Any ideas about what day this week the announcement is? I’m very excited. Need to know I’ll be seeing foo’s this year.

So if it is Wednesday morning, we should get some sort of announcement tomorrow saying that? Would make sense.

They announced that "next week" we will have an announcement and that was last Wednesday.

 

Next week is at most 7 days away. They wouldn't announce it as next week and then give the announcement 10 days later on the Friday.

I'm expecting the announcement on Wednesday at latest, as tickets will go back on sale on Friday.

I do really like Foo Fighters, but my word they do drag out their setlists. How long do you think their setlist will be? Last time I saw them it was 2.5 hours! 

Would be rude not to see them when they are a stones throw from where you live though. 

That's the issue...they could play 23 songs minimum but they choose to play 18 only in a 2hr set that has 4 songs with 5 minutes extra singalongs in

Any idea on which out of Foo's and The 1975 will be announced first?

Due to the announcement of the Foos Europe Tour 2019 thing, I feel they are going to be announced first. Just lines up with that Foos announcement. Makes sense really.

I'm guessing it's going to be the foos, based on the other stuff which has been announced today.

Foos announced first as 1975 are still selling tour tickets.

We will get 3 rock/pop headliners and so a heavily stacked R&B undercard i think.

 

Chance the Rapper, Craig David, Dave, Pusha T, A$AP Rocky, Tyler Creator (if his band is up), Dizzee Rascal, BBK etc, 5 of those 8 will make up the top 5 per day, i reckon

I believe they played 5 songs in 45 minutes  last time I saw them. And the overall setlist averaged 9 minutes a song. But I do enjoy stage presence, just turn it down a notch Dave mate. Especially if they are limited to 2 hours. 

[VCK]

I'm really surprised BMTH are looking to not be there next year. Especially as they haven't been booked to headline Download.

[Chad888]

First announcement prediction:

 

Foos Fighters

Chance the Rapper

Rat Boy

Catfish and the Bottlemen

Kaiser Chiefs

Khalid

Jorga Smith

Halsey

Dizzee Rasca

The 2012 set the Foo’s did is probably the best I’ve seen them.

 

They bored me to tears at Glastonbury, wandered off in the end.

Let's hope that if they are back at Reading that they pull something off like that again then haha. Didn't get a chance at Glasto so canny judge.

The Leeds setlist was slightly different to that from what I can remember, Reading got the better set that year in my opinion. Great gigs non the less.

Catfish would sub, Imagine Dragons should fuck off

I think people over estimate where bands actually place on the set list. If you look at the headliners and subs and 3rd down every year they do all have pedigree. They aren't like a good HL and then some relative newbie up to 2nd down. 

 

I can see it being along the lines of...

Fri: 1975 // Imagine Dragons // Chance the Rapper

Sat: Drake // 21 Pilots // Catfish and the Bottlemen

Sun: Foo Fighters // Tame Impala // The Streets

 

 

Like Imagine Dragons and 21 Pilots keep getting spoken about as headliner levels but they don't sell albums well, they have 1 or 2 actual hit songs and then 4 or 5 filler generic tunes. They are no higher then Bastille and Travis Scott in previous years. Courteeners, Liam Gallagher, Alt-J etc all the same level of pedigree that they are. 

 

Vampire Weekend subbed in 2014 and Imagine Dragons are about as out there as they were at that time.
