Swap Charli and Fender and you've got one of the best lineups of the last 10 years.

Are Bloc Party big enough to play third, I don’t follow them at all so 

[jamieaslee]

Where's AM come from? Is their a sniff of a new album? If not I can't see them touring.

A lot of wishful thinking.

If we're just doing it on new album hype then give it to Bring Me The Horizon.

When dyou think they’ll release the next one

Would Bloc Party really get booked on the main stage? I love them but i don't think they really are that big for reading goers in general vs like landfill indie bands etc. they got two door and capaldi in that slot this year, surely should just rollover one of them as they are both better bookings for the audience and strong gets for a 3rd down

edit: also why the fuck is giggs on the 1xtra stage lol

Get The 1975 back in 2021. Who cares if it will have only been 2 years. 

Get Twenty One Pilots back in 2021. Who cares if it will have only been 2 years.

[Andre91]

Bloc Party haven’t been booked since 2009 and I can’t see them returning. It’s an odd one because they are still big enough to play third down, I think, and with the bookings of The Wombats and The Kooks is those kind of slots in recent years, it’d make sense.

But they’d more likely get mentioned bands back or the Vaccines

Would be a good lineup, can see Idles being too big for the Pit though, the place would be chaos. As brilliant as it would be!

Swap Bloc Party w TDCC would make a bit more sense personally. That slot feels way too low for DMA'S as well - otherwise, cracking lineup.

Sure, same slot as The Kooks the other year.

It's not a bad lineup - but don't you think compared to recent years it is unbelievably strong?

Yeah I can see DMA’s being 3rd/4th from top main - headlining Ally Pally in November and sold out Castlefield Bowl in Manchester

Tent was rammed in 2018 and they’ve only gotten bigger

Yeah DMA's are huge now I feel like they'd make it to third down/forth down main stage like they were at sub status on Truck this year.

this looks pretty good! id personally like a few more rap artists (like u.s rappers eg playboi carti, lil uzi vert...) on main/radio 1 stage... and then giggs on 1xtra stage would be a horror film waiting to happen - hes wireless headliner size. 

as you can tell I'm not a huge grime fan(only know the obvious Stormzy/Skepta etc) so have no idea on placings or size of these acts

Wouldn't be surprised if they headline Truck 2021, would say their 3rd album could make them bigger than Bombay Bicycle Club.

Could headline Thursday alternatively or just do that sub slot.

Since they've already confirmed they'll be in Europe in July 2021, I find Reading unlikely - especially if it's gonna be crammed with the likes of LG, Gerry, Teeners etc. there's enough acts to please that sorta crowd

[R Shah]

NOACF really growing on me today, was reflecting back and the 1975 opening their set with People has got to be one of the most legendary moments the festival has ever seen. Wow.

For them I’m not sure it matters. This year they were due in the UK in May then July then November. Pretty sure last time they played R&L they travelled just for the festival.

*ignore sorry misread

I thought you meant they should drop TDCC from the lineup and book Bloc Party. Apologies

Strangely can imagine a Muse OoS-heavy secret set next year... imagine that early on in the R1 stage...
