Biggest qualm here is the order of Phoenix/Courteeners. Decided in the end that Phoenix vs Foos and Courteeners vs The National made way more sense than the other way around, and poster positions also suggest this (even though they aren't gospel).

Other: Major Lazer / Lorde / The Flaming Lips / George Ezra / Circa Waves / Charli XCX / British Sea Power / The Coral / Elbow

West Holts: A Tribe Called Quest / Anderson .Paak and the Free Nationals / Thundercat / Sampha / Tinariwen

what are the chances of seeing a jamie xx secret set at some point?? missed him the year he headlined the park so hoping to catch him somewhere (preferably at night...)

The last clashfinder posted is not too bad for myself. Most the stuff i miss i see at primavera ,  just a bit gutted about missing lorde as i will want to be at XX to get good position for radiohead (and i like XX).

Think he may be announced for Arcadia, has he ever done it before ?

There's absolutely no way Liam Fray will agree to go on at the same time as The National. They're his favourite band.

Also I thought George Ezra was playing on The Pyramid, not the other

[Gucci Piggy]

Would Liam Fray really have the sway to refuse to play a certain slot because he wanted to see The National? That triple rhyme was entirely accidental I hate it.

And would he really refuse his band a Glasto slot on that basis?

Info had him playing at a specific time which seemed wayyy too high for him (third or fourth down) so some people assuming the Pyramid info was off and he's actually on Other (which would make far more sense - he hasn't done anything, at all, since last time he played).

Neil's info was 5:45 Pyramid which seems a baffling slot for him (3rd down Pyramid) and we're p sure Royal Blood will be in that slot. So at least some of the info seems to be wrong, either the time or the stage. The slot I've put him in would start at 5:45 on Other.

The crowd on the Pyramid for him last time he played was massive. I know because I got ambushed by it making my way to Burt Bacharach. Not sure how his success as artist is now but pretty sure it hasn't dwindled since then...

He hasn't released a note of music since last time so it'd be a bit odd to have him bumped up a couple of slots on the Pyramid. Mid-Other seems right for sure, possibly with a single released beforehand and playing a bunch of new songs + his old stuff.

That's fair enough then. I'm not a George Ezra follower so didn't know how big he was. Mid afternoon seems about right.

That is a cracking effort.

Though The xx, Lorde, Future Islands and Anderson Paak clash is worth crying over. 

[Memory Man]

it is a cracking effort but im going to call Wild Beasts 7th down on the other laughable and also Haim 2nd on the other equally laughable. 

I'd have WB's higher and Haim lower. I would also possibly have neither of them on the other stage but thats another matter. I think WB's would be wasted on the other but then again their last 2 performances were park and JP so they might fancy a different stage and that could only really be the other.

WB's have headlined the park before and are 5 albums deep. 7th would be an insult.

I see Haim as a low pyramid slot. They're on the cusp of releasing album number 2 and it will be unknown to most people including fans by the time they play, if it is even out by then. Playing a load of new songs no one knows and a handful of old ones would not be an other sub, surely.

Wild Beasts really aren't that big. Maybe a place higher but that's about it. Have thought they'd be on Other this time round for a while now but also think if that's where they end up they'll have a bit of a shit crowd a-la Young Fathers in 2015.

Think you'd be surprised about Haim - expecting them to have a very prominent slot, and don't think Other sub is outlandish at all (although considering their new album won't be out until a couple of weeks later, maybe third instead).

[Memory Man]

im biased cos they're Leeds through and through and I love them. They would be wasted there really but could see them playing it for the coverage.

Higher in JP would be my preference. Having said that they only played a 900 capacity room at live at leeds and i don't think it was even full.

Shame as they are fucking marvellous and shit all over 80% of the bands on the main stages.

Aye, thought their new album was their weakest one yet but even then it was still pretty good, and everything that came before was amazing. Shame that they abandoned the Limbo, Panto sound so early - couldn't get enough of that album when it was released. Had never heard anything like it.

Liam Fray liking The National makes me think of this

agreed! I don't mind their new one but I do think their first two albums were their best. Their later efforts have at least seen them go off in different and interesting directions. How many bands actually make it to 5 albums these days, pretty great stuff.

Would love to see them do a 1st/2nd album show but I think there is very, very little chance of that ever happening.

...Two Dancers remains one of my favourite ever albums and Limbo, Panto & Smother were ace too but my interest in WB has sadly waned massively since then though .

But I'll probably still be there for their Glastonbury set - especially if they're as low as some people have predicted.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Radiohead/The xx 

RTJ/The National 

Justice/Haim 

Despite all the clashes, if I get those six as my headliners/subs; shut up and take my money 

[Gucci Piggy]

Tbf I'd have probably had Wild Beasts a little higher but there's no one I could shift down in place of them, and Pyramid/high-JP are so stacked that I can't really move any of my Other acts to there very easily.

[jparx]

Looks like there is a decent chance I could catch all of The Flaming Lips then dash to the end of The xx. 

This prediction has zero major clashes for me so I am already dubious mind you 

Sunday looks fantastic with Honeyblood > King Gizz > Laura M > Gibb > Chic > HAIM > Justice.
