I'd be content with that. Jamiroquai // LCD // Sigur Ros. All quite modern headliners, normally have at least one old school headliner on West Holts don't they?

That was Jamiroqaui, they were the last one thrown in, them and The Weeknd

[Mash011]

Some lethal clashes on that one Mezhyp1, Tame Impala, TLSP and RTJ on at the same time??? God help us. Would be an ace line up though.

[theDandy]

I had Earth, Wind & Fire down to headline on the West Holts on one of the evenings! I'd be content with Jamiroquai or Earth, Wind & Fire.

I was trying to work it round what days I could realistically play, but I was beginning to struggle, Robyn M83 Jamiroqaui clashing hurt a little too, there's going to inevitable clashes though so I stuck with it 

[dentalplan]

Sigur Ros wouldn't play West Holts but aside from that it looks good.

I couldn't think of another headliner, and there's still the off chance they could appear 

[FloorFiller]

Hudson Hohawke

Hudson Hohawke 

How likely he is to play that slot I'm not sure, but I think he'll be there, slipping him third on JP excited me though 

[Gucci Piggy]

I think Hudson Mohawke is more likely.

[Tuna]

Hudson Fauxhawke tbh

 

Deerhunter -> EitS clashing with Beck -> LCD Soundsystem is horrible

Throw Savages in there at the same time as Deerhunter/Beck and it really starts to get gnarly, I don't have clue who I would watch on the Friday night, I'd want to see them all except Moooose

[gluther]

Friday would be brutal for clashes. 

I'm impressed with how good these prospective lineups are looking despite the pyramid headliners. Just hope the actual lineup ends up being on a similar level.

[Gnomicide]

I have absolutely convinced myself that Guy Garvey will be on somewhere, loving his album.

Where do people think he would be placed.

Late afternoon/early evening park stage

[Gnomicide]

Park seems logical but I can't gauge his popularity. He played some decent sized venues on his tour but was that driven by Elbow fan curiosity rather than his own material. Now people have scratched that itch, would they still go to see him, is he big enough to headline The Park?

Maybe pretty early on the Pyramid? Or the Park afternoon

[kingcrawler]

I reckon he'll be high up on the Park (subbing or headlining) or early afternoon Pyramid.

Can't be. I know Supergrass were never nearly as big as Elbow, but if Gaz Coombes plays sixth from top promoting a highly acclaimed second solo record, surely Mr Garvey, adored by many as he is, can not headline The Park on the back of one mediocre solo outing?

And anyway, no-one is allowed to until Explosions in the Sky have had their headlining slot (Friday or Daturday, please) confirmed.

Apart fromon here, I've never heard of Explosions in the Sky. What sort of venues do they play?

Also, do you need a beard, top knot and no socks to like them?

They've just announced a tour so this should give you an idea of the sort of venues they play http://pitchfork.com/news/63011-explosions-in-the-sky-announce-tour/

Iron out the Beck/Savages clash and I'd be well happy with this. 

Tame > New Order Friday, Beck > LCD Sat and Grimes > Underworld on Sunday would be banging. (I'm ignoring the Sigur Ros clash because that just ain't gonna happen :p) 

[Gnomicide]

Just checked Guy's website and he is playing Forest shows Friday and Saturday, that normally rules them out but could do Sunday.

Top knot? TOP KNOT???

You cheeky scamp, Gnomy. I'm not even quite sure to which sub-demographic group you're referring! Unless Tool is a sub-demographic group. They're an American post rock band from Austin, Texas (don't hold it against them) who are one of the more influential godfathers of the quiet-build-up-to-batshit-musical-climax brand of post-rock. They are often decried as being a bit formulaic and sterotyped, but that's in part as they helped to develop the 'formula'. What they do have is skill in melody, and an unbelievably committed live performance. They really do 'leave everything on the stage', to the point that they have played an encore something like only once or twice in their career, preferring to come on, give the crowd everyhitng they've got, then piss off again!

I've seen them a couple of times, including headlning EOTR, before the new stage was added, so they were on the idyllic Garden Stage. I had a bit of a moment - a little tired and emotional, as it were - but rallied to enjoy one of my favourite ever festival sets. Bugger me, they were good.
