Maybe not but Glastonbury's big enough to find crowds for everyone*. If you had say, Plan B below the Roses (he was one of their supports at Heaton Park) and Bon Iver second on the Pyramid below Example, say, that would give the crowd the churn that the organisers like (using Saturday in 2010 as an example)

* Last year there was a point where Elbow, Friendly Fires, Pulp, Janelle Monae, and Noah and the Whale all overlapped and there was enough crowd to go around

Thing is though I would only put out of them Joanelle Monae is the same boat as Elbow. NOTW in the same boat as Friendly Fires and Pulp completely on their own.

Myself for eg, I like one, maybe two songs from NOTW, but also like nothing really from Friendly Fires, I don't really like Janelle or Elbow (one song maybe), but I like Pulp. Whereas a few m8s of mine are the opposite in these bands. So from that, I can see why there would be enough crowd.

I think.

The Stone Roses

Plan B

Tinie Tempah

Daft Punk/The Prodigy

I'm only pointing out the size of the acts there and that I don't think performers at Glastonbury need to worry too much about who they clash with given the number of people in the vicinity. Also, while you personally don't find much cross over between them, among people I know/was there with that was clash city!

Having watched them at Latitude, i'd happilly have Bon Iver as a headliner, they were incredible

I've heard they (him?) were superb on The Park stage a few years ago, but I saw them at another fest a couple of months later and they were as dull as dishwater, sleep inducingly boring.

    • No dramas man, I just like to follow others journeys as well. Get the inspiration, give out inspiration and the outdoors is the clear the head place to do it. I'm heading out for a easy trail run today I think, 10k- 10 mile we'll see how we go. I've got a half marathon in October I'm well unprepared for hahs
    • The Cheap Thrills at Mountford Hall, Liverpool.    They've been around for a while and have built up a large local following. Last night was their biggest yet, at a sold out 2,200 capacity venue.    It was a big old joyous, indie singalong from start to finish, the band clearly having the time of their lives. The debut album is out next month and they seem to be going down well on the festival circuit, maybe their time has finally come.   2 supports, I unfortunately missed Credits but the few songs they have on Spotify sound good, Americana vibes. The other was M60, reportedly Gary Neville's favourite band. If that's true, he's as clueless about music as he is football. To be fair, their sound was poor, maybe with a clearer sound they'd have been better but it was pretty dull.  
    • I can see them all merging along with the Tory’s . Restore curently couldn’t muster enough candidates to be a viable option . I lasted 4 mins and couldn’t watch any more . Lowe is just dull along with racist
