2025 R&L Festival

[Lawsie]

Think we could see the return of Eminem. Would be 8 years since he last headlined in 2017 and has made a big return with his latest single. Would be a good time to get him again imo

Interesting. Considered going that year but didn't. Probably would've gone Foos as I'd loved them at MK Bowl the year before.

 

Justice, I'm not as familiar with but they've got a few good tunes. If I'd gone to Glasto this year with the pickings as slim as they were on some days, National/Justice up against one another would've pissed me off.

would probably be 50/50 between him doing reading or glasto as is normally the case, or not do festivals at all

Just watched Romy's Glastonbury set, Brilliant, the perfect headliner counter progamming on the Chevron stage when Foo Fighters play the main...

Know where Ill be

[Lawsie]

Are we expecting any secret sets to be filled where the '?' are on the schedule or have people noticed any other gaps where they could slot in?

Are Maneskin still a thing in the UK?

 

Surely not bigger than Idles in this day and age

Assume you’re referring to 2024 as opposed to ‘25 at this point!

 

Theres a couple of obvious gaps for smaller acts to do something on the bbc intro and one slot available on the FR, earlyish (as per clashfinder)

 

Assume Intro ones would be acts otherwise already playing, the FR could be someone looking for a bit of hype, can’t think of any obvious candidates though

Wrong thread, apologies!

We’ve just got back from Rock Werchter and watched Maneskin headline Friday night, not a huge fan of theirs by any means and only knew a few songs but they are definitely headline worthy. If R&L are to take a punt on someone next year, it should be these guys

Watched them at Rock Im Park and I agree with all of this. The UK tends to be more judgemental in terms of acts/music than some of the European festivals which is the only reason I don’t see it happening.

Maneskin absolutely smashed it at Glastonbury last year.

[wghennessy]

Maneskin are massive and very good live aswell. I do think they need some more material though but they have some absolute bangers.

[foolee]

And your first of “6” headliners is… Nailed on given a new album, size of the tour and the indie presence of Liam, Gerry & Catfish this year. Could also see Kasabian being one of these as well. 

 

Another prediction for next year.

 

Dua Lipa / Post Malone / Foo Fighters
Machine Gun Kelly / Kasabian / Courteeners

[Andre91]

Courteeners ain’t headlining R&L ever. Whether it’s 3 headliners or 6. They are a sub band for life. 
 

Also, I love how little London gives a sh*t about this band.

I think the London date suggests it won't happen

Yup.
 

Not doubting they’re a good live band, they’re not headlining a major U.K. festival though are they?

 

Rochwerchter etc is not Reading for a number of reasons…

[tomarchbold]

how likely do we think bmth is??

I’d assume they’d do their own shows before headlining Reading, assuming a new record anyway
