well seemingly self-confirmed. Given to the wild was a big album for them and with number 4 coming I dont see why not. that or a potential other stage headliner?

I'd say Other sub or 3rd down on Other. They've been away for a while now so can't see them coming back and automatically jumping into much higher spots than they'd have got before this new album. Supporting Kasabian on an arena tour isn't really the mark of a Pyramid sub/Other stage headliner either.

I'd like to see them get a big slot like Other stage headliner at some point though as I think they'd do really well in it.

I really want to see the Maccabees but don't see them headlining, though I do see them subbing the Pyramid, Elbow have done it twice and although different musically I see them on that level now, though I have to say I've seen them live twice, once on their first Glasto in 2009 and again at the Alley pally and I reckon they are best seen at a festival in the light,i've also seen them on you tube given a stonking performance in the light doing Born to the Wild.

Valid points reference them supporting kasabian so maybe it would be too much for a other headline slot.

would also love to see it though, they would absolutely nail it. very very good live

I've only ever seen them in support slots (The Black Keys and Kasabian) but they were good both times, probably better than The Black Keys on the night actually. The new stuff sounded good too so I'll go and see them when they tour the new album.

Right, who is this Ben Howard chap?

Headlined Jersey Live last year- no crowd interaction at all - massive silent gaps between songs - attitude that was abysmal - swore at the crowd on numerous occassions and didnt engage in a nice way at all ......played mostly new songs that were dull dull and dull

Maybe he was having a bad day headlining !

he was unbelievably good on the pyramid in 2013!

was never a big fan before hand but he blew me away.

and the new album is extremely good

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
