[Little Andy]

I'm bored too. A few massive must-sees for me there already would make it an alright initial line-up : Radiohead, Ed Sheeran, Warpaint, Jamie T.

[Tuna]

Roses vs The National? That'll split my group reet down the middle.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Would quite happily take:

Radiohead/Bon Iver 

Justice/Avalanches 

National/Royal Blood 

Right now. Sign me up Will. 

[Wellyboot]

I know its not real, but my little heart just sank at the Roses/National clash and the Radiohead/Courteeners clash

But its not real, so well done it looks lovely

[Mash011]

Tbf I had First Aid Kit there initially then drafted Of Montreal in and moved them elsewhere. Didn't think about who I had Of Montreal up against.

[stocky3000]

That would do me nicely

Love the idea of Future Islands on the pyramid, think that would go down a treat, same with RTJ

The national vs roses as others have mentioned is pretty horrible as is avalanches vs hives vs xx 

but would snap your hand off for that right now

 

[dentalplan]

oM wouldn't headline Park and there are a couple of others that I think wouldn't return to the same stage so quickly but otherwise it's pretty fair. I actually have one of these stored up but it's so similar I might not post it!

[Mezhyp1]

If be disturbed at given the option of watching Radiohead, Flume or Grizzly Bear, that people would still end up at Courteeners

of Montreal too small? Don't really know much about them.

Hmm yeah I've had a look through to see which ones I've got returning to the same stage and I'll probably move a few now that I know. In terms of acts I've got returning to the same stage these are the ones I can spot:

HAIM - could do ~4th Pyramid or headline JP

Ed Sheeran - obviously isn't going anywhere else

The Specials - if they play they'd surely be Pyramid but I just stuck them in because of Madness going down really well this year

NIN - couldn't do another slot

White Lies - could play high-ish JP but think they're in the same position as Editors now and seem more low-Other filler

Parquet Courts - will probs move them to JP

The National - maybe 3rd Pyramid or something instead

FKA Twigs - yeah maybe another stage for her 

 

Edit: Wow why have White Lies played the Other Stage 3 times in a row? 4th down to 2nd down to 6th down in 5 years. Tragic.

also I think Pendulum was a space saver because I took out SHM and couldn't think of anything else but there it is now I suppose.

[the wonderwhy]

Get rid of the Warpaint/Sleafords v Radiohead clash and I'm all over that

[Mezhyp1]

If the opportunity finally arises to see Jamiroquai and they clash with Radiohead il face no option but to see neither, head for the furthest naughtiest corner of the festival and tranquillise myself 

[dentalplan]

All the stages are closing before Radiohead and reopening after. I thought that went without saying.

[nikkic]

If either of these 2 predictions were even half right I'd be very happy.

I know they took so long to 'finally' play that they wouldn't be expected to return so quickly but Michael's thing about four repeat headliners in 2016 and 2017, U2 setting off touring again next year and the rain messing with their set last time that might make a do-over seem appropriate. I think it's a strong possibility, and it'd also be a laugh if it rained again.

There's never been a clash like this in the history of festivals. I'd probably go Blood Orange > The National, but I'd feel a great deal of pain from it.

This one is much nicer, I'd get to see Esperanza, Diana Ross, The National, Sia, and Warpaint. What a lovely day.

Heh! 

There's logic there. And irony.

The 2016 Friday Clashfuckular FuckFest was bad enough, but yeah. 

Struggle to worry about clashes until after T-Day though, Lawny.

I like you dental but this is just baffling. Some acts are waaay too high... I'm still convinced that Gorillaz are the returning headliner

i'm thinking top two for pyramid will be

Radiohead subbed by Bon Iver

Ed Sheeran subbed by Lorde

Gorillaz subbed by Sia
