Only thing he's told me for this year is RH, and that they're 'playing' tho not necessarily headlining. did he say 'not necesarily headlining', or did he just omit the word headlining and say playing?

So working on that basis the realistic options (in no particular order are): Radiohead are headlining The Pyramid on Saturday because Adele has dropped out Radiohead are co-headlining The Pyramid on Saturday alongside Adele Radiohead are subbing to Adele Radiohead are headlining the Other Radiohead are playing a smaller secret set at some other point of the weekend I say no particular order, that's probably my order of preference. IMO I'd rather they headlined another stage than played before Adele, the field would be half full of people with no interest in Radiohead trying to a "get a good spot" for Adele and it would ruin the atmosphere somewhat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungo57 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Cheers for your snippets Neil. I care not where or when Radiohead play. So long as they play a full set then I will be there with bells on no matter who else is playing. Their 2003(?) set was the first Glasto set I watched on the telly and was what got me into them. I have long since wanted to see them (not counting the KOL set they did on the Park) at Glasto and it finally looks like we might all get the chance *listens to Hail to the Thief for the 300th time this week* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwedgeAntilles Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Based on all the various bits of info you've shared Neil it does sound like both have been booked and the only debate is to where they're placed. Under the circumstances I would definitely take that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryclaireyfairy Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Hmm, it's not such a leap to assume that if he didn't know about headlining neither did they yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilem Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Neil, if you had to place money on what slot RH do get... where would you guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_C Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Is it not possible that they thought the TBA slot that the Libertines ended up doing, added something to the festival and they might do that again but with Radiohead subbing one of the days?

Although Radiohead opposite Muse or Coldplay does seem weird it's not beyond the realms of possibility. Not neccasserily but if the festival were to stick them up against a headliner, Adele, the one most likely to pull a ridiculous crowd and the one who doesn't fit your traditional headliner idea, would definitely make the most sense. As you say, up against Coldplay or Muse doesn't make much sense at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yokel Again Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I really can't see Radiohead doing anything but headlining - waaaay too big for Other or for a sub slot. They could headline any other festival in the world. Adele on the other hand, certainly big enough to headline too, but given the reports about nerves and the sort of artist she is (i.e. a bit stand there and sing ballads) - I could see her more likely to do a sub slot or an afternoon slot as a 4th headliner or something. 'special guest' Adele doing a slot early evening for the TV.....? But then, what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just had info from another direction that there's no UK festies from RH this year - tho there is room within that for a secret set. Am trying to get updated word from the original direction, but whether I will I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
