Anyone mentioned George Benson as a possiblility for Sunday? Playing Love Supreme festival along with The Jacksons. I reckon he would be an ideal fit. 

It's his UK only festival appearance of the Summer worst luck 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They've got one seventies funk / disco perfomer in The Jacksons.  *Maybe* two with Chic. I do doubt that they'd have three.

[BlackHole2006]

Completely misread your post. Ignore me I'm a fucking idiot.

Now it looks like Justice are on the Other headlining on the Sunday, does this open up the Friday night headline slot for RTJ?

How so?

They've been moved to the Sunday, Other Stage on the line up list. Many people had already predicted they could headline it, but on the Friday, so it looks like they could be up there Sun night now

Nooo! God, there are so many bands that fall into the "any-slot-but-friday-headliner-against-Radiohead-slot"

Yeah looks like Friday is going to be a real fucking log jam. Radiohead vs RTJ would be a killer. Prob start at the lads from Oxford and then nip over to WH if it happens

Ohohoho, I was thinking I would have to choose between Justice on WH and The National on Other for Sunday night, but it's looking like there is no choosing, it's Justice into The National. Perf.

This would be my plan; provided there's time to see enough Radiohead to make it worthwhile and still get to WH before RTJ come on stage.

Yeah, exactly my thinking too. RH would need to have an extra long slot though compared to RTJ's WH slot. Could be possible if Radiohead have two hours. Watch for 30 minutes, then run over to WH? Doable?! Fuck

Luckily I've seen the Radiohead four times now. If it's your first time, then good luck parting ways!

Brisk Walk From Pyramid To WH The Jewels

Fri: Flips > RTJ

Sat: Solange > The Jacksons

Sun: K-Pez > Chic

 

Then stick a fork in me, I'm done.

What about Major Lazer though? (Can't tell if you're on windup or having a midlife crisis with that one tbh)

[CaledonianGonzo]

RTK would probably take precedence - Major Lazer is just sounding out another option if nothing else appeals and werr not in the mood for Radiohead.

Yep ideal. Now if we can just somehow not have a Radiohead and Flips clash I'm sorted.

Bonobo, The Jacksons, Justice tbh. Can't see Neil's 'Justice on Other' info coming to fruition now. Similar trio, in style, to the last two years, too.

[CaledonianGonzo]

[willsnewman]

Saw Manu Delago last night and it they were pretty excellent. He played with Anoushka Shankar last year I believe; would make a good day time WH booking.

[kingbadger]

So Justice are apparently headlining the Sunday, with The Jacksons on Saturday. Apparently RTJ are elsewhere, so does that leave the unconfirmed but definitely playing Bonobo as the missing Friday headliner? Can't see anyone else on the poster who is suitable and big enough to do it.

Haven't been keeping up but where has the RTJ elsewhere info come from? (Not that I ever thought they'd be back on WH anyway). 

But aye Bonobo surely (and hopefully not them pulling something out of the bag like ATCQ which clashing with Radiohead would fucking suck so much).

A geezer on another (closed) forum I occasionally frequent. I've no idea if he's telling the truth but he claims to have seen the WH lineup, and says RTJ (and Chic) aren't on it. Justice headlining Sun. Sat lineup as per the lineup/rumours page.

@Brave Sir Robin said Chic and RTJ aren't on WH when giving the Justice on Sunday info. Was dreading RTJ being the Friday WH headliner and adding to the clusterfuck Radiohead/Lips clash that I've resigned myself to happening.

He said all that but no other info on who actually is playing (that we didn't already know of)? Hmm.

It's not much really, not "all that". But yeah could well be baloney, I don't know. I'm slightly concerned how many people seem to be taking it as gospel. Hope I don't have to bravely run away....

I still reckon the other headliner will be Hacienda Classical. After Hooky comments about playing his favourite festivals and him liking comments about playing on twitter. He has suddenly stopped replying to any questions about it. He usually can't keep his trap shut. With them being in Bristol in the run up to the festival I would be a little shocked if they were not there.
