rzwodezwo Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Did we see this? Alt-J in an article about Glastonbury: "It's mind-blowing to us to headline festivals but I think we're trying our best to live up to it and fill those big boots people are trying to get us to put on." http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/39447179/declan-mckenna-and-alt-j-on-living-up-to-the-glastonbury-wow-factor?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_radio_1&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=radio_and_music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice 2 x Brixton Academy. Phoenix can sub other. Justice need the dark though and tbh would work much better on WHs. Not sure, I don't see Pheonix playing 3rd down the Pyramid which in essence is close enough to the same.

The only 1 I'd say may change is Emeli Sande for Lorde and her over near the top of the other (just seems to fit better for me for some reason) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justiceforcedave Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 With the greatest respect to everyone saying it must be "this band into that band". Bands get booked where and when they are available, which isn't always where you'd logically put them. It might be Mr Biffy Clyro's Grandma's tea party on Saturday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilfko Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Really can't get into The National and Really not remotely interested in Ed, what do you think my other Headline options for Sunday might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metronomy have confirmed themselves to be headlining John Peel that night. The other stages are up for grabs really... possibly Justice at West Holts (although they could easily also be on the Friday), and people seem to be predicting Cinematic Orchestra for the Park (although not sure if that's based on anything).

Cinematic Orchestra would be immense! On my must see list so fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubic Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Probably giving far too much respect to the poster positionings... plus I fancied predicting something slightly different: FRI: Radiohead, The XX, Royal Blood, Stormzy SAT: Foo Fighters, The National, Chic, Lorde SUN: Ed Sheeran, Biffy Clyro, Katy Perry, Barry Gibb Other: Major Lazer, Alt-J, BBK/(TBA?)

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. Totally agree. I was all for The XX subbing the pyramid but after seeing that show in all its glory in Nottingham it's perfect for a night time headline slot on the other. Would be totally different to their 2013 set as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
