Stage predictions

Here's my go at it, feel free to comment

Friday:

Main Stage:

Coldplay, The Vaccines, Electric Light Orchestra, Sam Smith, Damien Rice

Other Stage:

Beck, Royal Blood, Modest Mouse, Ride

Royal Blood are busy, IIRC Damien Rice is too? Don't think Sam Smith would sing lower than ELO either :)

Here's my go at it, feel free to comment

Friday:

John Peel:

Hot Chip, Marina & the Diamonds, Django Django, Jamie xx, Wolf Alice

All of these would be more likely for the Other I think :)

Royal Blood are in playing European festivals on the Saturday and the Sunday, they could definitely play the Friday. Damien Rice is playing Werchter on the Saturday, and Down the Rabbit Hole on either the Friday or the Sunday, so he could well show up, but it's unclear whether it'd be the Friday or the Sunday

Sam Smith clearly doesn't know his place then. If Ben Howard can play 4th in 2013, then so can Sam Smith this year. ELO certainly won't play lower than 3rd

The thing is though, I already have acts on the other stage ;)

Please can someone explain to me why there are so many people saying that FATM are pyramid headline options.

I like them and know they are big in Europe but don't get this at all..

Headlined Latitude & Bestival, subbed Reading & Leeds, two number one albums, handful of top 10 singles, sold out arenas...

Why would you say not, matt?

Widespread mass appeal. Not too niche. Big album sales. New album pending. Track record of headlining. Adds a female demographic to a headliner list - not as positive discrimination, but always seen as good for balance.

I'm not in anyway a fan, and would certainly not watch a Pyramid set by FATM, but her/their appropriateness as a potential headliner seems indisputable to me. Mumfords less suited?

Looking at these potential line-ups for the first year i'll be checkingthe other, park and west holts headliners before pyramid when it's announced. If i can get chemical brothers, belle and senastian and hot chip respectively i'll be beside myself. A three way clash would then get me annoyed that i'm so disintersted with everything (rumoured to be) on the pyramid...

Beck, Hot Chip on friday would be brilliant.

Motorhead - Death From Above 1979, then leg it around to the Pyramid for Iggy Pop and the strokes, then to the SE Corner woud be an award winning saturday.

Chemical Brothers would round off the weekend nicely.

I'd happily take that

I think our plans would be very similar! (Though I'd see JAMC before heading to the SE corner on the Saturday)

I believe The Jacksons are a uk festival exclusive at bestival as well Zac

The efests article didn't mention it but okay I trust you :( if that's right then stick Dizzee Rascal as Saturday sub, for he does love taking an unjustified sub slot at every other Glastonbury, and Paloma Faith or someone before Flo.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
