I'm so keeping my fingers crossed that The Lips are subbing The Other so I don't miss Radiohead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I agree. I'm currently going with: Radiohead // The XX Major Lazer Foo Fighters // The National Alt-J Ed Sheeran // Katy Perry Biffy Clyro Not saying that's the most likely, but I can definitely see it coming off & it does all, as far as I can tell, fit in terms of position on poster/when acts are available etc. Its also my preference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Could it not just be Justice > The xx Sunday Other stage? With The National before Radiohead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With The National before Radiohead. I think it would be a complete waste to have Justice in a sub slot, especially when they've actively been booking acts of their type to headline that stage over the last couple of years.

incident Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 1 hour ago, CaledonianGonzo said: If The National aren't Pyramid Subs or Other Headliners could they even be in the JPT? I honestly can't see a scenario where that could be likely. Other headliner, or Pyramid Sub.. Maybe at a stretch 3rd from top on the Pyramid at the absolute lowest. I think something that is being overlooked is that they're not properly "on tour", hence why most assumed they were ruled out before the poster drop. At this point they've only got Glastonbury, then a festival in Denmark about 6 weeks later in their calendar. Unless more shows get added (and most Festivals have announced the core of their lineups at this stage), it appears they're gearing up to play and flying over to Europe for a couple of one off shows. On that basis I have to assume that the slot is worth their time & effort - which means something with a good amount of exposure, prestige, and (by Glastonbury standards at least) cash. All together pretty much ruling out JPT, Park, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With The National before Radiohead. Yes it could, although I agree Justice should really have the dark but I don't see them topping Other unless they are being used as a closing dance act to a headliner in which case their position on the poster is fine.

fightoffyour Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Why not Katy Perry subbing Foos and Biffy subbing Ed? They're all essentially pop acts, and shouldn't there be at least some change in style for crowd churn..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep saying this about crowd churn but I don't think it's a thing they aim for anymore (potentially a change that's been Emily's choice since having more control). For the last 3 years the 3 subs have been below the most suitable headliner (even with slightly odd ones like Beck into Coldplay, they were probably still the best fit for him to play below). Biffy into Foos and Perry into Sheeran would be the same as duos like Foals into Muse, Pharrell into Kanye, Weller into The Who, Elbow into Arcade Fire, The Black Keys into Kasabian.

fightoffyour Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Can't argue with that! The National into Radiohead, Biffy into Foos and Katy Perry into Ed just seems too obvious/uninspired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
