The Other Stage headliners

[godders1966]

I reckon its fairly close. The big dance bands usually draw decent crowds. And anyway I thought Underworld were nailed on for Other Stage headliners.

The big dance bands usually do draw big crowds. I'm sure the Chemical Brothers will draw a big crowd but Underpants aren't really in the same league. I would say that over 90% of Glasto punters don't know any other other tune of theirs apart from Born Slippy.

Can imagine underworld as JP headliners (like groove armada were)

i love the chems..one of my fave artists and ill undoubtedly go and n watch when they play but have been underwhelmed both times iv seen them...

my main qualm is the way they never let the verses of their lyrics play...they condense it down to repetitive techno snippets...out of control for instance they just play the snippet 'outta control' and dont let any of the verse play which for me makes the tune a hell of a lot better...the same with a lot of the other tunes...

Me too.

I think it's hard to argue that Underworld are as big as the Chemical Bros, but they are by far the better live act, so it is a shame, really.

Got to disagree there, whilst bloody loving both of them I thought the Chems absolutely killed it! whereas Underworld put on a really good gig, Chems every time for me =D

Underworld JP Sunday

sorry that this is completely off topic but this thread seems to be mostly discussing dance acts now so I was wondering, would there be any chance of daft punk turning up at glastonbury in the future, or appearing at any other festivals this year? Have they played glastonbury in recent years?

Thanks

I can see the Primal Scream and Libertines being pretty solid shouts, be a nice alternative to the proposed shit on the main stage. Although I would of thought it would of been Leftfields turn to do the Sunday dance slot. Now that they are back and doing a few tours. if not a Glade headlining slot surely?

Would be great to see them at the Festival, saw them twice last year and they was the bollocks!

[JC-Mo'Fucka]

Yeah leftfield for a jp headline poss, they completely are the bollocks

My first Glastonbury was 2002, where I discovered that I had a liking for the beep beep musics, on the strength of seeing Faithless and Kosheen again I went to Creamfields that year. That was my introduction to Underworld and to the dancing boy Karl Hyde, he has remained my hero ever since. They have never disappointed when I have seen them live, last time was the itunes festival at The Roundhouse last Summer. So I've waited nine years to see them at Glastonbury. I would prefer them outdoors, the Glade would be awesome!

In the same time span I've seen The Chems twice on the other stage and one dj set (which was amazing)and I would be more than happy to see them again, but surely it's Underworld's turn?

Primal Scream played the Pyramid before Basement Jaxx in 2005 if I remember rightly? No lasting impression of them playing at all, did I miss something?

Why not have Underworld on before Chemical Brothers for a good old Saturday night rave.

Everyone's happy and you'll be able to to do a direct comparison to who's best.

A nice antidote to SnorePlay on the Pyramid.

[In transit]

Mostly it was Bobby Gillespie having a go at the crowd for being a bunch of hippies...I followed that wiit Bright Eyes in JP, where he too spent half the night abusing both the crowd and John Peel...felt quite drained after it all!...

Personally it doesn't bother me. In fact I like it to be different to the studio version. At least you know they haven't just put the CD on!

[Filthy]

Agreed - I much prefer dance acts you try to mix it up live. One of the biggest disappointments ever was seeing Justice "live". Very clearly just playing CDs

[BoEsEpH]

Disagree, whether they're playing a Dat tape or not the live versions justice play are completely different to the album
