Loving the idea of Boy Better Know doing it. Would obviously be at Radiohead but I think they'd nail it. Has a hip-hop act ever headlined Other before? Can't think of any.

While we're on hip-hop acts, I know most of us are now thinking they'll play on the Pyramid but is there any chance of A Tribe Called Quest headlining Other? I don't see it personally but just a thought.

I was thinking about this and maybe I'm wrong but tbh they're just not that big over here - I don't think they'd be able to pull the crowd for that slot.

Was gonna say Jake Bugg but Gimme the Love only came out last year.

If Gimme the Love is the most hip-hop Bugg song you've heard then just wait until you hear Ain't No Rhyme.

Oh man. Feel a bit sorry for him now. Whoever okayed that was clearly taking the piss.

Speaking as an official forum old git, I like to think that for an act to headline The Other, I should have at least heard of them. I may not like them of know any songs by them but it means they're out there in Grandad Joe Public's conscience.

I've never heard of Boy Better Know so I'm either REALLY past it ot they/he/she's not big enough.

I suspect I know which way this is going to go.

Boy Better Know is the group that Skepta belongs to (I assume you've heard of him - won the Mercury Prize) plus a few of his fellow grime artists who are all on the up and up.

Ah, now I've heard of him, did well on The Pyramid from what I recall. So he's grime's version of 1970s Rod Stewart?

Your mate Wiley has been part of BBK for years.

Maybe I should have asked him. If my bezzie is in, I'm all for them. Clearly big enough to headline.

[Amy Lawn]

Not really into that much Grime, but if they bring the flamethrower I'm there

[McCor]

How about Jamiroquai?

If that lot show up, based on what Glastonbury pays it's artists they'll end up with about £3.50 each

Now I was all for this. Hated it but that's the point surely. I'm nearly 50, I should hate stuff the youth are into. Plus it pissed off a load of Daily Mail readers so that's fine by me.

I know it's not exactly stiff competition, but it's easily the best thing that's ever happened at the Brits. Pretty much one of the best things Kanye's ever done as well.

Adele having to cut short another "Oh... facking 'ell, I can't facking belieeeeeve it" speech so Blur could play was the best thing to ever happened at The Brits.

Seeing James Cordens little weasel face as he had to tell her to get off the stage was gold.

I'm thinking this:

Fri:

Py: Radiohead, The XX

Os: Boy Better Know, Imagine Dragons

Sat:

Py: Foo Fighters, Alt-J

Os: Justice, Richard Hawley

Sun:

Py: Ed Sheeran, The Weeknd

Os: Green Day, Royal Blood

[SwedgeAntilles]

Obligatory upvote for not clashing Radiohead and Justice.

I'm believing the Wiley (BBK) headlining rumours so based on that info I have to believe the Justice stuff (obviously it'll all be wrong)
