Hi Neil.

[CaledonianGonzo]

One hand it's a bit of a gamble as they're a long way from being a household name and probably unproven at attracting large crowds.

On the other hand, they should be providing grime with a large platform(s), and if it gets up the noses of died in the wool traditionalists then I'm all for it.

It'll be interesting to see how big a crowd they pull. Obviously The Sheerantor will pull in the masses but how many who don't fancy him will be attracted to BBK?

[Tommy Dickfingers]

I think you lot on here need to get out more...

 

Great booking, it'll be a rousing success. Wonder what this means for potential Skepta and Wiley solo shows.

BBK are Other headliners... 

I've not heard much about them, but could someone fill me in on what they've done to merit this?

Literally praying for anyone decent on JP or Park.

Despise Grime!

Grime is currently cool. 

So if you throw loads of grime artists on a stage shouting at people desperate to fit in it'll succeed. 

 

As much as I enjoyed Skepta last year on the Pyramid, I'm still without a Sunday headliner.

You're not Neil Lonsdale?

Got upset whenever anyone who wasn't four white guys with guitars was booked, liked starting petitions....

[FloorFiller]

Aye Sheeran is probably the worst choice of headliner they could've put them against really (I mean, he even pops up a lot in grime circles/videos). Think their crowd will be pretty sparse but hopefully not too much so, but still hoping for Justice on WH to finish my weekend with.

Ah ok lol

No no, I get upset when there is nobody Prodigy like or essentially 90's dance playing, although I haven't tried starting a petition yet hmmmmmm this could be an option

Sadly that's what I was thinking too. Grime is "cool" right now but to be honest it sounds like shit. I love hip hop and rap but grime is just a shouty, angry mess. 

 

Ed, BBK... Good grief... Hoping WH or JP have something better than this

Not got a clue who they are. Is it the beginning of getting very old when you have literally never heard of one of the major stage headliners?

Haha! I did actually feel genuinely old watching that video posted above. I'm a big fan of hip hop generally and grime when it's not all shrieking like that, but I found myself muttering 'what a racket'. I'll be 40 in September. This is the state of me. Muttering about music I don't understand. How did it come to this?

40 next feb and couldn't agree more !

[stuartbert two hats]

I prefer Grime to most hip-hop I reckon.  Not exact a connoisseur of either TBH, but I love me a bit of bass and Grime seems to have more energy.  I'd certainly much rather watch that than Jay-Z.

I'm only 32 and think it's a racket... Its not looking good for me 

[cammie81]

Maybe then this is the year they don't close the Park early and have the XX as a not-so-secret headliner.

Hahah that must explan it I bet your opinion has changed by next Glastonbury lol

[CaledonianGonzo]

It may be a racket and it may startle the cocoa and slippers demographic, but it's a better booking than Jake Bugg.
