Lineup 2020

[Bixer]

I'm happy with the headliners which I guess is the main thing, but compared to the last time RATM played where the three subs were QOTSA, Bloc Party and Tenacious D, it is woefully weaker this year.

[BenG92]

Instant day ticket for Rage, but what in the absolute fuck are they thinking sticking Idles there and not subbing Rage, now 80% of the crowd is gonna run from main > r1 > main again.

Gallows on the sunday is decent, doubt it'll be the OG though.

Pretty weak line up imo.

If it's the Wade lineup it's a poor headliner, their last two albums aint been that great tbf.
Frank joining them would have my day ticket right there though!

[TheWaters]

Absolutely FUCK whoever thought it was a good idea to clash Stormzy, Denzel Curry and JPEGMafia wtf

 

And Idles probably clashing with Rage? Wtf ? Cba fuck sake

Foo Fighters 2019. The Pit closed early.
Fall Out Boy 2018. The Pit closed early.
Metallica 2015. The Pit closed early.
Queens of the Stone Age 2014. Lock-Up closed early. 
Green Day 2013. Lock-Up closed early.

No chance Fever 333 will clash with Rage.

I feel like that Courteeners set will be near on empty at the Reading site.

Literally, what on earth is that Denzel clash???

I have no idea though thought up some of these.

Phwooarrr that's a shite undercard. Like others have said though, the run of Slowthai > RTJ > Idles and Rage is definitely worthy of a day ticket.

Gutted that Denzel isn't on the Rage day.

Obviously there's still a fair few acts to be slotted in across the lineup, but I'm surprised by the lack of heavy bands on the main stage, especially after the Foos day last year.

Relief, still means Idles will clash with Fever which for me is an absolute disaster

[alfiemartin]

Truck festival it is then 

[Guest]

Also yeah, a lot of these clashes people are stressing about won't happen. They'll close stages early.

Will be really gutted if Idles overlap with Rage though.

Took the words out my mouth, keyboard? phone?

[The All Round Ball :|]

Will IDLES clash with Rage? Because I really hope not. Im guessing not.

[Pottsy2913]

Now that the initial excitement has died down from the Rage announcement, I have to agree it is a pretty poor lineup all around for me personally. Big name headliners, and they have done well to get them even if I'm not a fan of Stormzy and think LG's voice is shot to shit (maybe LG less so, because he's playing everything this summer, but he is still a big name regardless), but I get the impression they used the bulk of their money for Rage. 

I'll be there in some capacity, but it doesn't look likely it will be a weekend ticket unfortunately.

[Hawky]

IDLES will finish about 5-10 mins before RATM start.

Looks like it's gonna be wade mate, I'm sure Frank came out and did a song last time.

 

Rattle snakes are smashing it tbh.

[K2001]

How many more people overall still get announced further on, like how many acts actually are at reading? 

[pepesilvia]

food for thought - think there's a 3rd down main still to be added on saturday, only two logos there so far

[flint35]

Anyone struggling to buy pre-sale tickets via Barclaycard on Ticketmaster. Seeing a spinning circle of death under 'Barclaycard Presale Happening Now'

[dum surfer]

What is that denzel curry/jpegmafia clash about lol wtf

[JSmurphy]

I might be in the tiny minority here, but I think it's a good lineup. Not to my tastes but the headliners are good/great, and the undercard is already pretty stacked with gems. Mahalia, Fontaines D.C, Easy Life, Holding Absence, Cancer Bats, Ho99o9, Black Peaks and Spector. 

[lukecork]

On a real, minus a handful of acts this is one of the worst line ups they've ever had. If not the worst.

[gfa]

The headliners aren't sparse other than Rage (who are purposely sparse).

Really poor lineup honestly - all the big acts except Rage are literally everywhere this year (and stormzy had the big tour)

[Jericode]

That Saturday is so dead, there's maybe two acts I want to see.

My girlfriend is actually quite keen now despite being put off by the headliners so I may end up going.

[Mattymooz]

Honsetly think the dance stage is the strongest part of this lineup. Would have thought Hybrid Minds, Hannah Wantsand Sonny Fodera would all be headliners for that.

Wonder who was supposed to be headlining before Rage extended there tour to Europe. I presume Courteeners with Two Door subbing?
