Would love a bit of Interpol, Pyramid or Other would be good. Possibly even John Peel headliners? I'm not sure how big they are in this country? Assuming the headliners on the other stages are big acts then I think they could do it.

they were on before Libertines on a very hot late afternoon on the Saturday of '03 if I recall correctly. they weren't great, but solid. Michael Stipe was watching from the side of the stage. They've fallen back a bit in popularity, so can't see they garnering more than a late afternoon/early evening Other Stage slot, no later than 7 pmish, esp. on the 40th anniversary year with supposedly big acts playing

i was sure i made an Interpol thread a month or so back when i learned of their new album and plans to tour this year.

i love Interpol but have never managed to see them live so would love for them to be there, as for their popularity waining i don't think that's the case they're still as popular as they ever where it's just they've gone off the radar a bit by taking a break.

as for people who claim they are dull live, their kind of music and style doesn't lead me to believe their performances will be some kind of energetic affair and a more laid back chilled out performance, why you would expect any different after listening to their music is beyond me.

I like Interpol's look and sound (to a certain extent) on record. But live they just don't shake my tree. Last time (at Oxegen 2007 methinks) there was only bout 2000 watching them on the second stage there and I'd say 2/3 of them were just there to hear "Evil". Only my opinion but "Slow Hands", "PDA" etc etc just don't come over that great live.

The Strokes arent the best outfit either but you have to admit their first album is a serious piece of work.

Seriously, what am i reading? Interpol are possibly the most underrated band of the moment. The consistency of brilliance on all 3 albums means they should be held in much higher regard.

Seen them live a few times and they are spellbinding. Glasto would be very lucky to have them - just a shame they won't be in a headline slot that they so thoroughly deserve!!

If Bloc Party can headline the Other last year, then surely Interpol would more than carry it in 2010.

I'd love them to play and I thought they were great at Latitude, you don't have to jump about to be a powerful and memorable performer. Buuuuut I do reckon if you didn't know any of their songs you might not exactly get swept away with them based on a live show. I think they're a 'listen to albums first' band and then you can appreciate them live...

But don't get me wrong, I love 'em!

I agree. I love them but live there is something missing with them.

Wrong wrong wrong! My love for Interpol is mostly to do with the perfection of their timing from soft stuff to hard fast stuff. They lack this ability live.

      Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.

      👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.

      2027 Headliners

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha

      No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
