FuzzyDunlop Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 The Fratellis are headlining "Rochdale Feel Good Festival" this year... A free food and music event in Rochdale town centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 A long-term compadre of mine fainted during The Fratellis set at TITP one year and woke up in the medical tent.. I'd like to see 2016's equivalent of The Fratellis (ie. Yanis Varoufakis and the Foals) inspire such a reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I saw Fratellis at Y-Not a few years ago and it was possibly the most hideous gig I've ever attended. So many moronic 'lads' shouting at them to play that one song that they all knew, whilst throwing cups of piss at the stage. The band almost walked off stage at one point. It was such a toxic atmosphere. Then Frank Turner played the next day and it was a really friendly, enthusiastic crowd. Funny how different acts bring out different people...

russycarps Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 so the logic is because we've had shit acts before we should meekly accept even shitter acts for the future. I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even as poor as Reading is they are only heading NME. 5 nights on the spin at Brixton. No doubt arenas announced come the autumn. Top of the album charts in UK and US. There's only one way they're going. Decent fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'vce heard again today that the Other headliners are LCD, NO & BMTH, which really only leaves subbing adele for Disclosure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver89 Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Are Beck and Foals not in the running for subs? Seeing as they are on the poster and viable Other headliners but with LCD NO & BMTH lined up subbing Pyramid would make sense no? Agree Disclosure would be the third sub on Pyramid - good on them!

We're fairly sure Foals are subbing Muse, and Beck is unlikely to be a sub despite his prominent position on the poster. Ellie Goulding will almost certainly be the second sub and like yourself I'd guess Disclosure are the third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say thats a reasonably strong set of doubles topping the bill. I'll likely be elsewhere myself but mainly because I've seen them all before (except Adele who I will likely be dragged to). This does identify a potential nightmare clash situation though of Beck headlining a stage on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the poster placements don't really mean anything but having him so prominently displayed and then shoving him in the JP or something would seem odd to me (and in general I see him as a Pyramid act anyway).

MEGABOWL Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 2007 was the year the sub-headline slot peaked. Kasabian, Kooks, Kaiser Chiefs. Raw rock power, sex appeal, alliteration. It's got it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bit too big for that now, i'd say. it doesnt mean too much, but they're coheadlining Reading and Leeds this year with Foals who are also touted to sub the pyramid.

theDandy Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 I reckon the Pyramid then is looking like: Friday -- MUSE // FOALS // ZZ TOP Saturday - ADELE // DISCLOSURE // THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS // MADNESS Sunday - COLDPLAY // ELLIE GOULDING // BECK // JEFF LYNNE'S ELO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I'd move Beck to above ZZ Top and the legend slot just be one higher this year (maybe in an attempt to lessen the monstrous crowds of the last two years).

Ben Holland Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 That Saturday on Pyramid actually looks decent. Madness into last shadow puppets looks sweet. Then hopefully go over to west holts for Earth Wind and Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you know what you could be spot on there, Sir. Maybe Jess Glynne on before Jeff Lynne to turn things on it's head?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 Disclosure will surely wheel out Sam Smith who will certainly go down well with the Adele fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted March 30, 2016 Report Share Posted March 30, 2016 2 hours ago, SwedgeAntilles said: That's not strictly true though is it. I think the point many people were making is that they would prefer that the festival give a 'smaller' act such as Foals a bump and play their part in making the next group of headliners, rather than playing safe with Muse or Coldplay. It was way more than just to give a 'smaller' act it, it was thought all year they were big enough/deserved it and yet now to major UK festivals see it completely different and one looks like it struggled like fuck, worrying thing that wasn't even the slot that caused them the most headache. The real headache will be when a portion of 150k have already seen both main acts. 1 hour ago, theDandy said: I reckon the Pyramid then is looking like: Friday -- MUSE // FOALS // ZZ TOP Saturday - ADELE // DISCLOSURE // THE LAST SHADOW PUPPETS // MADNESS Sunday - COLDPLAY // ELLIE GOULDING // BECK // JEFF LYNNE'S ELO It's pretty clear I think.
