Stage Predictions 2017

[FrancisH]

Interesting... so KP surely just 3rd down then? There's always some tenuous crossover between sub and headliner at least.

2 hours isn't standard. 90 mins or at most 1h45 is standard. 

Yeah sorry was reading the clashfinder wrong 

[FloorFiller]

Can't wait for people to continue arguing that Katy P ain't playing third down.

[dentalplan]

nah Emily I don't think this is right at all.

it feels like you took everything that we'd previously established and thought nah lets shake it up a bit

[DownboundTrain52]

Full credit to the people who were calling Biffy under Ed then. That is one hell of an interesting placement, but not too surprising in hindsight - Biffy will be established to a lot of Ed fans who will recognise Many of Horror, Moutnains, Black Chandelier et al.

Interesting comments about the acts playing this year who she views as future headliners. There's a couple in there who've probably dropped off as well, similar to Biffy - but fair play to EE for mentioning them. Would love in 2020 for Biffy to top the Pyramid - not too implausible either going by her words.

Since clashfinders seem to be the cool way to do it now...

As long as it's either on the Friday or the Sunday.....

I'm more confused than before

Only chance of this happening is if your Chic on WH prediction comes true I guess. Got my fingers lightly crossed for you (although not too much cause I'd prefer Justice..)

I'm siding with the theory that there's a pattern in the formatting.

Friday: Radiohead, The XX, The National

T'other Major Lazer

Saturday: Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Royal Blood

Alt J

Sunday: Ed, Katy, Chic, Right Barry

BBK

At this rate I am going to be exploring on the Sunday because those two headliners do absolute nothing for me.

Nah sorry mate Biffy just confirmed to be Sunday. You're talking absolute shite.

Biffy are playing below Sheeran so says Emily which pretty much confirms The xx below Radiohead and The National below Foos.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Hopefully it's Perry before Foo Fighters for me

[CaledonianGonzo]

I've never disliked Biffo Clyro more, and that's saying something.

Why does Biffy below Ed confirm the other two?

Thought you disliked them more than Rolf Harris already? Surely they can't go that much lower?

Running order on poster. Not confirms but I'd be shocked if it panned out any other way now.

The lineup poster looks telling: we have the Other headliners in order, Pyramid headliners in order, so presumably Pyramid subs in order too. The next line? Who knows where it breaks down.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I'm very happy with this Biffy News. I have no need to fight my way through people waiting to see Ed Sheeran as I wont by watching Biffy.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I also prefer them to the Siege of Aleppo, but that hasn't come along to throw a spanner in the Saturday night dream run on West Holts.

[leej7]

Where's the source for this Biffy info, has it just been quoted from EE or is there any written evidence?

 

found the link in the pages previous, no dramas.

Could yet be The National third on Friday. Long shot, but could be.

But. But. But... Katy Perry.... is on... the same lineeeeee

What does this mean!!!

I'm still guessing Sunday but I have no idea why. I reckon it all rests on Nile-Ro. If Chic headline WH, then K-pizz is 3rd down pyramid Sunday. If not, it's a sunday discofest  with a Nilebazz combo and Katy P is on Saturday. 

That's about the size of it.

Though as far as I'm aware there's nothing preventing her being third down on the Friday.

Are there any constraints on when Royle Blood can play?

That she's playing third, much like Lorde is on the same line as the Other headliners so is more than likely subbing Other.

Friday.

Am guessing that's in jest

Oh.
