Lineup 2020

[Stuielooie]

Wasn't a few pages back where it was said BMTH turned down headline slot?

[Quorn]

If this is true then I feel like I’m in the minority saying that it seems pretty good for me, Biffy/BMTH coheadline will be mint, Eminem should be good and I’m sure I’ll find plenty of small bands to watch once they’re announced

[jonnyisRFC]

Yeah, the line up won’t be long out for another few weeks and Dan has trolled us like 3 times already, so hopefully there’s another 3 troll line ups to come. 
however, if this latest one is correct, my stretch of 14 Reading Festivals will be over. 

[Andre91]

This has 2018 written all over it. He’s telling the truth but it’s so disappointing people are going to choose to disbelieve the info. 

Biffy / BMTH day ticket will be great. 

[Alfrancis1989]

I’m calling bollocks

 

Biffy/BMTH // LG // Eminem

Subs: Migos / Courteeners / Gerry Cinammon don't know who is subbing who.

NME headliners Red Orange County and AJ Tracey, one TBC. 

Run the Jewels main stage. 

Main stage very low on guitar bands.

[jonnyisRFC]

They’ve had Eminem twice already in the last 6 years? And both times he’s gone down like a shit sandwich. Migos? Never heard of them/him/her.

He has sold a tonne of tickets each time so that’s why they keep booking him.

You pretty much called this was how it was going to turn out too.

It's an entirely realistic lineup too. I don't see what the issue is here.

[Sam Y]

I believe the headliners but not the subs as I don’t think Migos isn’t big enough any more and Gerry cinnamon isn’t yet unless they’re subbing the co headline

Am I right in saying dan always gives us correct info just before the actual line up drops? 
I used to have a friend who worked in media and used to get the press release 24 hours early and used to tell me the line up (I never used to spread it on here in case he got in shit for it) 

Im hoping Dan has something similar and is just fucking with us until then! 
 

The line up isn’t awful, I guess the festival has changed a lot from when I started to go. But man, I was so pumped for RATM.

How can someone who's sold as many tickets as Gerry Cinnamon not be big enough to sub? Have you seen some of the acts to actually sub this?

[atomised]

I think we could get an I dication of which acts are about and how close this could be when Rock en Seine drops on monday.

His popularity is astounding and he is certainly big enough to sub. Lots of people just dislike him on here. I can’t stand Eminem but I’m not going to say he shouldn’t be a headliner because he’s over the hill. 

[Matt42]

R&l is literally becoming download right in front of some people’s eyes and too many people don’t complain and buy tickets anyway.

The same headliners every three years recycled and repackaged.

If Dan Wilcox is right then fuck that. I was excited at the prospect of rage, but I’ve got egg of my face for thinking R&L had actually turned a corner.

If you look at those acts and get excited, can I ask...is this your first festival? Or do you not give a shit about heavy act recycling and don’t really care if the same bands play year after year?

I really love Biffy Clyro and Bring Me The Horizon so that excites me. Everything else he posted does absolutely nothing for me. 

I totally see the Download parallels. 

[DomDom1984]

From that list, BMTH/Biffy, Courteeners and Gerry would be folk I'd go see, but problem is I've seen ALL of them before. Ultimately, if that was in Glasgow, I'd probably not bother with it.

[Sam Y]

I haven’t ever seen BMTH or Biffy so I’m excited for them.

Ok the dude bitching earlier today made me laugh but this got me. Don't think it'll go down well anyway but here we go...

Main stage very low on guitar bands.

That's all I know for now. 

Literally nothing too exciting there for me lol

Love Biffy and BMTH but seen them before

LG and Eminem also (Reading 2017)

Also main stage very low on guitar bands scares me

If this is true it'll still be great as Reading always seems to be, but damn did I get my hopes up.

[JSmurphy]

Eminem again? What a fucking joke.

[JSmurphy]

Good morning.

Migos played just before The Strokes at Lollapalooza Paris last year and had a huge crowd so can see it being a possibility.

Has anyone ever seen The Reytons and if so let me know if they're half decent live- think they'll be on the lineup somewhere (obviously not main stage) the vocals give me an Alex Turner vibe phaha.

They’re a very shite version of arctics but a good laugh and generally get a good crows

Second time at Reading for me, so yeah I’m in the former group

This!

We got „It‘s RATM. BMTH turned down.“ and „It‘s BMTH. No RATM.“

You can‘t tell when he‘s trolling. Looking at past years, unbelievable info was true. I think it‘s RATM.

[JSmurphy]

Boardmasters has just as strong of a top billing as R&L, if true. Maybe even stronger. Why wait this long to announce that..
