Exactly. It has little distinction, just the look of it - it could be Leeds or V or many others. 

Totally this. I always thought its name was pretty funny, but that's just what it is - an-Other stage.

I have also found that, during the day especially, the nature of the bands on there means it doesn't sound that great. Jangley indie bands just aren't all that good during the day on a big outdoor stage.

Need to get more Future Islands on there.

The Other probably has the most foot traffic of people walking through but not stopping there, which doesn't help.

I think it's improved since the new stage and the artwork on the top. I think it's lack of character is known and they are trying to address it. In a way it's a victim of the size of the band that play on it because they draw such a big crowd it has to have a large area, so containing any atmosphere/intimacy is harder.

It's still the NME stage to us old-uns! (It used to be a real paper, you know).

Completely to be expected anyway but Sundara Karma.

I like the Other - normally quite easy to get close to the front and have a better view than at the Pyramid.  Chvrches sunset set year was great, and the sound was massive.

Rusty Shackle confirmed on Facebook.

[funkychick2007]

Rusty shackle are brilliant had the avalon tent bouncing till the early hours! Cant wait!

I've warmed to the Other since it's new incarnation. It has become a great place to watch headliners, The Chemical Brothers in 2015 was a particular highlight.

Oumou Sangaré. Grammy Award-winning Malian Wassoulou musician. Sunday as well via backing vocalist's bandsintown.

I missed this.  Great news!

Assuming they are playing, and with apologies if this has been previously noted, but the Dead Kennedys are playing Liverpool on the Friday and Bristol on the Sunday, so that surely pins them down to Saturday

…well it matters to me

Or Thursday on truth stage. 

And the guitarist self confirmed last week.

Yes, best gig for me at the Other, by some distance.

Me too. Jamie T followed by Chems was my fave time at the Other. Energy and vibe was immense

Only ever seen New Order on the Other stage. No complaints about it from me.

Pegged by QotSA in 2011 but I may well be bias!

Friendly Fires > White Lies > Chemical Brothers in 2011 on the Other is one of my all-time favourite bit of Glasto.

[Gucci Piggy]

The best sets of the last two years have been the Sunday Other headliners tbh.

Nick Mulvey just self-confirmed to play Park Stage on the Sunday

Ah that's good news. Album is enjoyable and I hear he's great live.

[Gucci Piggy]

Puts him 3rd down then, assuming another early finish.

That Friendly Fires set was joyous. I don't think I've ever danced so hard.

Is there a reason they are thought to be on the truth stage? For all their punkish reputation, by today's standards they are surely quite melodic. I could see them being on John Peel, or perhaps the Park, as the Fall were a couple of years ago.

One of the curators/people behind the Truth stage hinted at a big American act coming over especially to play Glastonbury/that stage, which now looks incredibly likely to be the Dead Kennedys due to their tour dates.
