Kraftwerk 2017?

[aidenlangan95]

Touring the UK around Glastonbury time. 

 

Maybe they'll play? I'd say other stage headliner would be amazing!

I'm thinking they'd be a better fit for Silver Hayes, a bit like they had Leftfield this year and something similar last year.

Silver Hayes would be an option.

Also probably would mean I wouldn't see them. I hate Silver Hayes - especially that awful stage right in the middle whose name eludes me..... think its called Sonic but can't remember.

I wouldn't really think of a stage that would suit them in Silver Hayes, they played the King Tuts tent at TITP a few years back, while there was nobody there, the stage set up is pretty big for 4 guys standing at keys. John Peel/West Holts I would have thought, I don't think they'd be too popular though

Nah.  Other, W Holts or nothing.  If I had any hats left uneaten from statements like this I'd eat one of them.

Surely Kraftwerk are a much bigger name than Leftfield.

in standard terms I'd say Kraftwerk are a far smaller draw, tho I'm happy to agree it doesn't necessarily work that way at Glasto.

And I agree that they could be on WH or Other, but Silver Hayes is what I'm feeling for it.

[Untz]

I swear to god if Kraftwerk play and they're playing the goddamn Sonic tent I will slap someone.

I've been firmly in the Kraftwerk on WH camp for a while now. Just not the same night Bjork plays the Other Stage.

[FloorFiller]

WH or JP definitely - be absolutely wasted/an odd fit any lower, especially if they'd be bringing their 3D show, and they're not big enough for Other

[pie_and_a_pint]

They'd be amazing at West Holts. The sound was really excellent this year, and it always seems extra dark there for some reason, so the light shows are better.

[Avalon_Fields]

Way too small a stage anything less than WH in my opinion.

Another case of "I like this band so everyone else will" like LCD last year?

They've just announced a UK tour, of decent-sized halls but just halls. While I wouldn't claim that headlining WH was beyond them, other options aren't below them either.

[Cieran]

I honestly think Kraftwerk in Silver Hayes is laughable. It'll have to be West Holts.

can't see them going lower than JP. i'm not a mega fan by any means but i know they're still a huge act in their genre and will pull a pretty decent crowd. them doing something like Silver would be truly bizarre. they're a bigger act to Glastonbury than to TITP and they played the third biggest stage there (obviously not a great measure but surely bigger than something like Silver Hayes and more in line with JP)

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah I can't see anything other than JP or WH.

no chance, Leftfield play here all the time, and it was a glorified DJ set IIRC.

 

[Cieran]

I actually have a friend at work who believes they could headline Pyramid...

hey, you never know, I could be talking out of my wotsit. Someone laughed in my face at me posting about a year ago that Underworld could play in the Glade depending on who was elsewhere at the time.

Not the most ridiculous thing you've ever suggested.

Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes!

Definitely West Holts headliner, can't see them anywhere else. Only problem would be a clash with either Radiohead or Roses (booking them against DP would be odd).

I find myself in the strange situation of hoping Sheeran does headline one night just so Kraftwerk can play against him.

Haha yeah I'm similar. I'm desperate for Radiohead and Daft Punk to be there by I'm happy for the third to be Sheeran instead of the Roses as long as someone like Nine Inch Nails or Justice are up against him. I'd still skip seeing the Roses but I'd feel like I was missing out a bit - no such worries with Sheeran.

[Zoo Music Girl]

I'd love to see Kraftwerk. West Holts or nothing, I reckon.

yeah same boat as you. Sheeran would be a blessing in disguise if something like NIN/Justice/Kraftwerk are stuck up against him, although with at least two of those acts already seeming quite likely to have been booked for a stage headline appearance i feel the clashes building up already

Their last tour night is the Thursday so seems reasonable for them to play Saturday which is probably Sheeran night.

Sheeran/Kraftwerk clash CONFIRMED.
