Never apologise for an Underworld post!

I can see Underworld playing, not sure about JP though.

only place i can see them really fitting tbh. not big enough to headline Other anymore but too big for any of the dance stages. maybe even West Holts? if Disclosure can do it then i don't see why Underworld couldn't

yeah i'm not sure they'd be able to pack the field out as much as they used to be able to, which is why JP seems ideal for them really

[jackarmy]

John Peel headliner up against Adele would be fantastic.

Thought they smashed it at Bestival this year!

You probably are right tbf. I had two JP headers in my head a few ago, can't remember one but Underworld and Editors makes two. Editors could probably be a sub now even tbf.

does the JP do dance headliners much?  i thought it was a bit indie for that, what with there being plenty of dance stages about.  i saw DJ Shadow in 2011 in there against U2, but he isn't strictly dance.  it's not a venue i bother with too often.

i could see Underworld doing a similar spot to Leftfield this year.

 

edit - did Groove Armada do it once?

Groove Armada have, and Hot Chip.

Underworld have done a Peel Session or two in their time as well, I think. Not that that's really important anymore looking at the lineups...

Its not going to happen but imagine seeing them on The Glade.

Totally agree, they would fit perfectly in a similar slot to Leftfield this year...and that was an awesome set!

New Order or Bloc Party? I think Editors would sub it.

I need Editors to headline against Adele, new album has grown on me massively. Might move to Belgium where they get the slots they deserve

No it's Bloc Party subbed by Editors in the JP on Adele night.

God, that'd be my wet dream.

It would be perfect, but they do seem a little too big.   I get the feeling they're just a bit too big for Glade - I can't be bothered to look at the sizes of their recent venues they've toured.  Anyone know if they've been playing larger gigs than Leftfield?

Even though it's unusual for such a dancey band to play, Underworld do seem such an awkward size for all the other stages that JP really does seem like a good fit, at least with the old tent, gawd knows what effect the refit would have.

They do have a singer after all, so perhaps they have enough crossover appeal to play JP?

[addicted2noise]

I think they're more likely to headline West Holts than John Peel.

[russycarps]

Other stage headliners or bust.

Or maybe sonic like leftfield did this year

 

[stuartbert two hats]

I just realised I got confused and thought Leftfield played Glade this year, which they obviously didn't.  Sonic would be shit for Underworld, you need a more traditional setup I'd say.

It was the defining factor in me not going to watch Leftfield, anywhere else pretty much I would have been there, shame really, could have been fantastic 

[jonodillieono]

Underworld are quite a bit bigger than Leftfield. I don't think they're big enough for Other headers but I suppose they could get it, if not they'd be fine on West Holts

[phillyfaddle]

Saw them at Camp Bestival this year, they were absolutely fantastic, but wasted on the vast majority of the audience (little Horatio couldn't sing along!). Too big for The Glade and probably JP too. Could see them go down a storm on WH though. Please :-)
