The Smashing Pumpkins

[Matt42]

yeah tbh those three are the ones i have in my mind - although the lack of a 'dance/electronic' headliner seems odd (i guess arguments could be made that New Order are 'dance', but not really)

The xx and Pumpkins seem very likely, and then possibly New Order but an electronic act could also fill that spot

[philly_eds]

I don't want the xx to clash with the stones because I really want to see both, I wouldn't mind if it was in this order

Smashing Pumpkins - New Order - The XX.

[Matt42]

This is so difficult... and the xx are huge enough to be an other stage headliner, they are subbing coachella and headlining pukklepop!

[howlin_pete]

I don't mind the xx on record, but god that would be a boring headline set. Has anyone here seen them live?

Started working on the next album this week so probably not about Europe again next year.

Surely...

Saw them at 02 academy last december, was not expecting anything. Only went because I like the music, didn't think they'd be able to pull it live. Can honestly say it was one of the best gigs of my life. As long as they have darkness they'll be incredible. Only could be bettered really by The xx into Sigur Ros!.

they're easily big enough to headline Other. if Panic! At The Disco can do it then The xx definitely can. they're arguably bigger than a lot of the Other stage headliners were at their time of headlining it, and they'll pull a massive crowd

[philly_eds]

Although they may be relatively big are they really bigger than Bjork,Pet Shop Boys,Prodigy,or any of 2011's headliners Primal Scream,Chemical Brothers or QOTSA?.

Probably not.

[LondonTom]

Yeah I don't think it's even so much size with the other stage headliners but more the crowd they will pull. More cultish/older acts with a really dedicated following I guess.

[neilloggie]

Exactly this.

If they were up against lets say the Stones, it would be ridiculous. Just an empty field.

Other stage headliners should have real pulling power. Acts that have been around a while, grown a strong following, and offer a genuine alternative to split the crowds.

Imo The xx are simply not there yet.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

Totally agree. A waste of a headline slot in my opinion. Great first album. Good to listen to in the bedroom trying to have a nap; or in the kitchen when cooking your spaghetti bolognese. The second album came out and sounds exactly like their first. The third album will come out and everyone will forget about them.

FUCK YEAAAAAAH!

[mr_monkey]

awesome, but subbing the other stage seems a bit low to me

[rexclark]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Azzy G]

SMASHING PUMPKINS?!!?! YES! Although personally too low down, hope they get a decent set length!

[SOAD]

SP vs Nick Cave = not cool. I'm gonna say this as many times as pos lol

[rhysieg]

was hoping on the pumpkins closing the festival for me....

[dentalplan]

First thing I saw when I clapped eyes on the lineup.

[SOAD]

Right I'm gonna guess that since we have had Vampire Weekend into Dizzee on Friday Pyramid before that it won't happen again so hoping:

Arctic Monkeys

Dizzee Rascal

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

The Vaccines

The Rolling Stones

Primal Scream

Vampire Weekend

???

Mumford & Sons

???

Elvis Costello

Kenny Rogers

Then Nick Cave and Pumpkins wont clash
