Stage Predictions 2017

[Matt42]

could we get less acts on the pyramid each day this year? If we have quite a few acts that might want longer than usual sets?

[Madyaker]

The reality is that there are so many big names that they are going to have play shorter slots than they usually would. 

[Acid_Haze]

My pyramid prediction:

Fri: Radiohead, The XX, Royal Blood, Emeli Sandé, Stormzy, Kris Kristofferson, Hacienda Classical

Sat: Foo Fighters, The National, Katy Perry, Craig David, Kaiser Chiefs, Clean Bandit, Kate Tempest

Sun: Ed Sheeran, Biffy Clyro, Chic, Barry Gibb, Blossoms, Michael Kiwanuka?, Black Dyke Band

1 more act on each day that isn't on the poster. Lorde to sub the other a la Ellie Goulding in 2014.

I think Lorde is the one hard to place.

[thewayiam]

Surely with more coming out for placing or self confirms each day there is a good chance of something coming this week. @eFestivals thoughts?

[Gucci Piggy]

We're not gonna get the splits until late May/early June like usual I'd assume.

Skepta is going to be playing as part of BBK, I've never understood why he's TBC on the line up page himself, I questioned it at the time 

Metronomy are headlining John Peel on Sunday 

[DownboundTrain52]

Top banter that Biffy Clyro will sub Katy Perry at Big Weekend - before (likely) playing above her at Glastonbury.

Ah, Radio 1.

Ah, Radio 1.

Thought the general consensus was she'd be 3rd on sat under Foos and The National? 

Do the Radio one big weekend positions change anything though? (I know it's a different audience)

Do we think Kasabian could open the other stage?

[FakeEmpire]

The Radio 1 stage positions don't mean anything.  The acts who play basically take any slot in exchange for Radio 1 airplay.

Yeah but they're still playing a higher slot than her at Glasto, just on another day.

[SwedgeAntilles]

They might not be as popular as they once were but Kasabian are still headlining festivals, they ain't gonna be opening the Other.

Aye to put them in the same bracket as Beady Eye, Kaiser Chiefs, The Charlatans and James would be a bit cruel. No doubt they'll end up there somewhere down the line, but right now they're doing a bit better  

[CaledonianGonzo]

No harm in trying to help them on their way though....

Mumford and Sons 2010 for me.

Yep, JPT in the middle of the day.  Even at the time I thought I was too cool for them.  Turns out I'm not, I enjoyed it immensely. 

[Chimps in Balaclavas]

Hi, sorry to hijack this thread. I've not been here for a while (my old ID was DAVA) and I didn't want to start my own thread. Does anyone have any idea who will be headlining the other stage? I'm a bit out the loop this year. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Major Lazer

Alt-J

BBK

Brilliant, thanks Gonzo 

[thewayiam]

Dua Lipa to be 5th/6th Other ala Ella Eyre
Clean Bandit to be low Pyramid
Imagine Dragons to sub Other Friday would be my guess
LDR to be 3rd down Other/JP headliner, Saturday I'd go for it JP.

[sisco]

So.... Future Islands! Where do we think there'll play and what day?

I'm presuming it's the same theory we have with Royal Blood?! Show in the UK on the Thursday and festivals overseas the same week so.... Friday? 

(Now on my must see list)

[kingcrawler]

Yeah they seem pretty certain for Friday, I reckon JP headliner/sub so I'll miss them but not too fussed based on the new album.

[sisco]

Please let it be a Friday run of

Royal Blood > The XX > Future Islands
