Radiohead Headlining 2017

Where did the myth of late Radiohead being 'bleepy' come from? Because that's never been even remotely accurate, even their most obscure stuff - TKOL for example is heavily rhythmic but not 'bleepy' at all.

Yeah that first started with Kid A, even though the vast majority of Kid A is done with "organic" instruments. Only Idioteque, EEIRP, Treefingers and Kid A could be described as vaguely electronic and even then not fully really. Still, I think it's partly because they haven't had as many big singles since then too so people don't know. Thom says he regrets not releasing any singles from Kid A - imagine the likes of HTDC being considered alongside big classics as Karma Police, which it should have been of course.

Kid A and HTTT have quite a few strongly electronic moments, although not that many actual bleeps spring to mind.

Actually, the only song I can immediately think of containing bleeps is Let Down!

Too boring for Saturday night headliner. Good.

Time to dig out my Reni hat so............

I'm so glad they made The Nal's dreams come true from when he started this thread:D

Haven't had a decent nights kip since June.

I can hardly believe that this looks almost a done deal. 20 years since I stood in the mud seeing them headline, 14 years since watching them play their first and so far only Pyramid headline slot follwowing The Flaming Lips, and 6 since the excitement of being front row at The Park. It's gonna be a glorious day :-)

Bjork to sub please.

And these 5 songs please in order of my personal hopes....

 

How To Disappear Completely (even better if they close with it)

Let Down

True Love Waits

Planet Telex

I Might Be Wrong

(+ Down Is The New Up if there is a Glastonbury miracle)

    • Remain self-imposed on not going north of a hundred, but... we're getting to the point now where the starting gun will be above that for some acts.
    • I'm finding the lower line up a little impenetrable this year   Any thoughts on heavier bands a la Slift a few years ago?
    • Will be curious to see how most of those shows sell. Surprised they're playing Leeds and Manchester - much as I am with Megadeth. (Not complaining, mind you.)
    • Biffy Clyro back again for R+L then 😁   To be fair, Biffy Clyro still one of the true "coup" bookings they've had here. Not implausible another Victorious headliner ends up in the mix, given Ashcroft has done it before. Maybe Kasabian, on the back of their arena run?
