ClementsMike Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Elbow seem to be getting plenty of airplay on Radios 6 (A list) and 2 (B list), I assume Radio 1 don't play them anymore? Hard to judge standing till the album comes out, but the spring tour has essentially sold out suggesting still pretty popular. They certainly couldn't play above the sub slot in any case, but I'd say the can still expect to carry it off and it would be popular. It is a little bit odd to 'own' the slot, but it doesn't stop Coldplay and the headline slot. Equally, I don't reckon Elbow would mind dropping down a level either, certainly Guy was quite happy in an afternoon Park slot last year.

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Thing is, Coldplay crop up too often and yet they still play way less frequently than Elbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I would love Jamiroquai to play!! Would go down a storm I reckon, but would west holts headliner be too small for them? Other headliner maybe? They might have come into the mix too late and if everything is already booked there may be no slot for them They might appreciate the coverage given new album and reform etc? Then big arena tour later in the year for the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry49 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Jonny Flynn and the Sussex Wit are touring in March with new album out. Only know the theme tune from Detectorists but amd planning to give the Manchester gig a try. Guess they could play Acoustic, Park or Avalon.

I can't decide if that's impressed me or made me sad Scruff. Possibly both. But yes,I could go for some Jamiroquai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or a forum which is usually quite progressive descending to TrueLAD levels and yukking it up at the video every time Jamiroquai's mentioned.

Although with all the possible stage headliners floating about it's looking like every single night is gonna be clash central (or none of them are booked and it'll be just fine) Aye despite pushing them as a WH headliner for years now, I just couldn't imagine missing an act I properly like to party with Jamiroquai so maybe a daytime Pyramid slot would be cool, around where Madness played this year.

This. Would be great. There's already far too many headliners for me to handle and only 1 has been announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see it myself - surely have WH/some stage headliner written all over them. Think they'd unfortunately be more likely to take a headline/prominent slot at a smaller festival rather than middle of the day Glastonbury (if that's what they were offered, which I'm basing on nothing at all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And can't see any stage other than WH or Other being offered. May be wrong, as 3rd down pyramid would get loads of TV exposure. Have (t)he(y) ever played the farm before? According to setlist.fm they played in both '93 and '95 (third down Pyramid in '95 funnily enough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an argument that they might rather play to tens of thousands there over playing a smaller stage at the same time as a couple of bigger acts. The thing about them possibly choosing another festival rings true though. Certainly seems something Bestival would try but it falls outside their announced dates and I'm sure they'll have a route around the world mapped out as they were quite big in other regions as well.

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Really hoping that WH pulls it out the bag this year given the grim prospects seemingly in train elsewhere. JK doesn't factor into those hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether any of that potential will come to light is another thing mind... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsell Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 After subbing Other before his last album came out he has to be at least 3rd down pyramid nowadays. If Kaiser cheifs and Elbow have been discussed as subs then I'd say Jamie is getting close to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) If Elbow and Kaisers are two of the three there has to be something a helluva lot more inspiring a booking balancing that shit out than Treays.
