Apart from Bjork's shows being more spectacular, her last album went to number 1, rather than 11 for PJ Harvey. EDIT: I'm an idiot, it's the other way round! PJ is bigger!

Bjork's better though Haha, I'd agree on that front, but in terms of potential placement on the Other I think they're both subs rather than headliner. Moot point though as I'm 100% on the 'Björk for WH' train. Also known as the Hyperballad-Mass-Transit-System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also known as the Hyperballad-Mass-Transit-System I think WH would be the ideal, given how much her popularity seems to have slipped since 2007. Plus, W Holts has a much meaner sound system than it did 10 years ago. After Underworld this year, I have no concerns about it being able to pump out enough bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siweltrebor Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 She would be amazing but isn't there some kind of scheduling reason why she is never able to do Glastonbury anymore, I've heard it mentioned in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wouldn't be a big Other headliner, but she could do it depending on who else was headlining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bjork's better though In fairness, Bjork's was a high profile leak, the bloody Metro even put it on their front page! Bjork sold out the RAH and a second night at the Hammersmith Apollo in minutes, so Other headliner isn't unfair at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her and Sleater Kinney are the few unseen left on my 'must see and tour rarely' list. Aw, Keithy, it's just a bastard we live in the UK; if we were in New York we'd be fucken sick of Sleater-Kinney gigs by now. I hope you get to see both them and Bjork though, they're two of the best ever live shows I've seen. S-K were a fucking masterclass in how to do a rock show.

TomViolence Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Aye, I remember it being pricey and contemplated trying for tickets but had already broken my similar rule for Radiohead earlier in the year. I agree that headlining Other is still realistic for her although I'd take WH in a heartbeat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is, LAWN, but she's also dependent on a really good sound system, such is the delicacy and complexity of her (live) material. So it's a massive YES from me, but it has to be on West Holts. If they could reproduce the clarity and depth of sound that we got for James Blake last year it could be completely epic... I'd miss Radiohead for that.

FuzzyDunlop Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Clashing her with Radiohead would be bizarre. West Holts vs Ed Sheeran maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Her 07 gig was fantastic. Maybe the best gig I saw that year. Shes overdue a return! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) I dig the Bjorkstress, but I just dunno if that's how I'd want to conclude my evening. A tonne of Vulnicura and Biophilia tracks aren't gonna light the touchpaper. Edited January 19, 2017 by CaledonianGonzo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastorofmuppets Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm still holding out hope that she'll sub Radiohead. Think she'd be a much better choice than The Xx (the Lips would also be acceptable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 It would be a terrific way to end the mainstages element of the Festival, the actual festival obviously doesn't finish until a lot later, normally somewhere with loud music at around 4am, her set at RAH was incredible so would definitely be going to see her again.

God, I'd love to hear Black Lake live. Interspersed agony of Vulnicura, with some classics and a nice splodge of Medúlla (I have a real soft spot for that record...).
