PJ Harvey

[russycarps]

cant find an other threads on her..

announced as a field day headliner. Surely this makes her likely for glastonbury at long last??

Other stage headliner, easily. Though I'd have her headlining the pyramid personally. She's comfortably the best female uk artist around at the moment.

But I could actually see her subbing the pyramid on the sunday, in the nick cave slot.

Couldn't find a thread devoted solely to PJ Harvey (apologies if there's one out there), but with her being confirmed on eFests as being at Field Day in June surely she's due an appearance at Glastonbury next year?

Whilst 5 years old now, Let England Shake still feels very 'relevant'.

Any chance of seeing her, do we think? Would you want to? If so, on what stage?

Admittedly, she's a contentious one, is PJ, for various reasons, I love her music though.

 

[Woffy]

Oh fuck. Russy's done one the same second as me!

[FuzzyDunlop]

I would definitely be all over this, but I think if she headlines a stage, it will be the Park.

third or fourth on Pyramid at best i'd say. previous Field Day headliners have headlined the Park (Metronomy), subbed West Holts (Caribou) and played fifth on the Pyramid (Patti Smith) so around those type of slots i'd say. don't think she has the wide appeal to really play any higher than that

I think you'd be surprised at how high she'd be placed. She'd easily get as big a crowd as nick cave did when he subbed the pyramid. 

And i'd say she's as popular as bjork, who headlined the other.

9 years previously though.

The other doesn't seem to have that type of act headlining any more. Disclosure are more likely.

They seem to want a Dance act.... Or Jake Bugg.

The 'Nick Cave Pyramid Sub Slot' seems ideal to me. 

She can frighten and confuse the camping chair brigade waiting to see the Headline dross on afterwards.

[SwedgeAntilles]

If it was 2011 I could see her subbing the pyramid on the back of Let England Shake, as it is I think a Park headline slot would be perfect. Would love to see her there. 

[FloorFiller]

she only played third in 2004 and, Let England Shake being a bit of a return to form aside (four years ago), she hasn't exactly grown in popularity. third down on Pyramid again at best. no way will she sub

I doubt that's going to happen now, not sure how he got it.

I think she's more popular now than in 2004. The mercury award gave her a lot of exposure.

Sunday pyramid sub. I'll bet my ballbag on it.

On a day when Cameron has declared its time for the UK to join the Syrian Airstrike Fireworks & Mass Slaughter Show, Let England Shakes is still very relevant.

[Avalon_Fields]

Hope so! If she was playing Glastonbury she'd be close to my strongest 'must-see' act, I've never seen her, was playing 'White Chalk' yesterday, must be serendipity. 

Rather see her headlining The Park than on The Pyramid Stage, but would see her anywhere...

One assumes that student didn't come up with a viable solution to your ballbag related problem then?!

[LEDZEP66]

I think she will headline the park stage. As much as I love her I do think her popularity has dropped over the years. John Grant and Goat and field day to, get them at Glastonbury as well, 3 park headliners

no! the lousy bum didnt reply  

I make you right about the current relevance of let england shake. That + her being female will see her being elevated to pyramid sub/other headliner I reckon. 

[Andy0808 v5]

delusions of grandeur.

not questioning her talent but she wouldn't get near the top of the pyramid. Agree with whoever said Park

[dentalplan]

If she could happily headline the Park then why would you want her to sub Coldplay? You just don't like leaving the Pyramid, do you Russ?

I think she deserves a more prestigious slot than the park, and the bbc coverage that would come with it. 

I like to think the bookers are not as swayed by record sales and radio airplay as some of the people on this forum...

 

[T-Mouse]

On merit, 100% she shoud headline the other/Sub pyramid. I just dont see it happening though. Park headliner makes the most sense. At push a WH headliner. That would be brilliant. 

[Hugh Jass]

She's a really tough one to place. What's her standing in comparison to Suede who headlined the JP last year?

Wherever she plays I'll be there.
