I've never understood the XX really. The only song I like is 'Intro'. Fair play they are popular but I just don't get it. If they play, I'd imagine Other headliner - don't they have this thing about playing in the dark?

The XX work because of Jamie XX and he can create tracks that get the best out of the vocalists.

Quite frankly In Colour blew away most of the songs created with the band.

XX and Gaga Bestival headliners I reckon.

Gaga defo aspires to headline Glastonbury one day.

This new album style of hers suggests shes aiming for the big outdoor festival vibes.

[Tartan_Glasto]

Lady Gaga is one of those people I'd like to see live but wouldn't necessarily pay to specifically see, so I'd be happy if she appeared on the line up.

[siweltrebor]

I can see The Weeknd, Two Door Cinema Club, Slaves, the XX all at Glastonbury.

If Gaga does indeed end up playing hope we also get something from Mark Ronson, Kevin Parker etc, though sadly I don't think Tame Impala will play two years in a row after a sub headline position.

The Strokes for other stage headliner or subbing someone like Stone Roses?

Two Door Cinema Club played last year on Pyramid. Dunno if I can see them playing again, tho I hope so cos I missed them due to clashes.

I could see Two Door going back to get their chance at headlining Latitude next year but I don't think its a stretch to see them about 3rd or sub on the Other maybe

this thread reallly is up and down like a rollercoaster.........from musical nirvana....stone roses/radiohead to `what the fuck would they be thinking` with the xx and lady gaga? I really hope its the former!

Yes, the producer and keyboardist.

In Colour is definitely better than the second album but not sure about the debut although the best songs are still the ones that feature the other band members. Be interesting to see if they play them on the next tour.

Depeche Mode have called a press conference for the 11th of next month, in Milan. Hopefully it is details of new album and tour.

They really do launch their albums with a touch of class. Will probably be exactly the same questions though that were asked at the Delta Machine one in Paris.

Did not really expect any news till next year so this is a bonus.

know why he calls himself Jamie XX? As you can tell I have no interest whatsoever in them  but I am nevertheless interested in why he wants to call himself that lol

Because his name is Jamie and he's in the XX?

I dunno, just a thought

lol probably. I suppose I should have asked why are the XX called the XX?

Like I said, I have no interest in them but I just wondered as to me its a bit of a rubbish name really.

I'm quite happy sticking to music that doesn't send me to sleep

This is like having a conversation with a 3 yr old who keeps asking stuff like"why's water wet?" and "what's eyes made of?"

Does the XX stand for KissKiss?

I got approached by a group of four in the park while waiting for someone before Sharon van etten came on. They didn't believe a text they'd just got. I told them it was true and had been all over site all day. They didn't believe me cos if I knew why would I be at the park. 

'Cos Sharon's done more than one good album and is still writing good stuff now' was not really appreciated. They ran off anyway just in case so sure they had a good time. 

Obligatory "we let these people vote for Brexit/the government".

Is Jamie XX in any way related to Charli XCX? He's certainly not as good as Charli XCX, I expect that's why she has an extra letter.

Lady Ga-Ga's Glastonbury "special guest" warmup gig is going to be the Super Bowl halftime show in early Feb apparently...

My thoughts exactly. Hope it happens!

[5co77ie]

Lady GaGa has been confirmed as half time entertainment at the superbowl, have we had any other Superbowl acts other than Coldplay?

 

I'm wondering if some Chinese rumour scenario has had her confirmed to appear at the same event Coldplay did - and people assume it's Glastonbury, rather than the Superbowl

Lady Gaga was odds on for the superbowl this year ever since last year's. She sang the National anthem and the Americans bloody loved it.

Edit: When i say year, I mean season.

Had a few U2, Rolling Stones, ZZ Top, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney , The Who, Bruce Springsteen, Beyoncé , Black eyed peas.

 

Also if rumors are true we may get Diane Ross who has played it 

[thewayiam]

So is Elbow, RB and Gaga thought of as the 3 potential subs?
