Grizzly Bear would be pretty cool

You couldn't be further from the truth, at least in terms of his current one. I saw him just before EotR last year, and it was a Carrie & Lowell show, but even that was a band of 6 and a stage full of instruments. The Coachella stream was full on pop extravaganza, complete with dancers and Subaru himself wearing an enormous suit made out of approximately 1 million balloons. Sort of thing that would make mardi gras blush.

Yeah I was at the C&L tour. Just expected festivals to be a smaller affair tour-wise.

I also hear she's gonna sing on a song on the new Breeders album and ruin the whole damn thing.

See, I think that has the potential to be amazing.

DJ set from Justice?

[kalifire]

I'd also love to see a set from Dizraeli & The Small Gods at The Park.

They played the Rumshack a year or two ago on the Wednesday and they were one of my favourite bits of the entire festival.

Surely that would be at Arcadia?

[kalifire]

Yeah, fair call. I think Park could work as well, in the same way Jamie XX's set did.

Terrorvision would be fucking spot on too, Tequila's a proper tune, would go down a storm.

Terrorvision would be welcome on the farm, but I'm not sure Park Stage is the right place for them.

Nils Frahm needs to play The Park.

I was going to suggest this too. Too big for the Floating Points/Four Tet/Jamie xx sub slot? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

....on the Pyramid?  Seems right.

I'd say that would be just about right, he could even headline The Park, either would be fantastically dreamy 

[Guest]

Reckon Nils would be more suited to West Holts miself, background noise from the Stonebridge wont do, and he's not going to hold the attention of a Pyramid crowd.

Soz - Pyramid comment was in response to Iggy Pop.

Ah, that makes sense. Iggy for the Pyramid, definitely.

We reckon Brand New could Park headline, or are they more John Peel?

I agree, but in a perfect world - headlines the Other Stage

Subbing JP similar to what Death Cab did last year seems about right to me

Yeah, I can't really think of anywhere else you don't get much sound bleed (as long as Stonebridge play ball). Acoustic would also be a possibility if there weren't so many stages near by. WH maybe.

Was this before Akala on the Thursday night in 2015? If so I caught the second half of the set by accident and it was great fun.

Agreed but not sure where they would go.  Maybe JP as it seems to be less about new bands than it used to be, or possibly the Friday opener for the Other?

Personally I don't care where they play.  They could all squeeze into a single longdrop and I'd figure out how to get in.  Hands down one of the most enjoyable bands I've ever watched.

Will have been a while since the release of his album, but any chance of a return from Gaz Coombes?

Hopefully. Although hes been touring for 18 months now so it looks like hes wrapping it up with a few festival dates. Hoping for a new album asap. Matador is one of my favourite albums from the last couple of years.
