Stage Predictions 2016

[jackarmy]

or not reform and not play anywhere.

 

5 years isn't much of a gap for a "comeback" really, is it?

[FloorFiller]

or not reform and not play anywhere.

 

I truly believe James is done with LCD and they won't play again.

 

you're probably right, and it definitely doesn't feel like it's been long enough for him to change his mind about breaking up the band. guess we shall see in the coming months! pretty sure the guy who announced it also said the Coachella headliners were LCD Soundsystem, Calvin Harris and original lineup Guns 'N Roses, and it feels far too early for Guns 'N Roses to be active

[FloorFiller]

anyway, if not LCD Soundsytem in the Sunday Other headliner spot, then The Prodigy instead

[Mash011]

LCD rumours do seem to have gotten a bit carried away. I would be surprised to see them back so soon, but either way wherever they play I'll make sure I get to see them.

[thewayiam]

LCD Soundsystem wouldn't get the Sunday Other spot anyway, I doubt they would be above subbing it. They weren't that big over here, only ever made NME header at Reading.

Would be possibly an all time low for the pyramid stage aside from Kendrick and Tame Impala. Rest of the stages would redeem it a little though.

[theDandy]

It's all gone a bit V Festival with these predictions! Adele, Foo Fighters, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Kaiser Chiefs, Rihanna, Emeli Sandé, Coldplay, Ellie Goulding would all be considered an amazing V Festival lineup but surely all these topping the bill at Glasto? I know it's not about the Pyramid headliners but I'm expecting something a bit more leftfield and out of the blue

The Roots would like a word outside.

First person I've heard mention stereophonics and definitely think/hope they play!' I'd probably swap chic and Duran Duran around they if Duran Duran play think they would sub!

[Yokel Again]

There's a place for all sorts of music at this festival.... but Emile Sande?! Am I missing something here?

don't see how it'd be any different from the likes of Paloma Faith this year. reckon she's a shoe in for a Pyramid slot (probably the exact one dental gave her)

[Chris Lfc]

I would love to see royal blood again, those guys were great at rock wercher! hopefully they bring out new material by then too.

they probably will - they need to maintain the hype they've built up, and i can imagine having a year away would diminish that

I'd disagree. I think they've already been overexposed so another festival run next summer would probably even fail to interest their fans. I read that they're finishing this year off then working on album two, which probably won't take that long but they could do with a summer off to give people a rest and possibly headline festivals when they get back into action the year after.

[kingcrawler]

I'm expecting their next album to come out next Autumn then festivals in 2017. If they can keep up the hype then a small arena tour and maybe headlining R&L on their next album imo.

Disagree. They have deliberately not overdone their own touring. Only 1 Brixton Academy show in London for example. They could have done that venue for multiple nights but chose not to. Touring has been fairly light this summer too - only R&L and the Foos shows in the UK.

 

They shouldn't take too long off.

Haven't they played a couple of new songs at those shows too? 

 

Release one of those new songs as a single as they announce a new album next March/April and that'll see them through the next 2 Summers touring wise.

Yep agreed, didn't hardly play any festivals in the UK at all. Be amazed if Royal Blood are a sub on the other stage myself

Assuming you meant 'aren't' - that's where they'd have performed this year. Why would they rush out an album to play festivals next summer in the same position they could have done across the board this year? At least if they took some time (only less than a year) off, people would expect them to come back on a higher level.

Not necessarily, you can only base them playing Other sub off the fact they played R&L 3rd down but they probably only got that high because it was a exclusive deal and it was worth it to take that.

[Mash011]

Reckon there's a good chance Royal Blood will have another album out in time to play 2016. They've been working on it for a few months already and I can see them wanting to get it out in time to keep momentum going.

"As we hear it, the band will headline at least three high-profile music festivals in the US and UK, with an official announcement expected soon." Exciting stuff.
