Foo Fighters Coldplay Elton John

Florence Bruno Mars Taylor Swift

Iggy Pop Paul Weller Sam Smith

Kendrick Lamar Frank Turner Lionel Ritchie

Alabama Shakes George Ezra Wilko Johnson

Bjork The Strokes The Chemical Brothers

Bastille The Vaccines Alt-J

Jamie T Hot Chip The Maccabees

La Roux Kodaline The Cribs

The Wombats Jessie Ware FKA Twigs

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Nice Think Kodaline will be mid-afternoon on the Other again if not low on the Pyramid though. La Roux probably a couple of places too high after disappointing album sales and not selling out her most recent (sub-Academy) tour.

Thoughts?

This is the best I've seen so far

[kalifire]

That's good, yeah. Great call on Foals opening Other - can definitely see that happening.

Overall, not enough hip-hop. Kendrick should be in the mix, at the very least.

[Sketchead]

Foals opening the Other Stage would be magnificent.

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't think a band with literally nothing lined up is going to rehearse, and do all the other crap involved in putting on a show, just to open the Other Stage.

[Sketchead]

I don't think a band with literally nothing lined up is going to rehearse, and do all the other crap involved in putting on a show, just to open the Other Stage.

Me neither.

But on the other hand, if they're going to be there anyway (guessing they'll be there as punters), they may as well bring guitars etc.

Not expecting it but not impossible.

[DJL]

Can people please stop suggesting coldplay vs alt-j (and a mixed bag elsewhere) whilst on other nights clashes galore for me... Has me excited/worried that the same line-up can be very good or pretty average for me - all depending on the scheduling

[Purple aki squat]

Only prediction I have is flaming lips opening other stage. Would be perfect

[klipper]

Black Hippy = kendrick, jay rock, ab soul and schoolboy q

I think it'd be the kind of booking that would make a west holts headline slot more fun and interesting, although Kendrick by himself would also be really cool

[Mezhyp1]

I'm with you on this one Will, don't imagine it's a slot Foals themselves would be that into playing actually, more of a night time and lights show kind of band now, which is for the best. I imagine they'll be tucked away recording until the record is finished and them come back and play some big slots

[dentalplan]

But on the other hand, if they're going to be there anyway (guessing they'll be there as punters), they may as well bring guitars etc.

No that is impossible.

[klipper]

I think it would be a smart move on foals' behalf if they did it. Get some hype going, remind people they're still around and debut some new songs.

Also, as they're possibilities to headline the festival after another album the eavii might be keen to see how the new songs translate live, get a greater idea of whether they'd be big enough to headline the festival etc.

These are probably just pointless hypotheticals. But, I don't think it'd be unfeasible for foals to open the other stage as "special guests" and I think it'd be a smart booking for the band and the festival.

The charlatans, hot chip, vaccines then the strokes would be a dream for me, that would be an amazing Saturday

I disagree, I'd say it'd be a bad booking for band and festival. If they wanted to test drive the new songs it'd be lower key intimate shows for fans rather than a huge field packed full of sober punters that have just woken up and are probably gonna look down at them being booked to headline if they're not brilliant - which is entirely possible considering their last performance on that stage.

[ghostdancer1]

agreed.

a band taking time out of writing/recording their new album to road test new unheard songs on an audience that will barely be receptive to even the hits, is a truly awful idea.

the fact that Foals are listed as a rumour on the rumours page is daft. them opening the Other Stage is completely absurd.

[Gucci Piggy]

I doubt they'll even have any new songs by then. They said after Bestival they were going away for 18 months, which takes them to March 2016. Don't think they'll have anything ready by June 2015.

[Mezhyp1]

Best one yet personally Matt, DFA and The Cribs clashing would be brutal.

Belle and Sebastian, The Chems and Caribou is a nice set of headliners

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Can't see Ben Howard and Florence and the Machine clashing.

[Matt42]

Can't see Ben Howard and Florence and the Machine clashing.

I geniunely can't of a third other headliner - was gonna put the prodigy but I think they are too big to go up against florence - real big crowd puller.

[dentalplan]

Vaccines way too high.

[kalifire]

Would Hot Chip sub? They could headline against FATM, no?

[Matt42]

Vaccines way too high.

ayy lmao

[Gucci Piggy]

alt-J can't at Friday.

alt-J, Chems and Ben Howard can't be the Other headliners, and none are available Friday.
