The album won’t make them any bigger, surely?

I was thinking about it last week when arguing about Blossoms’ placing, that if you take away the Manchester dates then it’s about as big a tour as Slaves (who are obviously subbing NME) would do. Now it’s confirmed just about the same except Slaves are doing Ally Pally. Might sell like shit for all I know but the fact that it’s perceivably close goes to show what an awful booking it was to have Blossoms third down.

I know it's maybe not their crowd as much as R&L but how did Slaves go from opening the Other stage last year to now being deemed big enough for Ally Pally and subbing NME?

Opening Other was like a special slot thing. They would have normally been a fair bit bigger - around middle of that stage.

The Streets defo back on the festival circuit next summer.

“I’m gonna be at the festivals next year, don’t worry…doing The Streets and shit.”

[Cammers]

Two Door are certainly not big enough to headline, or co-headline imo. They were headlining fests like Y-NOT and Boardmasters last year, just to put it in perspective.

Realistically they could pull off sitting under a big headliner or headlining NME at most, surely?!

I'm still pretty torn on what next year is going to look like.. 

   Fri                         Sat                                 Sun
 1975          Stormzy & 21 Pilots        Arctic Monkeys
Catfish            Enter Shikari                    Two Door

Or....

      Fri                             Sat                                      Sun
 Paramore         Royal Blood & 21 Pilots        Foo Fighters
  Stormzy                   Enter Shikari                      Two Door

Glastonbury and Reading I'd say are a guarantee 

[AG19972017]

will there ever be any chance of the likes of bands like Aerosmith, def leppard, kiss etc.

Stormzy is surely bigger than Royal Blood to R&L's demographic, none of my friends listen to Royal Blood at all (none really listen to Stormzy either but plenty of people in my school do) I think the top one is way too indie also.

I don't get why The Streets at Reading in 2018 would be a guarantee.

He’s on about 2019. But Mike Skinner is actually playing Leeds this year.

Oh yeah I meant 2019, my bad. I just don't get why The Streets at R&L would be a guarantee these days. It's not like they're a perfect fit for it.

I think they're a decent enough fit. They do seem to have carried over to following generations; @TheWaters is about as old as Original Pirate Material and I think he went to see them this year and is seeing them next year as well. They'd suit subbing an act who has been around a while.

They're not a guarantee but it's Gazza speaking; he's very confident in his predictions.

[Andre91]

The Streets subbing Arctic Monkeys if they’re not at Glasto would be an excellent booking.

I'm not sure if it matters of they are at Glasto, they can play both.

I was talking about Monkeys. AM won’t play R&L and Glasto.

Bang on with that lmao, OPM came out the year I was born. All my mates that go to Reading and gigs and stuff are all around 16-21 and most if not all are massive fans of The Streets. It's definitely carried over as have The Streets in general.Didn't manage a ticket to the shows this year but almost everyone that I'm going to Reading with (about 20 people) went to see them. They're massive with people my age now, even more so after the return. When the album is out they'd be a great booking as a sub next year. Under AM would be perfect.

[TheWaters]

R&L have published the survey to see who people want for next year.

Also notable they don't consider Stormzy, Paramore, Foals, Disclosure, Royal Blood or Gorillaz headliner options as they're all in the category of other acts you'd like to see.

 

Here are the headline options I guess they're considering, certainly some odd choices.

1. Twenty One Pilots     
2. Thirty Seconds To Mars
3. The 1975
4. Eminem
5. Arctic Monkeys
6. Daft Punk
7. Green Day
8. Red Hot Chilli Peppers
9. My Chemical Romance
10. Bring Me The Horizon
11. Radiohead
12. Kanye West
13. Slipknot
14. Muse
15. Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg
16. Drake
17. Florence + The Machine
18. The Weeknd
19. Tool
20. Pearl Jam
21. Foo Fighters
22. Blur
23. Imagine Dragons
24. Blink 182
25. Queens Of The Stoneage
26. Childish Gambino
27. The Prodigy
28. Iron Maiden
29. The Killers
30. Rage Against The Machine
31. Depeche Mode
32. Rihanna

Obviously all these acts are headliners at this point in time but perhaps they're not as viable options as the ones listed under the headliner options. It is bizarre however that the list includes: The Prodigy, 30stm, Blink182 over these so I'm not sure at all the thinking behind it.

Additionally, this is who I'd say would be the best choice of headliners with the ones i disagree with being crossed out and the ones in bold being the better ideas.

[TheWaters]

My headline choices were Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead, Kanye, Blur and CG.

Lil Uzi Vert, Run The Jewels, Gorillaz, A$AP Rocky and The Streets for others.

It's not really a shock, Paramore are the only one I think that would be given a slot, Gorillaz I'd not think have a chance.

Also not shocked to see Catfish in there. I think it'll be a mix of Drake, TOP, BMTH, Catfish and I'll go Florence.

[jj200]

For my headliners I picked for next year are the 1975, the killers, artic monkeys, thirty seconds to Mars and imagine dragons.  For other acts I picked are Bastille,foals, disclosure, churches and the xx

Mate, don’t think about it too much. It’s pretty much the same survey they sent out last year. Means fuck all really.

Would love to see them back but yeah

Interesting how Martin Garrix isn't considered a headliner but Daft Punk is which is a pretty direct comparison hes one of, if not the biggest EDM act at the moment. Probably off to Creamfields anyway
