2025 R&L Festival

[TownNation]

What I'd like the headliners to look like:

Muse x Chappell

BMTH x Post Malone

Eminem x Biffy Clyro

 

What we'd probably (kinda unfortunately) end up with:

Wouldn't mind that from a personal standpoint. I'll say what I've previously said in that their 2017 performance at R&L is what made me an absolutely huge fan of there's and would jump at the opportunity to see them again. Are we kinda guessing Travis / Muse / Chappell?

I am guessing Travis/Muse/Eminem with Chappell somewhere in there

[craigcharles420]

Muse and Chappell would go very well in a strange way. I can't really put my finger on why but it just makes sense

[OddRon]

Yeah I’m not putting Travis and Central Cee in my prediction because I want them there…

2 VERY strong headliners personally and the pull Travis will have I can't deny as much as I don't like his stuff. That would be the strongest in years.

2024 was the most fun I've ever had at a festival with all the wind at Wetherby like 😂 but yeah, Blink was BY FAR the standout for me last year, but I have some from like 2011, 2015 and 2017 that long stick in my mind, I need one like that as it's been a while 😅

 

I'd do Eminem closing the festival, BMTH on the Saturday with a rock-ish type day and Chappell on the Friday, maybe alongside Post Malone or something? Heavily balanced day-splits and overall for those attending the weekend. Would certainly sign me up!

 

I'm lucky to get extremely discounted tickets, so I'll go anyway. I just don't want it, as you lot are saying, to be mainly all rap, and wireless 2.0

It was very funny, walking around at 7am on the Friday and seeing a tent about 200ft in the air somewhere over orange camp was a memory I won’t soon forget 😂

 

It was the first year I’ve worn a coat in the arena but it was a good laugh. In hindsight, wearing a black puffer jacket and bum bag at a festival was a poor choice, as I explained to a lad asking me for gear.

I am convinced that Travis, Eminem and Chappell will be there but there must be a rock headliner somewhere. If not Muse then BMTH, or maybe Foos didn't collapse at all and they're still on

I’d say Foos are out given that R&L are usually later to announce things than anyone else. We’d have heard of Foos playing somewhere on the continent by now.

LOTS of controversy if it's Foos but as once said, controversy creates cash... my personal list would be BMTH followed very closely by Muse (so I'd be damn happy with either) Foos last.

[OddRon]

Muse top my list of beloved bands from when I was younger where I’ve not enjoyed their output since and I’m not willing to pay to see just them. 

[craigcharles420]

Muse still put on a phenomenal live show and the set will focus heavily on the classics anyway. Having seen them loads of times, I wouldn't go to a festival just for them, but they go some way to selling me on it if there are other acts there for me

I don't think there would be any actual controversy at all with Foos

[OddRon]

Feel like the controversy came from him actually admitting it! Maybe because he presents himself as quite wholesome nowadays.

They can also only book what is available. Foo’s were booked as the big rock act and had to drop out so they might not have been left with many rock replacements. 
 

Final prediction from me: 

 

Eminem x Central Cee

 

Bring Me The Horizon x Chappell Roan

 

Travis Scott x Hozier

Take this. Make it 50% shitter add Kings of Leon and we probably close. But I'd take that as is. Kids are gonna love that. And its up my alley. Add posty special guest get everyone in arena by 2pm

[VCK2]

With the festival supposedly trying to return to its rock roots, I just can't see a trio of Chappel Roan, Travis Scott and Eminem.

I think we are in with a possibility of having the strongest lineup for 2025. Big statement but the bar isnt very high. 

Download has Sleep Token headlining, so that is easily the strongest line-up

[tomarchbold]

my final predictions:

 

Eminem // Central Cee - Becky Hill

Post Malone // Chappell Roan // Hozier (special guest) - Camelphat

Travis Scott // Chase & Status - Jungle

[marinotarino54]

 Kaytranada is the final chev headliner x

Last couple of years. BMTH were touting is as a rock lineup in 2022 in interviews and last year was very rock and roll on the headliner front. Maybe last year was a one off though.

mate ive got literally no reason to believe anything you say considering not a single thing has been true

 

heard robbie williams is headlining all 3 days, MCR on the bbc introducing and a greggs sausage roll is doing a secret set

 

oh sorry forgot the x 

[OddRon]

Is there any big guitar bands that are “friends of the festival” that would potentially do a one off show to replace foos?

its been confirmed the annoucement is thursday night, meaning annoucement of the annoucement tomorrow yes.

 

a tiny bit of critical thinking, anyone can come to that conclusion.

 

if everything youve 'leaked' turns out to be true, i will take it all back - but currently your track record aint great buddy
