Probably mid R1. A slot like Brockhampton in 2018 or Joji last year

How busy was Joji - similar to brockhampton busy?

Tent was pretty full at Leeds but nowhere near Brockhampton levels

Who's a good conversation starter quite a few festivals for 2021 are booking acts from their 2019 editions. Who do we think (and would like) to see from the 2019 edition of R&L be booked for 2021?

I know there are 'many more to be announced' but it's interesting that they've put out a 45% female lineup just for listings of the iPlayer coverage that they'll be doing - to the point where they've included BBC Introducing acts. Speaks very good things for actual announcements going forward.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on here it’s that we need way more female bands/artists higher up the Reading bill, there’s enough out there to fill up a lineup I think and arguably some are better than half the shite on this years lineup anyways

[TheWaters]

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion co-headline next year imo 

[Alex Winstone]

The Cribs? New song is banging

Heard they’re headlining the pit

Been reading reviews of biffys new album tonight and it's been getting some excellent ratings. I know they are seen as a safe/boring booking but I'd be very happy if I could see them at a festival next year be it Reading or somewhere else.

[Jericode]

They're at Download if you weren't aware.

[Sam Y]

Wish we had Biffy next year the new album is so good

I am but I could never convince my mates to go to download unfortunately, as much as I'd love to go.

Get new friends.

[CG31]

New Sea Girls album is good as well

[Andre91]

The Biffy album is outstanding. I think it’s their best since Only Revolutions for sure. 

[Hawky]

Mariscans - Ursa Major is the best release of the week.

They know how to write a festival anthem I will give them that but I find a lot of their music to be derivative, especially their last single "Forever".

Getting a lot of attention this album and I've seen a lot of people sharing this opinion. Couple of tracks let it down for me, couple of the singles I'm not quite with atm, but there are some BIG tunes on it 

[Pottsy2913]

Just finished listening to the new Biffy album, unreal. Wasn't an album I was particularly excited for, but wow, really good stuff. Wasn't sold on 'Instant History' the first time I heard it, but have to say it's my favourite off the new album. 'Tiny Indoor Firework', 'Cop Syrup', 'Space' and 'North Of No South' are standouts as well, glad I didn't listen to any of the singles apart from 'Instant History' in the buildup to the album so I could hear them as part of the album experience for the first time.

Not buying into this nonsense that they've past their prime, they would absolutely smash another headline set at R+L, some of those songs would go off. Make it happen in 2022 Festival Republic.
