Could Chance the Rapper be in with a shout to headline or is he now too big a deal?

Arguments yesterday that he wasn't/was big enough to headline Other.

Undoubtedly strong stuff.  G17 problems when you're worried about spending most of the day parked in front of the same stage.  Was checking out United Vibrations' The Myth Of The Golden Ratio album a few days back.  Pretty hip deep stuff.

He probably could but he seems like more of a high Other booking to me.

Would place him at more of the WH sort of size, but I guess I could be wrong.  Just trying to think outside the list of Kraftwerk / Bjork / Jamiroquai / D. Marley headliners that we've fallen into when discussing the other two nights.

I know no one's really considering Basement Jaxx and they're far from the hottest thing around, but if they brought their full carnival live show to the party I reckon they could do it.

Would Chaka Khan be too similar to the Jacksons?  Would Grace Jones be more at subheadliner level?

Basement Jaxx's only UK show for the year was a charity show for Warchild in Dingwalls a week ago. Sorry.

It's a wee gem alright.  I guess their vaguely nothingy name is maybe why it's fallen through the cracks a bit.  Good spot by Snr. WH.

Fantastic! Saw them play to a tiny crowd in '13 and loved it so hopefully will be repeating it this year (albeit with a hopefully bigger crowd).

[mario man]

Wonderful! Bloody love the last album, need to search out their earlier stuff

[Familiar2billions]

I discovered BadBadNotGood back when i went through the 13 line up listening to acts id never heard of before a week or so before the festival. I loved what i heard and they became a must see act that year. I cant wait to see them back on the farm again!

Also i never realised until just the other day that its the lead singer of Future Islands providing vocals on 'Time Moves Slow' on the new album... Mind Blown!

Good news about BabBadNotGood, will have to go back through their old records. I've only got their most recent, but it's a cracker.

This is sweet jazz to my ears. I wonder if their is a possibility of Sam T Herring joining them if Future Islands play.

Obviously Chaka would be great, hoping for Pharcyde and The Comet Is Coming as well

Never seen them, was hoping they'd pop up. Where we thinking? West Holts? Only know them through Odd Future, but like what other stuff I heard.

Cheers. Heard good things about the record they did with Ghostface as well, although I doubt they'd be playing too much of that.

Yeah was gonna say that Ghostface album is potentially their best, but they don't play it live obviously. Just spotted their first and second albums are up on Bandcamp so I've given them a download this morning. 

[FloorFiller]

I just hope we get the Norah Jones and Usher covers they've played in some of their recent setlists.

Some gems there. I'm getting more and more confident about Crazy P being at G, they have popped up on a lot of lineups in the last few weeks. Would be class.
