Quick, try adding act names to the end of the lineup page URL in case anything comes up.

Just found it, might not be the exact font. Still dont think this is the lineup but odd that they went for a font similar to the new one.

Probably just a case of that they just stumbled upon a similar font to make the poster with...

I would say that was trying to replicate the main font on this year’s lineup poster given its boldness and general vibe. Plus the font on the new 2025 lineup section of the website is just really generic.

It's kind of got to that point where Eminem is my make or break this year 😅

Definitely won't be tonight, see them announcing tomorrow that it's coming Thursday morning probably. Always an announcement of an announcement first 😂

At least the routine is down to a tee. 

 

But at least it stops us running around in circles wondering who or what is big enough for the job.

Pulp being there and Kaiser Chiefs being so low is a bit odd for R&L. I didn't take the former as an R&L type act in this day and age, whereas I expected the latter would be a bit higher

I agree. It's definitely a fake. We'll just have to wait for the official announcement.

At least it'll stop all the speculation and see whether we were all correct in the first place!

You're right, that is the actual font used which isn't a past font either.

It isn’t the same font. The one on the poster is more rounded on the corners than the one on the website. The S and R are also very different. In any case it doesn’t even matter, as it’s clearly a fake poster.

Yeah a very odd poster in terms of acts/placements and a lot of crossover with Boardies which very rarely happens. Excited to see what they do release though.

It is you are right I hadnt realised that, just put out the post on here without much thought into it just from what the font reminded me of.

[Andre91]

Look at the font size and the spacing on that poster 🤣 of course it’s bloody fake. 
 

Not to mention the solid yellow, basic ass MS Paint background.

Nah it’s good man! I’m a bit of a font nerd so enjoyed zooming in on the pixels and running them through a font identifier 🤣 I think the new font on the R&L website is Trade Gothic Next, if anyone so cares…

[nathanh]

@roughbloke I see you are in here. Can I ask have you heard anything regarding whether theres 3 or 6 headliners this year?

[FeverDream]

Christ we need this announcement don’t we

Right now the most reliable source is we have is @roughbloke saying Eminem, Travis, Chappell (i dont know if thats the right order) but we dont know if thats all they know or if its reverting back to 3 headliners. 

I don’t know if it’s 3 or 6 tbh, however, I heard three and they are probably the biggest ones around.

 

Been some talk of post malone however I’ve heard he’s doing his own shows so make me think he’s not gunna be at reading. 
 

wish I knew more but unfortunately I don’t. Hope it’s correct!

3 is interesting after doing 6 but if it's the pull factor eg. '3 of the biggest around.' Surely I can't see Posty, Eminem and Travis tho?? Very rap heavy based if so.

I'm guessing they meant because the website says Thurs 21st - Sun 24th Aug, would it also say that on the poster?

We've always had 3 headliners, it's just marketed as 6 but Gerry Cinneman and Catfish did not head, they Subbed Blink and LG.

 

They aren't going to drop 3 or 4 selling points from the poster when the entire generation of kids going have only known 6 'headliners'.

 

It's not so much a headliner, as having a band logo at the top of the poster to shift a few more tickets.
