The National

It is looking like the poster is in order this year. Pyramid headliners followed by pyramid subs all in day order.

Then some other big pyramid names. Then Other headliners in day order. Then it goes all random. Not scientific but every time there's an announcement it fits. Which doesn't look good for @CaledonianGonzo and his Chic on West holts 

I remain unconvinced by this. Other headline not ruled out, right? KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.

In all seriousness, having them on the poster was a bonus so I can't complain...

You think they're gonna be in a headline slot? Looks like Ride are on at the Park, Bonobo West Holts, JPT... maybe...

I think so, based on nothing at all! Why are ride looking likely for park? they are buried in the middle of the poster. Or is this been announced?

JPT headliner was the original guess for the lips, but everythings gone tits up recently so who knows....

I cant believe I've been so caught up in all this stage panic, I've never been arsed before and now I;m on the verge of a nervous breakdown...

Thee only other headline spot up for grabs is Friday IIRC. Alt J definitely Sat (according to Neil) and BBK Sunday (according to EE in NME). That's not TOO bad for me, but surely horrible for you. 

FFS. I'm putting my ticket back.

On Mark Gardener's tour dates it has Ride playing 23rd. I don't know if it's a default first day of the festival because most of the dates are confirmed and the only other one, Benicassim, is one they're obviously playing the first day. Feel confident that it's right and it confirms the thought that they're Friday's Park headliners, ergo clashing with Radiohead.

The xx, the national Biffy are the subs on the poster in day order.

Oh, have we had info that XX are subbing Radiohead? I missed that if we did!

[nikkic]

So The National then hot foot it over to West Holts for The Jackos, then a night of blissful abandonment in SE corner.

What a time to be alive!

No but I believe it's looking like the acts are ordered on the poster as they'll appear, given recent comments about other bands and how it is all working out.

+ they liked a dude's post about hoping they're headlining the Park Stage for the use of strobe lights. Would be a bit off to give that fella false hope if they were on the Other Stage in the sun. Not 100% on either day or location but it looks that way.

If The National are between Katy Perry and Foo Fighters that is a pretty terrible placement...

Playing whilst Solange and/or The Avalanches are on West Holts, to a crowd of drongos waiting for Sprinty Dave? Feck off.

Aye it's a pretty pish turn of events to be honest. I'll still be there though, feck knows next time they'll be back.

All-time worst festival clash. I'm going to have to miss them. Terrible scenes.

[dentalplan]

I don't reckon Solange will start until afterwards but aye, missing Avalanches will be sore. On the bright side, whoever they woulda clashed with on Friday is fair game now; Andy Paak, Thundercat and Flaming Lips were all looking to get rolled over by that one.

Oh and First Aid Kit lol

I'd rather they didn't fucking book them in the first place than do this to me. It's messing with my head, all sorts of emotions.

[fightoffyour]

Isn't it possible that they're headlining above Radiohead cause they're just better?

I have only two emotions, careful fear and dead devotion.

Finally found the money to pay off my ticket and found someone to go to the festival with this year, so officially pumped for the national now 

[OddRon]

Do we have solid proof of where the national are playing now or is just continued optimism or fear

Fear of Saturday, Pyramid sub. Based on poster placement, and confirmation of The XX/Biffy Clyro's positions. (I think both of them, right?)
