LCD Soundsystem....

[Mash011]

If they sub the Pyramid I'll probably go Lovebox as well. Want to see them in the dark with that headliner atmosphere - plus if they're subbing Radiohead as a lot of people are predicting then they'll be just a little overshadowed for me. Much as seeing my top two must-see bands in the world consecutively would be incredible, it might be a little too much.

Generally I agree they won't play over 90 mins, but it definitely isn't enough to get lots of new and old in there 

Especially as so many of their songs are over 6 mins

13/14 songs then? not bad really. 9/10 old 3/4 new? could live with that if they chose well

how about 12 songs, 3 from each album (i.e 3 from the new one and 3 each from self titled, SOS and TIH

Surely we get Dance Yrself Clean?!? :S

[Bradders]

The one I'm worried won't make the cut is Yeah.

[Memory Man]

agreed, love a bit of yeah!

They could do themselves and everyone else who sees them a favour by just never playing Drunk Girls, North American Scum and Daft Punk is Playing at My House ever again and instead playing more of their numerous good songs. 

Those three combined must add up to Freak Out /Starry Eyes.

Just listened to Sound of Silver (song) on full blast, how good is it? When the bass kicks in, bloody lovely!

Ahh come on, Daft Punk and in particular North American Scum are great.

[Morgs74]

Can I be controversial and ask what the big fuss is about Dance Yrself Clean?  It's LCD's most played on Spotify by a mile...

Don't get me wrong it's a decent song but it wouldn't even be in my top ten LCD favourites....

[Tuna]

Have you listened to the MSG version? It's going to be nuts when those notes get played out over the Other field. The prospect of that and Everything In Its Right Place are enough to send me crazy already. Two of the most goosebump inducing tracks in my library.

[Brave Sir Robin]

It also makes for one of the best flags.

It's a banger for sure!

The MSG version is fantastic, will be an incredible moment for sure

[arcade fireman]

They have to play Get Innocuous too, it's absolutely insane live.

That's as maybe, but far from their best in what will inevitably be a shortened set. 

Plus everyone who has ever seen LCD will have heard those songs before. 

Perhaps a fan vote could be in order, like Queens of the Stone Age did,  though I accept that's wishful thinking.

I'm clearly an obsessive maniac of a fan, so not speaking without bias.

BUT

Is it really, completely, madly out of the question they could headline the Pyramid?

They are literally on top of the bill at nearly every major festival in Europe, Coachella and also Bonarooo

It would certainly look a progressive/interesting booking alongside Muse/Coldplay/Adele/Radiohead?

[arcade fireman]

I love LCD but nowhere near enough people would know their stuff for them to headline the Pyramid. Had they carried on along the trajectory they were going and not had the break they did, they could have got to there maybe though.

Yes, pretty much.  If you look at the current headliners thread, people are arguing about Muse subbing, because they're only doing arena tours, not stadiums.  There are some very big acts seemingly in the running to play this year.  LCD just don't have the numbers, at least not at the moment.

My thought process

Hmmm people are making some good points about the LCD setlist being tight >>>>> What songs would I cut >>>> Yep, this 25 I have written down is too many >>>> 1.5 hours is stupid!! >>>>  Maybe if they headline the Pyramid they will get 1.45 hours, 2 more whole songs!!! >>>> Lets ask the group if its feasible >>>> Nope

[SwedgeAntilles]

A band's top track on Spotify is no indication of quality. That being said I fucking love Dance Yrself Clean

As a huge fan too, I obviously think they'd make fantastic headliners. Sadly for the both of us, Glastonbury has painted itself into a corner regarding the Pyramid.

It's an enormous stage in an enormous field and the punters these days are expecting enormous headliners,  the kind that generally fill arenas regularly,  if not stadia. That's not presently LCD Soundsystem.

Stil, the Other Stage is not to be sniffed at these days, unless as James Murphy pointed out when they played in 2010, that "it smells of human poo"

I'd be interested to see how Lovebox tickets are faring, I imagine it will sell out nearer the time, but I think they're probably less of a big deal in the UK than in the States. 

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I think Lovebox will sell out at some point in July, will depend entirely on the main line up I guess, not sure how big a draw to they are to the demographic that typically go to Lovebox - and I say that a someone that has purchased a ticket for Lovebox just to see LCD Soundsystem.

[LeeGalvin]

I'd really want to hear Get Innocuous and Sound of Silver! 

[Amy Lawn]

Great tracks, but I don't think they'd hold the attention of a festival crowd. The more immediate good-time bangers off SOS will probably make an appearance.
