Stage Predictions 2017

[Rose-Colored Boy]

They could always tell the Foos to stick the dodgy cover versions where the sun don't shine. That, coupled with the reduced need to play anything from Sonic Highways and a little less running around from Sprinty Dave, should cut the setlist down to something that'd fit in a two hour limit. Surely nobody wants to blow two and a half hours of Glastonbury on a single act anyway.

Sonic Highways

I always liked that Dave named the album after a hedgehog that runs around a lot, he can relate to that

Good shout from Gazza over in the Green Day thread about how it'd be a struggle to fit 8 acts on the Pyramid Sunday if they have both a 2.5 hour Foos set and 1.5 Diana Ross set to fit in. The bottom few acts already appear to get shorter set times in order to fit the legend in, so I wouldn't have thought they'd want to shorten sets even further.

Last few Sunday legends have been 70 minutes, so you've got 20 minutes back right there.

I think they'd just not allow Foos a 2.5 hour slot, but if they were really dying for one then yeah, they'd knock an act off the bottom of the list.

What with it being a tour specifically of festivals rather than as part of a larger run including their own huge shows, the Foos may well only be rehearsing a shorter setlist anyway.

R&L 12 was 2.5 hours too and I don't think there were any of their own shows along with that. Sure they always do shows of that length.

My guess is that Radiohead will be getting a 1hr 45 min set, Foos a 2hr set, and Ed Sheeran a 1hr30min set. Radiohead will probably end up cutting out Deck's Dark and Desert island disk and cutting down to a 20/21 song set and Foos will do their usual 22 song set without any encores or nothing.

[Mash011]

There's really no need for any of the headliners to play less than they usually would. Every headliner did 2hrs+ in 2009 (blur might have been very slightly under?) and they still fit in 8 acts a day.

Really only a 1 hr 45 min slot for Radiohead? They did a lot of 2 hour sets last year including some confusing two encore sections.

They've said that Glastonbury is a real spiritual home for them, so I'd expect a slightly longer set, surely, no?

hmm would add weeknd (who got a show on 24th in germany and next show 1 july in finland) and Gaga (due to her comments). If they somehow manage to also get Green Day it would be a really top heavy lineup.

[Untz]

That clumping of stages instead of days and acts in running order rather than headliner first really threw me off.

But, two headliners, no clashes and a lot of free time to laze around the T&C. Bonito.

The most productive thing I've done today is this line up prediction

Now that Neil is saying there isnt going to B-wills at G I would need another Park headliner. Any suggestions? could move Orbital to saturday but with Other having an electronic headliner I went with Friday

It's am almost impossible task...coordinating loads of bands that we don't even know are playing onto so many stages!

An annual treat!

Any reason folk seem to be hedging ATCQ for Friday Pyramid? I mean, I am very down for ATCQ-Iggy-XX-Radiohead as it will likely remove some clashes...

With the news today from neil that Saturday Other stage is 'Hippity Hoppity' - I would now place ATCQ on there. No idea if they would headline or sub or what. I always thought they were best suited to West Holts headliner, but then they have been announced as a Bestival headliner so who knows.
