My official prediction, based on who is making movements and doing very well in charts and recent performance - 

Friday//

MSE >> Foals | Rex Orange County | You Me at Six

MSW >> Sam Fender | Yungblud | Idles

Saturday//

MSE >> Kendrick Lamar | Aitch | Olivia Rodrigo

MSW >> Doja Cat | Charlie XCX | Slowthai

Sunday//

MSE >> Muse | Jamie T | Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes

MSW >> Paramore | Machine Gun Kelly | Wet Leg

I like it - but there's no way O Rod plays that far down

So Pulp are reforming. I know people on here will claim the current demographic won't "get them", but their set in 2011 was phenomenal by all accounts, and surely even the young 'uns would know Common People. Decent shout for MSW headliner if R&L bother with going for them..

Too many other choices for Pulp that would suit them far far better. Probably will be about more early summer too for Hillsborough park, Primavera?, glasto, bst etc. APE possible though in fairness but then that would potentially rule them out of R&L

This was said last time Chad made a poster. He's moved her up 1 slot at least but still silly 😂

IDLES aren't 6th down either. aitch isn't a MSE sub. Days need mixing more, saturday has no indie/rock at all

Nailed on for Headline slots at Truck,  Victorious etc… can’t see Reading fighting for them over those places

[BenG92]

RHCP releasing a second new album this year in October. Surely due a R+L return, especially with Frusciante and all this new material?

Might be asking a lot but is it possible to just say yes/no without devolving into the age old "RHCP are shit live" debate? 😅

Is a Pulp reunion that small? Will agree, Reading and Leeds don't seem the natural place to return, but that feels like a very large booking for somewhere like Truck.

They're almost nailed on to do a big homecoming show in Sheffield I think. Tramlines could be a good shout, or they might just do their own open air gig.

I think they'll do at least one of the major UK fests. Glastonbury would be an obvious choice, maybe TRNSMT too. Like I say R&L might not be as possible given how much the festival has changed down the years, but they weren't the most "fashionable" act when they were booked for 2011 and still went down a storm. I'm living in hope the organisers will at least go for them!

Bruh, we have Polo G with his 1 song subbing MSE this year. We have D-Block Europe (WHO?!) subbing MSW! I think you are overestimating FR's booking capability. Aitch is the biggest crowd pleasing rapper in the UK that isn't headline level. Olivia Rodrigo in reality, is Sigrid size, heck Billie Eilish was 4th down main stage last time she turned up. 

 

Idles are smaller than A Day to Remember, they're '6th down'.

Surely the point is if Polo G can sub on one song O-Rod can do it on her two.  (If we are actually believing they only have limited material)

I reckon a bit bigger than truck. IOW / Latitude / TRNSMT size events.

• D Block Europe who sold out the o2 give over...
• Aitch logic works for Becky Hill but she's not subbing
• Billie Eillish was booked before she blew up.
• Sigrid doesn't have mutliple billion stream songs, sigrid played 3rd down on the park i think at glasto vs rodrigo on the other stage to a massive crowd. You may not think shes that big (wrong) but sigrid size is a complete joke. Up there with the dumbest things i've seen on this site that one

[jump]

I like how all posts from Chad end up with him complaining about how he doesn't understand the yoof music. Neither do I but I just say they are shit and move on from it rather than trying to quantify those acts. lol

[NoBuses]

Olivia Rodrigo is one of the biggest acts in the world, sigrid size ffs she just sub headlined Bombay Bicycle Club at Truck

Also Polo G is such an awful booking, he played for about 20 minutes at wireless as he has about 3 songs

Pulp playing Truck Fest is not going to happen and I'd be surprised with Victorious. They are icons! They are no less relevant than The Strokes at this point and a whole lot better live.

Pulp to headline TRNSMT, IOW and sub Glasto as special guests.

Good shout, but I'll be disappointed if those are their only UK dates. They need to play up North somewhere.

Who are saying The Strokes are relevant though?

[CG31]

Idk I reckon Pulp at Truck would be good

Surely Rodrigo has entered Capaldiesque special guest slot at this point too, also Capaldi is being ignored if the bloke released more music he’s surely nailed on.

Friday: 

MSE: the 1975/O Rod (SG)

MSW: Doja Cat/ROC

Saturday:

MSE: Kendrick Lamar/Aitch

MSW: Capaldi/Jamie T

Sunday:

MSE: Muse/IDLES

MSW: Kasabian/Slowthai

 

if no new Capaldi music, swap him for Paramore, and then Paramore for Kasabian

I reckon they'd be after Travis / The Weeknd for the first time rather than Kendrick back as its not been too long. Kendrick for BST maybe as he was meant to do in '21

Who's ROC also?

Rex Orange County

but Yh realistically any of those 3, could probably Chuck Eminem in that category too

No 1975, apparently 😞
