In which case there's no chance Foo Fighters are playing as they're doing a festival in Boston that weekend.

They could still do it but I don’t think they’re probably even been considered tbh

I was listening the other day and Greg James has posted the lineup to a caller so they can announce it on Monday morning. So assuming acts and location. 

[NickisGinger]

Probably going to be Dundee isn’t it 😩 

Next year has to be Coventry..

Lewis Capaldi is nailed as they're pretty much Lewis Capaldi FM nowadays.  If it's in Scotland he'll probably headline too and we'll never hear the end of Lewis Capaldi on Radio 1 for as long as it exists.

We will, when the next thing comes along and they’re all over that.

I hope Capaldi doesn't headline. I appreciate how massive he is(especially in Scotland) but it would still feel very meh.

He does look like a shoe-in but I'm not sure if he'll be an undercard rather than the main headliner (but still really high up the bill).

I think killers are more likely to headline than Lewis capdail.

I also recon that Calvin Harris will be there in some form I wondnt be surprised if he headlines.

Well if they have a Friday night dance again that’s probably him.

Maybe probably dance night though 

[jackthewhitestripe]

It's in Camperdown Park, Dundee. Been all over the local press the last few weeks. 

To be announced Monday 

[Comfy Bean]

Killers, Capaldi & Kyle Falconer to all be on the bill ?

Probably not Kyle falconer

[WeeSket]

Think it's most likely to be Calvin Harris headlining the dance night with Lewis Capaldi and the Killers doing the Saturday and Sunday. Slowthai and Brockhampton have performed together a lot and are both free in the UK on the Sunday so would say they are probably a lock

[jj200]

6 acts are going to be announced on Monday. 

Who do you reckon could be announced.

I'm going with - The Killers and Taylor Swift as headliners. Lewis Capaldi and Stormzy as undercards. And then slightly lower down the bill, Sam Fender and Freya Ridings. (Also expect Harry Styles or at least one ex One Direction Member).

As a total guess at some of the 'bigger' names

Dua Lipa Calvin Harris The Killers Post Malone Camila Cabello Lewis Capaldi
