2019 Stage Predictions

[Gucci Piggy]

Headlined JP last time they played, didn't they? Obviously doesn't rule them out of that slot totally but unless they need darkness for their set or something I think Other Stage is probably more likely.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They need to play indoors cos otherwise the collective glow of audience embarrassment when they play When You Wasn't Famous could be dangerous.

I do really want Vampire Weekend to get the sub slot tho. Should happen, right?

Will be interesting to see how APE affects Glasto bookings as I could see Vampire Weekend showing up there.

[sisco]

Surely The Streets are more likely to headline West Holts?

Yeah - headlined JP on Sunday night in (*checks internet*) 2011. I was there and enjoyed it at the time, to my surprise (maybe 'cos of Robyn beforehand!), but looking it up I found this less than favourable review ....

".... which sadly can’t be said of The Streets Glastonbury swansong at the John Peel tent, which has the rowdy quality of Wetherspoons on a Friday without even the thrill of the flying glass. Sure, Mike Skinners shows always had a shambolic, cut-and-paste feel – charmingly so – but the shoddy sound and largely apathetic crowd, coupled with Skinner himself, topless and leery as he fantasises about Beyonce, just makes this seem a bit pathetic, a far cry from the bow-out that the band deserved."

Fortunately, and quite tellingly, only one song from that album made it onto the Brixton setlist last Friday, and it was the heartfelt one about his dad popping his clogs

Just spotted that Hozier's back. Very high up the Austin City Limits line up.

Much higher up than Janelle Monae too. Are you still expecting her to sub?

No no. I was caught up in the awe of her first two singles thinking she was gonna drop this year's TPAB. More like this year's DAMN really.

[nikkic]

Surely Janelle will be headlining West Holts. 

If that’s not a match made in heaven I don’t know what is.

She subbed it back when she was a relative nobody. She needs to kick it on the Pyramid at some point during the day.

I would put her headlining it but I'd have more chance to see her on Pyramid. I don't think she's got any bigger though really.

This looks pretty good btw. Other Stage is a bit more disappointing than normal but that probably happens with age.

Sufjan Stevens would make up for an underwhelming Other Stage by playing the best set of the weekend there.

Genuinely curious as to what's happened in the last few days to shift Kings of Leon from the Sunday to the Friday.

It would be ruined immeasurably by the ignominy of having to open for the Conwy County cum sarnie crooners.

Biffy Clyro only agreed to step in for Florence if they could avoid playing Friday night, cos they're desperate to watch Top Gear Live that night. Kings of Leon were happy to swap as it means they're free for the Prime Minister's set on Sunday night.

Since they added peaches to the merch table.

Sam Smith headlining Glastonbury? Really? He’s dropped off the face of the earth as far as I can tell. Is he due to release another dire album about how sad he is? It’d be like James Blunt headlining imo. Pure drivel.
