Been following this thread for a while & went to Reading for 10 years from 2002-2012.

Not sure if anyone has picked up on this yet but BBC Sounds there is a mix called Handpicked By 6 Music. One of the track is Rage - Bulls on Parade.

At the end of the track - the presenter says they've been announced for Coachella & will they play a certain August Bank Holiday Festival? He then says 'maybe they will have announced it by the time you hear this'. He must have inside knowledge.

I definitely think Rage will be a headliner. Possible sub by Skepta or Dave.

Not sure about Rage, but I've been told Dave is definitely sub-headliner.

heard this from someone that works at Festival Republic, 4 main stages with no clashes Sonisphere style, no undercard on each main stage or radio 1 stage to save cost 

MS1 - RATM X BMTH / BIFFY X LG - MCR

MS2 - STORMZY - TRAVIS SCOTT - EMINEM

MS3 - SLIPKNOT - AC/DC - G’N’R

MS4 - BLINK 182 X WEEZER - GREEN DAY - FALL OUT BOY

Won't be green Day, fall out boy and weezer

[CG31]

I get the feeling Eminem wouldn’t accept Friday Reading and Saturday Leeds I think he want to close one

I also think that Rage will close Reading if it’s true, so I think Travis Scott could still be the rap headliner

Currently going for

The Strokes - Dave - Wolf Alice - Nothing But Thieves

LG/Travis Scott - Courteeners- Run the Jewels

RATM - BMTH - IDLES - Slowthai

Looking at previous years of Boston Calling there's been a bit of crossover with R&L and two headliners have headlined both festivals the same year since 2016 (Disclosure in 2016 & TOP in 2019) but as far as undercard goes they share a few acts and they've also got LG on the undercard this year

GO WITH IT NOW

[Dukey]

My emotions are being thrown all over - chance of Rage - then there’s not - now there is again

[lukecork]

Radio man throws a name in the hat and people lose their mind.

Jack Garrat has just released new music for the first time since 2016, chances of him??

Correct.

They're in NYC. No Green Day/FOB/ Weezer. 

 

I still don't think that's enough evidence to confirm ratm, but ratm x blink-182 would be insane.

It’s a joke from 2013 when green day said they had played with their sub before and no one was expecting SOAD to sub, then zane lowe started chip suey and everyone on here went crazy. Hoping for a moment like that his year with RATM but don’t think it’s likely unfortunately

Egg and your face will be in alignment, when it's announced!

All I'm saying is why would he say those comments? He could've just stopped with they've been announced for Coachella. He wouldn't be able to confirm they are playing but surely he's got some inside knowledge....

[Isambard]

I've been following this thread for some time now, but never wanting to be the newbie - thought it was time to create an account!  Your speculation and anticipation has been fun to follow these last few months, hoping we're not all disappointed when the announcement is finally made.

[jcarb]

I know there's the leak for Sziget of Eminem and R&L sometimes share artists.
Could be a possibility he just does his own headline shows in the UK I guess?
He'd easily sell out a stadium date or two and would free us a headliner spot up.
Just hoping it's not him as I purely cba with him aha!

I hope they do play and I am wrong, he's probably saying those comments to get his listen count up, look how many have listened on one forum thread now :).

 

Loads of djs probably say the same about every other artist, we'll never know its just a big deal cause its RATM. Scenes if they do headline, wouldn't even need 2 other headliners haha that'd be huge.

I heard rob kellas is introducing each main stage act to the stage this year.

 

also

nine inch nails to headline 

rob fucking kellas get TPD as a main stage headliner

[Helenahe]

I think we should think logically about this leak, if the guy knew something on the inside and hadn’t being asked to hint at it on the radio he would be risking his job. He could of also been speculating and lastly FR could of asked for him to hint at it which I think is very unlikely 

I don’t think we should get our hopes up

[Traher666]

FWIW, I was told a couple of weeks ago it would be Rage, by someone I’d trust to be right about it.

Why were you purposely withholding valuable information from this investigation?

[Traher666]

Could be utter shite, same person gave me duff info about the MCR reunion. Just added my two pence worth in as it seems to have a little credence to it.

Sorry if I’m being special, but what does TPD stand for
