Maybe. It might just (hopefully) mean there's an act above that's not someone who their readership cares about, heavier rock band of sorts I guess. They did something like a couple of months ago when they mentioned everyone but Jimmy Eat World and The Amity Affliction or something.

According to someone who's seen the press release, liam is the biggest name there.

Tbf to them, Liam Gallagher (whose already said he'll do oasis songs) on a festival exclusive is quite a good booking

Not when it turns out to not be a festival exclusive which, if info somebody over on the Glasto forum has had is true, seems to be the case. I think how good of a booking it is will depend on how high they stick him on the lineup.

Personally I'd love to see him up against eminem on the NME, but that's just because I'm not that interested in eminem, I think 3rd/4th on main or NME sub is reasonable

His solo album isn't even out yet so it would be a bit of a gamble giving him a sub slot.

Wouldn't put it past them. Sub or NME headliner for me. Ego would not accept anything less.

He's playing much lower slots at the European festivals he's doing so surely they wouldn't be stupid enough to put him as sub

It's Noel who has the oversized ego. Liam probably would accept something lesser than sub, going by the slots at festivals, and venues, he played with Beady Eye.

2 minutes until disappointment. 

[the wonderwhy]

Liam subbing Muse. Err...

That's an awful lineup 

[VCK]

Blossoms 3rd? Mind you, I was also surprised to see Imagine Dragons, Foals, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Vaccines and The National booked for that slot.

Also surprised to see Liam subbing but I guess he's there on reputation.

Also, what's with the font for the lower stages? Looks like MS Paint.

Dreadful that. I'll stick with Victorious and a load of my money thanks.

Hate to say I told you so.

Anne-Marie is doubling up doing both Reading and V in the same year, so that's another sign that 'rule' isn't as important to them as it used to be  

[JSmurphy]

[theramm]

This year looks sparse. Pretty terrible announcement.

[JonSnow]

Handing out a sub headline spot to somebody who has released an impressive total of 0 albums?

Well that - was f*cking dreadful

[Andre91]

That is fucking woeful. 

[AdamJansson88]

Obviously wasted all the money on the headliners, should've just gone with muse, kasabian and then a conheadline of royal Blood and bring me then got some decent undercards 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Only two Main Stage acts I'd see across the whole weekend.. Muse day, in particular, is appalling 

[LazyDavid]

I love Muse and Architects but that whole day might go down as the worst line up day in history. It's SO weak. Definitely not going.

Best day for me would be the Friday but not enough to make me grab a ticket. Like the guy a few above, Victorious and Slam Dunk it is!

Six acts on the Pit / Lock Up I would go out of my way to see and I've seen three of them before and two of them are playing Slam Dunk. Absolutely dreadful.
