Might not be, potentially...

The Radio X thing looks tenuous. I’d say at best they’re sponsoring a smaller stage with bands on it.

[eFestivals]

turns out I was well off with today's guess and much closer with my guess back in the autumn (tho still very wrong on specific bands).

It's a weird mix in my opinion, still kind of looks like they aren't sure where they are going with it

So they’ve gone towards a more indie rock-based bill? Interesting, but probably gonna be disappointed.

Give us a scoop please @eFestivals.

Just had a look and all I could see was him thinking they may go back to having more guitar bands in there as opposed to outright pop, but I can't see any specific guesses from him anywhere.

Actually I remember Neil thinking in the Latitude section that Flo was a good bet for this before agreeing that her tour dates made her look more likely for Latitude. Maybe he's referring to her when he says he was wrong on specific acts.

If they did what would be a good act to play the festival realistic, whats your prediction @Gucci Piggy even though we don't know much. By the way, great profile picture, look good.

Will just be a bill flooded with the likes of Imagine Dragons and Kaiser Chiefs tbh, wouldn't it? Shame they've wasted KoL, The Kooks and The Wombats on R&L.

[Callum_96]

Headliner wise its not pop orientated but the undercard is a pop heavy with a few indie bands for good measure.

I'd say Florence but I think that may be an act Neil is referring to when he says he was wrong on specific acts.

Liam Gallagher if he isn't already doing too many other fests/outdoor shows.

Imagine Dragons probably as a sub but maybe a headliner if there's a decreased capacity or something.

Not sure really as the usual V bands seem to be busy elsewhere (Killers, KoL, Kasabian).

Edit: I do look good, don't I? Cheers.

Would you say it's decent?

[Gucci Piggy]

Snow Patrol maybe? Probably a sub unless it's downsized, mind.

[RarerThanDandyB]

Royal Blood? Exclusive? They were in the charts and then someone like Florence and pop undercards?

It's nothing to shout home about, very drab and nothing new. I think most acts on the bill have been announced for various other festivals, both headliners are headlining a different day of a certain festival north of the border...

Whats north of the border? 

[Mattymooz]

Are The XX doing anything this year? They seem like they could be in with a shout though again may be a tad small to outright headline

TRNSMT I'm guessing. Doubt they would rebook Killers and they aint got Arctics so it Liam Gallagher & Stereophonics?

TRNSMT. Won't be Arctic Monkeys and The Killers don't seem to be around in August so I guess it's Liam and Stereophonics then.

Was gonna say Stereophonics along with Snow Patrol as having no English fests, then realised they're at Tramlines. Them and Liam Gallagher? Actually I guess if I'm not ruling LG out due to his million other fest shows then I can't rule The Killers out either.
