Did anyone get a chance to watch rob kellas’ reaction video? Looks like he messed up and revealed more than he should

Do you know what the artists are he accidentally announced

I got a bit disillusioned with Reading/Leeds after last year's lineup but they have me back with this one. I like all the headliners and subs which is always a great start and then there is some good acts down the line up as well. Top 4 on Sunday (at Reading) couldn't be much better, great way to finish the festival. The Story So Far, the Amazons and Enter Shikari (possibly, not really clear) also on that day as well.

Mad, saw that on Twitter. Whilst I’m disappointed by the lack of hip hop at the moment the line up as a whole is cracking, can’t wait to be back

the thing is though you’re never gonna be able to please everyone no matter how good a lineup

Much better than the past few years and the line up isn’t even finished yet, people seem to just want something to hate 

[KingPin]

It's better than 2017 too imo, and arguably better than 16.

[pepesilvia]

currently desperately clinging to the fact that @festivalsaregood said bombay bicycle club mightn't be in this announcement

[jonnyisRFC]

Happy with Foo Fighters, ADTR, Bowling for Soup, Frank Carter, Distillers, Amazons and The Story So Far. All of them are playing the Sunday apart from Bowling for Soup! 

 

Who does eveyone think the friday NME headliner will be? Personally hoping for Frank Turner. 

 

Hoping when they announce the lock up/pit there will be a lot more because at the moment it looks like a Sunday ticket for me.

Exactly, the headliners are the best in years and its got a strong undercard, I thought people would have been happy with Royal Blood but I’m mostly just seeing people complaining “wheres catfish”

[Samjones]

Anyone updated clash finder?

Yeah I’m holding out on hope for that, dying for BBC to be there. Where would they slot in though?

I don’t think they’d clash them with 1975 and thatd be a very hard decision for me to make between seeing them 2. Hopefully yeah they’ll be able to slot in on main somewhere

Don't think Turner will play, he's odds on for 2000trees headliner in the announcement next week.

[JSmurphy]

I think Enter Shikari will be 3rd down.

If they're headlining the pit I'm thinking they might be more likely 4th or even opening the stage, might be wrong though. 

[Aech]

Only act I want to see on Saturday is Post but even then its the best Reading lineup in years.

[Jericode]

Saturday needs work for me, but Pit and FR still to go so plenty hopeful.

[Properbigfan]

The Friday is almost as good as the legendary run in 2016

[callum97]

Got my Sunday Ticket, Friday is also good but mostly bands that i've seen and not bothered about seeing again. Saturday is poor for me but overall probs one of the best line ups in a few years!

Worried that Shikari will clash with foos though. but if they are on the mainstage too can we see it being:

Foos/ADTR/EnterShikari/FCATR?

then shikari headlining pit with common dreads?

[Andre91]

Shikari opening Main with a normal set and then headlining The Pit playing Common Dreads in full would be incredible and is totally what I'm expecting to happen. 

I love this lineup. For me it is the best since 2015 (incidentally the last time I really enjoyed doing the whole weekend).

choosing between Foo Fighters and Common dreads in full will be the toughest decision of my life ?

It's a good line up, the sunday has to be the best day lineup since god knows?
