Slaves will be somewhat different to what I'm used to. 

Yeah 11AM feels way too early for them.

Sleaford Mods on the Park just feels odd to me and I'm not entirely sure why.

London Grammar is a weird one for me. A slot lower on the same stage as their last appearance. Makes zero sense

Swap them with Annie Mac. 

No, wait, give them Annie Mac's slot and leave a big space where they were instead.

They could easily play third down on Other Stage with a great crowd. 
Wasted opportunity.  

I'd like to seem them blow the roof off a tent personally.

Either way I don't think it's weird if they play 4th down Pyramid instead of 5th down. Think I was worried it'd fall flat before when people suggested it but they've really broken out in the last couple of years and this is the sorta slot they want and deserve. This is better than JP headline or whatever I reckon.

Yeah but I ended up thinking any Pyramid slot for them would be really weird, and the only reason I had them there was in an attempt to keep the Friday hip-hop slot alive. Anyway, hope they take the opportunity and smash it. As said, it'll be good exposure for them. Will also be funny having the camping chair brigade have to suffer through it waiting for Katy Perry.

I think RTJ only seems odd because Stormzy would seemingly be much better suited. He'd be the better choice for main stage hip hop act IMO.

Busted on Avalon. What is even going on there.

This opening 5 is gonna absolutely decimate the Pyramid dwellers.

I really thought she would be on Park!

i'm so annoyed by marling on pyramid AGAIN. Such a waste of a slot for her.

Not weird per se, but the Acoustic line up reeks to high heaven.  An absolute shower of the damned.

[rzwodezwo]

The National.

Glorious stuff. 

I cant get over how good The Pyramid is in general this year. Top quality acts everywhere.

Yup. Looks like unusually, the cockmill bar won't be taking any of my money this year

I love the RTJ placing, its one of the few wildcards on the lineup. Maybe its based on a combination of their 2015 set and them headlining Field Day either way its great to see the festival taking a gamble.

Has Halsey even had a hit in this country? She's billed the same as Haim!

 

Debut album was top 10 and went gold and if you count Closer then she had one of the biggest hits of 2016.  She's definitely a big deal here.

Similar stats to Lorde.

Strongly agree - I literally was just looking at that. Where the devil are The Saw Doctors, and why are hothouse flowers headlining

Its the one stage i'm well disappointed with

Not even in a headline position either. That will be insanely rammed.

Also...with that timing, they won't be lost to any clashes. So we can all go  And that leaves me free to see Aphex Twin at Field Day (although I probably would have done that regardless to be fair)

jamie xx at the beat hotel is a bit odd no? surely that's a bit too small for him, that place will be packed

[majormajormajor]

Warpaint headling the Park. I think this is part of the whole 'there aren't enough women performers' bollocks. Although, the Park is very weak this year. Shame seeing as they're banging on about the 10th anniversary etc.

Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.
