Redbone in Get Out by any chance?

Bingo. You seen it?

Thought it was great (minus the constant Microsoft advertising - I guess they had to get funding somehow)

 

Edit: Bingo probably wasnt the best word to use for this.

Not seen it yet (possibly tomorrow) but saw an video of Jordan Peele talking about using the song. Looking forward to it! And yep it's a real shame he's almost definitely not gonna be there. Damn Star Wars.

As debut films go Peele has nailed it on the budget he had. Reputation well and truly established. I'm really pleased for him. And Daniel Kaluuya has helped himself massively also.

Anyway, back to WH. The lack of names in the frame is making me think Grace Jones is becoming a bigger and bigger possibility.

Thats shitty about Marley they must have just been posted as there was a perfect glastonbury gap last week

[CaledonianGonzo]

Names still in the frame, then:

 

Hacienda Classical

Jamiroquai

Chic

Grace Jones......?

Chance The Rapper.....?

Duran Duran....?

Erasure.......?

Why does jamiroquai keep getting mentioned? Does anyone actually still listen to them?! I thought people had come to their senses by now!

Despite Neil's pretty convincing info - I've run the numbers on my pocket calculator and I've still got good vibes about Kraftwerk turning up.

Until proof otherwise, I am also still on the Kraftwerk Sunday night hype train.

Mainly because I refuse to acknowledge Jamiroquai. At all. Let alone as anything other than mid-Pyramid fodder.

Could DJ Shadow headline?

Is Marley a no go now then? Damn. Was really hoping they had got him this year.

Headlined JP in 2010(?) and I'd say he's no bigger than then. Can't imagine he'd pull a particularly big crowd.

[liamium]

headliners and touted potential headliners across 3 main stages mostly dudes at the mo, reckon we'll see one of Grace Jones or Bjork topping WH - unless i've missed some info firmly scuppering chances of either

Perhaps on the petite side side but if we've a lack of names then maybe he's hiding in plain sight. Same with Soulwax I guess.

Would be surprised if yer Erasire dream came off. Chance has US dates the weekends before and after and I feel that Jamiroquai and Chic are for the big stage.

What about Tribe tho? Really wish Bjork was more likely too.

While a mixture is preferable for sure, last year and 2015's headliners = dudefest.

[the wonderwhy]

I think Grace Jones could be a shout, when was the last time she played?

I still don't think it's impossible, as it happens ... tho it does look unlikely.

True, though there has been at least 1 woman or female-fronted act headlining at least 1 one of the 4 main stages since...2010?

guess it's a 'hope' more than a 'reckon'

Where do we stand on Justice these days? Are they a possibility for WH?

[zeppelin]

I still think Bonobo will step up to headline. 

 

Subbed last time he played. Sold out Brixton, Manchester Academy and Leeds academy in minutes on latest tour. Added a second night at Brixton which sold out (not as quickly as the other night, granted). Adds up to me.

I think Neil had info for them on the Other stage. 

Personally I'd have thought they'd be WH or JP but I'm just a lowly punter.

I'm still after justice for George Davis, still convinced of his innocence after that cricket pitch thing.

The other robberies he was convicted for after his release don't change a thing.

Ah yeah, forgot about that. I also think JP/WH makes more sense but I'm happy to put faith in Neil's info.

I can see this happening too. Too big for Park headliner these days and I've been predicting him to headline JP but WH seems like a better fit.
