Lineup 2020

[Tom Connolly]

just let BMTH do it, they’re more than ready, they deserve it and they’d absolutely smash it

[Matt42]

I think the Killers are more likely to be booked off the back of Glasto than Stormzy. I honestly think Stormzy might push Merky Fest or headline Wireless on his new album.

Blink 182 and BMTH co headline ain’t that bad of an idea actually. It would sell amongst a strong trio of headliners. 

[Alex Winstone]

Stereophonics? - New album on the way, haven't played Reading and leeds in years, Indie legends 

[Jericode]

Stereophonics are down headlining Y Not level fests, no way they headline R&L any more.

Think we'll get the below headliners

BMTH - possibly co with someone such as Royal Blood/ QOTSA 

Stormzy - Need the classic Saturday rap act and after Glastonbury a R&L set seems likely

The Killers - Seem to be going with that slightly more classic act on Sundays recently (KOL, Foo's)

Out of all the posts I think this one is most likely and on the right lines (even if you get the band's wrong)

who’s making these odds up ? The Vaccines, ASAP Rocky and Wolf Alice to be the 3 next year uno

whoever made this up knows nothing about gambling or how to make a book. 

I would be interested in betting some of the 10/1 or above if this was real.

They could do Slam Dunk.

Won't be them but if they are there they will most likely do a non headline slot.

[Jackson Maniac]

Leaning into Slipknot - BMTH x Billie Eilish - Travis Scott at the moment.

feel like BMTH would be better as a stage closer but it’d be embarrassing for them to have half the crowd leave before them 

[MIchael_scarn]

Foals - Billie Eilish/Travis Scott - The Strokes

Hopefully this happens so I look like a genius. 

 

[TheWaters]

I know it's not exactly likely but I'd absolutely love to see The XX subbing and Jamie XX doing a closing set on the R1 or something. Sticking it in my prediction because I'm allowed to have some wishful thinking.

[Andre91]

Slipknot / Tyler, The Creator / Don Broco / Slaves / Neck Deep / scarlxrd / Knocked Loose / I Prevail / Stand Atlantic 

J Hus / Octavian / MØ

Stormzy (OR Billie Eilish) / Chance The Rapper / IDLES / Loyle Carner / Sam Fender / Pale Waves / As It Is / YONAKA / Sea Girls 

The Vaccines / DMA’s / Miles Kane 

Kasabian / Two Door Cinema Club / Skepta / The Neighbourhood / Slowthai / Fontaines D.C. / The Regrettes /  Gengahr / Black Foxxes 

Kygo / Little Simz / Kano 

 

I was inclined to have Architects subbing Slipknot and Tyler instead of Chance under Billie.

New Marilyn Manson comin. Get them headlining R1 one night. 

[bigcharlie65]

Why have reading tickets increased in price again and also is there not early entry on Wednesday now cause looks like it's moved to Thursday?

Yeah that’d be nice.

Early entry pass is separate to the weekend ticket and means you can go on the Wednesday.

[Matt42]

At least there’s some decent (and likely) names in the mix for 2020 already.

[ob123]

The Vaccines headlining Radio 1 tent is a shout, or even Kaiser Chiefs 

[TheWaters]

Right super early prediction that will be nowhere near right:

 

Stormzy//Tyler, The Creator//Architects//All Time Low//Halsey//Loyle Carner//Tonight Alive

Jamie T//Metronomy//Octavian//Rich Brian//Yonaka

 

The Strokes/Foals//Skepta//Brockhampton//Bullet For My Valentine//The Amazons//Blaenavon

J Hus//Idles//Declan McKenna//Marmozets//JPEGMAFIA

 

The Killers//The XX//Bombay Bicycle Club//Nothing But Thieves//The Neighbourhood//While She Sleeps//MoStack

Jamie XX (Closing Set)//Courteeners//Neck Deep//21 Savage//Dominic Fike//Rejjie Snow

ye I know but says different on efestivals news feed

I think theres a big shout of a Bullet/Slipnot co headlining the heavier day if theres one.

Bullet are nowhere near big enough surely? I’m fairly sure they played about 5th down last time they played and they were more relevant then than they are now.

That’d be like Drake co-headlining with Tinchy Stryder.
