RedJosh Posted August 30, 2024 Report Share Posted August 30, 2024 R+L have sent a quiz out for free tickets for next year and it asks about headliners and non-headliners for next year. Very interesting who they have listed as headliners and as non headliners. I'll get some screen shots and post in here before I complete it sans my picks.

From memory, the 5 headliners of my choice I put down were: The Strokes, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Chase & Status and Green Day. From their list, I selected a few of the above and then Tyler the Creator and someone else I can’t recall. Other acts to play, I put my own choices as: IDLES, The Streets, Sabrina Carpenter, Little Simz and Chappell Roan. From their list of other acts, I went: Limp Bizkit, Deftones, A Day To Remember, KoRn and Bloc Party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it really interesting how many acts were both in the headliner and non-headliner pool as well as the sheer volume of metal and alternative acts.

I would love to be proved wrong, though. A Shikari set on the Chevron at night would be unreal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an option against a big dance headliner on the main… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfa Posted September 1, 2024 Report Share Posted September 1, 2024 On 8/29/2024 at 4:12 PM, Benj said: The non 6 headliner format sold out many years no problem, it was the change to 6 that failed! They can mix and match now, like they did when they regularly sold out, prior to the failed two main stage experiment. There’s no need to have 6 any more, reckon we’ll see 4/5 like we did 2014-19 when it sold v well… I think they want 6 to justify the much higher ticket prices more than anything - reading has gone up way way faster than most other fests Also to sell these £200 day tickets you clearly need two headliners 3 hours ago, CG31 said: Tame Impala Chevron tah Far too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The increase between then and 2021 was £20 (33%) It think they’ll deffo try and get 6 big names, I don’t think they’ll shy away from not, if they have the likes of AM etc… who will sell a day on their own no worries anymore They very much shied away from the “six” verbiage in the main this year… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyrhodes24 Posted September 1, 2024 Report Share Posted September 1, 2024 Final note re: 2024. There was an awful lot of people wearing BMTH merch at Leeds, and not just on the Blink day. Most common t/hoodie by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw quite a few KoRn tees over the weekend which was cool. Totally random but I saw a dude in a Morbid Angel tee on and nerded out with him for a couple of minutes.

I like NBT but I think they're more at a Truck Festival or Y Not headline level than getting elevated to satisfy Reading's co-headline thing.
