I dunno if they blew *everyone* away two years ago........

I screwed up my timings with RTJ in 2015 and arrived just in time for their set but way back in the crowd. Much further back than I wanted to be. It wasn't the raucous party back there that it looked like in the front, but everyone I could see was very into it. The beat change in 'Oh My Darling' had West Holts erupting.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Run the Jewels is the answer, your question is "what's poppin' (provided you're down the front and mad wi' it enough to not gaf about the muddy sound)?"

Yeah, underwhelming at Glastonbury last time..they were however fantastic at Reading the same year so I'll be front and centre for a third time.

Saw them at Paris Pitchfork in 2015 and they were astonishing. Was also one of the weirdest gigs I've been at as I was pinned near the front and this American lass in front of me kept grinding on my crotch. I spent a good proportion of the set wondering whether it was impolite to ask her to stop or whether it'd be impolite to let her carry on incase she thought I was someone else.

A very British approach to sexual assault.

What's the general consensus for where RtJ will play? West Holts? Will they headline? 

[Alex DeLarge]

Their Reading set was a revelation, one of the best hip-hop shows I've ever been to.

I reckon they could headline it. I know Aphex Twin is the big draw but they're billed as headlining Field Day so they're probably just about big enough for it. 

That said I agree with the idea they probably wouldn't be booked for the same stage so soon after last time. I'd hope for John Peel but Other/Pyramid seems more likely

Pink Cigar appear to have self confirmed. http://www.facebook.com/PinkCigar/

No, I haven't either.

Edit: They appear to be rock'n'roll by numbers. I might go and see them.

if they're on WH I reckon they'll headline.

But I do have my doubts about WH, cos I know that as a general thing that stage struggles to rebook acts that have since hit the big time.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Budgetary concerns aside (although acknowleding that they're probably the main ones) RTJ seem to be one of the few contemporary acts in the mix that are WH sort of sized and in keeping with the vibe.

A headline line up of, say, Chic and The Jacksons looks a bit better with RTJ than it would with Grace Jones or Jamiroquai.

But it probably is all about dollar dollar bill y'all.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Volume of self confirms starting to increase bodes well for some sort of wider announcement.

Apparently Warpaint have self confirmed themselves as Park headliners for the Saturday night.

[the wonderwhy]

I'm assuming that's from their gig last night?

Might drag me away from FF that. Where did you hear this?

[musky]

Someone met them last night and posted on FB.

Someone at the Birmingham gig met the band after, and was told. I don't know him personally, so it could be a wind up, but it seems genuine.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's certainly unexciting enough to be plausible.

Nice - seems a realistic slot for them.

If true, there's me missing Foo Fighters. 

[FloorFiller]

Had totally gone off the idea of them headlining the Park after pitching it for ages due to the new album not making much of an impact at all, but there you go! One less clash for me to worry about for sure - I like them enough but don't want to end one of my nights with them.

[zahidf]

Run the Jewels would prob be John Peel headliners or 3rd from top other i reckon
