FloorFiller Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Just now, Matt42 said: Katy Perry is the biggest booking that glastonbury has ever had for someone in a non headline slot so therefore she'l be in the position closest to headlining subbing the Sunday, the position that makes the most sense If that's so explain where the other acts are gonna play then Mr. Smartypants.

dentalplan Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 She's a headline sized act. It's an oddity whether she's playing at 6pm or 8pm so I don't see why it matters. Especially considering the festival traditionally puts a huge act on at 4pm on the Pyramid on Sunday and opens the Other Stage with an act that's usually bigger than the ones that follow it.

I don't really like either but it seems that way. But if that's the info Neil has then perhaps its true. FRI, Radiohead, the XX Major Lazer, Lorde SAT, Foos, the National Alt J, Biffy SUN, Ed, Perry BBK, Wiley and the lads Weren't the National been touring with the Foos? Surely they're bigger than Biffy at any rate Haha not only Biffy subbing Other but against FF as well! 4 hours ago, simian_mobile_mushrooms said: I'd go with: FRI, Radiohead, the XX, Emili Sande, Stormzy, Kris Kristofferson Major Lazer, Lorde SAT, Foos, Biffy, the National Alt J, Royal Blood (possibly Run the Jewels), Laura Marling SUN, Ed, Perry, Chic, Gibbo BBK, Wiley Royal Blood are Friday for the 1000th time!

jparx Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I don't get why some of you are trying to turn this Katy P thing in to a "Adele subs Radiohead" scenario. When you're as huge as she is, and you're not headlining the festival, I don't think it makes a bit of difference whether you sub or play 3rd down. Ellie G and Beck is the perfect example from last year. I still personally think The xx will headline the Other and The National will sub Radiohead, but the suggestion that Katy P could play at 6pm on the Pyramid is far from bonkers.

defrio29 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 I think there's some sort of significance in the poster placement, at least for the first first four lines. Major Lazer, Alt-J and BBK are all in the correct order we suspect they will do their headline set on the Other Stage. I find it really weird if Stormzy is playing on the Other Stage before BBK that he is billed above all of those three acts that headline that stage. So, I think Stormzy is definitely on the Pyramid. For The National, I think the think that makes the most sense now is that they are playing third before The xx. So The National - The xx - Radiohead. I'd reckon the reason they are billed that high is (apart from their following) and because they will play a longer set than what is given to previous acts that play in that slot.

FrancisH Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 To me it just doesn't feel likely that an American band not currently touring, would come over to the UK for a one off gig to play the 3rd slot of a festival line up - couple this with them being placed so high up the poster (which I think has a bit more significance than people are giving it credit for) then personally I think they're subbing Radiohead above the XX, at the very least.

If The National are third down Friday, where does that leave Royal Blood? We're pretty sure they're gonna be Friday and your Stormzy rule about Other subs not being above Other headliners would apply to them to.

DownboundTrain52 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Starting to lean towards Katy Perry as legend slot, with Bazza perhaps fourth on Saturday afternoon. If everyone on those top four lines forms the top four of the Pyramid and the Other headliners... Radiohead, The National, Royal Blood, Stormy with Major Lazer on Other. Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Lorde, Barry Gibb with Alt-J on Other. Ed Sheeran, The XX, Chic, Katy Perry, with BBK on Other. That way, our second line acts - the biggest, arguably, all get sub slots and the coveted Sunday teatime spot. Has EE or ME ever referred to it as the legends slot? I thought they'd always called it Sunday Teatime Slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether to believe their bullshit but it'd certainly make the poster running order theory seem correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
