Them and the Hives would be great Other stage afternoon fodder

Expecting Santigold and Unknown Mortal Orchestra to appear.

Didn't know that was what had been said. I only come on here occasionally for this period of speculation between New year and poster drop lol. Too much bit ching to keep up with in some of the threads!

Belive Royal blood are conspicuously absent from supporting Muse on their tour on one date? Friday from memory. Think like the Black Keys their star has waned a bit though too. Know they were close with Arctics, as are Qotsa, but would be a v male 1,2,3 which is why I have Qotsa before GnR

Fair point! Was more trying to fit in that list of possibles but probably too many big names (pyramid/other sub level) to fit in. Left out black keys for same reason. Think it's safe to assume there will be plenty of female artists headlining other stages considering the all male headliners. Lewis Capaldi, Pulp, QOTSA, Prodigy, Royal Blood are all pretty strong rumours aren't they too? Lana del rey, Lizzo, Rosalia, Yeah Yeah Yeahs seem sensible alternatives to break up that hegemony.

Something like this, then? (pyramid, other, park, west holts, John peel) Arctic monkeys // Lewis Capaldi // Royal blood Lana del Rey // Jamie xx // Rosalia // Bloc Party // Gnr // Qotsa // Paramore Lizzo // Bon iver // Fred again... // Rina Sawayama // Elton // Pulp // Sam Smith // Prodigy // The war on drugs // Loyle Carner // Yeah yeah Yeah's //

That he's headlining JP... Can't remember where I saw it mentioned.

Haha I think if Neil is right about Jamie t then he is likely to be the Saturday... think there's info on primal scream Friday and charli xcx sun but could be wrong! Lorde is just a guess really

Do you mean live at the apollo? Because I'm pretty sure that was filmed and screened live (directed by Richard Ayaoade!) and was a fairly different 'take' on a live DVD which might explain that stylistic decision a little. Fwiw I think they're a very very tight live band with an excellent back catalogue. I think their 2013 set is excellent but I've also seen them and they've not held the crowd (eg Leeds 2009 just after Humbug came out). I'd be there and I'd have a great time but horses for courses.

My predictions so far based on what we know... sure I'm miles off with some of them but thought I'd have a stab

They were originally on the park lineup, I have them very faintly pencilled as the Sunday headliner but its almost a complete guess. Seems like Saturday Park will be avalanches, Big Thief and caribou. Friday there was some info arlo parks was subbing but I think that's all we've got. Sunday looks pretty empty info-wise which is why I've dropped them in there!

Nick mulvey Friday 8pm avalon. Probably a few more to fill in from that avalon announcement

Don't know where to start with this. The mental gymnastics at play... Just don't use the word 'cuck' to belittle people as its foul and carries dark undertones which I'm sure you don't support.

Sorry I shouldn't have dredged the thread up. I was just pretty appalled at this as the term has been co-opted by alt-right 4chan types and as such carries significant undertones which I feel should be avoided, particularly from a site admin.

I don't want to get into a semantic argument here but this word is completely inappropriate for a million reasons and if you don't see that then I fear its pointless trying to discuss tbh. You are intending to emasculate and deplatform a user from a position of power and doing so using what can certainly be considered an offensive and NSFW term. And you're an admin!
