MichaelsBeard Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 My thinking is the first 3 lines are all Pyramid acts / subs with a couple of big names and the Legends slot put on. Then the next 2 lines after that are Other headliners and the subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have them down as Other, and they'll surely be headlining whatever stage they're on. I had them down as JP as I don't see them as a good fit for an open-air stage, but the lack of clear choices for WH makes me think they could be there the info I've had is that they will defo be on Other. I can't guarantee that info is accurate, tho my hunch is that it is. The info I had also had them as headliners, tho that part I'm slightly more dubious about, even tho that's a perfectly reasonable slot for them to fill. I'm dubious for 2 reasons: that other info from the same direction said wiley/stormzy/etc would headline another night which doesn't appear to be correct (tho might still be), and because there's other possibilities for headlining at least as good as Justice.

Fair enough. I guess it's not impossible they could sub, would be very strange though. They're just about the last band I can imagine seeing in daylight.

They were due to sub the Pyramid last time by all accounts and were bumped in favour of Weller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible that they had justice pencilled in as other headliners but since booked another act (major lazor?). So justice are now bumped down to headline another stage? Not sure if they shuffle things around after booking bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Placid Casual Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 For me, it has to be: Subs: The National, Biffy Clyro, Katy Perry Other: Major Lazer, Alt-J, The xx Someone's probably said this, so if so I agree with you.

mjsell Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Justice are just about the only act on the bill that could possibly sway me away from RH. But it would all depend on how I'm feeling at the time. I get stressed out just thinking about it. If Justice were to not headline a stage it would obviously be better for me clash-wise but I definitely wont enjoy it anywhere near as much. They are probably the most headline or nothing sort of act on the poster to me. And having watched some of their new set up I can't see them wanting to get rid of the lights and the effects.

The National don't really have an other headline set IMO, The xx's new show is quite dance-y, and lots of lights/mirrors that wouldn't work during the daylgiht of a sub slot.

mjsell Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Was the Katy Perry before Radiohead a joke btw? Because if its not - try and work out the subs/ Other headliners without the National being in a shit position. (I have assumed they wouldnt put the National up against Ed with this due to size issues but I may be wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
