Stage Predictions 2016

[mrf]

I would love to see Rancid play somewhere. 20 years since Out Come The Wolves and they are playing it as the album, that would be amazing!

My money's on Boomtown.

My money's on Boomtown. 

I hope not, I vowed never to go back there but that would be sooooooooooooooo tempting....

[Mash011]

No not yet but - not just idealism - I can't see another stage/place for them.

And to be honest I probably prefer yours as it has a load of acts I'd not thought about like The Hives, Wild Beasts, White Lies. But, talking of The Hives, I was gonna add an addendum that The Offspring play the 'The Hives slot' after the disappointing special guests.

The Offspring, shit as they are, would be very fun in that slot.

Too bad - you're uninvited!

[Mash011]

Too bad - you're uninvited!

To be honest I haven't listened to them in ages. Used to like them when I was younger. I just kind of assumed that they're shit.

don't worry - they are

Any reason why you wouldn't go back? I was tempted to give Boomtown a go

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong mindset! It tainted it for me, but that was purely for me.

Others looooved it, so definitely give it a go if you fancy it.

Seems realistic enough. Though Mystery Jets halfway up the Other Stage is bizarre and Twin Atlantic moving up two slots a year later off the back of nothing would be boring.

Just threw them in there like bands like White Lies have played recently. I don't really know anything about Mystery Jets except the odd song.

Twin Atlantic played this year? Fuck knows, I try to ignore them. If so, take them out. Just saw them being discussed on the "Acts touring around Glastonbury" thread.

Yeah they were this year's 'ha you were so chuffed to play the second stage at Glastonbury but we're gonna put you up against the legends slot so nobody even realises you were on site' act.

Yup I walked past while they were on and the crowd was tiny. Felt bad for them but for taking in their music on the walk past the Other Stage I felt pretty bad for myself too.

That Sunday at The Other would be a brilliant way to end my weekend.

[johnomatic]

Lots of people are suggesting a Guy Garvey/War on Drugs clash, and the idea this could become reality is making my palms slightly sweaty...

[kingcrawler]

I'm not sure The War on Drugs will be touring next year, I'd have thought 2017 would be more likely for them.

It's when there's a choice between Lionel Richie and Twin Atlantic on the two main stages that you can appreciate Russy always banging on about Glasters having gone downhill tbh.

Pretty sure Sam Smith has said he's buggering off until Adele's gone away again.

If ID are subbing R&L then 3rd down at Glasto main won't be happening I doubt but a very strong top 3. James Bay would sub Other now, PJ is a good bet. I think TLSP would be 3rd. TI could be Other sub but I can't argue with main 3rd either.

Obviously loads more to fill gaps in the day time but top 2-3 on each stage roughly where I'd guess at tis early stage

Editors behind The War on Drugs? Not buying that at all. Their Academy tour did really well, and they're still reasonably big. The War on Drugs aren't as big as the critical acclaim is.

They might not be massive but they're still bigger than Editors are, plus they're still on the rise whereas Editors are on the wane so they'd be bigger by the time a new album comes out as well.
