There's no obvious place for them. Are we coming back round to the idea of them subbing Adele? I know we though Disclosure had that slot but it's the only space that fits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoilyX Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's all pretty obvious, really: dawn chorus = they're playing early secret set needs a large stage, following previous fears of overcrowding early set + big stage = Other Stage openers James' previous (unconfirmed by GFL) announcement was a ploy agreed with GFL to put people off the scent James' reward in agreeing to take part is obviously a slot as JPT headliners I therefore claim my £5!

FloorFiller Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) also somebody has now reverse image searched one of the images Radiohead posted and it linked back to an instagram account which had a bunch of pictures of a bunch of artists making scenery that looked like it was for a music video, all of which were then erased minutes later. fuck i love all this edit: same artist that did the There There video, my favourite video of theirs. good stuff Edited May 3, 2016 by FloorFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st dan Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Was The Libertines TBA Pryamid slot last year a one off do we think? That exact slot would be perfect for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That exact slot would be perfect for them. people (including myself) have thought that they might've liked how it went down so well that they're giving it another go this year with Radiohead, although for it to work properly you'd imagine Radiohead would have to be willing to do some kind of greatest hits set rather than what they were doing on TKOL tour. it also leaves a couple of acts totally up in the air as there really doesn't seem to be enough space for some of the higher up acts we have as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffieldlady Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 This is a pretty interesting take on the clues: https://www.reddit.com/r/radiohead/comments/4hm3em/radiohead_is_hinting_at_one_song_at_a_time/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I definitely could see them bring back the TBA slot this year. It was a great success. Their hand was forced last year, but I could see them wanting to keep that slot as a new thing. Subbing Adele, or 3rd down Friday/Saturday? Can't believe we're back to this IT NEVER ENDS.

ghostdancer1 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 TBA Other Stage opener on Sat/Sun playing the new album in full. or maybe some opening some other stage under a pseudonym? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanderlyle Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The ONLY negative here is that I imagine any sort of secret slot will be essentially to play the new album in full. Similar to Park back in (was it 2011?). Will be very cool to see the new stuff. But a full 2 hours headline set with maybe 30-40 mins of new album would be even better.
