Other Stage 2017

[Calvin Klein]

I still dont get why we are so confident that Bon Iver will be there. I just don't want to be let down when the line up comes out.

Tbh it's kind of resting on the fact that he showed up the past two years so seemingly has a fondness for the place. I can't imagine he'd be on site twice without the Eavi trying to strike up a deal for him to come back with his own band when they're back on tour. Christ knows what goes on behind the scenes though and it might not fit in with his schedule or something. Just gotta keep on hoping

Bjorky G would be a perfect Other Stage headliner opposite Sheeran, now I think about it. West Holts is the dream like and there are loads of acts about that could do Other Stage at this point but yeah, something to think about, that.

That much friction would be a fire hazard

FWIW, I reckon/hope this is what we'll get

Friday
Pyr: The Radioheads, Firstname Bon Secondname Iver
Oth: The Weeknd
WH: Bjork

Saturday
Pyr: Theodore Sheeran, HRH Lady Gaga Princess of Wales
Oth: NIN for the lads
WH: Run The Jewels, The Avalanches

Sunday
Pyr: Foo and the lads, The XX
Oth: Alt-Right J
WH: A Tribe Called Quest, Erykah Badu

I hope this too. Surely an Alt-J/Foos clash is better than Radiohead or Ed

[Tommy101]

I know they're not considered in high regard here but I'd be more than happy watching AltJ close the fest. If there is something better for me elsewhere then I wont be upset about missing them mind.

I've had someone email me, claiming to know that Green Day will headline the Other Stage at the same time Ed Sheerhan plays the Pyramid.

If that's correct, then it looks like Ed must be on Sunday, as that's the only date Green Day have free.

Looking at Green Day's dates, it certainly looks like there might be something to what this guy has said.

Wow...... if that's true

[CaledonianGonzo]

Crumbs.  That's a cracker of a booking, if true.

[Mezhyp1]

Would that be the biggest other stage headliner ever?

2nd to Jake Bugg.

[EamerRed]

How feasible is this? Not to discredit you Neil of course, but this seems like a massive one if true.

14 year old me would absolutely love this.

Wouldn't this mean that the information about Alt J headlining couldn't be correct? I might be wrong but didn't that claim Foos were definitely Sunday

Wouldnt be a bigger booking than Metallica at other stage would have been.

Nah I think it was just that they're headlining the Other Stage, and they know Foo Fighters are headlining so they're probably up against them and Sunday also fits best with them doing Hurricane/Southside. They could feasibly both fit if alt-J did the dash back and forth from Germany to headline Saturday (it's happened before, Tom Odell this year) an Green Day rounded off the weekend but I guess we're approaching an announcement of one of these Pyramid headliners so that should clear things up.

It is of that order.  I'm fairly sceptical at the moment, but if it turns out to be true I'll be down the front in a giant pair of shorts bellowing along to All The Small Things like I'm 13 again.

They do Blink 182 covers these days, do they? ;-)

[The60ftOctopus]

Oh myyyy. Please let this be true.

Blimey - that's a corker if true. Can't say I'm their biggest fan, but it would be cool to hear some of their older tunes live.

I'm sure Ed will get a massive crowd either way, but I imagine Green Day will divide the numbers a bit. I can imagine there being a decent bit of crossover there (certainly more than the NIN dream).
