Hate how R1 always puts the lineup out in alphabetical order as opposed to the order the acts are performing. 

There's a poster out now that looks like the running order.

It's still alphabetical. They're just listing Jake Bugg and Iggy Azalea by their last names for some reason and the number 1975 listed instead of the "The".

Would imagine The Weeknd and Chase and Status are subbing as well as Tame Impala and Last Shadow Puppets for second stage.

Slightly different order to the list announcement. Only thing is that they announced OneRepublic as opening the main stage on the Sunday so we're no closer to knowing the running order with this poster.

Always find it silly that the second stage is named what it is when the likes of Biffy, BMTH, Craig David, Panic at the Disco etc. have been around much longer than most of the acts on the main stage!

You can see both Biffy and Coldplay I believe, last year I recall Jamie T finishing before Muse.

Yeah the INMWT headliners have finished just before the main stage headliner the last couple of years so I guess that'll stay the same this year given there's more main stage acts than INMWT acts.

Yes jess was always going to be a shoe in for it. But having listen to radio 1 for the last few weeks here are my predictions of who will be playing.

Muse will headline as well, Adele a special guest appearance playing a handful of songs for a Glastonbury warm up plus kings of Leon, alt J, Megan tranior, slaves, catfish, little mix, last shadow puppets and of course Annie Mac with Pete tong. 

I am gutted I only predicted three acts that are going to play! And only 4 acts on the line up excites me them being coldplay, jake bugg, iggy azalea and last shadow puppets it is a good job I am not going even though it is on my doorstep!

Noticed that Mumford and Sons, Rihanna, Tame Impala, The Last Shadow Puppets, Biffy Clyro, Jess Glynne, James Bay, ELO and Stereophonics all have appropriate gaps in their tours/festivals for Big Weekend.

 

Don't think Justin Bieber will do it as I think he's in Canada then.

Predicted Mumford, Tame Impala, TLSP, Biffy and Jess Glynne

A Wolf Alice and CATB clash would be awful

[foolee]

Panic at the disco will be lower down due to headlining slam dunk in Birmingham on the Sunday 

[Stuart1000]

They let slip a few of running order this morning when announcing:

 

Nick Jonas is opening Saturday Main Stage followed by Megan Trainor and Tom Odell.

Iggy Azalea is on before Coldplay (in a bizarre piece of placing)

OneRepublic are opening Sunday Main Stage followed by The Weeknd.

[Pothuthic]

Glad I went last year instead of this year  although jealous of One Republic, Coldplay, Jonas, Trainor and Years and years, huge meh to the rest

Kygo on the Main Stage at all is ridiculous, I'll need a lie down if he plays above The 1975

I'd assumed that KYGO and Sigma would be doing a DJ set in between other acts. In 2014 they had other Radio 1 DJs doing them but this would give them the ability to add an extra act onto the bill without having to miss out on any others.

Don't know where to place him as I only really know one song. He has a higher position than the 1975 at Wireless so used that as a guide. Pretty ridiculous that he's a headliner when most people only know that one song.

Indeed. Almost makes you yearn for the days when Jake Bugg taking up sub spots seemed ridiculous.

When will we find out the actual running order of acts per stage i wonder. I agree its frustrating just to have the line up in alphabetical order so far

Probably on the lanyards on the actual days :-(

[NickisGinger]

Maybe there is some special people still to be announced, which could explain why it's not in order...yet.

[Pothuthic]

I believe the poster last year was the running order.

[mcbain55]

Izzi Bizu and Blossoms added to line up amongst others today. Happy with that

The introducing stage is tiny though, like the size of a shed, will be necessary to get there quite a bit early for Blossoms I imagine 

[the wonderwhy]

Assuming this is the running order?

Looks like it, some of the order looks messed up but it's big weekend so I reckon it's all correct.

Saturday sorts itself out quite nicely, though will probably go bbc introducing while Fetty Wap/Bastille play and maybe when Flumes on as well.

Biffy clashing with The Weeknd sucks. 

Don't understand the Ellie Goulding/Alessia Cara and Skepta/Kygo clashes as I would imagine they'd have the same audiences.
