It's just dawned on me that Craig David is subbing V festival!!! Does that mean he'll get a high spot on the Saturday? 3rd/4th down?

Fourth or fifth down I'd have thought.

I do hope so.  Although it'll mean the Kaisers are in the top 4 instead.....

I have Foos / National / Perry / Sande / Kaisers / Craig David. Both Kaisers and Craig David are very low on the poster.

Hmm... maybe something like this for top 5's:

Radiohead, The XX, Royal Blood, Emeli Sande, Clean Bandit

Foo Fighters, The National, Katy Perry, Kaisers, Chiefs, Craig David

Ed Sheeran, Biffy Clyro, Chic ft Nile Rodgers, Barry Gibb, Blossoms

Would leave Lorde on the other

(haven't compared but guessing yours is close to that)

I think this could be close but Clean Bandit not sure.

If Lorde subs I think Friday/Saturday, I don't see Sunday. We haven't got a complete Other top 3 on the poster yet.

not a prediction, but someone has mailed to say George Ezra is Pyramid on Friday at around 5.45.

Interesting, that makes one place I won't be at 5.45.

So Friday is shaping up to be:

Hacienda > ? > ? > ? > ? > George Ezra > The xx > Radiohead 

Possibly.

Wasn't expecting that - pretty much the same placing he had last time right? Thought his stock had fallen considerably since last time.

can't remember where it came from now, but I've got Royal Blood in there for Friday, who I'm thinking (if friday) might be between George and XX.

Hmm looking at previous clashfinder times they wouldn't fit, but not to say it could be different this year or George Ezra is on earlier perhaps? Or even Royal Blood on before him?

He played 5th last time, it hasn't, he's just been away. I know IOW is weak but tbf Ezra is just below Bastille there. That would defo put Stormzy if in that slot 5th which I expected anyway but also means after RB I can steer clear of that stage.

I think Royal Blood in 4th before him.

[thewayiam]

That time would also work perfectly for The XX 1hr 15 slot and Radiohead to play 2hrs 30.

George Ezra ain't getting a higher billing than Royal Blood  4th for him (and even that seems mighty generous at this point).

Yeah this does seem very odd. Though perversely this would work well for me if Ezra is third, allowing me to go elsewhere between RB and R'head. Not that I am expecting it to materialise.

Well if Ezra is around 5:45 then it can be assured that he is!, that time needs to be out a good 1hr and a half to love him down. Don't get me wrong I agree it should be the other way but those times make it different. Either way, we can forget the 'hip hop' act this year playing 4th and be ready for Will and Jeff in 5th place.

Not sure there's room for both Kaisers AND Chiefs on Saturday.

Hacienda Classical > ?? > Kris Kristofferson > Stormzy > George Ezra > Royal Blood > The xx > Radiohead

I can buy Ezra being on the Pyramid, but I think that timing may be a little off - both Royal Blood and Stormzy are much higher than him on the lineup poster. Stormzy I can maybe see being on before him, but no way is he playing after Royal Blood.

None of the suggestions for sunday night are looking very appealing tbh. All grime/dance or ed sheeran?  Seems like a damp ending to the weekend unless we can just stroll around and find some gems!

Yeah if the Kano information is correct it does leave the Sunday headliners looking a little one sided - not a night for people in to their guitar music, anyway. I'll be very happy with Justice if that's what happens, and I'm sure the smaller stages will cover some more bases, but the main stages are a write off for anybody not in to all that (even Metronomy have a pretty big dancey element to them).

Yeah Ezra is 4th down on the V line up and, like, Craig David, Stormzy and Ellie Goulding are given higher slots so being third down the Pyramid makes little sense.

5:45 does seem a specific time - is there any chance that the person misread 15:45?  But yeah I'm just taking it to mean he's on the Pyramid on Friday afternoon.

I get what you mean but it seems a bit of a narrow view. If you haven't given Metronomy a go (they're about as 'dance' as New Order) then you might get something from that, Justice might be two guys behind mixers and stuff but their sound incorporates a helluva lot of classic rock. And even Kano and Boy Better Know are pretty far apart despite being under the same umbrella. Wouldn't write it all off in one go's all I'm saying.

Even those aside though, there'll be plenty on at the same time and your Sunday night can end well after that anyway.

Are we expecting The National to clash with Solange?

Yeah even if Foos end up getting an extended set it looks almost certain that there'll be at least a bit of (if not entire) clash here.

damn... I think that'll be another one that I decide on at the time. Hopefully The National will have announced UK shows for the autumn by then. I'll be intrigued to hear what Solange's live show is like in the run up to Glastonbury, do we know if she's any good live or not?
