Stage Predictions 2017

[ghostdancer1]

so yet another bit of evidence that the order of the poster is correct.

headliners in order of day.

at least one of the expected Pyramid subs in the correct position for their day.

the expected Other subs seemingly grouped together and in the correct day order.

basically Katy Perry has been bumped up from the 3rd line because she's a big name.

 

Radiohead/The XX/Royal Blood

Foo Fighters/The National

Ed Sheeran/Biffy Clyro

 

Major Lazer

Alt-J

BBK

 

Katy Perry 3rd on Saturday or Sunday.

Nile Rodgers is doing a Facebook Q&A in an hour.  We need to try to pin him down.

"I love Freak Out. What other songs did you write?" ends up being the only question answered within the time constraints.

as if there'd be enough time for a question after Nile's introduction about how great he is takes up the whole allotted time!

Katy Saturday is best case scenario then Chic Sunday.

Craig David, KC will be two leaving two more for that day. Hopefully there is a 4th there between these and one to open.

So basically we can ignore the preceeding 62 pages as the Biffy news has made all of it wrong.

They are messing with our minds 

I'm of the opinion they have drip fed this Biffy info to mess with us even more. A double bluff. They are the only act that follows the poster order theory...

[CaledonianGonzo]

And Katy Perry is gonna clash with half of Toots and half of Avalanches.

The guy who did the article said The xx were playing underneath Radiohead last night in a different piece so I'm taking that as a drip of something he had in his chopped up interview.

I bet tomorrow's news is that The Jacksons are headlining West Holts.

[jparx]

Katy P clashing with Toots? What fresh hell is this?!

[jparx]

If the first two days somehow end up like

Flaming Lips>xx>RH

Toots>National>FF 

ill be a happy man.

Well as Biffy now sub Ed I see the other subs being totally different to the other headliners too.

So Katy to sub Foos and Chic to sub Radiohead.

Katy could but Chic is on Sunday.

[Muppetmark]

chic ended up being 5th down on V mainstage 2014 so maybe itll go Chic/barry gibb/katy perry/biffy clyro/ed sheeran

I think if Chic are not 3rd down - they'll be headlining WH

That would be too much for the Sunday Squad to handle

I think we're dreaming now, there is no mention of special guest here.

I feel for poeple bothered as this happened to 3 acts of mine last year.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Potential headliners for me:

Fri: Flaming Lips or Radiohead

Sat: Jacksons or Sasha and Digweed

Sunday: Justice

 

Sadly my two main headliners are both Friday - so obviously can't both happen.

[Acid_Haze]

Oh FFS 3 acts I was looking forward to seeing the most this year were The National, Solange and The Avalanches! That really pisses me off, The National will be lost on the Pyramid before Foo Fighters too  didn't they learn anything from Beck and Tame Impala last year? LCD Soundsystem headlining Other worked amazingly last year, why couldn't we have the same with The National, get Alt-J subbing Foo Fighters and they'd do a much better job of it! Then get The National on Other on Saturday.

As you can see I'm pretty pissed off.

For those curious why I seem to care little for Justice, it's more that I haven't heard anything by them, rather than dislike. So if anyone wants to throw me some recommendations, I'll be very grateful.

Love how we all abbreviate bands on here, assuming we all know them...."BBK", "Justice", etc...

I'd start with this, which you might recall was on MTV a bit back in they day…U2 took them around a lot back on the “Unforgettable Fire” tour I believe…

Fuck this festival 

lol jk what a weird lineup 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Usual caveats about availability aside, it is a bit of an odd one.   Someone's put 2 and 2 together and come up with 5.
