry as a whole.

But apart from royal blood I can not thing of any future heavy rock bands to headline a major festival for the 1st time, which is not the rock bands fault it is the music industry as a whole.
