he has dropped in popularity in recent years mainly cause he hasn't released an album and his project blaze of feather didn't go well

Yes but I think him being on the line immediately below the headliners might show he’d still demand a higher a slot?

to be honest he's like an act I wish I saw before he got popular 

[MIchael_scarn]

Don't think there's space for him unless they moved everyone from Deaf Havana onwards down a slot, which they won't do.

[Gucci Piggy]

Ben Howard wouldn't sub the NME ffs.

[dentalplan]

He won’t play at all.

What do people think the chances of Catfish and the Bottlemen playing are?

Nonexistent. No space left for them.

Do we think the 1Xtra stage will finish early on the Kendrick day like it did with Eminem last year (So Wretch 32 would finish at about 9:40 and then Kendrick start like 10 minutes later) or just finish normal time?

Could go either way I suppose. They closed it early for Kendrick last time and he only subbed, but I could see Wretch being a decent alternative to Kendrick as well and if they are bringing in more and more rappers then they're gonna have to start clashing a few dissimilar ones. Probably more likely that they avoid clashing AJ Tracey and Skepta.

do all headliners play at the same time?

Pretty much yeah. At Reading all stages finish at 11:30 except the main at 11:20. On the main headliners usually play an hour and a half or two hours and other stage headliners usually play 45 mins-1 hour (there are exceptions like Marshmello playing 30 mins last year) but yeah basically same time.

Coincidentally saw our boy @UndergroundSound today whilst riding a bus past his college that I didn't even know was his college and seeing some kid in a Creeper hoodie walk past.

eFests turning up in my day to day life now I've had enough.

Follow him on IG init. Didn't even realise he lived where I was ffs. Just saw Creeper hoodie and thought "That looks like the eFests kid". What are the chances, eh?

This made me think, considering the stage splits I would not understand why AJ would have a crowd of any form if he clashes with Skepta. One could argue that Skepta is essentially a straight upgrade, and fans of AJ will 100% be fans of Skepta. However, if there is one less headline slot on that day, that tent could get even more packed than it already inevitably will be

I agree that there really shouldn't be many at AJ while Skepta is on. For the most part, if you're a fan of AJ you're an even bigger fan of Skepta.

Well, like you say, the clash wouldn’t really steal from Skepta’s crowd but clear out AJ’s, so I hope they do put Tracey on a bit earlier so he gets a chance of a good crowd. Probably deserves one more than Skep does in 2018.

Welcome. Doesn’t look like they’ll be there this year for, well, the reasons you’ve stated and also they’re too big to fit in now really.

Not sure as to why they’re not touring Europe at all this summer but if I was to guess it’d be to do with their attempts to crack America and possibly to not overdo things here.

[HeyPorter]

I feel like Royal Blood are playing it very smart, not overexposing themselves in every field around unlike previously touted future headliners such as 2DCC and the Vaccines. Building anticipation up and focusing on being more established globally and setting themselves up instead of taking the easy dollar and playing everywhere over here which many up and coming bands find hard to resist.
