The Cribs to headline Other Stage Friday ?

[TheEpiphany]

i think they would maybe lose a bit of the show on the other stage, would rule the john peel though, tent would add to the atmosphere

[VCK]

To avoid a crowd control disaster they're going to have to have bigger headliners on Other and Jazzworld. Strokes could fit the bill though (though not my cuppa).

They're definitely going to need strong headliners on both the JW and Other to thin the crowds at the Pyramid.

I personally feel sorry for those bands headlining Park, JP, Dance, Acoustic etc. Not a hope of drawing a decent crowd with a 'big 3' on the 'big' stages.

Example last year - when Blur went off prior to their encore (seen enough - not a massive fan), mate and I nipped round to catch the end of Calvin Harris in the Dance tent - couldn't have been more than 100 people there. It was bizarre dancing like idiots to "I'm not alone" when clearly he almost was !!

Finally! Someone who agrees with me!

The only problem with that is although they are not similar bands I'd imagin The Strokes and U2 would attract a similar(ish) crowd. A big dance act wouldn't.

If I remember rightly it was '08 and the Cribs were up against Kings of Leon.

If The Strokes clashed with U2, I'd go The Strokes without a second thought!

Just thinking, Strokes Other Stage Friday, Rolling Stones Pyramid Stage Saturday......

That would be a winner for me!
