Other Stage

[Guest]

Well, Chemical Brothers and Dizzee seem to be likely, according to eFests. I could see a CB-Dizzee double-header on Sunday, but they are both legitimate headliners if it does happen.

But what about the other bands? Pixies are touring at the moment (I'm seeing them tonight ) but we also have Pavement, who played one of their last UK shows at Glastonbury in 1999 - both could headline or, again, we could see a Pixies-Pavement one-two of alternative rock legends.

Other bands who you could see heading up, or playing near the top of, the Other Stage? After Bloc Party and Franz this year - two very strong choices - being used to balance Neil & Bruce, could we see other contemporary indie/pop figures at a counterpoint with more legendary headliners?

I'm sure I won't be the only one to say Faithless, hopefully same time as Rolling stones as I don't really care about them. Never seen them live but from what I've seen from their last glasto appearance it would be a brilliant way to end the fest

Also my favourite band Arcade Fire could do as well I'm sure.

Faithless are amazing, but I'm already seeing the Faithless Soundsystem twice next month (different friends birthday treats), and have seen Faithless 4 times in the past few years. I'd like to see someone different.

I'm hoping that TV On The Radio will play, absolutely love them. I think there's a good chance of Biffy playing fairly high up on the other stage.

Personally would like to see Pendulum kick out a full headline set, think they deserve one by now

Faith No More? played and blitzed both Download and R/L's. Also thinking Manic Street Preachers.

Some variant of the Queens/Lanegan/Vultures/Masters of Reality conglomerate.

Couldn't see Pavement headlining the Other, maybe they would headline the John Peel if they played.

Please no Manics!

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB!!!!!!!

Hell in my humble opinion they could headline the whole festival.

[LondonTom]

Franz Ferdinand again! (I am to jealous I wasn't at glasto this year for that performance alone!)

I think it need to give another indie band a chance to show they can put on a decent show, but I can't think of many who are going have new albums out that would be big enough/good enough to put on a show worthy of the slot.

Maybe the fratellis if they bring out something new (On their day there a great band, the headline slot at Hop Farm this year was aamzing).

[Toilet Duck]

I thought he preferred t.homme?

20p says the flaming lips to headline friday.

[Zacko]

The Cribs would be excellent. MGMT? Second album out soon, Eavis could take a risk on them.

I strongly suspect that Florence & the Machine will actually be on the Pyramid, about 3rd or 4th from the top of the bill.

Their Reading crowd was tiny, so it would be even smaller at Glasto..

I'm not sure about that - Reading (this year particularly) has a very high number of 'pop-kids', so it's not really surprising that there was a lack of interest. The audience is far wider at Glastonbury, so there's likely to be more fans.

Chemical Brothers - Libertines/Monkeys - Daft Punk/Faithless
