Didn’t Post completely sell out his £80 Arena tour? I’m honestly surprised Sunday sold out quicker than Saturday.

Are you? Foos completely sell out their £80 stadium tours.

I don’t know, I just feel like Post appeals to the R&L crowd moreso nowadays. Out of my pretty big group of mates going, I’m the only one planning on seeing the Foos as everyone else is more excited for Post Malone, Crucast and Bastille. Happy to have been proved wrong tho.

Don't forget that the foos day is very hard music so will get fans who might not normally come to R/L

Will definitely be another Brockhampton situation, probably worse (and that wasn’t nice being in the front middle). Especially as it looks like she’ll clash with the end of TØP, SASASAS, Of Mice & Men and Octavian according to the clashfinder. Everyone will be at Eillish. Will be avoiding that crowd as best I can.

I agree but people buying day tickets are probably mainly going for one main act, and on Sunday that will be Foos.

EDIT: What I mean is people buying day tickets are probably not the stereotypical R&L audience and are mostly treating it like a gig.

I’m well excited for it haha don’t even rate her music that much I just find a rammed tent so exciting

Is anyone else surprised at the lack of IDLES on the line up considering they are pretty much everywhere else?

They'll probably be booked next year in a prominent slot as an exclusive.

Can’t fucking wait for Billie. Only thing that stops that day being a complete write off.

Machine Gun Kelly has a tour starting the 26th of August, likely addition?

Pup album is so sick. Can’t fucking wait, hope they get a good crowd.

Could do without them clashing with Royal Blood.

Saying that, if they were playing on the other days they would likely be clashing with 21 Pilots or ADTR so either day won’t make much impact to their crowd size.

Their upcoming tour has more or less sold out and they’ll be playing much bigger venues soon so I reckon they’ll get a good crowd.

I do think it would have made more sense to swap them with that Paris c**t playing the other day on the Pit so they’re up against Twenty One Pilots. 

Honestly, I don’t know what Dan Carter is thinking. It’s gonna end up that Pup, Fidlar, Basement, TSSF will have their crowds ruined by clashing with Foo’s, Royal Blood, ADTR, Shikari etc, but then the day with no pretty much no rock bands on the main stages they’ve filled the Pit with soundcloud rappers, who’ll probably lose a big portion of their own crowd being up against rappers on the other stages. I don’t even have beef with Ghostemane headlining cause his album is essentially a hardcore record, but with Paris, Smokeasac and Teddy, come on Dan mate. What are you doing?

Yeah, the two Pit days definitely seem backwards at the moment. Hopefully they've got another half dozen on each day to balance it out, would only take a few prominent names to give it a boost.

Idles literally anywhere on that Saturday saves the day for me. I've been liking the Barns Courtney album recently so hoping he gets added somehwere too.

[Traher666]

The Pup record is so great, can't wait to see them next week, seems like I was very lucky to get tickets. 

I am sure they will have a plenty big enough crowd, they had quite a lot of people watch them when they played in 2014, as I remember it thinning out for Masked Intruder.

[NerdsNatterings]

Saw The Hunna last night, really improved and the new stuff sounds great. Still one of the best live sets I've seen. Retro Video Club also really good and would be great somewhere on the lineup. Barns Courtney was one of the biggest dick heads I've ever seen on a stage ??

Not 100% clued up on Live at Leeds festival, will be my first time going this year, however I see that they have a stage that is supposedly sponsored by Leeds Fest. Doubt it obviously means that they’re all certs to be booked, apart from Sundara Karma who already are, but would be good to see Sam Fender or even Sherlocks somewhere on the 1975 day.

Can see Sam Fender or Sherlock’s doing a secret set on the Introducing/FR stage

Yeah, 100% agree.

The worst part is that the tent will be empty due to the reasons you’ve stated (alongside the fact that the Pit/ Lock up was announced last) and everyone will see this as proof that rock is dead and they don’t need the Lockup/Pit

Yeah it's class, don't have tickets for their tour but they're doing two shows/album signings the week of R&L in Nottingham and Bristol at Rough Trade so probably gonna go to Nottingham date. Always good fun live.
