It will obviously stop if its not profitable. You can really see its doing badly, Tramlines have sold 2/3 of tickets already and there are tons of day festivals happenning up there this year like Courteeners, Blossoms and Sounds of the City. New competition from Y Not growing majorly + Tramlines growth along with less people coming down from Newcastle due to this is Tomorrow + brexit etc too. The lineups are generally very southern focused especially this year, none of the headliners are particularly North specific, whereas 1975 are pretty Southern along with Post and 21p to a lesser extent. Reading also hasn't had much competition from festivals down South growing except like APE, but thats a completely different audience and Community which is only a day festival and its like 2 months earlier.

Also V fest has gone now which has been a nice boost to Readings figure (and leeds too i guess equally)

So 2 American acts and a band that are literally from the North are “pretty Southern”? 

This is fucking mental.

Decent lineup for my most local festival in my opinion. Getting a lot of hate on Twitter, looks good with what else has been announced.

Foals doing a few smaller fests to prep for Leeds following 2 new albums in 2020?

I just want IDLES at R&L but it looks unlikely sadly

Elbow see a strange headliner when it is more of a younger crowd that Kendal, would of suited more to that crowd.

fair point

surely with Foals only headlining festivals that TDCC and Wolf Alice are headlining that rules them out for 2020 by themselves, a co headline would be cool though

I thought this, but im not sure they would want to co-headline again surely? Hopefully if they do it's with someone slightly better than Disclosure...

2 new albums might push them up though.

Co head with catfish next year?

i feel like they’re too similar as bands to co headline, they might do it with a rapper/DJ, maybe Travis Scott, even possibly Boy Better Know. But if Stormzy headline it’d be strange to see 2/4 headliners as rappers

Would love to see Dermot Kennedy make an appearance.

Denzel Curry in the Netherlands week before RnL, making him more likely to play if anyone's interested.

Edit: just realised its a festival and there's quite a few playing from it already.

Over the past few years we've come to realise that means very little.

True, but idk why they would have messed up Rockys booking but billed Cardi and Migos correctly. It would make a lot of sense as a booking tho

Fair enough 

Can’t hear the similarity myself but we all hear different things when listening to music.

I haven’t heard it but using my amazing powers of gut instinct, I would say you are right.
