God its a dire year for festivals this year isnt it

If we get the line up we've all been guessing with bring me included and a stacked undercarriage of guitar. Fontaine, libertines, don broccoli again,  king of Leon sub lol all that would be reasonable aha

[OddRon]

Kneecap probably quite likely?

They were there last year I think, I listened loads but never made it to see them. Remind me of rubber bandits. But shitter lol

Apart from Slam Dunk, I think every single line up has been below par and poorly received by fans. Obviously I can’t judge Reading/Leeds yet.

Slam Dunk isn’t great. Just the same sh*t all the time. 
 

Bloodstock is where it’s at.

They're headlining 2000 trees this year, and considering they were there last year, I'm highly doubting they'd do so again.

Imagine if the best festivals are the 2 that happen in Leeds 😂

Would love this as an alternative to Travis Scott

Been really well received if you look at their socials, pretty sure the first wave of tickets sold out in an hour or so too.

If we get ANYTHING remotely close to what we are theorising it will sell very well because its the only one with the bigger names.

Travis scott, as much as I dislike the guy, unfortunately will sell out the festival alone, prepare for the most annoying and unexperienced crowd you've ever been in lol

That’s why we need a stellar alternative.

Get metallica back and make reading great again

Doesn’t even need to be anyone big, just something fun, either pop or guitar based so I can avoid the Travis crowd

Yeah I don't like Travis, and Eminem would do the same job. I just know we're not getting both and Travis is pretty much confirmed. We need a huge rock / heavish band as OddRon said.

Oh if only, my all-time favourite band!

Is definitely watch them if they were on, my dad liked them when I was growing up so they’re a bucket list band. There’s a video from T in the Park of Take Me Out and it looks properly fun.

Jesus Christ what is with all the Travis hate on this forum. He’s one of the biggest headliner they’ve booked in ages  and his performances are amazing. Some of you guys need to open your minds up to other music haha 

[charlierc]

I've thought Reading was about to be a post-rock festival for a while tbf where guitar acts become less frequent. Thought we might have been a few years from that but apparently not.

Tbf it's been a while since they were last at Reading.

 

2006, to be more precise, as a headliner with Muse and Pearl Jam. Very much different days indeed.

[Chad888]

interesting suggestions here - Scouting for Girls, Ting Tings ... Biffy are to poppy so will probably headline a tent.

 

A good one though, @Andre91 these haven't appeared in your predictions lately
