Pretty close I'd say!

It's not even close I'd say! At least 12 of those didn't even play and most of the rest are on different stages.

What is this voodoo magic?! That's pretty damn accurate!

That wasn't the situation really though was it?, it was a the lineup isn't bad. I'm not saying you can out together a lineup without knowing bands....but that doesn't mean it's close.

[Ollie9917]

Reckon Maggie Rogers will play John peel

[AM91]

Was bored so had a little guess at 3 of the stages.. 

[FrancisH]

Woah there, that's pleasing to look at, you've certainly upped the ante in your presentation graphics of line-up predictions - though I'd be a bit gutted if the content turned out to be accurate...

[Ovechkin]

Have Chase and Status done anything to justify headlining OS again? It feels like similar bands that broke through around 2013 like Disclosure and Alunageorge taken steps forward while Chase and Status done the opposite. 

Strong set of subs on the pyramid, The XX - NGHFB - Lady Gaga would be a terrific lineup for most festivals. #2yearsin1 - all the rumours flying around and that comment from eavis only sets up for a major disappointment in late march

Yes please. Let's hope you have @Will-2609's prediction powers.

You had me right up until 'Alunageorge taken steps forward'  I'd say all hype around them is pretty dead and gone. Wasn't a big fan of their new stuff either.

I agree with you about Chase & Status though and think they're only now featuring in people's predictions as Other headliners because there doesn't seem to be many electronic acts about who'd be suitable for it. Fingers crossed Glastonbury pulls something a bit better out of the bag (although not too good because Radiohead).

New album on the way I believe and headlining Lovebox this year. Think one of the Lovebox headliners has headlined the Other Stage for the last few years now and looks like Frank Ocean is ruled out.

Christ I totally missed that they were headlining Lovebox - I guess there's more to it than I thought then. Opposite Radiohead will do nicely, although I maintain that it's a bit of a shit booking.

I think Alt-J and The Specials are now unlikely due to festival commitments overseas.

[BlackHole2006]

Took me a while to figure out that NGHFB meant Noel Ghallagar and The Lads 

[SwedgeAntilles]

For one reason or another I'm starting to come round to the NGHFB under the Foos idea. Obviously there's nothing tangible to support it but, I dunno, I've got a feeling it might end up going that way.

+1 for presentation.

That Saturday Other just doesn't look right to me though. Chance wouldn't be third down. And I just can't see them going big on grime and hip hop only for that to be mid afternoon early evening and it be followed by LG and Alt J. If they are doing it they are going to make a statement with it I think. I think what I'm saying is you could take the top two out and it would look more likely to me. 

I actually think all three of your days for OS are a bit strong maybe. 

[McCor]

All over you Sunday on the Pyramid!

Sat in the library procrastinating, a sunlight breaks through the clouds and I see a well laid out lineup prediction

it's coming folks, keep at it

(Nice lineup - not too sure about some of the placings but i'd take it)

[Matt42]

Since Haim look to be subbing reading I won't be surprised if they nab a third down slot on the pyramid

No chance, surely.

Presumably they have more bands to announce in higher positions. If the immediate undercard is Haim, Blossoms, Giggs, Marshmello and Halsey that says more about the state of Reading these days than it does about the position in which the same bands can expect to play at Glastonbury.

Just looked at Haim's festival tour dates and Reading and Leeds are all they've announced so far. Presumably if they were going to be touring over the summer and playing predominent slots at festivals they would have been announced for more than those two already?

If they play I'd expect to see them 3rd on Pyramid or late afternoon Other.
