Headliner poll

[russycarps]

Only a cloth-eared wretch wouId want to go and see Ed, and thankfully most efesters have exemplary music taste so don't fall into this category. The poll results are no surprise at all.

God bless efests!

[Hugh Jass]

We should do a "who did you see?" poll afterwards to see if the results match up.

[Sallyjk]

I haven't missed Mr.Grohl yet in a UK tour and I don't plan on it just yet.

Having witnessed an interesting individual Thom performance I would love to see Radiohead together, might blur out some of his oddities.... And I've always been a creep.

Also getting stuck at Ed Sheeran in the crowds I have now managed to unintentionally see him on two separate occassions which is quite enough for me.

The Foo Fighters and Radiohead for me this year I think.

Definitely going to watch Radiohead. Saw them in 94, 97 and 2003. So no way am I missing them in 2017. Will watch Foo Fighters too. Watched them a few times at Glastonbury, Reading, Southampton, so be good to see them again. I'm not going to see Ed.

first year with none of the pyramid headlicers ... and no subs this year too .. gonna be an interesting year exploring some of the smaller stages

Flaming Lips are definitely on Friday but I don't think we've had any indication as to where they'll end up, so could be a JP/Park headline slot but could also easily be lower down on the Other.

Bloody hell that'd be the one. Lips on Other, finishing in time to see XX sub RH....

[FuzzyDunlop]

If Radiohead & Flaming lips do not clash - I am seeing Radiohead, Ill be elsewhere the orher 2 nights.

If they do, I might watch the Foo Fighters. I do want to see one more Pyramid Headliner. This may be my last chance

Definitely not watching Ed.

No, most efesters follow 6music and that is all so if it's not Friday eve or Saturday early evening it's not an issue. The outside world may have interest too but they aren't stuck on one radio station with the inability to turn switch.

[squirrelarmy]

Its the like of radio stations like Capital which have a 5 song playlist repeated every half hour that limits music. I don't know how people can listen to it all day. 

[slash's hat]

I'll be nowhere near Radiohead. Foos, as someone else said, was looking forward to them 2 years ago but not so bothered now but probably be there. Ed will be there as kids want to see him and I dont mind him really. 

[MilkyJoe]

If I manage to get there, Friday - Radiohead are a definite. Saturday - I can take or leave the foos so will see what clashes, if nobody really jumps out then I may do half and half. And despite my love of gingers, on Sunday night, I'll be far far away from the pyramid!

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Nothing will really be decided by the group until were there however I think we will see Foos & RH. I've seen Foos quite a few times before but it's been over a decade since I last saw them. I've seen RH a couple times before and given a straight up choice of RH v Lips I would normally pick Lips but I have lips tickets for August. One mate going is a huge RH fan and another a massive Lips fan so I will have options of both and decide on the day.

Doubtful I would see Ed. I think he's a talented kid but not really my bag.

Who knows where the spirits will take me though.

[sloseph]

I will 100% be at Radiohead, I really hope they don't clash with Flaming Lips but there's no way I'm not seeing Radiohead play the pyramid 

I'll also be at Ed, I've been a massive fan since before his first album and its been really good watching him get huge but I've never had a chance to see him yet so im quite excited for that, but I could sacrifice him if there's a clash 

So far I have no plans for Saturday night but I'm sure that won't last

Is 'following' a radio station the same thing as sometimes having it on in the background when I'm doing the dishes?

[Lubic]

Just Radiohead it seems. Wouldn't mind seeing Foos, but they ain't getting picked over Warpaint on the Park, nor Alt-J on other.  Sunday night not looking great so far

Yes because you should what radio station to have on in the background ; p

[Madyaker]

It's still looking like just Radiohead for me. Yesterday I tried (once again) to get into The Foos, I even watched loads of gig footage but they just do nothing for me. I'll likely opt for Alt J instead, even if the rest of my group go to The Foos.

Don't you know that's how cults start? 

[chrismcb]

Looks like it will be all for me. Want to see Foos and Radiohead (need to catch up on the more recent stuff) and the wife likes Ed Sheeran so will be there for him also. I don't hate Ed as much as many on here seem to! ....but he is everywhere!

[Bisque]

Castle On The Hill & Best Of You are going to sound amazing on the Pyramid.

I'd be torn right down the middle between Radiohead and ATCQ, but it sounds like my Glasto buddy is much keener on O'Brien and co so that doves that problem.

Foos and Ed can get in the sea. Justice would be a decent enough Sunday closer. Love to finish with a party. What's the score for Saturday night? Alt-J, Jacksons, ... ? Might be going off-piste. Shoop shoop!

By the sounds of it, alt-J, The Jacksons and Warpaint, with JP totally up in the air.

Hoping Flips are 3rd down Other (can't see them being any lower), allowing me to see them and then get over to the Pyramid for the second half of The xx (the first half looks pretty boring, setlist-wise) and then bag a good position for Radiohead.

[Tartan_Glasto]

Glad to see a large crowd at Radiohead (not that I expected anything less), they're not really for me so baring any clashes I think I'll use that night to get myself to SE corner for once. This is subject to change once alcohol is involved.

[TomViolence]

Definitely Radiohead, probably Foos too.
