Last year I wanted Killers, Foals, Nothing but Thieves and Wet Leg on the same day, and could've accepted others who were around like Frank Turner, Amazons, Holly Humberstone and Inhaler. So, not to say you should prepare for disappointment but... that.

My first was 2007, so it'll be 17 years of disappointment celebrated!

Doubt it, there’s only ten acts

No but like last year they announced 10 names on the radio and then put out a load more on a poster

Does anyone know what happened to the Eminem info? Reckon he pulled out and is maybe planning his own shows, or did it not come from a reliable source in the first place? 

[VCK2]

People might find Liam playing again to be an uninspiring booking but if he's playing Definitely Maybe in full that'll be a cracker of a headline set.

[Gejonimo]

Most tweets of headliners are at around 90k views. Lana is at 111k. Catfish is at nearly 400k. Also, the Catfish one has more interactions by a mile.

Now I know it shouldn't be boiled down to that, but...

[Andre91]

Do we know what day LG is playing?

Catfish is trending on Twitter as well. Likely from a lot of people like me who didn't know they were still going. Or indeed still going at an R&L headline level.

[some dude]

Haven't attended in a decade+ but a couple of exciting names there for me. When do they usually announce day tickets on sale? In the next batch of announcements and with the splits I presume?

Not a great comparison when one of the acts has been inactive since September 2021. Of course the band that many thought was dead announcing a comeback will get the most interest out of the gate.

Are we expecting more names in the next few weeks or do we truly believe this is it until February?

they did really well there, just dropping it on social media rather than the radio and getting the hysteria directly

I mean you can say it’s uninspiring but he’s one of the biggest names on the planet rn his tour sold out in less than an hour so he’ll sell a shedload of tickets

[stanh]

I think it's the best set of names they've had in quite some time, will sell VERY well.

[dhtjmnd12]

Fred Again/Catfish

Lana Del Rey/Liam Gallagher 

Blink-182/Gerry Cinnamon 
 

This is how it seems to be coming across on the websites/emails etc, if that’s the case what if they’ve scrapped the two stages because this split could definitely split the crowds and probably fairly evenly 

[andyrhodes24]

They’ll have to do a proper poster before tickets go on sale, can’t properly market tickets (or day tickets at all) without one

Liam Gallagher is the biggest artist on the lineup. He isn’t playing second fiddle to anybody.

Wouldn't be so sure... 

They've fixed the Leeds site now, Fred back up at the top to match Reading, you don't edit it unless it's a mistake!

Came from my source who is reliable. I did post yesterday though saying he’d told me Eminem was out. Not sure where prodigy are

Can’t be LDR doing MSE when LG did it in 2021, especially when Lana did the second stage at Glasto last year

Liam probably saw 1975 on MSW last year and thought "if it's good enough for Matt Healy, it's good enough for me"

[VCK2]

Liam did take a sub slot at Glasto the other year when he had already pretty much established himself as a headliner at other major festivals so maybe he is more humble than people think, and is willing to take a co-headline slot.

[VCK2]

Also on a side note, 'Dark Fruits' is such a lame terminally online Gen Z term. Just call it what it's been known as for decades, 'lad rock'!
