If The Strokes get announced for APE, can they really go onto headline? or is it firmly one or the other?

They would do well to sell it out at £70(approx), and I can't see the Glastonbury lineup being any later than late March this year, so that affects them being able to shift tix, which APE would not sign up for… surely.

Nick Cave, Catfish, Christine, The National, The XX… all sub-headline level acts for Pyramid really

I was just thinking the same thing. Also it makes The Strokes playing Glasto a bit less special (to me at least) if they're playing other UK dates..

I think sub-headline would be generous for Catfish but I suppose they have a new album out in April so more material for a longer set. Plus they've played Other a couple of times now so makes sense I guess. I'd go see that set anyway so no complaints from me.

Is Gaga's Enigma show a lift and shift production that would be doable somewhere else or is it very intricate / site-specific?  Cos there isnt the time to rustle up something unique for the G.

Lift and shift is debatable. Show is on a fans YouTube

Fuck it. All she needs is a piano.

Miami Steve’s revue is superb. One of my gigs of last year.

[Ollie 1995]

What's the consensus on Tame Impala? Or have they been ruled out already?

New album in the pipeline plus they're touring Europe in the summer. Free on Glasto weekend..

That it would make The Strokes look like a good booking in comparison.

[Mash011]

I mean as far as I know Tame Impala are headlining every festival they're playing on the planet this year, aren't they? You're going to have to pull out some shenanigans with single sales or whatever to say they they're not at least bigger than Stormzy. They've admittedly not made the jump over here yet but with another album coming you'd think it's only a matter of time.

I think I would rather Chic headlined than some of the names being touted.

General population’s reaction to hearing The Strokes have been booked:

”Really? They’re still going?”

General population’s reaction to Tame Impala:

”Who?”

When they know full well who Tame Impala are.

 

Fcking gammons.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Tame Impala would be the first Glastonbury headliners that even their own mothers would struggle to recognise.

Can't wait fella, bought the live CD set and now kicking myself for not going to the Liverpool show.

Not a fan?

Seen them both and whilst I'm a huge fan of The Strokes, Tame Impala definitely put on a better show

Well a field full of people that weren't leaving disagree with you

Aye, we were very much looking forward to Gorillaz, but didn't get drawn in by the show and we chipped off somewhere else part way through. 

Wish I had

[Rubber Soldier]

I’ve been working on the understanding Tame Impala will be headlining the Other one night. Based on no information by the way, purely on the fact they’re active, headlining festivals round the world, and don’t fit anywhere else on the farm after subbing Adele last time.

Have we completely ruled out the chance of a return from Neil Young?

In the country the following week, as far as I can tell isn't exclusive to pseudo-BST, has been 10 years since he last did it, and above all would be an infinitely better option than The Strokes.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It would certainly be out of left-field.

I tend to agree with that 

[Gnomicide]

Didn't Nile Rodgers write Last Nite? Chic can fuck off, suddenly I'm on board The Strokes train.

 

[Xeph1995]

Chic would be such a better booking than Tame Impala and the Strokes.

Would love to See Nile and hitmaker in person

No, that was Tom Petty.

Fucking hell man don't do this, I'll start hoping for it
