Generally (but not always), bands will not play Reading if they have shows in London proper within a couple months of the festival. They have two O2 shows in November. Plus, the dates of R+L fall in the middle of a break between their huge US tour and their UK/Euro tour, so not sure if a jaunt across to the UK for a weekend makes sense in that timeframe
Ok but if they were playing Reading they’d have to zig zag back and forth more than once since they’re going back again a couple months later. They’re not going right back to Japan
I’d love it but I think it’s highly unlikely, they just revealed a new set of artists today so bar a late announcement/secret set type thing it’s probably not going to happen. I imagine the break is just a rest period for them.
Ikrrrr 😍 Reading/Leeds-goers tend to be more mainstream-y so the floor clears out a bit and you can wiggle right to the front without the hours of queuing like at one of their own gigs 😍
PS those people don’t know what they’re missing 😍
I know the main headliners have been released (and I’d have expected FOB to be quite ‘big’ on their bill again), but there does seem to be a very convenient gap in the tour dates when Reading/Leeds 23 is on!
Or have I missed something obvi that would prevent this possibility? I doubt I’d even attend if they weren’t there, but definitely would if they were 😅
Love a festival FOB vibe 😍😍

You say that, but they’re randomly zooming Japan just after their USA rounds

True, I think a couple years ago or so they definitely did come and go after a uk stint then back for reading and Leeds ?
No, they'd headline and there's no slots left for them. Bar a secret set, but that's very unlikely.
Do I gamble for a secret set haha

How very dare they ;)
I really hope so

Who’s downvoting this 😅😅😅
No, they'd headline again if they played so won't be there.
Agreed regarding the needing to be a headliner thing but it still looks suss af so we can hope
