Well he was talking about Primal Scream being a 'rock and roll' alternative, and then said the thing about guitar band alternatives, which I read to mean more than just an act that play guitars but fair enough. Yeah I used Metronomy as an example, not New Order.

They play guitars. They sure as hell aren’t ‘rock’ alternatives.

Happened at 2 of the last 3 festivals, possibly 3 of 4 if this year was similar to what we're predicting. Looks like it might become more and more common at the festival.

Ahh okay, I thought there was, but that might just have been the echo chamber that is this forum. So it happens, then.

Eh it p much happened on the Sunday in 2017, unless you count Metronomy which is a bit of a stretch.

Didn't Primal Scream confirm themselves to be playing Saturday night though, and there's also info that Charli xcx was headlining the JP on Saturday, so presumably they were subbing her.

Yeah p sure Manics were confirmed to be playing Friday, right? Here's how I see it. Fri Py: Kendrick Lamar OS: Fatboy Slim WH: Thom Yorke JP: Editors Pa: Manic Street Preachers Sat Py: Paul McCartney OS: Dua Lipa WH: The Isley Brothers JP: Charli xcx Pa: Caribou Sun Py: Taylor Swift OS: Pet Shop Boys WH: Kano JP: FKA Twigs Pa: London Grammar

No One Knows

I think it'd be pretty good, if I've got it right. Could stick around from Candi Stanton onwards for a non-stop party.

If Groove Armada are on the Glade then maybe there's a couple of other names on the poster that are on smaller stages. Not sure who, mind. Anyway here's how I could have seen the Pyramid shaping up with day splits. Again, apologies if I've missed any info and put someone on the wrong day. Fri: Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey, Elbow, Anderson .Paak & the Free Nationals, Kacey Musgraves, Rufus Wainwright, Imelda May Sat: Paul McCartney, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Aerosmith, Camila Cabello, Crowded House, The Staves, Herbie Hancock Sun: Taylor Swift, Robyn, The Specials, Diana Ross, Candi Stanton, Lianne La Havas

Possibly, or Wolf Alice like @kingcrawler said. Wolf Alice seem like an odd choice to omit from the first announcement, though.

Ahh fair enough. I had forgotten about Wolf Alice actually, you're right that they'd have surely taken up one of the slots.

I'm pretty sure AJ Tracey was already confirmed as one for Friday. Agree with Haim, on Saturday. Don't think Sam Fender is quite there yet, he'd have been 3rd or 4th down, same as Dizzee I think. AJ Tracey, Haim and Groove Armada is what I've got.

Possibly, but now that I've actually counted out the names (as long as I've done it right) and realised it perfectly fits with 19 names per major stage +3 acoustic headliners that there probably aren't any names on the original poster from any smaller stages. Would be odd if Groove Armada was the only name not to fit that trend. I reckon they were Pet Shop Boys' sub.

I think the remaining names will be split like this. Py: Kendrick, Macca, Swift, Diana Ross, Anderson Paak, Camila Cabello, Candi Stanton, Crowded House, Elbow, Herbie Hancock, Imelda May, Kacey Musgraves, Lana Del Rey, Lianne La Havas, Noel Gallagher, Robyn, Rufus Wainwright, The Specials, The Staves OS: AJ Tracey, Anna Calvi, Blossoms, Declan McKenna, Dizzee Rascal, Dua Lipa, Fatboy Slim, Groove Armada, Haim, Happy Mondays, La Roux, The Lightning Seed, Mabel, Metronomy, Nadine Shah, Pet Shop Boys, Sam Fender, Skunk Anansie, Supergrass Ac: The Waterboys, Suzanne Vega, Sinead O'Connor That's exactly 19 on each and the 3 acoustic headliners. Hopefully haven't missed anyone/added anyone already announced for another stage.
