The Pixies..surely!!

[Lynsey Cox]

Supporting Kings of Leon (random) at British Summer Time on 6th July.  Surely another visit to Worthy Farm on the cards.

as posted in another thread, i don't see it happening again so soon after last time, but the fact that they're around and not (i don't think?) down as any kind of exclusive could be looked at at positive i guess. would love them to be there to make up for missing them last time which has haunted me since

Yeah I had them 3rd down on the Pyramid beneath Radiohead and Bon Iver on the prediction thread. Definitely think it's a possibility.

can't see them getting that high a billing after only subbing Other last time 'round. JP headliner (although candidates for that seem to be growing by the day) or another Other slot i'd assume if they were to play again

Yeah JP headliner is a good shout. Quite fancy Manic Street Preachers to take one of those slots with a new album coming out.

[Trout Mask Replica]

Pyramid sub for Radiohead would be immense.

 

[FloorFiller]

actually after Beck this year maybe Pixies being on the Pyramid isn't such a ridiculous idea. they've subbed Radiohead in the past and Thom and the chaps are big fans. they'd certainly get a better reception from a Radiohead crowd than Beck did from the Coldplay lot, anyway. Pixies > The xx > Radiohead would be dreamy

THIS!

[Justiceforcedave]

To be fair, they have also just released a new album and seem to be pushing it a fair bit. Maybe enough to nudge them onto the Pyramid?

[Hugh Jass]

Would they not sub the Foos? (other than it being rather awkward when they completely upstage them)

Didn't they last play the same year as the XX, who are nailed on for returning?

I know they are much more relevant than Pixies in 2016/17, but the Pixies do have a (good) new album to tour. 

Friday of:

Pixies

the XX

Radiohead

 

PLEASE.

Yes yes and YES Pixies, The XX and Radiohead would be incredible.

The xx played 2013 and Pixies played 2014.

This would be good, though. Had to miss them in 2014.

[Supermerv]

If Radiohead get to select their sub Pixies must be in with a shout,

to be honest that year was a nightmare clusterf**k as you had Jack White-Pixies-Goldfrapp with Manics and Robert Plant thrown in for good measure. Personally went for Goldfrapp Manics but it was a tough call

2014 was my favourite year

Same but Metallica instead of Goldfrapp. Couldn't believe that lot were all on the same day.

[TomViolence]

Jack White > Pixies > Mogwai. Mann that was fun (even if JW was a bit disappointing)

[FuzzyDunlop]

Can't say I am a fan of the XX, but Pixies into Radiohead would be perfect for me.

oh i went to watch Metallica too - I know it was nuts!!

[Odessa]

What a band to get in a support slot, fair dos to BST there. I'm seeing them next week for a 3rd time, they are outstanding live, pyramid slot would be a dream.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Robert Plant - Jack White - Metallica

 

Lovely stuff

[mungo57]

I was thinking about Pixies after seeing theyre doing Hyde Park.

Sub for RH or Other Headliner properly this time!

[gmb1992]

Pixies into Radiohead would be ideal I couldn't dream it better!! 

Fingers are crossed on this one

[dentalplan]

Nah. Way too recent. 

The new album's fab but they're essentially a heritage band and Glastonbury is kinda better than booking those on every album cycle. They haven't even changed bassist since the last show.

[shuttlep]

not a massive Pixies fan to be honest,

 

but i did watch Beck when he subbed coldplay, was a pretty empty field at that point. But he was good did the classics put on a good show.

 

I woudl watch the Pixies if they subbed Radio head I think the crowd would be bigger
