Maybe they get a shorter sub slot so Foos can still do an extra long headline set on the Sunday? This makes sense to me. As Dave will no doubt explain on the night, he has so many hits. Kaiser chieftains would agree to this to get such a high slot. I predict a ladder gets climbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppetmark Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Kaisers were 3rd down on the r1 stage at t, they're not going to jump to sub. I could believe them being booked for the pyramid the same day as foos though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatyeti24 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 They're a perfect fit to sub the Foos, what with them both being acts I couldn't care less about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Well - there is that. Someone decent jammed in between the Kaiser Chiefs and the 118 118 man would be a worse scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that's a given. My comparison was that both them and Weller are acts that are more suited/perceived to be more suited to being further down the bill but got the bump to sub thanks to the influence of the headliner.

Here's hoping @wilem's mate is a big fat hairy lie-face Unfortunately Primal Scream had also taken quite a dip between their 2005 sub spot and their 2013 one but it still didn't stop them doing it. If it is in fact Foo and the lads requesting it to happen then it's always a possibility, just like the Stones seemingly got their way and The Who with Weller Definitely would've thought that, given the choice, Foos would've gone for Royal Blood instead though, so I'm still skeptical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mezhyp1 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 I'd say it's a rather appropriate sub for Foos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayiam Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 1 hour ago, FloorFiller said: My immediate reaction was 'bullshit' but the more I think about it the more it unfortunately seems plausible. Still don't think it's gonna happen, mind - given the potential for those sub slots Glastonbury will've dropped a massive bollock if Kaisers are the one they've ended up with, and I think it's far more likely that they'll end up lower down the bill. Even third seems far too high for them in 2017 despite them somehow doing an arena tour (if I remember correctly their new album did kind of shite and was a hilarious attempt to branch out in to a more pop market) I think the thing to remember is that a sub slot at Glasto now isn't necessarily a bigger one that maybe 3rd, it's the get the crowd going/hyped up fun before a headliner and whether is happens or not KC have enough hits to do it. It'd be a bit shit though after they got them to headline JP and open Other. Dizzle Rascal is the prime example twice over of being booked in a particular slot because of a crowd reaction pre headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisH Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Nah, I don't buy it. Source: I day dreamed it was Iggy Pop into Foos so I'm going to stick with that. Plus KC have fallen off the radar so spectacularly it'd be an embarrassing waste of a prime slot for the festival to get what most people now recognise as 'that man off the voice'.

With the whole fitting in 2 years of music into 1 narrative I can't see this being true. Neither do I believe all bands get to pick their own subs. Maybe the odd one or two, but I highly doubt Foos chose Flo and the lads themselves as sub in 2015, so I'm not sure why they'd get the choice now. i'd agree that it probably just means playing before them on the same day/stage, not neccassarily directly before them. i wouldn't put much stock in that "2 years into 1" thing, it's not like the quality and size of acts is going to double, they'll book whoever is touring and available to get this summer, same as every other year.

JoeyT Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Kaiser Chiefs aren't subbing. No frickin way. That's almost as up there with the Chris Martin / Gwen Stefani "supergroup" headline rumour a couple of years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a right shitshow if they took up a space given how many strong potential subs are around and touring this year. Every day I love them less and less. In each of those cases there was an act largely considered 'sub-sized' on before so they could well still get their space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
