2016 Other Stage headliners

[H.M.V]

So to summarise the last few pages or possibly most of this thread and potentially the rest of it till June is...

BMTH - never heard of em, bloody yoof and the shite they listen to, not good enough for headliner, they sell out stadiums, get with it grandpa, pissing, not actually pissing, some people happy, some people meh, some people couldn't give a flying fuck

So Sigor Ros? Whats the chances huh?

[Inconspicuous]

I think Sunday will be BMTH into Pendulum up against Ellie Goulding into Coldplay

[TomViolence]

 

PJ Harvey beneath Pendulum and BMTH? Emily may as well tell her to not bother showing up. Outrageous.

Just been told by the guy that always gets my lot silver hayes backstage passes (his sister is a secretary at Glastonbury HQ) that Bring my the Horizon will headline Saturday up against Adele on Pyramid.

I really hope you are right. That would be perfect for me.

Doesn't appear to fit with Neil New Order info though? Also would be a squeeze for them getting back from Canada I still think Sunday tbh

[sisco]

Yeah sure Neil has heard NO on Sat and BMTH Sun

Find a bin to Pendulum in, move BMTH to headlining, PJ Harvey under them or two below, and you might be a bit closer

BMTH are playing a festival in Canada which is the Friday and Saturday although unconfirmed day. I doubt they will be doing Saturday even if they are on the Friday.

[ghostdancer1]

it's on the Thursday too, which I think is when someone said they're playing.

loads of time to get back to play on Saturday if required.

Has there been any indication recently on the chances of Bon Iver turning up? If so, what would be the most likely slot?

Nah I very much doubt it - think he'd pretty much have to headline Other and obviously it seems a bit jam packed up there. Only seems to be doing his own festival and one festival in Japan (so far)

I really hope you're right. That would sort out my Saturday and Sunday night in one foul swoop.

I don't know... think sometimes people over-egg the extent to which a band would definitely need Other Stage Headliner. Last year West Holts had Hot Chip and George Clinton/Parliament. Are Bon Iver (or LCD for that matter) any bigger than them?

[wozwebs]

Coldplay v New Order if that's the case? I'd say Sat: Adele v New Order, Sun: BMTH v Coldplay makes a lot more sense.

Bon Iver ain't gonna play West Holts in any case. It's not just a third stage, it's got its own thang goin' on.

Wonder what @eFestivals thinks about this given New Order TBC for Saturday

Yeah. I'm always told I get that one wrong... I've been 6 times but never figured what is and isn't allowed on there; )

So too big for Park, Other Stage full, not suitable for WH. Does sound a fit screwed for BI. Think what we need is a petition.  I'll start one against MBTH. They must have said something misogynist at some point in time....

I've had info that New Order are the Saturday headliner and I've good reason to believe that's correct. (I've also had info from at least 2 other directions that they're headlining).

However, it's not impossible that things have been swapped around a bit, for one reason or another - tho I find it hard to believe BMTH would play on Saturday, given their commitments in Canada.

All in all I reckon my info is more likely correct that what matey heard, tho I guess we'll only find out which is right when announced.

BTW, just checking back on that New Order stuff I've just re-noticed that I was told Kendrick is the 3rd headliner - tho the guy telling me has his own suspicions that it might not be right, tho it's what he's heard via a band that's playing. (It's quite possible that this is one of those 'would like to do' things which get written on potential line-ups but doesn't come about ... I guess it depends on whether Kendrick is really exclusive to BST or not).

Any thoughts on where that might leave LCD?
