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. 

 

They'll get at least an hour wherever they play, I wouldn't worry about that

told ya it was gonna be hippotihoppity on Saturday.

 

Which asks the question where Alt-J are going to play, it feels like their popularity isn't as strong myself.

Tbf though it's still not Liam, Justice and Wiley ;p

[Mezhyp1]

Whether or not its your thing, the crowd here are very very very very into it. They'll be very popular. You only need to look at the crowd Skepta got last year to see that 

[kingcrawler]

Given Foo Fighters will have a long set anyway, I could still see alt-J and BBK both playing Saturday Other with alt-J on first.

Yup. 

I guess they'll either be before Foos, or headlining JP.

[shuttlep]

Poor alt-J if they've been lined up as an Other headliner and then moved somewhere else which doesn't suit them as well again.

[the wonderwhy]

Radiohead // The XX // The Flaming Lips
Major Lazer // Royal Blood

Foo Fighters // Alt-J // Emeli Sande
Boy Better Know // The National

Ed Sheeran // Katy Perry // Chic
Biffy Clyro // Lorde

Is this whole Saturday hip thing more than just a headliner you are expecting?, or could we have alt-J below BBK?

For some of what alt-J are appearing at this year I think a JP could work, can't see Biffy dropping down to do Other headliner but I wouldn't rule out Biffy before Radiohead.

The National into BBK will be the biggest mass exodus of a crowd from stage in world history

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 

Is she bigger than Mark Ronson or Ellie Goulding or even Pixies?

I think there's a possibility that the booking agency has the wrong days for alt-J and they're not going back and forth from Germany. Would suit there being a missing Other headliner Sunday.

I like the idea of the Other headliners being in order on the poster but info obviously suggesting otherwise.

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.

Haha 

Seriously. I think she's the only one who would do it without subbing Pyramid or headlining Other.

[Gucci Piggy]

Reckon the Other headliners are the 3 together on the poster and everyone above that is Pyramid. Which would make either The National or Katy Perry 3rd down.

Or alt-J are subbing BBK on Saturday and everything else is just how we were all predicting it.

No chance, or Lorde up again Perry.

I think it's too early to guess yet.

[Divein]

Didn't Neil have information that Alt J were Saturday headliner and Can Alt -J only do Saturday? 

I also agree that Major Lazer are the other headliner and if Justice 8pm is correct then I doubt it's Justice into Major Lazer.

So BBK are Sunday? HOPEFULLY

The booking agency website has Hurricane Friday and Southside Sunday. The info was that they are an Other Stage headliner, unspecified day (although we assumed against Foos because they said they knew Foo Fighters were playing).

I've been mooching about on a Hurricane/Southside forum for info on days of acts and yesterday the users were saying that alt-J's dates don't fit with the rest of the acts, though I'm relying on Google translate so I don't know much more than that.

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

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

Are you kidding? Ed Sheeran and Major Lazer are about as mainstream as it gets right now, the crossover is yuge!

You could be correct, I think at this point it's just too hard to tell. Biffy Clyro and Katy are the only one's on the 2nd row I'm fairly confident of Pyramid.

[Gucci Piggy]

Could see Perry being 3rd down on account of her being a pretty leftfield booking for Glasto. People were even suggesting her being in the teatime slot if they'd done away with the legend.

Radiohead / The National / Royal Blood

Major Lazer / Lorde

Foo Fighters / Biffy Clyro / Katy Perry

Boy Better Know / ???

Ed Sheeran / The xx / Chic

alt-J / Emeli Sandé
