I know tons. Get to know more people.

Ed Sheeran + Major Lazer fans?

Do I have to?

I do know quite a few Ed/Biffy fans though.

P sure she'd get 3rd Pyramid or Other sub. She's bigger than Sande now.

She's more popular than Jesus right now.

I've had no Alt-J info, apart from the public klnowledge they're only available on Saturday.

Word i had long ago was hippodyhoppity headlining the Other on Saturday - and what Emily's said seems to bear that out.

Sorry hard to keep up with all he information that come and goes.

Hopefully it's still Saturday and the potential Radiohead clash is out the window

She is friends with Taylor Swift, in fairness.

Sande is nothing. NOTHING! 

You hear?

Similarly she only has about twelve fans but they're very devoted.

[Matt42]

Could alt j be returning to the exact same slot as two years before like vampire weekend did in 2013?

them third down Pyramid Saturday would work... can't see why it wouldnt

Radiohead / The XX / The National / Stormzy

Foo Fighters / Biffy Clyro / Alt J / Lorde / Kaiser Chiefs / Craig David

Ed Sheeran / Katy Perry / Chic / Barry Gib / Emeli Sande

other headliners 

Major Lazer, Royal Blood (sub)

BBK

Justice

 

(Also I know what I've done shh)

BBK Sunday @eFestivals?

 

Just noticed you've moved them there, Alt-J Saturday and Major Lazer Friday.

[Divein]

@eFestivals Any reason why the rumours page has been updated and all the grime moved to Sunday? 

[kingcrawler]

If we're still going with Justice on Other then who else if left to do West Holts that night? Chic again? Maybe a weak headliner in The Cinematic Orchestra?

[Tuna]

Given The National's position on the poster, I cannot see them being 3rd down on the Pyramid.

So that means one of: 

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

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

 

My money is on Major Lazer. If BBK are Sunday, though, I don't really know how this is all going to line up, clash-wise. Lot of overlap no matter how I rearrange.

Which would open up that Sunday 3rd Pyramid slot

[FloorFiller]

As much as I love em, out of all those options (that we haven't already had info on such as Alt-J on Saturday, BBK headlining Other) The National seem like the weakest link and the most likely to be lower down the lineup imo

Radiohead, The xx, The National - Major Lazer
Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro - Alt-J
Ed Sheeran, Katy Perry - Boy Better Know

Seems low for them for sure but this could just be a case of them trying to fit in as many big acts as possible.

[thewayiam]

So the hip Saturday is now Sunday. BBK, Justice, Stormzy and Wiley moved over.

ML, alt-J and BBK as Other headliners.

[jparx]

I know a lot of you don't like reading in to the positioning of the poster, but I still think all of the acts on the second row will be in featured positions on the lineup. The National won't sub BBK on the Other when they're the 5th name on that poster. 

The idea has been floated before, but what about Katy Perry in the Sunday teatime slot?

Well neither of Justice or Stormzy are playing 3rd down Other so something has to give.

It looks as if the positioning of the poster tells us the Other headline trio with Neil's tinkering, tho I may be speaking too soon if one of them isn't a headliner.

That'll surely be Gibb but I think Perry could easily play 3rd down. Bash out an hour of the hits on TV.

Aye she's definitely the act who would go down best during the daytime, and although she's a bigger deal than all that have come before her they do seem to have a habit of having a big female popstar third or fourth down the Pyramid one day. Third on either the Saturday or Sunday could work.

[Tuna]

Is that a featured slot, then?

Yep it's why Beck subbed above Goulding. If they put her as sub it'd have ruined the pattern.

[Tuna]

Fair. Didn't pay much attention to last year.

That is an absolutely unreal Saturday.
