2019 festival

[Stuielooie]

I can easily see 21p headlining Reading. Think its more likely being a co-headliner position.

[thewayiam]

Yeah co-headline looks likely but they could bump up themselves.

I reckon a 21 Pilots/BMTH coheadline could be on the cards. Would actually work well as a proper coheadline, each act closing a night, not just a glorified sub.

I'm starting to think the same. As much as Download should be pushing BMTH up to headliners, I think Download will go for the biggest bands available next year (e.g. Rammstein, Slipknot and Kiss), leaving BMTH for R&L. 

Bring Me The Horizon + Twenty One Pilots (co-headline)

Make of that what you will.

Perfect time to be announced as R&L headliners and come back for late summer festivals.

The large FOB shows in the UK were also March

Yup, minimum co-headliner. Wouldn't be surprised at them, BMTH and Drake. They could be a co-headliner but I don't see The 1975, BMTH or even Paramore now taking that.

Liam Gallagher (if his new album is out by then, he's easily in with a shout)/ Courteeners

Twenty One Pilots/Paramore (Co-headline)/ Blossoms or someone similar

Drake (headliner)/ Stormzy

I can't see him touring as late as August next, it'll be his 3rd years straight.

alt-J haven't grown since they subbed in 2015. I'd say Radio 1 headliner would be the best they'd get nowadays.

You think? Was just throwing them in there because of the whole remixed album and UK/EU tour coming soon. You're probably right thinking about it.

Relaxer flopped and I doubt this new remix album will boost them much, if at all. Doubt they'll be booked next year anyway, but I've been thinking they could be R1 headliners in a couple of years after a (proper) new studio album.

I reckon that's way too weak. People complained about this years headliners but Kendrick and KoL are bigger than all of them tbh.

[danz026]

Bit surprised no one is talking about Royal Blood for next year given that they were almost universally tipped to headline R+L in 2018. Do people think they'll be recording album 3 in 2019 rather than touring?

I mean, I can see Royal Blood recording but I can also see them recording instead. Depends on if they want to record or record I guess and we won't know for a while.

Yeah but on the flip side, its quite possible that they'll take a break from playing live to play live.

[The All Round Ball :|]

I would like to see RB on the main stage but coheadlining with some. Not too sure who but I really want Biffy to be at R&L 2019 so hopefully they will be. Mon the biff

What do people think about Biffy being at R&L 2019? 

[Jericode]

I'd rather they weren't, they did 2013 and 2016 and I think they're over-saturating themselves if they do 2019 when the only new release is an Unplugged album.

Royal Blood / Bring Me The Horizon co-headline (actually co-headlining)
Paramore subbed by Twenty One Pilots
Drake subbed by Stormzy (if he has a new album)

I'm not a fan of Drake at all but you can't deny he'd draw. Some combination like that would give a good spread, RB/BMTH for the rock crowd, Drake for the rap crowd, Paramore for the pop crowd. Tailor each day well enough and they'll sell that out no problem.

[The All Round Ball :|]

Honestly, I just want Foos to come back more than anything but its definitely not gonna happen next year. I feel 1975 will be a strong contender for a headliner. BMTH, Florence ATM, Drake as well but I don't think we will get any proper rumours going around until after 2018 fest is over ?

TBH FR would be stupid to have that lineup. They could easily get away with only having half those acts and getting some cheaper subs.

Plus I don't see R&L booking Paramore, considering it seems as though they are free this year and they didn't get them (and by next summer it will be the 3rd year touring After Laughter)
