Doing Saturday according to his label website.

Please can someone who is likely to headline a smaller stage play Sunday headline slot otherwise currently known as the 'Kasabian death slot' and have the common decency no to clash with Pixies. *I think I'm jumping to too many conclusions here*

Oh bollocks! Pixies clash? Or playing one of the bigger stages earlier?

Sunday night is looking a bit bleak headliner-wise for me this year again. I guess Massive Attack but not over-excited by the prospect.

[Mardy]

bigger stage earlier. Other, i reckon

Well that doesn't rule out Park Headliner :-)

[CaledonianGonzo]

His sizeable popularity probably does, though.

[stuartbert two hats]

JP headliner maybe?

[CaledonianGonzo]

He's more at that level than Park Headliner for sure - but still probably a bigger deal than last year's headliners like Hurts.

Is JP headliner a bigger slot than Park headliner then?

Think so. Crystal Castles headlined Park in 2011, released a decent album then headlined JP in 2013.

Bear in mind, these bookings were probably made a while ago. Hence James Blake is headlining the Park, where as I'd have said a BRIT Award winner would be more suited to a larger stage.

I think Saturday Park headliner ladies and gents. Which is shit. Pixies vs John Grant. Shit.

[stuartbert two hats]

It's the James Blake thing that makes Mr think that they might book him anyway. Surely James Blake is the bigger name now and was when the bookings were made. The Park just seems like the best venue for the *music*.

Metallica / Pixies / John Grant clash would be awful for me.

When the line-up first got announced they were 3 must see acts.

I'm sticking with Mardy's theory. There's no real basis for him headlining Park other than that we all think it would be nice.

Pixies v John Grant would make my mate weep. Have to say I'd be tempted Grantwards.

Hmm, I reckon he's one of the Parkiest acts about.

Parkiest Ulf!

Damning. And accurate. Surely daytime on the Other is a worst case scenario, musically speaking though. They wouldn't would they??

I do know what you mean. Would be ulftastic. Just not on the Saturday please!!

Stuartbert - not daytime so much as early evening? Sunset maybe? His light show was pretty rocking at Roundhouse though.

[suzie sue]

Hoping for second or third on the other

[DJL]

The other seems like such a waste... but i'm not sure if i'd see him as a headliner as it would probably mean dumping my mates for the evening.

[Osama Jim Laden]

Park is perfect, love to see him there,

[Brave Sir Robin]

My lawyers will be in touch.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!

And lawyers from the Universal Love Foundation - http://www.universallovefoundation.org/ - will be in touch with you. To give you a big kiss.

Disappointed he is playing the Park TBH. Never really seem to enjoy gigs up there too much. Maybe this year will be different. Also with him playing second from top trying to get to the Pyramid for the start of Metallica could be a bitch/impossible ...........

Really? I've seen some cracking performances up there. It's my absolute ideal stage, although I did prefer it in 07/08. When/what did you see there that didn't work for you?

[ThomThomDrum]

The ones I kinda remember are Laura Marling, Radiohead, Pulp (actually not too bad tbh), and Rodriguez..........cant think of others at the mo

I always seem to get a crap view/no view and Im not small and it aint a flag issue. Also some of those gigs suffered from sound issues from were I was

The Park as far a gigs go just has never done it for me.

Sound like they're all after 08 - does that sound right?

Think Marling was 08?
