I’d argue the same could be said for Post Malone this year, yet he was still a co-headliner.

Kendrick also. Think it's more about their typical sets and preferences. Travis Scott seems to typically do 60-75 minute headline slots and if he's happy to accept that then why not book another act to "headline" with him? I assume that was the case for Kendrick and possibly Postie too.

Blink are touring Europe in 2020, just no dates yet! 

Yeah i seen an interview with Blink for Radio X and they were on Good Morning Britain literally only a month ago stating they are 100% coming to the UK next Summer. Any ideas why there are still no dates at this stage? My hunch is it surely means they are playing Reading hence the delay

And it's getting late to announce a festival show....there is only one they could do in England really. They could announce their own tour next year but clearly are not doing early summer fests and it's been 6 years since Reading.

Not at the time he was booked which was likely not long after the year he played low down and they looked at the reaction.

I do worry that all of the love I have remaining for blink would crash and burn seeing them headline Reading again in their current state.

I’d feel like I’d of lost my teen years watching Skiba perform EoS in its entirety

Would be pretty happy with this - thought he was ruled though for some reason as nobody is putting him on lineups?

It's because he has a arena tour the week after reading with multiple shows in London and Leeds

[mttJ]

Pretty cool way to make yourself a rumour though. Has the festival ever been mentioned in another song before?

True but given Liam Gallagher's touring schedule last month/next Summer it may be unfair to rule Stormzy out in all honesty.

Chances of Kaytranada playing? Mid Radio 1 maybe? New album out today (it bangs)

Blink said in a radio interview that they're back over here in June, so it won't be them

Download and Isle of Wight have already announced their headliners and the only other big festival in June I could think of is Glasto which I don't think is that likely. I could see them do a day fest like All Points East or British Summer Time but they are the wrong month.

I don't think it's a festival. They did an arena tour in June a few years back and sold well. I predict the same again.

[R Shah]

Thoughts on no rap headliner this year and a trio of the following?  

BMTH / Liam Gallagher / Arctic Monkeys

I'm assuming if they were doing their own shows they would just announced it but who knows.

Doubt they don't have a rap headliner. AM can get binned too. Mon the Biff.

Yeah really great album, even better than the last. Would be sick seeing him high up R1 or headlining the dance tent against LG.

[Trnsmt12311]

Stormzy new album came out today and this is his lyrics on big Micheal, fucking hope not

June/July 2017, if I recall. Went to the very last show of that tour at London O2. Was better than I expected it to be given I'm aware there's that much negative press about Matt Skiba replacing DeLonge, and IMO its not as good in recordings of live shows.

I don't see it, you would expect much more tickets sold on that tour already than have been and I really cannot see the sales needed on top of that for R&L. The tour is ambitious enough as it is. He might be from Manchester but Liam has sold out LLLC and Heaton Park in minutes now though I imagine his being from there is the only reason R&L accepted him doing both.

Yeah I'd agree, if Skiba is still there instead of Tom that's their best chance of selling. I fancy seeing them again but right now it's not really Blink 182...it's Hoppus with a backup singer and band.

[CG31]

LG on Saturday is still confusing me. Thats usually the rap co headline day, and there's no obvious co - headline slot.

[CG31]

I'm dreading Travis Scott closing Reading if that's what happens
