@Jack Webb - Music Club Me and a lot of my friends are going to Reading for our first festival this summer, we’re all going mostly because it’s a week after we get our GCSE results so we wanted to celebrate and say goodbye to our mates that are going to different colleges. We all like the lineup but much prefer the look of last year’s one. Last year’s was full of artists that are popular with our age group (Post Mallone and the 1975 especially) while this year we only really have Stormzy that is popular with our age group out of the three headliners at this moment in time (although I love Oasis tracks and Rage seems like their gonna be entertaining to see). Thanks for the videos, I’ve learnt a lot more about the festival because of them

I’m buzzing, think they’ve got a really good mix of artists. Maybe a bit too much mediocre indie but Rage headlining makes up for it. most excited for Rage, Sam fender, IDLES and Declan mcKenna. It’s gonna be a good one

I hate how everyone that has a narrow minded one genre music taste is hating on the lineup, it’s a quality lineup and it’s packed full of great bands and artists all the way through the festival

As soon as I saw it this morning I was thinking wow jack is gonna LOVE this. Im so excited for all the same bands you are, Declan, Two door, Sports Team, Rage, Rex and omg Idles is going to be off the scale! Really looking foward to learning about all the acts that i don't know aswell

I’ve been looking forward to this video alll dayyyyyy

Solid lineup. Not amazing but not awful imo. R1 stage on Saturday looks fantastic. Also looking forward to Courteeners, RATM, Sports Team, Wallows and Two Door. Would’ve liked some more indie stuff maybe Wombats, Catfish or Foals.

Love this lineup

Buzzing to see LG, teeners, and Dec Kenna for the first time, two door and hunna are great live when I've seen them + lots of others but can't list em all!

i really really hope the yeah yeah yeahs are announced and make a return to the leeds fest, they’re my fav band and played a show in central park last year

I love it! a bit for everyone and then some. I do agree with some of the comments though, some of the indie is rather run of the mill, but the RATM day! I might have to make a trip down to Leeds.

Doubt I’ll go this year, just not enough bands/artists I’m into to be honest however some great names, I’ll still watch the wtf vids, wouldn’t be surprised if they changed my mind👍🏼👍🏼 happy for you on the lineup tho mate👍🏼

cant wait for WTF to come back - more than gassed for wallows, rage against the machine, sam fender and two door cinema club, although i feel like main stage saturday could do with a couple more big names

I’m going on the Leeds Friday and I’m most excited for Rage against the machine, Run the jewels, Slowthai, Idles, Ho99o9 and i can’t wait to see what else they have in stock

For me the line up isn't as great as last year but I am excited because there is a lot of acts who I have wanted to see but wouldn't want to pay to see them on tour. Plus I am so happy that I get to see rage live as I never thought that would happen

that stormzy/sam fender clash is gonna be a challenge

So jealous of the UK festival scene I would kill to see Sam fender at a festival 💕

Can't wait for your who the fuck series. A lot of acts I don't know so will be nice to get to know those ones better.

Rage against the Machine are the only interesting act in my opinion:/ shame - will be ending the 7 year Reading streak with a trip to Boardmasters

im so pissed that this lineup didn’t carry over.

There hasn't been a truly great line-up since 2010 for me so I'm not surprised at the disappointment of the rest of the line up, but a very strong set of headliners. Stormzy, the biggest name in British music right now, Liam who is one of the most iconic frontmen of all time, and then Rage who need no introduction. There's something for everyone there, whether you're a fan of rap, indie or rock.

In Poland we've got RATM concert with Run The Jewels as support SICK!

First time going to Reading this year.... any idea when the second release of artists will be released mate going off other years?..... We likely to get any more big names or not?

Sleeping with sirens and Stormzy is a sticky one, genuinely stumped

Mate i’m personally really not a fan of this lineup. I feel like they have tried to appeal to everyone and they have mixed up the genre of acts a lot rather than have an indie day, rock day and a rap day they have mixed it up. Think that the indie acts they have chosen just aren’t that great but i can see why some people like it! Good response video as always

Saw declan mckenna in ramsgate (100 cap venue) yesterday and he is such a fantastic performer. British Bombs is a fantastic song which fits with the seemingly very political theme this year

wtf s2 is gonna be greatttt!!!

iv wanted to see run the jewels live for longer than I can remember. I never would have guessed they were going as soon as i saw it i was like wtf

Gryffin is a great artist, been wanting to see him for a while but surprised R&L have booked him

Which stage ends last? what I mean is there any stages that usually stay open till 2/3am etc?

So so happy with this lineup for my first ever year, quite a few gutting clashes tho

I hate that AJ Tracey and RATM are on at the same time , will be a hard decision

I can’t wait to see a ‘who the fuck’ on JAWS. My favourite band around. I think you’ll really like them, for me they’re worth the ticket price alone.

Can you do updated WTF videos for the artists you have done in the past?

I think the lineup's incredible, i think people are hating them too much. I understand that people are triggered because they're loosing their rock roots but they're just trying to appeal to a younger and wider audience which they have to do because music changes over time

Dissapointed not to see BMTH, AGAIN! I still can’t figure it out why they’re not playing Reading this year.

Most exciting artists on the line up for me are rage, denzel, jpegmafia, run the jewels, idles, Danny brown and slowthai. Gutted for the probable denzel and Peggy clash tho

Can you do a video looking at reading across the years like comparing how 'big' the line ups are at the time they are announced?

I want to see the main stage headliners and the R1 headliners everynight so I don't know what im going to do, but its a good problem to have

I just checked Sports Team's insta and they confirmed that they are headline their stage and they are "gearing up for a big clash with Idles and/or Courteenets"

Whole announcement was very uk based. Reckon the next announcement will have more us based acts?

