You do realise them highlighted points show that I didn't say YOU said it!! Christ, how stupid are u?!!

No I didn't you fool, the top clearly says sisco says.......which at one point back in the day wasn't just rolling garbage!

I stated acts that are to Ellie and vice versa to do it and dod NOT mention FLO! How does you mentioning about Flo getting a bump up to header like knew she would and being included in the rest YOU saying are bigger than Ellie G not make you realise YOU typed it?! FFS read the page! It's there is black and bloody white!

Anyway fuck all this and your idiotic shite.

[sisco]

Can someone translate again? I'm pretty sure I don't speak stupid!

Gah I just started off doing a new stage prediction now things have changed a little in the past couple of weeks and it was just so depressing that I had to delete it as it wouldn't benefit anyone. I am already looking forward to April when the poster comes out and hits us with a load of exciting acts.

The sub position was one I had trouble with though. Now popular choices Noel Gallagher, Kendrick Lamar and Faithless are out of the mix I can't really think. The one I was most confident on - Ellie Goulding - I could see playing third down instead now her ascent has slowed a little. Who have we been largely overlooking? The 1975? The Weeknd? The xx? The Buggler? Someone exciting?

Jake Bugg was one I was thinking of too, sadly. Also they're not quite big enough but maybe Tame Impala?

Are Faithless ruled out or is just because of them playing IOW?

I'm unsure that Bugg would get bookings like his summer last year, particularly because of how unimpressively it went over. I dunno though, the Second Bugging might be upon us next summer when he releases his danceable new album.

And, well, Faithless aren't proper ruled out or anything but they're headlining a competitor festival and any crack they could slip through to play a lower slot at Glastonbury will have been sealed up in the contract I should think. Plus they're so far past relevant that I would be saddened to see Glasto go in for them again anyway and it's probably just lack of names that led to them being suggested in the first place.

It's a shame he headlined the Other stage last time as his new album would be perfect if they go with similar Other stage headliners to this year.

We could finally start being optimistic and predict somebody like The National, Bon Iver or Sigur Ros to be there (albeit I think Sigur Ros would headline Other).

Someone (may have been you) said there were other festivals that would probably book The National over Glastonbury weekend, and I think somebody said today that those festivals are now ruled out for them, so it looks a bit more likely.

Not sure Glastonbury would bother booking them in 2016 though if they didn't in the last two years whilst they were actually playing new-ish material.

FWIW I had Faithless, Ellie Goulding and Kendrick Lamar as my subs, and changed that to Faithless, Emeli Sande, Ellie Goulding, but I'm unsure about whether IOW will rule Faithless out (and I agree it'd be a shite booking).

Imagine Dragons? TDCC if their return actually does give them the boost to major fest subs?

Says a lot about Imagine Dragons that if they were to replace one of the Faithless, Emeli Sande, Ellie Goulding trio it would probably be worse. 

I'm assuming there's no chance of The Prodigy subbing? I remember reading on here that the Chemical Brothers were offered a sub slot in 2011.

Edit: Also is Beck an option? I was thinking more third down for him but he's a hard one to place.

Yep. At least if he does take a tumble down the lineup then there'll be a West Holts headline slot welcoming him with open arms.

Ayy Em Sandé isn't a bad shout at all actually. Maybe TDCC if the person who said they'd sub R+L is right, but that wasn't the same person that said Imagine Dragons and The 1975 would sub so not so sure - it does seem a bit of a big gig for them. Imagine Dragons certainly wouldn't have the recognition to sub Glastonbury as they might at R+L but I think The 1975 would, their new album could see them hit another level. These are all major depressing though and even the ones you mentioned at the top I'd much rather see headline the Other than open for any of the shite Pyramid headliners next year.

I just see it as Faithless headlining another festival ergo not playing Glastonbury to be honest. People said the same with The Prodigy last year that because they're 'only coheadlining' that they could play Glastonbury yet they didn't even though there was no explicit exclusivity. If the 'only coheadliners' thing is right then you could bring back that thing about the Foals keyboard player 'self confirming' Glasto to some fan on tour.

There might be, this time around. I think that Chem Bros came from something written on the Other Stage bio on the Glasto pages but I'm sure The Prodigy would be a popular choice - much moreso than Faithless I'd reckon.

Imagine Dragons more than likely will be at reading which might not make them too likely, TDCC return/new album would need to be a big hit to put them in the frame for subbing I'd think 

I really couldn't think for subs at all, Ellie G looks an obvious choice of its Adele, I opted for ELO before Coldplay, if they aren't going to play the legend slot I could definitely see them subbing, I'm sure no one would have guessed The Libertines and Paul Weller last year, mostly due to the circumstances of how they came around

Bon Iver maybe? If the are going to be back in the uk, it's a bit of a hike up thug and would be much more suited to other headline

Hmm, obviously they seem more likely to headline the Other stage if they play but we seem to have more options for that so I suppose they could end up subbing. Not sure if they'd accept that though given it wouldn't be in darkness.

[Tr234]

Nile rogers hinted at Chic on twitter, pyramid afternoon slot?

Yeah obviously they'd be much better for closing out the Other Stage but we're just spitballing here I suppose. Going back to the Tame Impala suggestion that I missed up the page, I don't think it's too wild a shout considering the shows they're packing out now so they're probably in the market for slots like that at major fests. I could see that happening for sure.

[sisco]

Seeing all his names that could sub is really quite depressing at this time of the morning!! 

If the legend spot is Barry Manilow (as feared) it could well be ELO under Coldplay, didn't Emily Eavis mention something about getting someone on the Sunday they didn't think they could? 

I certainly for 1 think Biffy Clyro could headline but with the comments from Neil about Glastonbury not seeing them as big enough does that bring them into possible Sub thinking? (If rumours are to believed they tour next Oct/Nov so it's very good publicity)

Now this is going to sound more ridiculous than most...... Didn't Neil mention the Spice Girls for IOW?!

i was pitching the likes of Prodigy, TDCC, Imagine Dragons, The 1975 as Other possible headers/subs, guessing  they have to be in with a shout. (As well as Ellie Goulding, always said she needed a bump up......)

[Gnomicide]

Could Frank Turner sub The Other?  Massive crowd for his early slot last year (admittedly when he wasn't up against much), playing smaller venues this tour, after the arenas from a few months back but selling most out. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Of those who've been mentioned I think all of these could potentially sub the Other:

Chvrches. Tame Impala. Last Shadow Puppets. Bon Iver. Wolf Alice.

If you have Wolf Alice on a par with Bon Iver then something has gone wrong.

Theres a Glasto shaped hole the size of Katie Price's goul in the Wilco tour dates.

Decent it may be, but there's quite a few dodgy placings, don't see that being that close personally

Oh yeah, I meant 'decent' as in a fair few acts I'd like to see. Not realistic.
