Other Stage

[PAH030]

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

My moneys on D.rascal, Chemical Brothers and Orbital.

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.

[olly!olly!olly!]

Maybe Stereophonics could headline it one of the days, they arent as big as they were and are touring quite a bit nowadays.

[Singularity]

Faithless/Daft Punk would be awesome sunday night headlines

[jbutcher]

Vampire weekend,

Pixies.

Arcade Fire.

[jackarmy]

Friday: Kanye West

Saturday: Stereophonics

Sunday: Chemical Brothers

[rexclark]

Daft Punk or The Flaming Lips would be utterly amazing. I could see The Flaming Lips play but Daft Punk is very very unlikely sadly.

[shoptildrop]

Faith No More? played and blitzed both Download and R/L's.

[shoptildrop]

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

[shoptildrop]

Standards must be slipping...

[calumtom19]

Spot on, I was at Leeds and the tent for Faith No More was only half full, but they were up against KOL who got by far the biggest crowd of the weekend, most of which were looking forward to two songs!

Faith No More at Glastonbury would be a different proposition, you only need to compare the crowd for someone like Nick Cave at Glastonbury towards the sparse turn out at T in the Park to see that the corporate festivals are attracting more and more 'pop-kids'.

Last year at Leeds for Faith No More was the final straw for me, I've had enough of it and think I'm attending the wrong festival for me so I'm making my debut at Glastonbury this year.

[shoptildrop]

Aren't we forgetting something Neil...

I thought you said Glastonbury dont do big Heavy bands/Eavis fears fatalities?

[Bort]

Bring back Bat for Lashes! Would also love to see Feist and Broken Social Scene.

[TheSeventhOne]

I don't think Faith No More would stir up much of a mosh pit.

[krisskross]

Could see florence doing the opening set on sunday. you need 2 albums to play in the top 4 slots realistically. *can see this flying back in my face a bit too quickly*

Friday: Kanye West

Saturday: Stereophonics

Sunday: Chemical Brothers

seems pretty likely. Mebby Basement Jaxx / Portishead not Kanye, after having prodigy, massive attack and groove armada in the last 2 years.

Weird, ive seen 3 complete headline slots on the other, 1 in the park and 0 on the pyramid. Going to have to change that this year.

[lanuit]

I would put The Cribs out there but I think they might still be more JP than the Other Stage.

I would absolutely love to see Biffy clyro headline the Other stage, they were amazing in 2008 when they headlined the JP stage but something worrys me that they cant keep the atmosphere on an outdoor stage, i hope im wrong!

[thegremlin_1999]

As a totally left field suggestion how about metallica. Ok, they're huge but their average audience isn't a glasto goer.

I've heard people say that the other field will hold upwards of 30k which'd be more than big enough for their audience amongst glasto goers.

Stick em against a coldplay or the like and it'd cut it down too.

And there's not so much action down the front for them as other heavy acts. I was down the front row for Leeds 08 and for their manc show this yr and had no issues. Also cause the other field is flat it would be less 'dangerous' than the sloping pyramid stage.

Finally, they said they wanna play before, and they're an awesome live act even if u ain't a fan!

Told u it was a leftfield idea but still I reckon it'd be amazing!!

[GlastoEls]

Faith No More - yes please. Superb band - and not that "heavy" really. Lots of loungey/funky songs along with the rockier stuff.

Would be a really interesting spot for them at Glasto.

[she bangs the drums]

I understand the whole safety issue but bands like Metallica and Faith No More don't really have circle pits and wall of deaths and are certainly no worse crowds than say bands like the Cribs and Prodigy who play at Glastonbury.

I can understand them not booking the likes of Slipknot or Lamb of God and I know Foo Fighters have been rumoured to play over the last few years and they have much more lively crowds than Metallica and FNM.

Possibly Libertines? To quote Pete "With Carl or without"
