Wot? That's not fair!

National aside, I don't think they've any more R1 appeal than anyone else up the top there. Plus they've already done the third down slot so I'm not so sure it'd be much of a deal to them. And they've got a headline set ready to go so could easily plonk it on Other Stage.

Then again tho, supporting Foos a few days before.

Theyve supported the Foos for years. That seems the most likely spot for them, unless they want contrasting subs and put them under Ed

@eFestivals, is the Green Day thing dead in the water?

Very probably. It's not like it was ever really believed anyway, and the only real reason it's still existing is because of what 'the tip off' said about being the same night as Ed (and efests having Ed down for Saturday at the time, and GD only being available on Sunday).

It's not impossible that there's still an Other headliner to be officially revealed, tho I reckon all three are most-likely in what was announced today.

Like the Jamiroquai one I'm pretty sure they're not happening but there's still a slim chance - so for the moment I've decided to leave them there (I have just pruned a few others tho).

Surely it is as suggested the Gibb/Chic/Perry/Sheeran combo on the Sunday. The locals deserve/require it after last year. 

[Superscally]

Aren't numbers 4, 5 and 6 on the poster the other headliners usually?

Opening theme music to the Lion King needs to be played on the PA after Perry. Proper migration level event.

Enjoyed this post a lot

I know she's huge but not convinced Katy Perry will sub. If she was subbing I'd expect her to appear on the poster before The National. Cant see The XX and Biffy not playing Pyramid.

 

poster positions aren't all that. In 2014 The Black Keys were behind all sorts of acts and they still ended up subbing

[Hotchilidog]

Perry subbing Radiohead would be BRILLIANT!

[pastorofmuppets]

Solange is above The Jacksons on the poster when we know she's subbing them. I wouldn't read too much into poster positions

there's egos to be flattered.

I doubt The Jacksons mind too much about that sort of thing nowadays.

I should have specified I meant over The National! Girlfriend is set on seeing Ed Sheeran so need to hope The National aren't Sunday headliners which looks like a good fit for them.

Yup.  That's what I want now.  Anything else will ruin the festival.

Perry into Radiohead would beat the Del Rey into Plant scenes of 2014. 

Teenagers out >>>>>>

<<<<<<<Middle agers in

[giantkatestacks]

I know we think it would be hilarious and it would but it wont be quite so funny for all those parents trying to get under-10s out after Katy Perry so for that reason it clearly couldn't happen. My 8 year old daughter's class is obsessed with her sigh.

FFS. :lol:

He's not saying yours was clickbait.

He's saying other sites will pick up your tweet and run a clickbait story on it.

I think.

ah, OK. Apologies.

I'd take Perry into Radiohead. Two acts I want to see and it'll be easier to slip through the exodus and get a bit closer if I'm already there. If you arent watching Perry and are going to Radiohead you won't want to time that wrong. Will be carnage. 

I Imagine Perry will get a far larger crowd than RH as well.

Could be Sunday teatime. Might explain Bazza BG third lining it. Food for thought.

Definitely think there's a chance of that. I wouldn't bet on it mind..

[simplyrob]

I can see Perry equally playing before the Foo's as much as Ed Sheeran tbh.

The tweet notification came up on my phone and I needed to press the screen to read it.

It's pressbait.

You can't see The xx and Biffy not playing the Pyramid but you can see Katy Perry not playing the Pyramid...?

@eFestivals, do you still think Justice are headlining Other? 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
