I think Tame Impala could sub-headline however considering how unlikely it is I'll be seeing a headliner, I'd kinda rather they halted their ascent and were third down.

mb'satglasto Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Tbf a pyramid sub for them going into Sunday headliner could work. Coldplay have got similar colour scheme theme going on with them at the moment. So I'd take having them there. Think I'm in the frame of mind of watching them every time I can at the moment after Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think 2nd or 3rd down Pyramid is their most likely position depending on what other acts they get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Rooster Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Already gonna be seeing them co-headlining at BBK Live in July but after last night's performance I'd be more than happy to see them take a prominent Pyramid stage position!

Spindles Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Sub on Other would be a good fit I reckon, definitely a band I'd enjoy sharing a sunset with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theouterlimits Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 After their absolutely wondrous show at Ally Pally, I've decided that 1) their show should only ever be seen in the dark. 2) it would be an absolute travesty if they don't make it to Pyramid headliner at some point in their career Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EighteenSixty7 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Sensational in Manchester on Thursday. Definitely better in the dark/in an arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwinstanley Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Saw them on Friday night at Ally Pally, awesome show. Let it happen had the place bouncing! Jagwar mar played a really good set too, they were a good choice for support! Only downside for me was having to travel up from Jersey with no tickets as Getmein had fucked up, was supposed to be going on the Saturday but ended up finding Friday tickets on gumtree instead.

I went to the same show and felt somewhat different about it, I prefer TI's first 2 albums (Currents is great don't get me wrong), where I was standing it seemed like only the Currents songs were known apart from Elephant and .....Backwards! Good performance by the band - but the crowd (where I was) was a bit shit and I felt they didn't really fill the venue with their sound..... I have only ever seen a few gigs at AP where the band had great sound (again, to me). Would still love them at Glastonbury though. Pyramid sub I reckon or 3rd down.

alan_clarke1 Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) Impressed with the number of youngsters at Ally Pally on Friday. Expected it would be full of 30/40 somethings like me. Their appeal is definitely widening! Edited February 16, 2016 by alan_clarke1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siweltrebor Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'd prefer Tame Impala to be on the other stage, but i guess it's time for them to take to the Pyramid, I like them a lot, but I'm no fan of venturing up to the casual end of the crowd.

I think that's probably down to Currents bringing TI more into the limelight in recent times, thus bringing in lots of new fans who are more familiar with the tracks of that album than the previous two. Also I felt there was a bit of a mixed crowd. We started off near the front where there were a few idiots moshing into people and throwing drinks around so we moved a little bit further back (don't get me wrong I love a good crowd atmosphere but there's always a few unavoidable twats) and although it was still bouncing it seemed like everyone was a bit more chilled and just enjoying watching the band. But I agree with you about Glastonbury, I can imagine them playing the slot Alt-J played last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad2434 Posted April 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Still absolutely gutted these didn't get announced in the first poster. What do you think their chances are of appearing in the next announcement? They're still free glasto weekend, but are in the US on the 16th. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Can't see it unfortunately. It's now a case of if they are announced, where do they play? Most of us had them third down the Pyramid but it looks like ZZ Top, TLSP and Beck will be taking those slots. They may be happy to take a lower slot than the general consensus on here would place them but personally I've made my peace with them not being there this year.

Would there be no chance of them playing high up on other stage? I haven't been following other threads about slots. They could definitely sub other stage in my opinion.

Bastille, Chvrches, 1975, PJ Harvey all confirmed, all with a decent shout of subbing the Other. I hope I'm wrong and they are on the next poster but at the moment I just can't see where they'd fit.

They pretty much sold out Manchester Arena which is huge. The standing area sold out months before the gig. If they played the Other, not sure they would sub it.
