John Peel Stage

[Memory Man]

most of the acts mentioned in this thread are far too big.

gogol bordello, manics, chems, phoenix, ian brown and friendly fires would all be nailed on pyramid or other, and high up as well.

would like to see: Wild beasts (again, but they wont be touring most likely), factory floor, late of the pier (if they ever come back). As for headliners its hard to say. Tends to be reformed bands these days or ones on their way out (ash for example), there's very few new bands capable of filling the tent these days.

tough to call as well cos many possible headliners are interchangable with the park stage.

would like to see some real alternative acts in there though.

Saturday - The National

[sweet and tender hooligan]

They already did it a few years ago.

[blue6field]

Interpol for John peel or the park headliners!!!

[RichieSpenno]

Wolfmother?

[eFestivals]

Not exactly "New Bands" tent anymore

It never was.

It was a new tent for bands, not a tent for new bands.

[brian griffin]

like to see..

fri: example

sat: the rifles

sun: beastie boys

[Bort]

The Knife

[Homer]

Belle and Sebastian? Or are they more likely to be higher on the Other?

Interpol? Or again too big?

[robith]

I absolutely love two of the OP's suggestions but sadly Phoenix are unlikely as they've toured Wolfgang to death and seem to be winding down, and TVOTR are having a little break whilst their members rock their solo projects.

It's a toughie though - the JP stage is the one I always find the hardest to predict headliners for (apart from West Holts, but I think that's different because I EXPECT to be surprised by that stage!)

[teenageriot]

Sonic Youth

TV On The Radio

Interpol

I would lose my shit if this were to happen.

[In transit]

I'm seeing them this thursday at Hammersmith, cannot wait! and they are on Jools tommorow plus I keep seeing them on the big Levis posters around London, they are deffo raising their profile...should be big enough!

[teenageriot]

I always thought The Gaslight Anthem were criminally overrated. I didn't rate The 59 Sound at all, they weren't terrible when I saw them but their songs are just so middle of the road.

[Buglet]

Sonic Youth

TV On The Radio

Interpol

I really can't see them still being that popular, unless they bring out another album

After seeing them yesterday, I can for sure say they are more than ready to headline the JP, they were simply incredible,

here's what they played

[nufc1978]

FRI - the chemical brothers

SAT - ian brown

SUN - manics

[Festival Liam]

If Gaslight Anthem headling I will be seriously happy. Especially if they clash with Prince. Easy choice for me.

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Underworld

Primal Scream

klaxons

[ben.illsley]

I'd agree with Glasvegas being a good shout, as would Marling.

I wouldn't be suprised at seeing TV On The Radio either.

Pavement might be interesting too - providing they decide to continue with their reunion. Sort of arguable whether they're too big to play it or not, I mean, Ash did Headline the pyramid in the 90's, and they were playing JP this year.

[Vacant0]

Seems to be a lot of bands named in the last few posts that are just way too big.

[Bort]

Sufjan Stevens

[danny12345]

I'm going to go for Maccabees (new album due next year, much better suited to indoor stages) and Klaxons
