Lineup 2020

[Dukey]

Rage Against the Machine as a European exclusive would be quite a booking

[LG X]

The Streets confirmed to headline Victorious on the 29th of August. Does this make them more/less likely to headline the R1? I reckon less likely tbh.

Victorious on the Saturday and SW4 on the Sunday so they're out now too, Mike Skinner or The Streets could always do something on the Thursday at Leeds though like Skinner has done in the past

What year was it where RATM pulled out of Download to play Reading and Leeds? 

2008.

I had to miss Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip to watch RATM, still sad I missed them but Rage were great.

didn’t know that, ffs. 

[Padjeq]

I figure whenever it happens, RATM will do 2 summers here, giving them the oportunity to headline Reading one year and Download the next.

RATM/Dua Lipa co headline

It would be an instant day ticket sale for me. I am someone that vowed never to return to R&L again after 2014.

I reckon this is a demographic that consists of more than just me. It would 100% attract many people back to reading who haven’t been for years.

[OnlyRevolutions]

Whole forum is going into meltdown if we've been told we're getting RATM and end up with Eminem performing his three newest albums, don't do this to us Dan we've gone through enough hysteria already

[Brandohoff]

They know they’ve been going down hill these last few years and they’re starting the new decade off with a lineup for the ages. 

Eminem / RATH / BMTH / LG / RHCP / stormzy / travis / MCR / green day 

losing the pit and the FR stages and just stacking the main stage with bangers all day. 

[Matt42]

RATM are known to sign up for things or sort things quickly. Rumours are that Coachella was organised pretty soon after they decided to reunite, and we know that Prophets of Rage had an entire 2020 tour which has now been scrapped.

Maybe Rage didn’t have any plans to come to Europe but R&L really tried to make it happen.

Depends how much money were thrown at them i'm sure they'd make the trip over for a Fuck Brexit show if the money was right

That's cool. Would make a great Festival Republic headliner, for me. I don't think a single soul at R&L would have heard their most recent record but they've got a good back catalogue. Hard for anyone who played FIFA through 2011-2015 to not have a soft spot for em -  Call It What You Want and Are You What You Want To Be? brings back good memories. Houdini and Coming of Age are good too.

R1 I reckon surely - the crowd of people who want to see pumped up kicks would be large I think, obviously at headliner time many people will be met with the clash and probably choose someone else as they only have the one big song, so mid-R1 would make more sense I think (or maybe i just want to see them without a clash)

Also people would swarm there from main to catch the end of their set once the mainstage headliner finishes if they don't finish first. Last played glasto mid Other so I think this slot would work best (R1 instead of other)

The prospect of this is really exciting to me. Don’t let us down @Dan Wilcox

[sameimpala]

If it's RATM and Stormzy then i shall be getting a weekend ticket no questions asked. Seen LG already and he was good but that's a great set of headliners. Especially if BMTH show up too. Lots of people my age (21) who never really got a chance to see Rage.

[Chad888]

Absolutly getting a weekend ticket if they are performing with them 2 headliners

 

Who would sub at that rate?

 

Can imagine: 

Stormzy >> Bring me the Horizon, R1 Vampire Weekend

Liam Gallagher >> Tyler the Creator, R1 TDCC

Rage against the Machine >> Run the Jewels, R1 Dua Lipa

I think Dua is too big for Radio 1 even up against Rage. I don’t think she will be at Reading as it’s probably sub or nothing for her.

Run The Jewels at Reading would be cool but I don’t see it. I don’t think the Rage day would be catered towards Rage, I think it would be a standard Reading day with Rage on top of it. I don’t think Reading would really be able to pull together an entire day which appeals to Rage fans. Not in 2020.

I think tyler would sub on any given grime/rap day if anything + TDCC headlining R1 rather than subbing or third down on mainstage would be a bit of a step down imo 

[sameimpala]

Dua's tour is massive & she's only gonna get bigger, she'd sub at least or the R1 would be dangerously full.

[OnlyRevolutions]

Stormzy > Khalid // R1: Sam Fender, DMA's

Liam Gallagher > Lewis Capaldi  // R1: Bicep, Aitch

RATM > Bring Me  // R1: J Hus, Roddy Ricch

Everyone seems so confident about RATM coming... but it is not a secret anymore that they'll be touring in Europe in 2021, so why all of these coms' about them, did I miss something ?? 

[Tom Connolly]

@Dan Wilcox who is this forums most reliable (and sometimes least reliable source) has said it's going to be Stormzy / LG / RATM but he's a wind up merchant so we'll have to wait and see

[foolee]

All this talk of RATM and then announcement day comes along and we actually get Blink-182 - Liam Gallagher - BMTH 😂
