Yeah but, kinda takes the uumph out of it if he isn't President anymore.

They're gunna be agitated because he was President? Lacks impact.

But I think that there’s also other awful thing’s happening right now that Trump could deal with better and Rage Against the Machine are a band which will channel anger from that

But the point being is that when they play these shows he will hopefully be out of office.

So all the anger and agitation and the feeling of us being in this moment and fighting against it is gone. It's no longer about Trump and the evils that he is doing as it's over.

These angry, politically charged 'F*ck Trump' comeback shows if Trump loses become just a reunion gig.

New RTJ4 is brilliant, so hope they and Rage play 2021

[Andre91]

I’m totally expecting him to win a second term. RATM’s anger will be justified either way. 

[AThom94]

I don't think RATM will be massive Joe Biden fans tbh.

It's not that deep anyway.

Interesting little article from our very own Melvin Benn on how things might go for 2021. Completely missed it to be honest, so people might have seen it.

Really great album, they seem to age like fine wine.

Between that, Code Orange's Underneath and Freddie Gibbs' Alfredo for AOTY for me atm, and can't see that becoming a premature take - although, RTJ4 is great timing too.

Sports Team new album is alright as well

I’m a huge BMtH fan but for me their chances to headline passed after TTS and even that was a stretch. I think they’d be a very strong sub or co-headliner with a bigger act like Travis Scott who could arguably headline outright.
 

They’d smash a headliner slot and would put on a show but more chance of a one off Slam Dunk style show like ADTR. 

Also, the only UK show they’ve done post AMO is at APE which is odd - seemed to have focussed on America and Asia. 

They're also supposedly releasing a new song in 5 days although anyone outside of the core fanbase would have no idea. They have given it no promo other than a few videos of them in the studio and have left it to Oli Sykes to announce the release date on his personal instagram (the band have still not even supported this date on their official account) 

Even as their main subreddit and discord owner, everything seems very up in the air at the moment and they're definitely starting to lose most of the momentum they built up from Ludens.

Love the new Sports Team one, as a big fan of them for years I can't help but think debut album syndrome has kicked in a bit though. 90% of it was either released on previous EP's/ was used as a single for the album.

I'm also waiting on 8 vinyl copies of it but haven't received shipping info for any of them yet 😬

Yh that is a problem but the singles are good so I guess it’s a good way to buy a collection of them

but my NOACF CD was the same, i got the shipping info a week after it came out even tho I pre ordered in March, but it did arrive pretty quickly after that. Still waiting on a t shirt tho

Biffy subbed by bring me the horizon needs to happen in 2021

Kanye would be a massive clutch by the festival but I can’t see it unless we get like 2 awful headliners

Give it to me right now! Tbh I really don't care if we get shit headliners this would be fucking insane and the festival would sell out!

Can't see Kanye ever doing it unfortunately. Shame, because he's one of the few rappers I can actually get away with to be honest, has some great songs. Although it must be said that the guy is an absolute loon!

What happens to your ticket if you fail a test or a temperature check on the day of the festival? Do you get a refund? 
 

If not, I can’t imagine many splashing out £200 on a festival ticket to then cross their fingers and hope that they can get in.

I doubt there'd be a refund, but I doubt it would put too many off. The chances of that happening would be statistically far lower than some other illness or injury stopping a person from attending.

No Rage according to the Werchter thread, there not doing festivals and doing a tour in November 2021. Fucking gutted.

That's gutting if true, genuinely gutting. Will probably be a London show only if they come to the UK, which will be a lot of travel for someone living up North!

Agh, that is an absolute nightmare.

Rage getting announced was simply the biggest thing Reading could have pulled off for me personally.

I dread to think who they’ll get to replace them.

[FloorFiller]

I’m guessing Rage being out is the main reason they decided to not say the lineup is moving over to 2021 - big loss for the festival that, although unfortunately probably not a great loss to most of the usual attendees these days.

[CG31]

No Rage, the only headliner I was actually looking forward to😔😔, feel like ik a good replacement tho
