Highly probable this year. My headliners are looking at best to be radiohead Jackson flaming lips. 

Two of which I'll enjoy but wouldn't be anywhere near a must see. 

They hopefully will be mine, with 2 very much "must sees".

I haven't had a must see headliner on any stage since Arcade Fire. Ive loved a lot of what Ive seen since, but beforehand they were not must sees. This year, Im chuffed Radiohead change that... hopefully the lips make it two.

Gonna be tuff to see Radiohead and Wayne Lip and the lads when they're clashing away like billy-o.

That's a fair point actually. I didn't see her last year and I have visions of me kicking myself in 20 years time. She's destined to become as big a female solo artist as anyone from the past 50 years I reckon

Wouldn't bother me that much if they did. And I actually think they will.  Lip up fatty boy would win hands down. But with no info on park acoustic jp and west Holts Sunday at mo them being separate is the slightly favourable option. 

Why?

It may well wind up being the only big festival show she ever does.

Knowing my luck - that will happen

Traditional Glastonbury Friday efestivals clash nightmare. 

Yeah but whilst there are usually loads of acts us on here would want to see they're usually not acts with a huge crossover in fanbase. Like, Portishead vs Chic was an eFests nightmare but they're not similar acts at all, same with Underworld vs Sigur Rós. Radiohead vs Flaming Lips would just be dumb.

[Brave Sir Robin]

If they can put SFA opposite Radiohead, as they did in 2003, they can put Flaming Lips there.

But I foresee a glorious finale to the fest in the JPT

[Zoo Music Girl]

Cave/Pumpkins always seemed a mad one to me, but they still did it. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It wasn't really, though - a nineties grunge band with a penchant for 70s-sheened AOR vs. a gothy murder ballad purveying singer songwriter indebted to Leonard Cohen. 

[simian_mobile_mushrooms]

Are flaming lips that likely? This rumour's passed me by a little bit 

[Brave Sir Robin]

Back to self-confirmations, looks like Honeyfeet, "Manchester's best ethio-trad, barrel-house pop, cowpunk and folk-hop band", are playing (added to playlist).

[Gucci Piggy]

Yeah there are the odd few examples of weird clashes (Saturday night 2014, too), but I think actively expecting it is a bit much. And I think Radiohead/Flips have much more crossover appeal than the ones mentioned.

I think it's officially that time of year where I fuck off Spotify weekly as my default listening and move over to @Brave Sir Robin's playlist until the festival is over!

Lots of early self-confirmations and TBCs/SRs mean there's some great stuff on there already! And some less great, admittedly.
