I still do think Coldplay are still in line to headline really tryna get my head around seeing them on a poster and kinda can see it plus there two new singles are both pretty decent.

they aren't worth the money could literally get a completely stacked lineup for the same cost as them plus two other decent headliners.

[Matt42]

Absolutely based on nothing but I wouldn’t be confident about Cardi being booked at all.

Foals tickets flew out today. Surely surely must be in contention 

[Slugy]

Friday - Foals

Saturday - Billie E/Travis S

Sunday - Chili Peppers

[Dukey]

Foals were incredible last night at their intimate gig in Leeds, new tracks were excellent live. Sorted tickets for their tour but it would be great if they headlined. They'd smash it and deserve the slot outright and not co-headlining. 

Something like - 

Foals

BmTH/Travis Scott

Stormzy

Only issue is the lack of "legend" headliner.

Please please please can we get Kanye...

Only if he agrees that the only song he plays from the new album is On God.

I put lewis capaldi cause i don't know what to put in this place.
I agree with justice in dance tent would be insane.
I am a french guy and i don't know how famous kodaline and stereophonics are in your country and Frank Carter are always there in this festival. I just wanted to put him on a good place and i don't find another place to put in.

Why can't they headline Reading 2020 ? I saw them on werchter 2017 and it was insane even if  it was werchter crowd. I just want to see them with a real atmoshere that just english can make.

Maybe you can replace them by coldplay or red hot chili peppers but i think it must be huge band to close the festival as usual.

[skltn]

I don't understand the hype with foals, i was there in 2016 when they co-headline with Disclosure. There was a very few people who watched them and their performance was a way too bad.

OK I understand,  I didn't kow that a band can't headline both download and reading in the same year.

Yeah there’s usually some sort of exclusivity in contracts, plus, they want to sell tickets for that particular festival so it wouldn’t make sense for the headliner to play more than one festival date in the same summer. 

[jump]

I don't think R&L view System as headliners regardless of what they are doing Download, they subbed last time they played and they haven't done much since.

Get KANYE ON NOW this new album is absolute fire

[plugger147]

System were absolutely dire last time I saw them at download, they really wouldn't get a good crowd at Reading in my opinion and Die Antwoord aren't going to be booked at any festival until the shit surrounding them is sorted out ?

I didn't know about die antwoord. I hope that this case will be settled by the end of the year and that they can booked for the next year festival. I saw them on Reading 2016 and it was incredibly insane. I just want to see them again.
 

[R Shah]

Do we think BMTH headlining outright could be acceptable if the other 2 were ridiculously big, something like 

BMTH / Drake / Arctic Monkeys

yes, this would get a great reaction. this is my absolute dream for this year but i think it’s very unlikely.

Didn't they also vow to never play R&L after their last performance?
I'm sure they had a big fall out with the festival from how they apparently treated them?

Die Antwoord that is, not System.

They didn’t headline when they last played and their stock was higher. 
 

The atmosphere was shit, the crowd averag and the band more so

[TheWrightStuff]

Anyone seen on wiki that the 2020 headliners are stormzy, Travis scott/bmth and the strokes?
