Surely Tame Impala should be considered for headline slot this year? Big comeback was at Glastonbury and got new album on the way soon. 

Don't think so really. They don't appear to be a big enough ticket seller in this country at the moment to headline Reading and/or Leeds, and - with 2013 being the last time they appeared - they're not a band that R+L have been guiding up the lineup, like they do with just about every other headliner. I think they'd be an appealing sub but they were touring Europe in late-summer so I'm not sure they'll be back around that time next year.

@dentaIpIan

its weird - I believe Tame Impala suit Reading really well, but their continued absence is quite strange.

I reckon they would make a really strong sub. I do agree they probably aren’t big enough to headline.

However, I feel if they subbed they’d probably get a huge crowd so it’s like ?????

[Tom Connolly]

Blink X BMTH, Stormzy, LG X The Strokes

i’d take that, wouldn’t be a WOW year but it’s 4 decent headliners (and Blink)

Not seen anyone say imagine dragons yet. Probably gunna pop up sooner or later, possibly as headliner, as bleak as that it.

Right festival, wrong year

Don Broco headlining Slam Dunk. I assume that rules them out for R&L?

I think they'll be at Reading without a doubt. Possibly R1 headliner at this point? 

If memory serves me well, Rob pretty much confirmed they'd be back next year with a tweet from this years festival.

Just no. Would like to see Foals co-headline though.

what's better than one band who shouldn't be headlining?

Think you just summed up the Reading ethos since they started booking co-headliners.

I read on one of the announcement pages that Slam Dunk have them as a UK Festival Exclusive (can't find the page now)

[Jericode]

Motion City Soundtrack are definitely exclusive, haven't seen anything saying anyone else is.

Blink / Stormzy / Kasabian as an updated guess.

And returning to Hatfield to headline Slam Dunk 2020 in an exclusive UK festival appearance will be Bedford rock titans Don Broco.

That's the one! Thanks

Foals putting out another belter which is unsurprising. May be bias but their music is ideal headlining material, really hoping we get to see it happen.

[Tom Connolly]

seeing a few shouts of skepta. is he really big enough to even coheadline? i don’t think so personally but

Always been a Foals fan but since seeing them absolutely smash Ynot this year I've become somewhat of a megafan lmao. My ideal headliner for next year. I really think it'd be a good booking especially with this new album coming. Will be 2 new albums worth of material since they co-headed in 2016 they could easily do it.

That was the same with me until I saw their headline set in 2016, ever since they've been my favourite band. Their music is perfect for finishing the night and I personally think they'll draw a really good crowd. Really just want them to get the slots they deserve.

[Nick Aldous]

Kasabian’s return would be too early. Only played on their last album and I imagine they’ll spend next year on an album after serge has finished the SLP

[Jericode]

I didn't realise Kasabian's album was that old, I thought it was only last year. Scratch them for The Killers then.
