[dentalplan]

So The National are going "electronic-y" for the new album. They must proper want that Other headline slot. Let's give it to them!

Can imagine The National's turn at going electronic will be pretty good, but christ, must every indie-ish band go in this direction at some point? Goddamn Kid A

Major Lazer are easily my most likely pick for Other headline right now. Seems as stupidly nailed on as Disclosure did this year (until the R&L announcement made us reconsider).

Any chance of The Strokes headlining Other? They're definitely not Pyramid headliners these days...

Dream scenario for Other stage is Jane's Addiction playing before NIN. Granted they sounded ropey at Lolla, but I'd still love to see them.

That's not fair. They came from such humble backgrounds, they're still probably clubbing together to buy Julian's mum her first house.

2017 must mark the much overdue return of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, no fucking about 

Hell yeah, preferably high up the JP or park in the dark. Would be class. Long long overdue as you say

This I could go for. Saw them supporting pearl jam a couple of years ago and bigger me they were good.

Anyway, next year I'd love to see Gorillaz and NIN play this stage.  I think Gorillaz would smash it and finally redeem themselves after 2010 (which I loved)

NIN yes, Gorillaz.....Not so sure. I'm just not convinced that their show translated well to a big open stage.

Placebo back doing arenas this year on a 20th anniversary tour, all the hits etc...what kind of slot would they get at Glasto?

doubt they'd be booked at all, but reckon about third on Other if they ever were to be booked

I dunno, it could go either way I think. Wouldn't be surprised to see them headline the likes of Kendal Calling/Y Not instead of doing major festivals, maybe.

About right. Similar slot to Smashing Pumpkins a couple of years ago

I think the fact they haven't already succumbed to that or lower slots at major fests pretty much signifies that they're content just headlining in Europe and doing their own shows here.

Anything that fucks up the Standard Model more (heirarchy is a good one) is welcome in my books. Horrible
