2019 festival

[TheWaters]

The Streets would go down amazingly with everyone I know who goes to Reading (16-22) they’re still very very relevant with the indie crowds and the garage lot too.

but again, as I’ve mentioned before, most people I know going are from in and around Birmingham, skinner is regarded as a god with teens around here.

I think they're a bad fit for the current R&L demographic. They're riding a wave of nostalgia from audiences a decade or so older than the average R&L goer. Disastrous booking in N.E.R.D. last year and this would be similar. 

If Biffy Clyro have an album out around then, that's them nailed on I think.

nobody listened to n*e*r*d, i'm 17 i had never heard of them till they got announced and none of my friends had i'm pretty sure. This would be a secret anyway so it wouldn't be a main stage flop. The Streets also sold out brixton like 7 times or something crazy? I don't like the streets but they would work miles better than n*e*r*d did. Maybe a bit underwhelming for the big secret set though I think.

Florence maybe? Seems like Biffy or Kasabian may be good picks for bands not active right now although they might be a bit overkill? Extra option - strokes maybe the week before electric picnic in Ireland although secret sets aren't really their thing. Are we being naive thinking that its not going to be a modern rapper though?

I keep on editing but Libertines to break their UK exclusive at coombe, definitely could happen or maybe Blink-182, seem to be doing kind of odd dates but only in America so far.

Was at Live At Leeds fest yesterday. Saw Sea Girls and they were easily the stand out, really good live performance who drew a huge crowd. Bloxx were awesome also. Also saw Easy Life and surprised they haven’t been booked tbh.

Catfish and/or Biffy for the secret set(s). 

[gfa]

I was having a second though, i'm a massive fan so maybe i'm just being overly optimistic but maybe Glass Animals for a secret set since it was the festival they went to and they live fairly nearby too if they are ready to be back this year for a one-off (well leeds as well but basically one-off) thing before they get going on touring/album again

[thelemon]

The Streets would be a good booking, I'm 21 so in the main age range (which I think is like 16-22) and I know loads of people who are buzzing to see that set at Parklife

I feel like they wouldn't be the main secret set, though, think a lot of people would find that a bit of an underwhelming booking because I'm not sure how popular they are with just a casual crowd, even though they do have a big fanbase. I'd love to see them live though, they're on the bucket list for sure

[baggie92]

Glass Animals have a 0% chance of appearing after the drummers accident last year, there's been nothing to say they will be active again soon.

Yeah for sure, probably not the main booking but if they were one I think the big one could be a weaker act. If they had them as an exclusive its something they would just want to announce though to be honest as they haven't played in the UK for two years then (except APE but like that wouldn't of attracted many of the Reading fans - regrets!) I don't think their fanbase is particularly big they played NME second down - but the atmopshere would be electric

[MIchael_scarn]

I'd like a Schoolboy Q secret set if it was a rapper, even though CrasH Talk was very underwhelming.

Love The Streets on the Friday probably slotting in before The Wombats that'll be so nice 

[Jericode]

It won't happen. If we get anything on Friday it'll be earlier in the day.

[VCK]

Slot The Streets in between ADTR and Foos.

The most underwhelming sub of all time. And I was there the last time they played Readinfg

are green day about for secret set?

Highly unlikely for numerous reasons. No upcoming tour dates, no new music (that I’m aware of) and way way way to big for a secret at RL

Just another reason why they wouldn’t do it again
