Slam Dunk announcement! While She Sleeps! Does this make them more likely or less likely for Reading? Any others on that lineup might make it over too?

Sum 41 main stage, could see them pit headliner maybe 

Don BROCO R1 headliner 

[Bixer]

Bedouin Soundclash...that's a name I've not heard in a very long time

[Pottsy2913]

That Slam Dunk lineup is hands down the best festival lineup this year by a mile, fingers crossed that Reading + Leeds comes anywhere close to that.

If any of the big acts play R&L they won’t usually be announced until after/around slam dunk time to do with the contracts they sign and sell more slam dunk tickets. Personally can’t see SUM 41 coming back after early summer shows. Don Broco and WSS both possible as they’re bother British.

Can see State Champs appearing on the bill to be honest, but I can't see Sum 41, Don Broco, Billy Talent or The Used appearing this year, cool as that would be.

Don broco are a slam dunk festival exclusive and can't see sum 41 in the pit or playing at all really . This and reading didn't share any significant acts at all last year .

Pure speculation here. Pulling together loads of bits of info.

Lots going around that MCR restructured all their plans for this coming summer and pulled out of a lot of festivals. Coachella, Mad Cool, Rock Werchter etc in favour of doing their own solo headlining shows.

R&L’s lineup has been heavily delayed this year. Mad Cool are taking forever to announce their final headliner. Wonder if all of this is somewhat connected.

Sounds daft. What if R&L did try for MCR and didn’t get them. Would be the same fate that supposedly many other festivals have gone through.

[Matt42]

Even more tin foil.

Liam Gallagher headlining both Lattitude and R&L in the same year can’t be intentional. Maybe Liam was drafted in to replace the slot left vacant for MCR?

Got to be all connected, rumours there's a falling out with Live nation regarding RATM & Coachella.

I reckon he completely botched the whole announcement tbh. We all know what he's like on twitter, i take everything he posts with a pinch of salt. I'd love to know how R&L reacted to that aha.

Hmm I think it’s weird that he’s at both events. It can’t of been intentional to do that unless it was a last minute thing.

I think Liam is a replacement for someone at R&L. Yes he is a replacement that will sell tickets but him being booked for both Lattitude and reading can’t be the original idea.

He must of been a very early replacement then? He announced it around November. I wonder if he was told about the situation and he assumed the line up had been announced if he was the last headliner in.

Reading does typically sort it’s headliners out pretty early though. Usually we get announcements in October / November?

What if he got the news from his manager that day and tweeted about it. Could of let the cat out of the bag immediately after signing the dotted line... knowing him 😂

Take this with the pinchiest pinch of salt, but Sum 41 headlined download’s secondary stage a few years back when I saw them, and it’s not like they’ve gotten any bigger in the last 3 years, could definitely see them billed but not necessarily on the main stage

Sum 41 havent done a proper UK tour for new album yet so I assume they'll announce that the Monday after Slam Dunk, they wont be at R+L.

Bury Tomorrow headlining the Pit, WSS on main stage methinks.

I'd take those two! Bury Tomorrow on the Saturday against LG would be good for me!

[heartsink]

😂😂 Liam g ain’t a replacement for anybody 

A lot of festivals share the same headliner have done for years 

 

also R&L haven’t delayed any announcements because they’ve had to replace somebody haha y’all need get a grip majority of the line up would have been booked last year

 It doesnt explain why they haven’t released the rest of the lineup if they drafted in their replacement back in November

[heartsink]

It is bizarre that blink 182 while touring enama of the state (20 year anniversary) last year in America promised the uk would get their shows next year and still nothing has been announced 🤔 

this could point to a blink headline slot with a then uk tour around September which is usually what happens with R&L headliners, I’ve noticed a lot of people have said stormzy has a uk tour booked that would also point to a R&L appearance 

with Kendal announced later on today we will finally see if biffy are set for bigger festivals or the smaller ones I.e Kendal, Ynot, tramlines 

bearing this in mind probably could be looking at 

Blink 182-Liam G-Stormzy

but we’ve also heard that BMTH have said they are pencilled in (apparently) so maybe blink will drop down and sub just playing the album in full which opens up a co headline for a band artist or a right out headline for BMTH which we know R&L like to give to bands who have earnt them I.e 1975, 21P, Foals, Disclosure, 

Going off all that and seeing the trsmt line ups and everything being thrown about in here I’ll predict 

BMTH/Travis Scott       Liam G      Stormzy

Blink                                 Foals         TDCC

You’re missing the point. Show me one year where Lattitude and reading have shared headliners.

They are run by the same organiser. It’s not something that happens all the time... if ever.

I’m not sure I am really unfortunately it would seem you are “missing the point” 

liam g appeals to a wide range of audience so he’s comfortable and transitional enough with his show headlining to a crowd of latitude to then headline R&L, also with his Heaton park show selling out in a matter of mins the organisers know they will get masses of people jumping on his Leeds appearance hence why he’s got  the Sunday slot with it being bank hol 🤷🏼‍♂️

Yeah my money has been on Blink-182! Considering them saying they would tour the UK this year! I would definitely love to see them play ‘Enema of the State’ in full plus other songs after!   

[ob123]

I have no inside information or anything but I’m 99% sure BMTH will be booked this year

???

Can someone help me out here.

Lattitude and Reading have never shared headliners in the past because they are ran by the same company? You’re right they’ve probably booked Liam for both because he will sell tickets but that can’t have been their original idea. What kind of marketing strategy is that?

I’m going to organise a party that I need full attendance for, but I’m going to book a band to perform to sell the tickets. I’m also going to organise another party down the road with the same band. It is also vital that I sell out the first party.

The only saving grace R&L may have is the completely different demographic of the two.

It may put me off going to both as I usually do every yeah however I doubt this will be the case for a large number of people.

Does seem like a really strange thing for them to do though.
