Other headliner?

[The Placid Casual]

Other headliner?

They're surely not big enough for that.

Third down on the other is more realistic

Sounds about right to me. They could headline JP too, I reckon. Didn't Neil say something about there being bad blood between James and the festival though?

Saw James at TiTP this year. Strong set list packed with hits, good audience engagement so agree they could play JP or fairly high up on Other or Pyramid. Not heard about the bad blood so perhaps not going to happen.

[South]

Faithless?

Good shout, as well as someone mentioning RyG earlier. Knew there must be some, but there's not many really so I guess WH isn't the proving ground for a move to Pyramid unlike the OP suggests appearances on Other stage are - seems a shame really as it would make acts on Pyramid more diverse (the like of Tinariwen also qualify for this as a WH to Pyramid cross over).

Tim Booth was quite ill at TITP as well, but still a quality set. Don't think Glasto like them anymore, think they refused to go on stage in 98 until after an England game had finished. It may be that or some other reason.

The band would be mad keen to play, tweet Emily Eavis until she gives in and books them!!

Can see Ben Howard doing 3rd spot if his album does well.

I reckon alt j will headline the other against FM or another 'old' act on the pyramid.

fourth down max for me.

There has been a friday hip hop act for a few years (I was unsuccessful on tday for 2013 but checked that years line up I use the word hip hop with professor green VERY loosely)

If it is going to be a regular thing - who is a viable this year?

Kendrick Lamar? Not a 'classic' hip hop act but will be touring and would get a massive crowd.

Alt-J would play third down, I think.

really? they wouldnt have been anywhere close to on a level playing field with at least two of this year's third-down Pyramidders even if the album had done particuarly well, which it didn't

Think Rudimental will probably get the same slot to make up for the weather thing.

Bit of an odd one, but how about Weezer? Saw them at a festival in Chicago a few weeks ago and thought they'd fit well at Glasto, just as dusk is setting in maybe. Can see them more on the Pyramid than anywhere else

[Mertesacker]

How about E L O? They just played Hyde park. They would be ideal

[Matt42]

fourth down max for me.

He's already played fourth down, so I don't expect him to return to the pyramid

I reckon he'l sub the other stage, underneath someone like Calvin Harris. He's arguably big enough to headline the other stage but I reckon it would work if he was under a very established act.

definetely in that awkward gap between fourth down but not big enough to sit alongside the third-down Ed Sheeran's of this world

unless of course the album explodes (entirely possible)

his ticket sales are always the strongest thing, sells out in seconds every time

anywhere at all would suit me though

[Sketchead]

Hope not. He deserves a headline slot on a smaller stage where he can cause a riot.

[Bisque]

Sam Smith.

John Newman.

Rudimental coming back.

Pendulum or headline Other if they bother to make a return.

Maybe The 1975 third down.

Kingsland Road.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I agree. Not sure some of his language is Pyramid-friendly either.

Possible West Holts? Or too big for that.

Kingsland Road.

who?

McBusted just announced an album, possible subs?

Id rather watch McBusted than the 1975

McBusted could brighten my day up by being secret Other stage openers. I reckon they'd draw a big crowd.

Course they'd get a big crowd. Their setlist would be a bunch of easy-to-sing pop songs that anyone currently under 21 has grown up with. It's just a question of whether they'd be booked (and they wouldn't).

Yeah I hope rudimental get another crack

major lazer were ridiculously good at Bestival so them and Id like to see the xx sub

Don’t care for them myself, but I think they’re deceptively popular, even if they don’t have a huge fanbase. The fact that they’re playing MSG says a lot, that’s fucking massive. They’ve still got one foot in the ‘indie’ scene but they also seem to appeal to people that aren’t really that into music.

[theDandy]

Other headliner?

I think they're perfect for an early (definitely sunny) afternoon slot on the Pyramid! Maybe even opening the Pyramid on the Friday to get things kicked off would be good!

[mr gumby]

Did you see Nick Cave last year? :-)

[Tr234]

Could The Prodigy sub like Pendulum did in 2011?
