The XX posted at the end of last year that they had all been working on new music this year and made it sound as if they'll be doing their own separate things this year, would love for Jamie XX to headline the R1 against Liam, make it happen Melvin

I saw him in 2015 I went to see Years and Years and caught most of him and he was brilliant

Honestly, AM already ruled out and Skepta wont headline. Gerry Cinnamon could never sub, Blossoms wont come back from subbing a co to third down, Mura Masa wouldnt play Main surely, 2DCC wont take a step back, The Amazons prolly aint big enough and the Vaccines are on the flipping Festival Republic

well according to most people in this forum they arent touring this year and wont be playing any festivals, i feel like its pretty unlikely. Wait for the next album i think. Tranquility stuff wouldnt go down very well either i dont think

Maybe - Four out of Five was good live but the rest of it didn't go down so well, though I can only vouch from what I saw at Mad Cool Festival. I thought they sounded nice live but perhaps not as big-time live and punchy in the company of bona fide live rockets from the other 5 albums.

6 years since their last R&L headline slot would've been in line tbf, but if the buzz is that new music is still gonna be in long term development, its not meant to be for this one.

[CG31]

Do we actually need to have a rap headliner. Surely if Skepta subs and Slowthai play mainstage, with Brockhampton and or J Hus headlining R1, then the lack of one would be accepted. If we dont get one i could see

Biffy/BMTH, LG, The Strokes

or

Foals/BMTH, LG, Biffy/Blink

or 

The Strokes, LG, MCR with BMTH subbing

Exactly, idk if theyll change their style back again for the next album, but i feel like most would want AM stuff and a few bits before. 

But yh i feel like the next couple of years is prolly a better shout than this year

I remember when we had to wait until March/April for the first line-up announcement. You kids have it easy these days!  

Ahh the days of both F5ing the ticket page to death and trying to look through the lineup simultaneously as they both got released at exactly the same time.

I presume they're going to do something a bit less predictable tbf - they've rarely made the music people expect of them since the opening 2 albums (although granted Humbug and AM were telegraphed in advance).

But yeah - maybe for 2021. I like to think we might get some word on some new material later in the year, maybe towards the end of it.

 

[R Shah]

AM will be rumoured every year and ngl with them we just have absolutely no way of knowing when they'll be back again. 

Would be a lovely surprise to see them headline the Sunday but can't see it personally. They absolutely have to headline R+L by 2022 latest though I feel, they're such a perfect booking for so many reasons. 

[JSmurphy]

@So Sad Simon Has relayed info in the Sziget thread that Red Hot Chili Peppers and Travis Scott are playing there. R&L might involve Bring Me The Horizon or Biffy Clyro too, but hard to look past those first two and Liam Gallagher as this year's headliners.

Wasn’t that before the info last night that RHCP have now announced all their 2020 dates?

we discounted this source on the thread - they also said Selena Gomez was headlining...

EDIT:

2dcc new album in 2020 according to their subreddit - could maybe see them coming back in 2021 to co-head if its going to be big and skip 2020 although I reckon they are still on to sub 2020. Announced at the berlin show (last night/recently)

extra info

Wouldn’t lie I would love to see Vampire Weekend, The Big Moon, King Krule, Goat Girl, Cage the elephant and Kaleo at Reading this year plus maybe the rap head has been moved to Friday this year due to he/she being smaller than previous rap headliners such as Kendrick, Eminem and post would expect someone like A$ap or Travis in this slot perhaps they would co-head with the likes of Biffy Clyro could see that being a nice Friday headline 

Biffy Clyro / Travis Scott 

Liam Gallagher 

Blur (dunno why I’m saying this again have absolutely no clue) 

 

personally would love to see an upcoming indie band such  as Bombay or VW take a headline slot but maybe there to small

I think someone like Blur would play as a surprise no one expects

But I think VW could co at a push

I remember when I said blur a while back as a joke. Would be great if they did though

[jj200]

Friday: Travis Scott/bmth

Saturday: Liam Gallagher

Sunday: the killers

With haim, the courteeners and two door cinema club subbing

Radio 1 stage

Friday: vampire weekend

Saturday: Skepta

Sunday: fatboy slim

[TKOCF]

I think we’re in for another 2018.
 

Everyone’s predicting RHCP and Travis with a sense of certainty like we predicted AM and Foos that’s year, and got slapped in the face with KoL and Fall Out Boy.
