Underoath, Papa Roach and Hollywood is probably the worst set of headliners that The Pit and Lock Up have ever had.

This is true.

[ollieg99]

At least Imagine Dragons are more or less in the bin.

[JSmurphy]

It'll be Slaves' 6th set at Reading since 2013. Special Guests indeed.

I just can’t see courteeners subbing Kings of Leon, so do you reckon there’ll be a co-headline there? Possibly royal blood? 

No.

He's so ugly too I hate it. Was so angry when he got announced for Mad Cool.

He looks like if @Yellow_Fellow got big into hard drugs.

edit: just in case he kills me like last time, I'm definitely joking.

special guest radio 1 stage 

VERY special guest main stage...

Thoughts?

 

"Very special guest Post Malone" and "special guest Slaves" are Post Malone and Slaves. Obviously.

If it’s a very special guest with post malone, I reckon it’ll be whoever the biggest name on his new album will be

Well it's Post Malone so.

That's in reference to Slaves & Post Malone.

Dunno why this has been downvoted. How can someone read that poster and not see that they're references to Post Malone and Slaves ffs?

Interesting how they swapped which day The Wombats were on in the last announcement so the Sunday looked better when it turns out Merlyn's poster was right all along lol

Other interesting things:

- Post Malone as a special guest? Seems weird as well to see him in such big font in the last poster suddenly shoved down to a special guest slot

- Fickle Friends stuck on the R1 stage is annoying imo but thats just cause I'm a massive fanboi and was hoping theyd be promoted lol

- I thought Bad Sounds said they weren't playing this year? Plus they seem to be in a massive slot compared to how big they are imo

- Pendulum would have been dope but they clash with Kendirk (the only main stage headliner I wanted to see)

- Deaf Havana seem so weirdly over booked. I was predicting them mid NME lmao, defo not subbing that stage

- This I think is the first year they're putting Live acts on the Dance stage right? Will be interesting to see how that plays out for Fred V & Grafix (as I think Bicep is still minimal equipment but Fred V plays with a band)

- $uicideboy$ on the Pit.... The fuck?

- Kate Nash?!?!?!? Damn only just seen this but she would have been great (but again clashing with Kendrick and Pendulum)

- Pale Waves gonna get The Amazons' stupidly underbooked set from last year then

- Billy Talent again is great, if a bit weird

- Don Broco 4th down R1.... Wilkinson 5th down R1??? OK on Sunday I dunno why people would leave that tent atm that seems stupidly strong compared to normal.

- If you thought Sigrid and The Blaze getting big font but playing 3rd/4th down R1 was bad, Mr Eazi is at best 5th down Dance stage and I expect them to be lower lmao. Yo FR hit me up if you want someone who can sort out a poster that doesnt look like garabage

- Tom Grennan in that slot is weird considering IIRC he subbed that stage last year

Press release only states Underøath and Papa Roach as headliners for those stages, not Hollywood Undead, so they'll be added to the Sunday.

Three years in a row. They're never leaving. Possibly even still there right now.

Mate  WHY ARE BROCO NOT PLAYING MAIN STAGE. Insane. 

LMAO serves us right for predicting them 3rd/4th main or NME headliners aha

[Andre91]

3 of my posts got down voted in a row so I assume it was just someone who doesn't like me, not that they had issue with that post in particular .

[Gucci Piggy]

Think they've got Deaf Havana and Don Broco mixed up by accident cos they're the same band anyway.

Also jsut reread what I put before and this is my favourite typo of all time

[Steve1000]

Pendulum will have a pitiful crowd. 

[peruvianjoco]

Could the order and stuff still shift around a bit (i.e. they add another act between Deaf Havana and Pendulum or something like that). Like there may be acts not yet announced which are placed in between some of the acts on the poster which may make them seem now like they're higher up on the bill than they actually would be

Well that would push Don Broco even lower down that stage. I doubt there's many more acts to be added for big slots. The only thing I'd say might change is the order of some of the acts, as there's some questionable placings (Deaf Havana sub whilst Don Broco 4th being one of them).
