announcement

Other headline. I've been wanting this for years.

hmm, would have to go up against a headliner considered weak, maybe the (now) usual British breakthrough Sunday one - Mumford, Kasabian

[eFestivals]

Neil, if you had to hazard a guess, who would you go for???

The obvious one is Blur, so that's my best guess.

I'm not fixed on the idea its them tho.

I think Rage would 100% no bones about it headline he pyramid, but it's about as likely as Sir Cliff being innocent

[Trebor]

George Clinton with the Family Stone? That sounds very far-fetched to me. Last I heard Sly and the Family Stone don't get on, but George and Sly have always been pally and Sly is on Clinton's new album.

Very, very random but if RATM were to appear at Glastonbury, would slot would they get?

I would bloody Love it RATM were to play Glasto again!! Ideally if they did, they'd headline - I know people would moan about that, but seeing as they are not currently active, it would have to be a big coup to get them!! Headlining the Other Stage at the very least!!

Let's not forget the 2009 Christmas chat topping appeal

[The Placid Casual]

Not as good as cragzy

I was off grid for that. Sounds as though I missed out.

[jonodillieono]

Didn't Iggy Pop play the other stage?....

iggy pop isn't massive. Avicii 'could' potentially headline one year due to his size, Blur are outright headliners in every sense. How you think they'd only play other outstands me

[Big Vern]

West Holts Stage Definitely some line-up info coming your way this week

Every single time someone uses FATM I think they have written RATM and get slightly over excited before I realise and give my screen the skunk eye.

[The Placid Casual]

Could it be just the West Holts?

you'd have to keep them away from Florence, otherwise there could be a confrontation.

ok then another huge name who headlined the Other stage was Queens of the Stone age... are Blur bigger than them?!!!

[Trifa]

Aviici is worse then Toby Flenderson

[The Placid Casual]

ok then another huge name who headlined the Other stage was Queens of the Stone age... are Blur bigger than them?!!!

In this country, yes.

[kingcrawler]

Yes, much bigger. QOTSA weren't as big when they headlined the Other stage than they are now anyway.

[mr gumby]

Neil, do you have any idea what level of detail we might be getting this week? Is it likely to be a few names, a poster like last year's first one, or one with stage splits?

(Thanks for all your detective work, by the way, hadn't said that yet!)

[jonodillieono]

ok then another huge name who headlined the Other stage was Queens of the Stone age... are Blur bigger than them?!!!

1) yes

2) At the time Qotsa were much smaller than they are now, so Blur were muchhhhh bigger at the time

Qotsa are too big for The Other Stage now though

[pedmills]

REM 99/03

Ah yes, good point. Hmm...

[Madmark]

In this country, yes.

And Kanye is bigger in America.. Point being?...

[The Placid Casual]

What?

[01seb]

That has no relevance to the discussion...?

Lay off the glue

[FuzzyDunlop]

Could it be just the West Holts?

I doubt it. With the shangri la ok to go, I suspect we are getting the main areas at least. Im guessing the main poster
