Outside the box and has me ready to be shouted at - but what about this.

 

K-pop at Glasto?

Same.

And Kevin Parker’s slightly clumsy quotes last year seemed to confirm it.

That does not confirm Tame Impala and it won't be them.

Should be space for it somewhere being a world arts festival, maybe afternoon on west holts.

I think (hope) there is a good chance Neil Young could be a possibility? Different band than last time and as far as I know bst isn't an exclusive... 

 

Seems more plausable than the strokes imo

I love the fact that, with very little to go on, we have convinced ourselves that it is The Strokes so much that people are pissed off and looking forward to them in equal measures as if it is a confirmed fact.

Nah, they've all been ruled out.

I'm so happy I earned a down vote off that jj fella.

Actually I'd see some fun novelty like that as more of a proposition for Pyramid, Other, JPT or Park before WH really. But yeah, some K-Pop could go down well. IMHO the more variety you see in a given day, the better. When the acts are distinct from each other it means you feel renewed watching them and can remember what you saw afterwards.

Keep this hype train in the station please, I don't want to go into fully Shakey-or-die mode and then get depressed when the Arctic Monkeys get announced.

Blackpink are at Coachella, so they do festivals. I might be in the minority, but I'd love a bit of K-pop at Glasto.

This may sound ridiculous, but Calvin Harris? I assume he would demand too high a fee and would rather rake it in in his Las Vegas residency slot all summer. 

[Razza_bezza]

This would be a moment if gaga did make an appearance with Bradley Cooper like in Vegas last night

Was there, loved it.

One way or another if it's Glastonbury or APE, get this into my summer schedule once more.

For the love of God Emily, if it means binning off Robert Smith and his sweaty arse, please please please

If he was going to perform his tunes as live as possible with guest singers then I would be happy to see him headline.

As a dj he's not worth the money.

Imagine this. The way to make the Strokes the greatest headliner ever. Ignore arguing over the order, let's assume the Strokes are headlining and acknowledge fans of the other bands will argue they should sub.

Saturday Pyramid:

The Strokes

Interpol

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Vampire Weekend

Some other good stuff

A hangover and a bacon butty

Size wise you could definitely fit Blondie and PC below I'd say, though I would know where to place Talking Heads...

Yup. Indeed I was. Was talking about size wise... The order above is the way I'd place it, unless VW came out with another big record before Glasto...

VW are bigger than Interpol.

VW would defo be above Interpol and YYY tbf. Interpol were like 3rd down Other in 2014.

Welcome mate.

[Superscally]

VW were bigger than Interpol. I would say Interpol would be above them at this exact point in time, but surely VW wouldn't show without another record that would bump them up to 2. Not the point anyway. I'd just rather have VW fourth so I could have my tea during them and not miss the YYY's ?
Just how brilliant would it be? Unfortunately days that make sense are very really the remit of the Pyramid stage bookers and life just isn't that cool anymore. Maybe in the distant past Leeds could have puled that off, but these days very unlikely..
