Stage Predictions 2016

[sisco]

The Prism

Friday:

Foo Fighters

NGHFB

 

Saturday

Adele

Emile Sande

 

Sunday

Coldplay

Foals

Legend Slot: Manilow

 

T'other

Friday

Disclosure

Years and Years

 

Saturday

Radiohead ... yeh and what of it?

Vampire Weekend

 

Sunday

Rammstein

The Weeknd

 

I think the 6 pyramid acts you listed could very well be correct, possibly the only changes for me would be moving Foals to Saturday and Sande to Sunday.

Radiohead on the other..... Come on now

[balti-pie]

Holy mother of god, rammstein headlining the Other stage would be the very greatest thing imaginable 

[T-Mouse]

Wouldnt it just!! Especially on that new other stage. It could do huge justice to the power of a Rammstein show. You could not pick better opposition for coldplay. Id be there in a heartbeat.

[LondonTom]

I know its not feasible at all, but the Hell Stage would be great for them

The guy has ideas...quite like moi!

[Hugh Jass]

Maybe they could do a "stripped back" set? Acoustic guitars and lighters strapped to deodorant cans.

No sign that theyre exclusives at download... not that that matters in anyway. Still. It keeps this dream alive for now!

[T-Mouse]

Scatch that. A quick glimpse at their festi schedule shows them busy every day of glasto. And like that the dream is over for another year

[CaledonianGonzo]

Taking the fact that AC/DC aren't at Download as a positive sign...

They were too niche anyway.

swap the OS lineups for sat and sun and that would do me.

not sure FM would do anything other than Sunday night though.

I just now realised I intended to swap the headliners. But that's the best I can do.

that works

[Gucci Piggy]

Would probably see James Blake, New Order and Justice as my headliners. Not that great for me; hope there's a Pyramid headliner I want to see.

[TomViolence]

AnCo on The Park would be epic.

Wouldn't want a Rihanna/TWOD clash though!

[Mash011]

Yeah that'd be fairly bleak for load of headliners for me... Blake or Animal Collective, The War on Drugs then Wilco I guess. Plenty of goodness lower down though.

[kingcrawler]

Animal Collective seem like a decent shout to play but has there been a repeat Park headliner before?

Anyway, dentalplan's prediction is pretty similar (and probably better) to mine

O: The 1975, Years & Years, Bloc Party, Wolf Alice, Tom Odell, Gabrielle Aplin, Frightened Rabbit
JP: Major Lazer, The Horrors, White Lies, Lucy Rose
P: Joanna Newsom, Daughter, Action Bronson

SAT
P: Adele, Faithless, Tame Impala, Of Monsters & Men, John Grant, John Newman
O: New Order, Bastille, Metronomy, Jess Glynne, Wild Beasts, Slaves, Temples
JP: Haim, Editors, Band of Skulls, The Hives
P: Guy Garvey, Beach House, Unknown Mortal Orchestra

SUN
P: Coldplay, Ellie Goulding, Beck, ELO, Ella Eyre
O: Disclosure, Chvrches, London Grammar, Phoenix, Hurts, Savages, Beirut
JP: James Blake, Grimes, Bat For Lashes, Anna Calvi
P: Wilco, Mac De Marco, Soak

As others, I don't see FM being Friday night. Your Pyramid subs are pretty much the same as mine. I don't think TDCC will be as low as 4th, if they were then OFAM won't be, way smaller, I have TDCC, Tame Impala and Y&Ys to sub Other, but I do agree that Bastille is a very good shout for that slot in which case I would probably move Tame to Pyramid. Wolf Alice, Bloc Party and Y&Ys is a great run. I don't see New Order heading Other, subbing yes but a few years ago Neil said they were offered slots at festivals 4th down a main stage so I don't think they'd suddenly be sub. I'm just about with New Order on JP, with Editors heading as well, strong booking if they sub but I do think it's possible. You would have to say Beck has a decent chance.

[Mezhyp1]

Animal Collective/Jamiroquai clash would be a boot in a bollocks 

 

The War on Drugs would be stellar headliners anywhere, I'd definitely be watching them and probably Justice 

 

I could see Skepta/BBK headlining a stage, they're increasingly popular

No not yet but - not just idealism - I can't see another stage/place for them.

And to be honest I probably prefer yours as it has a load of acts I'd not thought about like The Hives, Wild Beasts, White Lies. But, talking of The Hives, I was gonna add an addendum that The Offspring play the 'The Hives slot' after the disappointing special guests.

Yeah that's true, the only other thought I had for them was subbing West Holts but not sure how well suited they would be for that.

The Offspring would be ace, I'm not sure I see them at Download again yet. LB are actually the only band I can see in the Hellfest lineup from this year to play R&L but maybe a LB style NME header with dance closer.

What apocalyptically messed up craziness would possess you to put the goddess that is Joanna Newsom fifth down on Pyramid, you crazy fool?

1. She's a headliner - Park, obvs.

2. The great unwashed of the Pyramid are entirely undeserving of her magnificence.

Other than that, as you were.

It'd be a fantastic setting and a longer set, but Caley G pointed out that external noise would creep in and hamper the atmosphere at the Park and I find myself agreeing with that. Would be happy to see her anywhere though.
