Primal Scream

[elfimaju]

I hear from a pretty reliable source that Primal Scream are going to headline the Other Stage on the Friday night doing their Screamadelica show - yawn! The whole world will have seen it by then won't they?

[The Nal]

Surprised they'll be allowed after their last performance. Not only did they get kicked off stage but the pre gig TV interview with Mani and the Jagger/Richards wannabe was a mess too.

Great gig though mind you, a total mess. I was in tears laughing.

Sounds about right, people claiming Arcade Fire or other such high profile acts would be put on the Other Stage vs U2 was laughable.

it's your take on things which is perhaps laughable.

It's necessary for 'high profile acts' to be performing on all of the other stages when the day's main headliner is on stage, so that the crowd is split around the site and not causing a dangerous situation at any one stage.

Yawn schmawn, gets my vote over U2 any day of the week.

[Guest blackcockerel]

They'd be perfect Other Stage headliners.

I understand that and agree with what you are saying, which is why acts like: Primal Scream, Flaming Lips, Pet Shop Boys, Franz Ferdinand have headlined in the past, as they will draw a large, but not dangerously large crowd to the field. I believe if an act like Arcade Fire at their present status were named as Other Stage headliners, the crowd they would draw could create a dangerous situation.

the numbers to see them when headlining Reading last year suggests different, but I recognise that they'd do better at Glasto.

But the simple way of doing it is this: Are they as big a draw as U2?

Not a bleeding chance - they'd be very lucky to get an audience that was 1/4 of the size as U2 will get.

I almost expect them to be there, but I'd prefer to see them in John Peel - and I don't believe they're too big for that

A Screamadelica set will create a bigger crowd then Groove Armada

[ivan]

I saw Screamadellica back in Nov at Earls Court , a pretty good show.

There will be plenty of people that will be willing to dance to a seminal drug album than be preaced at

by a bloke with a dodgy back.

And after a whole days drinking and partying , what a better come up then come down on t'Other Stage

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

dammit, I'm really not a fan of the other stage

[The Nal]

Brilliant stuff. I wouldn't be surprised to see 'em back though, Eavis loves them and wasn't put off by 2005

I'd prefer it but I can't see it, especially a Screamadelica/greatest hits set like they have been doing. I've been at TITP twice when they've been playing the King Tuts tent which I'd say is roughly the size of the JPS and each time they've had to close it off due to overcrowding. Now I know it's Scotland but Glastonbury has twice the punters, along with the draw of it being 'Screamadelica' they might need a bit more room.
