I'm pretty sure the shows with Eat Your Own Ears have supports of 404 Guild

Are The Killers on a comeback? I'd agree with The Strokes, except they've not reaply got any bigger since 2011, and they only co-headlined then. I'd love them to play though.

Not sure if you can call it a comeback but they're in the studio recording a new album which you'd presume would be available before next years festival. I think if the album is taken to more than their last, they're in with a shout. I can envisage a R&L audience lapping up Mr. Brightside / Somebody Told Me / Smile Like You Mean It / When You Were Young / Human etc. Having said that I wouldn't be all that surprised to see them at BST either.

Ah cool. One I'm off to is Now Wave but I'll check them out nonetheless. Thanks.

I think they'd be great. I'm not really that much of a fan but I've heard they're really good live.

They're putting out a 10th anniversary reissue of Sam's Town and played a couple of shows commemorating it this past weekend but haven't announced any gigs beyond that

Green Day announced for BST, not sure how this affects chances of returning to R&L?

[leej7]

I would argue it's now unlikely for R&L, much more likely to play over the T in the Park weekend now rather than having to come all the way back for the end of August

It means they will 100 percent not be at Reading and Leeds

More likely to see NMH playing third.

The Killers - BMTH/YMA6 (co-headline) - Radiohead

You Me At Six nowhere near as big as BMTH. Would be farcical to see them co-headline alongside them. Although we did get Biffy and FOB...

Currently, yes. Assuming that YMAS are about to have as big a year with their new album as BMTH did on the release of Sempiternal and TTS then they could well be up there. It's not ridiculous considering people are also throwing Royal Blood in the mix to sub or even co-headline. It would sell tickets if both YMAS & BMTH were to be exclusive for UK events as YMAS have sold out the O2 (albeit with ATL) which is a similar situation to BMTH when they did Wembley Arena in 2014.

[Pop Punk Sucks]

The only thing I'd say about that is that the anticipation and hype around You Me At Six's new album has been almost non-existent. Fair play if it's a massive success for them - but not seen anywhere near the sort of levels of buzz that BMTH had around them on TTS. 

[JSmurphy]

Radiohead aren't gonna be there.

The 'intimate' tour they announced started the other day and they only sold out half the venues, with practically all shows reselling for under face value. I must have mentioned it half a dozen times so sorry for being repetitive about this but there's just no chance they're headlining and this is the signal of a band on the way down - it's pretty similar to what happened with BFMV on their last album actually.

I think they're a good shout for NME headliners but they certainly won't be headlining main, probably won't be subbing and would definitely place below Royal Blood in future events.

Bon Iver have released their new album. Possible sub?

Can't see Bon Iver at Reading personally 

[thelemon]

I don't think R+L is the right crowd for Bon Iver

[Pop Punk Sucks]

More chance of Bon Jovi getting booked than Bon Iver

[BeddingatReading]

Off the back of their new album, I'm thinking Bastille could sub? Not saying that they should, but they definitely could especially being 3rd down 2 years ago. Could even co-headline if R/L are short of options/going for the cheap option but I hope that doesn't happen. 

[TommyLittler]

My bets on potential headliners:

Greenday(New album they have to play Leeds)

Killers (resurfacing)

Kings of Leon (new music)

Kasabian

Guns n roses (my bets on them playing download or glastonbury though)

Possibly a co headline from bands such as royal blood and Kaiser Chiefs 

Bands which I think will definitely be there elsewhere:

Catfish and the bottlemen 

wombats

 

Bands which I'm hoping will play and I have a feeling deep down they may:

Stone roses

Blink182

Green Day are doing BST so won't be there. Blink are touring in July so won't be there.
