He’s being rumoured to headline the Other at Glasto, I reckon that’s probably where he’ll be .

My first ever Reading & Leeds! Fantastic weekend. 

 

My first thought when looking at this poster was 'why the fuck did I not see Slipknot', but then I just remembered Joey Jordison broke his ankle shortly before so they had to pull out. No one replaced them, everyone else was essentially just bumped up. As a huge Feeder fan I didn't actually mind too much. 

Mental, is this the year Alexisonfire played twice too ?

I believe that was the year after. 

 

My main memory from 2008 is a rumour going round the entire campsite that the band on the bill for the BBC Introducing stage called 'The FF'ers' were actually the Foo Fighters coming to do a secret mini set. Mass disappointment ensued when there really was just a band call The FF'ers and they were booed and bottled off stage. Hilarious at the time, but quite harsh really (though maybe a bit of a poor choice of band name). 

Wouldn't happen these days with things like smartphones and being easily able to look things up, but I suppose that would've been one of the last few years where word of mouth at the site is all you had!

Wouldn’t be too against it myself but suppose that means he would have to play Friday leeds Saturday cream and finish reading or other way around?? 

I don't really know who he is to be honest. Not something I'd listen to.

Could the delay in the announcement be due to the fact that MCR are playing. Does it say anywhere that the MK show is their only UK show this year ? Are R&L waiting until the MK show tickets have sold before announcing MCR ?

There's nothing official that its MCR's only UK this year, it was advertised on some leaked posters as 'Only UK headline show' wise choice of words IMO, could mean they're headlining a UK festival. I imagine after Friday (assuming it sells out) an announcement will come around then. Although their MK show is only a couple of days before Glasto.

I would love to see Editors back at the festival. Would be great in the R1 tent

That’s what I thought 

If it’s the case that they are then I’d expect an announcement Monday or Tuesday

The old days, that Sunday is mental... 3 Download festival headliners on the main stage alone right there.

The Saturday R1 is absolutely delightful btw, and outrageously eclectic.

Not true actually! BMTH were drafted in last minute and opened the stage, they got bottled too!

Mate, 08 through to 2011 was back to back fantastic line ups.

[Tom Connolly]

Calvin Harris on the Friday would be mint mate

Are the Offspring still around , are they a sub or a co or am I making them miles bigger than they actually are

[Jericode]

Nowhere close to that level at Reading in 2020 l. They're at Download anyway so probably not playing this.

Yeah that's overestimating them at R&L. 4th or 5th on Main or closing The Pit if they ever show up. The latter would be much better. Busy at Download this year so won't be here in 2020.

[heartsink]

Aerosmith? They are actually active this summer fits the left field for R&L demographic,

Playing Glastonbury I think, not that this rules them out

Yh fair enough, pit headliner would be alright tbh

ive said that, they’d be a good Sunday headliner

[Jericode]

Think being at Glasto probably counts them out but their tour dates go up to the end of July. Nothing after to rule them out, so just whether they want to come back a month later.

That said, they're only two UK dates are London and Manchester, so I suspect they're out just on that basis.

[Guest]

Aerosmith would never headline R&L nowadays.

UK Dance Festival Exclusive does suggest he will be playing other festivals just not dance ones. So yeah, fits the bill.

[gfa]

Surely he could do like Fusion or something though right or that new essex one maybe? I would like to see him at glasto though

Not that it’s a good thing, but Kings ofLeon getting booked the year before last was unexpected 

True, but they've headlined the festival before and are regular enough on the festival circuit in general. It was a surprise in the sense of how they weren't even rumoured but not in the sense of how much they're the sort of band R&L would book.

[BigBoyBridge]

Other Artists that are more realistic than Calvin Harris announced for Creamfields For dance tent and potentially R1 are Bicep and Pendulum, personally don't see Chainsmokers, Camelphat and Armin Vann Buuren making an appearance this year though
