Presumably either WH headliner, Pyramid sub? Cant see them doing anything else.

I really enjoyed them in 2010, but it isnt as if they would be doing anything new. I think I'd pass, but they were excellent in 2010

Someone on Glasto chat Facebook page claiming 'will confirm this week, you heard it here first'. It could be true for all I know, but it's about as conclusive as a photoshopped betting slip at the moment.

cool cool lets hope they do ..

WHs header isn't Pyramid sub, it would make them 3rd down. WHs header is about Other sub.

i think the musical style matching the stage adds some weighting to the positioning

That's true. I don't think they're Pyramid sub anymore. In fact it would be pretty sad if they're as big as Hot Chip are now based on a song about not going to sleep decades ago.

Glasto chat - excitement dies as Glasto Chat is full of people saying stuff that is not true.

You do know Faithless are massively bigger than Hot Chip? Faithless did arena's on their last tour....Hot Chip probably don't know what one is.

i could see them headlining West Holts, but as has been said, i hope they're on the Pyramid before Coldplay or Adele so i can just avoid that area all together for an evening. i don't dislike them, and thought they were great in 2010 before Stevie, but i have no desire to see the exact same set again

This is exactly how I feel

If that Pyramid is Adele, Faithless, Glynne and TLSP then nothing is going to top that. Chances I won't be moving except to the bar, and I'm only likely miss New Order and The 1975 up top to be honest.

Alternatively if they are WHs Friday that's where I go....don't see it against LCD though.

Faithless, to this day, remain one of the most excruciating live acts i've ever seen. Just, no.

Whilst you are probably correct, it is yet another example of the absurdity of how 'big' an act is, based on the opinion of the Great Unwashed. Faithless, whilst a perfectly decent act in their time, I guess, are irrelevant in today's music scene, and are trading solely on the back of Insomnia. That a band can do so, when there are SO many other newer, more inovating bands around who fail to gain any recognition, is a sad indictment on how to be successful in today's music industry (and I suppose it was ever thus...).

nah, they're really not.

[FakeEmpire]

I disagree that Faithless are irrelevant in today's music scene.  Sure, they're not bringing anything new to the table but it's hard to dispute the success of EDM at the moment.  Whilst largely tosh, the likes of David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Avicii et al are huge internationally and there's certainly an argument to say that Faithless are a big influence on that sound.

They put out that terrible remix album, Faithless 2.0, last year and it went to #1 in the UK which shows that the interest is still there.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They've also got that other one.....that sounds a bit like Insomnia.

No, they are trading on the back of quite a few tunes which are 15-20 years old.

God is a DJ, we come 1 and mass destruction I'd guess are pretty widely known by a festival crowd.

I was just making a point, Fuzzy! You know what I mean!!!

[OBface]

To my mind Faithless have never been relevant (or good). Complete waste of a WH slot if that happens. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Sister Bliss has a radio show, its not my kind of electronic music - but I think it does pretty well. Whilst that isnt faithless, it keeps a profile up

if they have that casual an interest in music, I'd guess they'd be off to watch westlife and not at a festival.

You might as well be saying that Radiohead only have 'creep' and coldplay only have 'yellow'.
