Ellie Goulding, friend of Taylor Swift, 'international/current/relevant pop star', had 5 platinum records (300k sales each) when she subbed Massive Attack on the Other Stage

Lorde, friend of Taylor Swift, 'international/current/relevant pop star', has 1 gold record (100k sales) and she is too big to be on the Other Stage and deserves the slot Ellie Goulding came back to after a couple more massive hits and another platinum album.

Taylor Swift is a friend to everybody.

THE NATIONAL CAN PLAY ON OTHER BUT LORDE CAN'T OKAY?

Lorde is a radio friendly successful artists, The National aren't and are very niche.

[Gnomicide]

Is that the first forum outing of niche this year or have I been reading the wrong threads? 

[Matt42]

are we in the mind that other sub and 3rd down Pyramid are vastly different slots in terms of size?

[Matt42]

My argument isn't that Lorde is too big for an other sub slot. It's that I reckon if she's playing it's on the Pyramid

No I don't think they are either. And Other sub is couple of slots higher than I would have expected her before the poster came out but that's just how it looks to me.

If they have Katy Perry, Ed Sheeran and Emeli Sandé taking real estate on the Pyramid, they're hardly gonna be scrabbling around for that lass off Royals to sell the show to the people at home.

I'm not at all convinced that Emeli Sandé is a bigger pull than Lorde, especially when the latter will be fresh off the back of a new album.

That's not what I was saying. I meant she's a big pop name that's bound to be on the Pyramid because she's a Radio 2 darling. Debating whether Sandé on the decline is more widely appealing than Lorde on the rise is just not in the realm of what I go on the internet for.

[Gnomicide]

Boy Better Know confirmed as one of the Other Stage Headliners. 

 

[Divein]

Ahhhhh they're going to be Friday arnt they.

 

NO NO NO NO

[Memory Man]

interesting, a change in what some may have expected altho I believe it was predicted a few weeks back!

I keep saying this but there are going to be some BIG acts in slots lower than some of us might have expected I reckon!

NO NO NO NO

@eFestivals has them down for Saturday. 

[zeppelin]

Wasn't Neil's info always that BBK know were headlining Saturday? Or did we just choose to not believe that? 

[Tuna]

Neil's info looks good - even though a lot of us, myself included, were extremely sceptical - fair play. Good to see Glastonbury embrace the direction of current music. 

[nikkic]

So who were the other 2 headliners according to Neil? Alt J and Justice?

I think it was that Wiley was headlining Other, which then led to lots of discussion about would BBK headline or was the info bad. 

Think Stormzy & Skepta/BBK being on Saturday was seperate info but fits with the first 

[willd255]

I reckon that line on the poster is our Other headliners then

 

Major Lazer - Alt J - Boy Better Know

[ConorC]

What a moment for the grime scene. Wow.

I must be entirely out of touch with music nowadays. I literally have no idea what or who boy better know is or are.

If they are the Saturday, maybe it's Alt J - BBK - Lorde

[Tuna]

So that means one of: 

• Biffy Clyro
• Alt-J
• Katy Perry
• The National
• The XX
• Major Lazer

aren't Pyramid sub/Other headliner...?
