i don't see him headlining. hasn't he stopped playing anything from his first album bar one or two songs in favour of playing his new album in it's entirety? not sure how well that'd go down really. would've said Pyramid, but he already did that in '13, so maybe subbing Other? possibly to Alt-J?

He's playing arenas on his tour so he's the size of an Other stage headliner. Saying that, I think he'll probably sub it.

I agree that he will probably sub, but I don't imagine why he would sub Alt J, or more so I don't see why Alt J would headline ahead of him

I can definitely see Ben headlining Other.

Did St Vincent say anything?

not that i heard but I think was a prerecord so would have been cut out even if she had

Yeah his new album isn't especially suited to the Pyramid. It's too different in tone to really play alongside most of Every Kingdom, so if you got too many people turning up expecting him to still be playing that first record in full - which you would on the Pyramid - then he'd get the sort of reaction which led to the Norwich outburst etc.

Other headliner against the weakest of the Pyramid trio please.

I'd say they're a similar size but their tours suggest he's a bit bigger than Alt-J. Alt-J headlining's just based on Neil getting info that they'd been offered an Other stage headline spot a few months ago.

It's too different in tone to really play alongside most of Every Kingdom, so if you got too many people turning up expecting him to still be playing that first record in full (despite it being four years old) - which you would on the Pyramid - then he'd get the sort of reaction which led to the Norwich outburst etc.

Yeah if he wasn't playing so little off Every Kingdom I'd have suggested him as a Pyramid sub. As you say, his set at the moment wouldn't work at all on there.

Zane signing off in his usual w*nkish fashion then

Zane basically admitted this himself after putting the question to Ben.

He seems to be definitely in "sign off" mode with bbc. He cursed at least a few times on air tonight. Quite enjoyed it tonight for a change

Folk singer-songwriter Lisbee Stainton, playing something called the PRS stage on the Sunday, who at the same time confirms that Seth Lakeman is playing Avalon the same day.

Added to the playlist.

Interesting. PRS have been partners in the Emerging Talent Competition for a few years.

Wonder if this is a new stage or if they are renaming an existing one?

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