I love this lineup! Will be decent.

haha your excitement for this line up makes me feel bad about not liking it. Dont get me wrong...that sunday - WOW! but they are clearly booking now for the drug addled kids so as of next year it will be Slamdunk & Download for me instead of Slamdunk and Reading - and that breaks my heart. but im clearly too old for this festi now. My only clash concern is fever 333 and Rage! i find it strange that two bands quite similar and booked head to head. Fever should of been on whilst that whiney northener is headlining!

Who do you think is the very special guest on the bbc1 dance stage?

Holding Absence are fucking class mate

when do you thing the 2nd wave will come?

Really disappointed with the dance stage line up it was so much better last year. Excited to see the relentless stage line up for Leeds, that will have to be the redeeming factor for me.

that sports team / rage clash is horrible. but there are some brilliant acts on that lineup, my personal favourites being Stormzy, Two Door, Declan McKenna, Rage Against, KSI, IDLES, Gallows, Bloxx, SPORTS TEAM. It’s gonna be a fun year, obviously not as good as last year for me personally but it’s a good lineup and a lot of fun bands on there

if you dont know cancer bats you tube their cover of Sabotage - then just picture the fun you will have in that pit! or even just watching the pit. Saw them at slamdunk last year and they put on a killer show.

I need to know who the tba one radio one stage is going to be

Happy with the line up although I don’t get the billing, Gerry Cinnamon shouldn’t be that high on the bill, Hannah wants who headline the dance stage in 2018 is lower on the dance bill which I also don’t get? Weird line up billing this year

I think Declan Mckenna should be higher on the R1 stage, at least 2nd, he is so massive. Also up until today I thought that All TIme Low sang "All Time Low" by the Wanted, I was so confused why R&L wanted a bit of 'Year 6 Disco' on their line up 😂

Anyone reckon there may be an act between Gerry and Liam to be announced?

Courteeners are class

I’m so 50/50 at the moment the Sunday is sooooooo good but the rest is a little bit meh holding out for another better announcement

I really did not get the hype when I woke up and saw this. But after giving it a more in-depth look, you can see what they’re trying to do. On a different note - is anyone going to talk about how they’re apparently hiking the weekend ticket price up from £220 to £258?

Do you think there’s any chance that another American hip hop artist will join the line up

Sam Fender and Denzel Curry clashing. I’m gutted about that.

i'm so disapointed with this line up tbh

Spector's the best act on there IMO

Don't think i'll be going this year, with glasto wireless and rolling loud europe instead this lineup just isn't cutting it for me personally, knew it wouldn't happen but really wanted travis, only artists on their currently that I would want to see are Migos, Denzel and Iann dior. Another thing that i spotted is the plus special guest under migos

I'm not going to reading this year due to work commitments but I have to say the Sunday line up looks absolutely fucking disgusting I mean idles and then the mighty rage against the machine it sounds like shit is going to go down on that day as 4 Friday I'm not a big fan of stormzy but I do respect and that's coming from a metal fan that likes more aggressive rap music as 4 Liam Gallagher I've never been a fan of his or oasis stuff or his solo simply because I cant stand both of them but I'm going to knotfest a week before reading cant wait to see slipknot but im now wondering who is doing the support slots 4 that and when r blink 182 releasing tourdates it s been 2 long

MK isn’t Mark Knight it’s Marc Kinchen

Personally i think the main stage is pretty weak so far, (apart slowthai and two door) and that the dance stage could do with a couple more big names. But the radio 1 and festival republic stages are pretty amazing so far...

Absolutely gutted with the possible clashes with JPEGMAFIA and Denzel curry. The clashes with RATM, Idles and Sports Team also worry me. I hope that they don't clash but I think it's likely...

Personally don't rate the headliners... Do Radio 1 get a say in who plays their stages or do they just pay money to have the stage named after them?

Unbelievable lineup so far, not a clue why so many people are complaining. Gutted about Idles and Courteeners clashing :/

It’s missing the chats

I’ve booked parklife festival instead. Wasn’t fussed about the line up. Few names I’d like to see maybe a Sunday day ticket. No enough depth and no amazing standout. Apart from Rage-Against.

Marc Knight???.... Think you mean Marc Kinchen mate 🙈🤣

why do you have such a hatred towards LG, gerry and courteeners? this lineup is absolutely massive and so much better than last year

It’s quite funny seeing everyone get so triggered by the line up 😂 like wtf we got so,e decent headliners, and good other acts? Like sorry but this is just the first wave of acts, ppl just need to calm down

Jack I often agree with your opinion but saying this is the best trio of headliners since 2012 is disappointing

decent acts but the days are all wrong, too many clashes. dont think RandL realise people can like more than one style of music. I hope the headliners of each stage dont clash like last year. Needs 1 or 2 other names to bump it up a notch as well

Bladee shouldn’t be in pit

swear sports team tweeted that they’re headlining the stage- don’t quote me on it though

Been reading couple of times but this most shit line up I've seen in years they obviously spent to much on RATM you clearly tell it's basically a grime/hip hop festival this year apart from RATM disappointed

Possibly the worst festival lineup you'll see anywhere this year & certainly in R&L History. Disappointing to see someone with your credibility championing this lineup. For the first time in 10 years I'm not going - Migos & Gerry Cinnamon subheadlining? Gallows headlining a stage in 2020? It's all just so wrong.

Shocking line up imo, Stormzy is terrible

brockhampton where you at 😣
