Muse/LCD/Sigur clash will, who do you watch? Cards on the table 

Muse

I've seen Sigur Rós so they'd be my last choice. I only know like 5 LCD songs but I like them a lot and wanted to get fully into them and see them at Glasto.

Would have probably missed Muse for Kendrick if he'd been Friday Other.

you'll have an amazing time!

They're such a great band live it's hard to remember that James did a lot of the tracks by himself on the early records. Movement always surprises the hell out of a lot of people

[Wooderson]

Friday is the perfect night for them.

With the predicted line-up thus far, it really is only LCD and the Bowie tribute that I'm getting particularly excited about. Please, put us out of our misery Eavii... announce them!

As much as I loathe the Other Stage, it's going to be impossible to miss this

Correct. Has the potential to be truly special.

YIRSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

When is the new material out? I must admit my enthusiasm is tempered somewhat by the thought of hearing the same old songs again, and, admittedly, by having watched SUAPTH many times. 

A few new tunes available pre festival would work wonders.

don't think he's given any indication of a release date - just that new material is in the works. having never seen them live i'm totally up for a 'greatest hits' set but can understand why others wouldn't. hopefully we'll get something new beforehand - Coachella in a month so maybe something before then?

Ah Coachella, of course. That would be an ideal time to get new stuff out I suspect. Fingers crossed.

Why do people dislike the other stage? How is it different to any big stage in a field anywhere?

You just answered your own question there.

So people dislike every big stage at every festival?

I dislike the Other far more than the Pyramid

The wind swirling really is a big problem with the Other. It's pretty much a write off for reasonable sound if you're behind the line of the mixing desk. 

Plus when it shits down, the Other stage field really becomes one of the bleakest places on site. It could be a warzone

I've not seen many acts there, and never had an issue with it but I've heard people on here saying the sound isn't as good as elsewhere.

it's just a bit of an atmosphere vacuum - feels like you've been transported to somewhere like Reading/Leeds, not helped by the fact that most of the acts who play on there are your typical Reading/Leeds main stage fodder. but saying all that, when an act gets it right it can be totally magnificent (Chemical Brothers last year are a good example, and i've heard nothing but good things about Portishead)

I don't know. But in comparison to many of the other stages/areas at Glastonbury which often have a bit of personality to them, the Other is a bit 'gig-in-a-field'. It could be anywhere. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

I think the Other is the stage that feels most generic festival-y. I don't think it's a bad stage, just doesn't have the same personality as the others (pardon the pun).

I thought thought Ben Howard, Jamie T and the Chemical Brothers were brilliant on the other stage last year. I can imagine if youre stood towards the back the sound wont be great but its never too full that you cant easily get towards the middle.

This. 2015 was my first Glastonbury and even then it struck me with this 'meh' feeling, when compared to watching something on any of the other stages. Generic is the perfect word, right down to the usual bog standard festival stalls and large bar running down the side. Though by the time the Chems came on and darkness had fallen, it didn't seem to matter too much. Had some great moments there mind, Frank Turner especially on the Saturday morning.
