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

 

I just had to google them. Sounds like it's a record label with lots of collaborators from the grime scene.

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

Can't see Major Lazer being anywhere other than Other headliner. 

So it'll be them, BBK and Alt-J I reckon, though no idea on the order 

[TunaBaby]

According to their booking website alt j can only do Saturday, but don't know if I can see them subbing foos or BBK so not sure where to place them really

So that means one of: 

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

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

 

Probably The National. I wonder if they'll get the Pixies/Smashing Pumpkins treatment

ah ok

so LOTS of blokes ranting then as opposed to one?

sounds fun

[ConorC]

Fri: XX > Radiohead

BBK

 

Sat: Biffy Clyro > FF

Alt J

 

Sun: Katy Perry > Ed

Major Lazor

 

National/Lorde 3rd down

[FuzzyDunlop]

It will be interesting to see the crowd they pull. 

Not my thing, but a very good booking. Good to see something different headlining the other stage. Fair play.

Could Major Lazer do West Holts?

I know, the thought of it makes me shudder.

Some of them actually wear TRACKSUITS AND TRAINERS as well.

Stay well away imo.

If Alt J can only do Saturday then they must be on the Pyramid then.

I'd like Major Lazer to be Sunday, fun end to the festival, but I can see them being Friday against Radiohead very easily.

Putting Major Lazer against Ed?

 

You're not very good at this are you

It would be perfect for me, but I can see them being up against Radiohead (sadly for me)

[Mezhyp1]

Fuck me I can't believe they're actually headlining the other. That's a tremendous booking

If the 3 other headliners are BBK/Alt J/Major Lazor, who's more suited to going up against Ed?

I suggested this a while back, the acknowledged headliner but playing 2nd in a set just a bit shorter.

Not really, Other sub would have been just right but it's another of those where the topping act isn't necessarily the bigger act.

If The National don't get at least a 60 minute set then we may as well end it all now as all hope for the world has gone.

None of them. Biffy will be up against Ed I imagine.

 

Neil's info has BBK up for Saturday other and Alt-J can only do Saturday so they're your subs for Foos. Biffy headlining the other against Ed with The National in support is my bet.

Thats the most logical thought to me.

Smashing Pumpkins got 75 minutes

[simplyrob]

Katy Perry 3am in Hell would be fantastic.

l'll be at the Foo Fighters 95% but I think it's a great booking for bbk on the other stage and some people will love it, make their weekend.

Still not getting where the crossover is between Ed and Major Lazer but ok.

Wasn't aware that Alt J could only do Sat.
