Reckon Beck could easily be in between Foals and ZZ Top instead of being on the Sunday. Would certainly make more sense than having him between the Suday legend and Ellie Goulding - there'll be a mass exodus for him if he's stuck there imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they try and get variety on that stage, but ELO > Beck > Ellie Goulding > Coldplay is just a bit mental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spindles Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Haven't they had Nick Cave in a similarly odd mix in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZZ are pretty big tho. They regularly do arenas here and would place highly on any festival lineup in the world. Third is right for them.

You know which act would fit nicely 3rd Sunday instead of Beck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have I missed any info? I was still thinking they could do 3rd down on the Sunday with Beck maybe slotting in between Foals and ZZ Top on the Friday. Seems odd to not have them playing when they have a space in their schedule, aren't doing any other UK festivals and had one of the best received albums of last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll likely to headline 2017, maybe get a secret slot at a small stage this year like 2011. The absence of Tame Impala this year is something i simply cannot get my head around. Its perplexing. Theyre doing Rosklide a week after G. Whatever gone down, its a bloody travesty theyre not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, it would be unacceptable if they aren't there. If they have booked Ellie Fucking Goulding and not Tame Impala they really need to sort their shit out.

arcade fireman Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Yeah Tame Impala could've easily subbed one of the Pyramid nights, they've been selling out arenas on the last tour. Hopefully they'll be one of the pleasant surprises later on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Other sub or 3rd on Pyramid is their natural fit as I see it. I'd be insanely happy if either option came up. In the radio interview EE said that the full lineup with stage splits and times would be released in April, so at least we should know how much of a clash hell it will be and who else we get the chance to see. There have been surprises quite high on the bill on the last few lineups that weren't mentioned in the initial poster, I live in hope.

kingbadger Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 What about Friday under LCD for Tame Impala? I can't see LCD headlining with Bastille subbing, especially when The 1975 are 3rd down on the Other, having already released a second number one album. Too much crossover with Foals, if they were to sub Muse perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beneath LCD is a decent shout I guess, but christ the Foals/Tame Impala clash would be a nightmare for so many of us. 3rd down on Saturdays pyramid was another idea I had but we know Madness are 4th and people seem sure Last Shadow Puppets are doing the Saturday and with the others top 3 taken it seems 3rd down is the only place they can really go so that's probably not an option.

Whilst I agree with your comment on Sunday headliners I'd argue BMTH is a fairly bold move for Glasto, whether they're shite of not is obviously a personal opinion but I interpret their booking as trying something a bit different and not so repetitive I guess (If only the same could be said of our pyramid headliners) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They shut down the Park early on Sundays for some reason now, leading a crowd (including me) to believe there was a secret headliner there the other year. It's probably also because they give free tickets to the locals on Sunday so want the best stuff on the other days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they've been conditioning people over the last few years to believe the stage closes earlier, so this year when Pink Floyd play people won't be expecting it. It's been the plan for years.
