Ah, I see. Well in that case I predict Royal Blood for the Friday.

If The XX are headlining the other stage Il be the happiest chap in all of the land 

[Slugworth]

Surprised not to see The Weeknd in todays announcement. Thought he would have been a solid Other headliner

If Biffy sub Foos then I'd agree with that. Can't really judge whether they'll be Pyramid or Other but I doubt it'll be long until we find out.

It's an intriguing booking. A perfect alternative to Ed but they've subbed Foos in the past over here.

On my prediction, the acts are in order of day.

Must've wanted too much doh, as he'd certainly be considered given his popularity.

[Slugworth]

Could be an addition later down the line. Doubt it though

He likes to have his weekends free, has a reputation to upkeep

Well he was down as an exclusive for Wireless in one of their announcement posts/press releases despite some people (including me) choosing to ignore it. Guess it was right after all.

it's dead because the other headliners are Major Lazer, Alt J and The National

Surely that's the Latitude line up?  Glastonbury's demographic nowadays unfortunately.

Haha BIFFY

[supasum]

Expecting to seem biffy subbing fools, only thought against this is if they wanted to pull people away from ed on Sunday, as I think biffy would have the biggest pull of the potential other headliner. 

Is this something that's taken into consideration with placements ? 

[ghostdancer1]

alt-j can only do Saturday, is that right? if so (and assuming Neil's Justice Other stage info is correct), I'll guess:

 

Pyramid: Radiohead/The National/Royal Blood

Other: Major Lazer/Stormzy/BBK

 

Pyramid: Foo Fighters/Biffy Clyro/Lorde

Other: alt-J/Justice  

 

Pyramid: Ed Sheeran/Katy Perry/Chic/Barry Gibb

Other: The xx

My Justice info was Friday or Sunday, most probably Friday.
And my hip-hoppity info was for specifically Saturday.

I think Justice JP and Stormzy in the hip-hop Friday slot.

No.  No, I'm sorry but this is unacceptable.

[zahidf]

I wonder if Green Day was initially down for Sun other, it didnt work out, National became available because they finished the album early and they got them to fill that spot.

 

Just on the basis that the national's other dates are in Aug, that they said they didnt want to play any major dates, and now here they are...

We are going to have to make some sort of Royal Blood klaxon.

They can only play on the Friday.

Damn! Out of upvotes. So accept my thanks for posting in person. Nice one!

[evannn]

From memory of who can do which dates:

Fri Pyramid: Royal Blood, National/xx, Radiohead

Other: Justice, Major Lazer

Sat Pyramid: Biffy, Foos

Other: BBK, Stormzy, alt-j

Sun Pyramid: Lorde, Perry, Sheeranator

Other: Phoenix, National/xx

 

Originally I figured xx into Radiohead, but they seem a bit odd placed if you take Royal Blood into account

Doubt Pheonix are subbing Other, BBK and Justice are bigger.

I don't think there's that much in it between Justice and Phoenix (provided they release a new album). Also was looking to place them third down but didn't find a suitable option above them at first glance.
