Nowt wrong with Gaga. I normally detest pop music but I'd definatel go see her, she'll put on a hell of a show if she plays. I'd much rather her that some boring toss like Radiohead. There, I said it. :P

Lady Gaga & Arcade Fire would be awesome <ok>

Not a massive fan of Gaga's music (its not the worst Pop going around at the moment though), but she'll no doubt put on an amazing show.

Has Prince been mentioned yet? Or is not 'big' enough to headline anymore?

I guess Coldplay will be on the bill somewhere again...

I know Michael has said he already has the acts booked, but there's still a long way to go. Some relatively obscure band could go stellar in the next few months and end up headlining.

Anyway, I spent too much time at the Pyramid last year and am looking forward to more time at the smaller stages next year. Other than The Stones, Metallica (and I can't either of them doing it) and The Cure, no-one being mentioned would get me to the big stages.

Having said that...

Hobo for The Pyramid!

Using those acts I'd rearrange it to:

Radiohead

FATM

Chase & Status

The Stone Roses

Noel Gallagher

Daft Punk

Lady Gaga

Plan B

The Vaccines

Although I don't think The Vaccines are big enough for that slot. I could see The Black Keys or Jack White playing there.

Forgot The Black Keys, and yes you're right. The Black keys Other Stage headers same time as GaGa, fit the kinda rock act that they had play Glasto with QOTSA last time on the Sunday.

I do think the Vaccines may well be big enough for it though with a new album by next year although i would say moreso subbing, and they could do that to any of those other stage headers.

I don't think Plan B there as it's literally one place up from last time and I think to play that stage again so soon, it needs to be at least another day, but I can't see it being Other Stage. I think Plan B could sub The Stone Roses due to the fact they are at a Heaton park show this year.

If it is Noel under The Roses then I would have a stab at Example or Justice below Daft Punk.

So to read as this for me from yours.

Radiohead

FATM

Chase & Status

The Stone Roses

Noel Gallagher

Daft Punk

Justice

Lady Gaga

Plan B

The Black Keys

The Vaccines

But I do think Plan B needs to change day, but I do also think that Chase and Status, Daft Punk and The Black Keys are the closest as a guess for Other Stage as it gets. You'd not rule out putting Mumford in there at least 3rd from top main either.

I don't hear him say The Rolling Stones but i guessed people think that from the saying the headliners are predictable?

To be honest, I think The Rolling Stones are less predictable than radiohead, roses and gaga. two of them are huge admires if the fest and vise versa and i can't see gaga turning it down. but if they got radiohead, roses and rolling stones, it's possibly the 3 biggest headline acts a fest has ever got.

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
