Sorry, missed that

Few hours later and I still can’t believe they’ve got The Prodigy. 

[Chad888]

Heres a poster to get people hyped up at the stack we currently have. Another 120 artists to be added too.

Looks good, Chadderz. Although I think 21 Savage will sub LG. He’s playing the O2 this week.

I'm thinking we have a new tent that has Prodigy, Skrillex, and an other headlining ... perhaps a mashup between Dance, Pit, and R1 tent

Absolutely not. Simply because I cannot stomach the thought of Blink and The Prodigy clashing 😂

[Dukey]

The Prodigy are headlining Isle of Wight - surely they’re only doing the main stage. Wouldn’t be surprised to see them do a MSW closing set.

Unlike last few years. where you look at other festivals and go "Wow was that really the best Reading could do" whereas this year I am looking and going at them and going "Reading did well" an example of that being The Prodigy headlining Isle of Wight and just being a second wave lineup addition for Reading this year.

Idk bc maybe it would finish later and focus around dance music like skrillex and the prodigy and one other maybe like Andy c or fatboy slim headlininy

[Andre91]

This is the best received lineup I can remember in god knows how long. They really seem to have hit it out of the park (and we’ve only got 13 acts announced!).

Spill the beans Paul!

Yeah bought my ticket today. Following the reaction was taking no risks. Personally incredibly happy with what’s been announced so far.

I’m intrigued too because what I was told was “Going to have a lot of space to fill”

[Hart Attack]

Two main stages side-by-side in the traditional east spot, with the return of the big tent back where it used to be in place of main stage west.

Do you mind if I ask what you do for a living? I know you’ve been on site/ itk for a few Fests, do you do stage production or the like?

I am just a freelancer working events with various companies, prior to 2019 it was mainly security, but since then it's been a mix of things from Accreditation, Traffic Management etc.

For FR I do various roles such as Production Entrances, Campsite Management, Gate Management etc.

Or another outdoor Radio 1 stage/Arcadia type thing.

Friday Reading secured

What is this Arcadia thing people keep mentioning?

Are you asking what it is or where the rumour is?

If your asking what it is, its a dance stage famously used at Glastonbury. Its most famous stage, and the one im assuming would come to Reading is a Spider and has pyros and things in, creates a really impressive show.

If your question is what is the rumour, someone came in here last week stating they had heard that the stage was coming to Reading this year, we dont know much else other than this though.

[chazwwe]

Friday Reading got. First time being back in any capacity since 2013.

Don't think it's been acknowledged enough how great the 21 Savage booking is as well.

I know its a bit of a sketchy metric to use , but 50M+ monthly listeners on spotify is huge when you look in comparison to the other headliners
