When I die I want this thread read out for my eulogy and the person reading it has to do voices for you all

I shudder to think what voice my Radiohead waveform analysis will be read out in!

I was expecting something more like this:

Nope, they're in Croisent Neuf.

Which only goes to show that you can put a previous headliner on on a small stage.

And even easier if the stage concerned happens to be within an area that has a crowd access management system! 

Just saying.

I know that - just wondered if Scottie knew they were there too

 

I just have a high degree of vitriolic sarcasm, especially as there's no football - my guess is actually they're showing the Iceland v Republic Of Ireland Game live from Toulouse (despite saying no football)

PS: notice it says 'sets' and not 'djs', too - it's defo not a reference to (just) djs - tho of course that doesn't have to mean rh.

I would take 'sets' as in dj  sets. Another Thom Yorke dj set is more than likely, Radiohead playing somewhere is not happening. Superstar is also a phrase used for 'superstar' djs. Carl Cox or someone like Sasha doing a surprise set is more likely.

yep, and because 'superstar' is used for djs, it would have probably said superstar djs if it meant just djs.

As I said, that doesn't have to mean RH. They've had Pete Doherty, Madness, gaga and others up there over the years.

But I think it means more than just DJs.

Scott's got his own part to the story, which he's never told me coherently enough for me to get a grip on, and he's allowed to think for himself.

You just like the sport of feeding this thread  

[Justiceforcedave]

I heard they're coming on with Coldplay to do Hymm for the weekend with Beyonce.

[watsonjm]

Ok i've kind of lost track of this now.  

Can someone give me a low down, from the back pages i've read since the full line come out we're thinking late night set in SE corner? or Thom DJ set somewhere? 

And they're nailed on for 2017?

PD, Madness and Gaga up where?  

Didn't Florence pop up somewhere in SE corner last year?  want to say NYC dowlow?

Have you heard anything about Tame Impala? Were they always down for that slot do you know? It has the feeling of a late-ish replacement to me. Can't see why they would be kept off the first poster.

Looks like you're right about that - Kevin Parker interview on i-D (Vice), yesterday:

You've been announced as the headliner before Adele on the Pyramid stage at Glastonbury. How does that feel?
Pretty amazing! I've known for two weeks and it's just been really frustrating not being able to talk to anyone about it. We were talking about whether we were going to play Glastonbury a while ago, and it wasn't looking good, we couldn't get a spot on one of the stages and I was genuinely bummed. It's always just a good excuse to go. I'm playing a DJ set with Mark Ronson the same night [Tame Impala] are playing, and we booked that before, just as a way to get there! Actually, our first time at Glastonbury we played on the Pyramid stage, but it was like 11:30 in the morning and there was no one there, we were playing to people coming out of their tents, rubbing their eyes and stuff! [This time around] it's really going to be a life fulfillment!

So perhaps they were still talking to the 'Head until a couple of weeks ago.

[jparx]

Cheers for that @Brave Sir Robin!

Does explain why there was a lot of uncertainty around that spot. Wonder who was lined up before hand and if it was indeed RH? 

[jparx]

It's also quite amazing that Impala weren't in the original plans and they were actually asking for (and seemingly denied) a spot on the bill.

I doubt it. It's not like the festival would pursue Radiohead to subheadline for months and months when they're really a headline-only type band and if they were to play the festival it would've been out of a mutual want.

Maybe they had plans for the Bowie thing that Emily did say they were talking to.

Might be The D'Angelo Conundrum

 

But that slot didn't feel right for him, either.

Emily and Nick must've not liked Currents either!

I think yer man from the West Holts already gave us the solution for that one.

Or perhaps Emily thought they would get away with the secret sub-headliner until a bright young editor of a festival website proudly pointed out his Radiohead t-shirt.

Quick sign them Oxford boys as next year's headliner and get that Docile Impala to sub instead.

That's a weird one right enough. Given everything else this year seemed to have been tied up relatively early. 

[Wooderson]

Tune in next year for Dave's "Zeppelin are playing, guv, honest" thread.

[Time Being]

Very interested to see what is played tonight. 2 hour set time so probably a bit shorter than the other shows, although next band does not come for an hour and 45 mins, so maybe they are given liberty to play longer if they like. Would love to see Wolf at the Door make its way out tonight.

[stocky3000]

so they are certainly shutting up snd playing the hits
