I agree.  Just because Other got a new rig (funnily enough the field was the same size) last year, everyone seems to think JP will be the biggest tent in Europe or some such when it moves.

Actually, if I had to bet, I'd say they would replace the tatty old JP tent in its current form, but it won't be significantly bigger if at all.  I also wouldn't be remotely surprised if it was literally the same tent, just moved.

I think there is some sort of plan to replace the tent, but you are right its going to be about the same size as far as audience goes. The same as the other stage still caters for the same size audience just with a 'better' stage.

My guess, slightly clearer sight-lines for the audience and acts will be able to rig more stuff/have more room to customize it a bit.

Saturday Other is The 1975 -> Chvrches -> New Order, I think.

Don't kill my Chvrches in the JP dreams!

I'm not.  I've accepted that they exist, despite how annoying they are.

They had one hugely successful album and toured arenas off the back of it but I suspect nobody's that fussed anymore. Which will be reflected in their placing.

nah you're underestimating how much people like shit music. they haven't even released their second proper album yet but when they do they'll shoot right up to the top and be pissing everybody off again

[stuartbert two hats]

Although I am quite sad by their demise, I've had most of my upvotes in the last 12 months from slagging off Bastille.

I suppose there's always The 1975, but they seem to have done the opposite trick by releasing a much better album.  Not that someone with my exquisite tastes would ever listen to it

Neil had info that they're on the Friday, but Mr. Bastille has said they're subbing Disclosure on the Friday, so basically nobody has a clue

That is very strong to have The 1975 there.

bastille were third on main at Reading. they were a secret act in williams green last year

 

also beck are headlining fold festival in london on the sturday, Beck could play earlyish in the day then head over?

They were but it was a secret set so doesn't really matter. RH, Biffy, Pulp etc played Park sets they were too big for.

That beck London date is interesting ?

In what way?

I think it means he probably isn't a sub headliner, but I didn't think that anyway tbh. I guess he'll be on before Foals or Ellie Goulding.

Nemone has just been speculating about a RH secret set on 6music.

Do your think secret set could just mean special guests , it does look odd with beck that high

I wonder if it could be a TBA deal before Adele? It'd be a pretty bad secret though in fairness. The second they slap a 'special guests' or 'tba' on the lineup it's going to be fairly clear who it is.

I dunno if I'm deluding myself, but I reckon the bit of the poster that has 'Beck' in it once upon a time had another name there, and Stanley decided to fill it with a favourite of his.

Beck does seem weirdly high up, I'd have expected him to be down with LCD, Discloure, PJ Harvey et al.

Wait are you implying that Beck is going to "drop out" and be replaced...?

no, just that Radiohead may be added at a later date rather than in this initial poster and the artist chose to just put Beck in that huge vacant spot amongst the subs

Gotcha. It just sounded like clutching at straws this way around so I tried to reinterpret it. Clutching at straws squared!

Would love it to be RH. If they subbed, it wouldn't quite be that magical moment of headlining the Pyramid. I'd definitely be there though.

This is the official clutching at straws thread, it's what we do.
