someone else backing the info up - therefore giving it a bit more creedence. (And no this isn't a fogarty hint). 

That's fine man....to be honest I read it when I woke up.

[Mouseboy11]

Have you had info that Bring Me The Horizon are actually headlining the other? Suppose they could play above them, don't remember if anything specifically said they were headlining or not.

[deadpheasant]

Maybe they'll be billed as Special Guests or something...

It just sounds so absurd. I really want to believe but... subbing Adele? headlining other? It's Radiohead!

[Pbird81]

But then didn't Emily say something about not wanting to make secret sets that obvious..... I reckon 3AM Thursday at the crow's nest...

Are the current Other headliners 100% headlining? I could certainly see New Order, BMTH, maybe even LCD taking a step down, and I reckon it's more plausible that Radiohead would headline there than play before Adele on the pyramid. Put them on against her and crowds should be pretty split, draws away the casuals who'd moan at a current Radiohead set as well.

If they were to play any announced slot lower than atop Pyramid, headlining the Other against a bigger draw would be the dream - and it does seem more plausible than an Adele sub slot. Sadly it just does seem too set that the Other headliners will be the aforementioned.

Loaded said it alongside an interview with them so I'd trust that to be true.

How long dId the libertines get last year?

The only way I can see it is if LCD or New Order are moved to Pyramid Sub.

Which to me isn't that much of a weird idea.

Yeah that's true. The info on the Other headliners has been around for a bit so I suppose it could've been shuffled.

Could only see it being New Order that moves to Pyramid sub seeing as we've a decent idea Foals are subbing Friday and they're elsewhere Saturday, and I dunno if they'd move a big touring act like LCD Soundsystem's day.

It would have to be the Saturday. The thought of Radiohead playing the Other while Muse or Coldplay headline the Pyramid is pure blasphemy.

I have no idea of touring Schedule, but my instinct was LCD. Only as neil said Saturday sub could be a foreign act as he has struggled to get info, but...

Muse vs Radiohead

Adele vs Radiohead

Option 2 in my opinion makes more sense. From a logistic point of view. I think MUSE's crowd would be much lower than normal. I don't think Adele's would be as effected.

[Porcelina]

I've said for years that I'm sure they're saving the next Pyramid headline set for their final ever gig.

if they're subbing, maybe that's their compromise for now?

[FloorFiller]

A sub/co-headliner under (possibly as a special guest) Adele seems far more realistic to me than headlining Other, but Other headliner would obviously be the preferable option of the two due to it allowing them the dark and not swarmed with Adele fans

I think in that case they might as well just headline it. They seem averse to playing the Pyramid at all,  and they also don't seem to wanna play in daylight as arcade fireman pointed out, so it's a weird compromise when it's something they don't wanna do compounded by something else they don't wanna do.

[kaytee...]

I'd be happy with them playing before Adele. Rather that than not at all.Only because I'm going with my sister who isn't fond of RH but wants to see Adele -shes only 18, she'll learn. 

[Mash011]

Was suggested a while back that the Other stage upgrade was intended to allow bigger bands to play on it. Not really sure they're achieving that if the headliners are LCD, New Order and BMTH

70 mins. I reckon Radiohead would get a bit more though if they were announced. I can see them being billed as Special Guests and getting a slot length between that of a sub and headliner.

[Woffy]

Shit. The posts have gradually evolved yet again to people talking as if RH are actually playing.

Could you think of a worse crowd tho? I'm not that desperate.

This. I can't think of a worse crowd for a Radiohead set than a field full of people standing around waiting for Adele.

Hey don't try to take hope from us desperate bastards without tickets.

[mikeydredlox]

I appreciate this is a long shot, but I have a ticket for Saturday night May 28 and cannot go. If anyone has a ticket for Thursday (booked directly via Roudhouse), and would rather go Saturday please PM me and I will try and make a case to the Roundhouse to do a swap. Cheers

Here's a theory (I'm sure its been suggested already because we collectively seem to have floated every idea possible) ... the sound ordinances have been re-negotiated this year, and there will be a Thursday headliner.

That's the dream but I think we'd have heard something about that by now. Pretty big thing to keep up their sleeves for so long.

Maybe they're headlining William's Green on Thursday...?
