Truck is half the size of Finsbury park that they also headlined

Can't argue with them as a 4th down booking really if they are headlining a 45k park. Jamie T is doing that and a lot of people seem to think hes MSW or nothing

They 'Co-headlined' truck behind Fender tbf

It’s more the amazement that they can sell out 22.5k yet alone 45k 

Fair play to them, hard to imagine an audience for them in this day and age

my mistake although theyy were originally before 21 got canned

Do we think sleeping with sirens / black veil brides / falling in reverse could be potential fr headliners or are they too big now 

[WhoOdyssey]

Falling In Reverse are pretty big now, at least in the US. Their 2019 single ‘Popular Monster’ has racked up 212m streams on Spotify, with the single from earlier this year ‘Zombified’ not far off 45m. 
 

 

[Andre91]

Falling In Reverse would be big enough over here to play as a second stage headliner or third down main stage act at download.

Travis back on lineups already

Chemical Brothers aren't headlining, they would do a Pendulum appearance at most.

 

Don't think you relise how big the chem brothers are, they headlined APE this year and have headlined other fetivals in the uk like IOW. They could easily headline MSW, Maybe even MSE but that might be stretching it

They wouldn’t though because they’re completely unsuited to Reading and Leeds and there would genuinely be about 40 people who have any idea who they are. It’s a waste of a booking and for those reasons, it simply won’t happen.

Reckon he’ll do Wireless next year then headline MSE in 2024

[FeverDream]

Sziget have confirmed their first wave of acts will be announced mid-November. Can't see it being much longer for the R&L first announcement. Should also give us a good indication if the 5 names we were given are around and about.

i reckon wireless swerve him next year because they already have issues with people pushing through their barriers and coming in.

You’d hope he’ll be doing the opposite of encouraging that in future

[gfa]

Travis is more Reading's size than Wireless imo

Can someone remind me of the 5 names so I don't have to trawl through the thread please. Hopefully better than Glastonbury predicated 3 of am, gnr and Elton

They were Billie Eilish, Green Day, Sam Fender, KSI and Foals. Final one is a mystery

Completely forgot about that and I was there in Leeds (know he said it in London as well with Melv present). Thinking back, what he said definitely hinted at it but the way he said it didn’t make it sound like he’s booked for 2023. Only my interpretation though

[TKOCF]

Foals in America all of July supporting Paramore. Finishing August 2.

Puts them right in line to headline next year IMO.

Could do, yeah, plus rules them out of a return to things like Truck or Y Not.

[gfa]

They just did Boardmasters and APE too. Looks very likely
