Lineup 2020

[Guest]

If we’re including every possibility then I guess Gorillaz can be added.

[Guest]

Oh yeah and RHCP

[OnlyRevolutions]

Didn't include RHCP due to someone saying that all of their european dates have been announced but that could be false, forgot about Gorillaz but i've added them both on now

[JSmurphy]

 

[Matt42]

Yeah the Weeknd

[Guest]

Aye The Weeknd ain't a bad shout either.

[OnlyRevolutions]

Was going to put The Weeknd on as he's someone i'm really hoping for but there's no concrete info on his touring plans but then again if we're debating Arctic Monkeys then i guess we can debate anyone

My personal favourite choice, seems unlikely but my fingers are crossed. Didn't someone say ages ago that, one of the headliners was a rap/hip hop act, another was indie and the last one was a curve ball for Reading? Surely Gorillaz would be a huge curve ball... 

[Sam Y]

I’m hoping that either AM or Gorillaz are headlining out of those

Surely we’re gonna see the likes of idles, wolf alice, Declan mckenna etc this year. Some of the country’s hottest acts

Declan McKenna hasn't been a hot act since 2017 has he? loved his debut but until recently he hadn't release anything over a three year period

Saw Wolf Alice at the Ethiad with foo fighters a couple of years ago and thought they were shite live not gonna lie

Apparently a LOT of acts turned down headliner slots, not just BMTH.

Blimey. Got to be a money issue? Perhaps Live Nation spunked a load of cash on another band, say, a recently-reunited and mega-expensive headliner.. . Or realistically, Eminem.

Take it this is why the later announcement? Any names you know of which turned it down other than BMTH?

Biffy would do it for 50 K and still bring a massive production , they love playing Reading & Leeds.

[TornShaun]

I heard it's it's Slayer-LG-Slayer

Is this the info you received that you consider depressing?

Perhaps someone seeming likely to be taking the headline slot (maybe RATM) but the dotted lines weren’t signed has pulled out?? 
 

or maybe Courteeners are subbing which appears to be everyone’s worst nightmare (aside from mine because I think they’re a cracking band) 

[Rock_Cycle]

Headlining Reading and Leeds is the best BMTH can really aim for with their career. Must be some complete shitshow going on to make them turn it down.

Can’t complain about that personally, a poor top end of stages but probably the best undercard for me in the last few years

Money, other commitments, no one being around. 

RHCP and Billie were asked.
