I think they're doing Thursday and Saturday in mainland Europe and Sunday in London, which makes it almost certain they won't end up there.

I was talking about the chances of Sigur Ros doing Latitude as their only other UK show instead of Glastonbury.

[theDandy]

the amount of bands/artists around at the minute who could play with their touring schedules really is tantalising

[ghostdancer1]

and yet we've ended up with BMTH screaming to a probably half-empty field, and New Order probably going through the motions playing mostly the same songs as 15 years ago.

Are we believing the info that Disclosure are headlining the Other on Friday? Or should we still lean towards LCD?

Fuck, it better be LCD/they better actually be playing or I'll be pissed

[DJ Cull]

I'm sure I can't be the only person who'd not heard of BMTH until now...how on earth are the headlining the Other stage? It should so be The National instead.

I had never heard their music till people posted songs on here. Have seem some of the kids in Affleck's Palace wearing the T shirts though.

I think LCD may sub on Pyramid the way it's going lately with announcements.

It would fit Disclosure in. It would be ugly from my view but LCD into Coldplay would work well as would Tame Impala before LCD. 

[sisco]

Personally don't think Disclosure will play

Optimistic... I think they'll draw one of the smallest Other Stage headline crowds ever. Especially up against Coldplay and Earth, Wind and Fire.

Panic At The Disco drew a tiny crowd in 2008, and the Glastonbury attendees would have been a lot more familiar with them.

For the size they are now they probably should be heading stage although they wouldn't be the 1st act the do a similar tour to that and sub (I think this is probably at the bigger end though), but for their less broad appeal it would be better as a sub.

Theyll go down like a lead balloon..... very much a shit example of their genre. and I agree about the tiny crowd, cant imagine even among the glasto rock/metal fans contingent many of them are going to be the kind of `scene kids` that would scream the place down for bmtth they arent exactly beloved even by metal fans so god knows why people think they should be headlining anything at glasto.

I genuinely think this. There's about 20 of us going, all with varying musical tastes and maturities, BMTH barely register on any of our radars. The ones who are aware of them are into the more serious side of metal, and wouldn't even entertain the thought of watching them headline the Other.

The sparsest crowd I saw at the Other for an act that wasn't on early doors last year was Young Fathers. I predict this'll be about the size that BMTH get. I can remember watching Queens of the Stone Age in 2011 and having plenty of room to move about to the sides, and they're a far bigger band.

[FloorFiller]

I'd be kind of interested to see what kind of crowd they get. I totally believe they deserve that spot, but whether the audience will be there is another thing, especially on the Sunday when people are knackered - they would've been far better suited for the Friday imo. Reckon the crowd will start out okay and thin out pretty massively towards the end

[Amy Lawn]

Nothing in the frame excites me this year apart from LCD Soundsystem. They're my favourite band and I'm dying to see them, I've accepted as fact that they'll headline The Other. It's LCD and No Bones Jones that are keeping my excitement going. Obviously I'll have an amazing time when I'm there, but the procession of bands that turn me right off is a bit of a downer. I don't see LCD subbing the Pyramid, they just don't have the wide appeal for that field. Looking back at the Pyramid sub across the last few years they seem very out of place. Only Nick Cave has a similar status and appeal, and he's obviously an exception as he's as Glastonbury as longdrops, and probably much more of a name than LCD are.

[nowyouregideon]

Is there a reason BMTH can't do JP or something? Before anyone cries too big, general census on here is the Other Stage will be empty but the amount of people you would expect would surely fit the tent quite nicely, depending on who they are up against. Just a thought.

On second thought, that probably wouldn't work... oh well.

Yeah BMTH is really a mystery. God awful band. I really have no idea who likes them other than Radio 1 and 16 year old scene kids. They were a joke when they first started 10 years ago when Olly Sykes pissed on a fan and they really haven't progressed at all in that time. The only thing they have done is ditched their original sound for some stomach turning blend of pop metal.

When bands such as Deftones are around it's such a shame to see Glastonbury go for BMTH as their 'metal' representative. They need to employ someone with a better knowledge of the genre to judge which bands would more appropriately cross over to Glastonbury, rather than pluck whatever is hot and just throw it on.

What are you talking about? They were on Other at 14.45. Rubbish slot for them and obviously going to be sparse.

I had never heard of BMTH until I kept seeing that abbreviation on efestivals and did not understand what it meant. Later I found out. I will give them a listen on youtube soon as I might like them. Least I'll know if I fancy watching them as my Sunday headliner. Personally though, I'm hoping for someone really good on West Holts on Sunday.

[Festival Liam]

Disclosure could sub Pyramid? I think it would be shit, but makes more sense than LCD. Or maybe LCD are headlining West Holts. Are they really much bigger than before when they subbed other? I say this as a massive fan, but with a lot of very unbothered friends.

I agree it was a rubbish slot, but by "early doors" I meant like before 1pm early. I'm a fan, so it's not a slight on Young Fathers - just an observation, they were the biggest name act I saw on the Other with a sparse crowd...

Anyway, regardless. They'll still get  a bigger crowd than BMTH.
