Were primal scream? Orbital? Flaming lips? Phonics arguably bigger than those - the academy tour for new album is a choice not a necessity, I'm pretty confident of an arena tour late in the year which the above mentioned couldn't. I think there's a lot of mixing up of opinion and actual popularity with this band!

Have people who are suggesting Stereophonics for Other Stage headliners actually seen the size of the field? It's not like headlining the NME stage at Reading, you would need a genuine headliner sized crowd to fill that field. It would be empty of the Stereophonics headlined, would be a pretty ineffective way of splitting the crowd

Look this is a long shot.

But a friend of mine went to kanye's hammersmith apollo gig last night, and spoke to a few of the staff backstage, they said to him that apparently these are taster shows that will amount to kanye going on tour in the summer.

If he does a summer tour, will that make glastonbury more likely?

I'm still placing all my faith in Prince headlining Sunday, Mumfords are not whats required ffs, their brit performance was terrible.

I dont get it people, lets stop trying to put a positive slant on them potentially closing the

festival, if they do it'll be sh1t - you all know it.

If not Prince then Justin Timberlake (things I never thought I 'd say). His performance the other night was great, full of life and genuinely entertaining :)

    • Doesn't surprise me. West Yorkshire had a vote if they wanted a mayor in 2012 and voted no. The government then ignored the vote and announced the position anyway in 2016.

    • Also agree, it does feel that there isn’t much between the Mercury Prize and the Brit Awards these days.   This part sums it up for me “The complaint isn’t so much about the quality of the music, but more the disappearance of spaces for outsider voices in British music. With streaming algorithms feeling increasingly geared towards big names, and social media acting as a minefield, the Mercury’s pivot to the mainstream closes another door in the face of creative independence.”
