I don’t see why the Chems would headline Other again without a new album. I’m aware who their manager is, but their last album was out around the same time they headlined last time so without any fresh reason to be there, I’d say they’re a possible contender at best. 

Pretty sure they've all but officially announced that a new album will be out next year.

Don’t get why LG subbing Macca is a stick-on. Last time, Macca got to choose his own sub so that’d delete Little James’ dad straight away.

I'm working on the theory that they're both playing Sunday.

if it's going to be a Gallagher brother supporting, I think NG's HFB are a lot more likely.

 

...unless Paul is about to launch a surprise new musical project!

Liam more or less self confirmed in a tweet IIRC.

That's what I meant, didn't say which day or where, but sub seems the obvious place.

Two Gallaghers in one weekend feels excessive.

right, well I don't doubt Liam is playing. I very much don't see him subbing McCartney though.

I'm dubious about it, I think before The Cure is a better bet.

his ego would welcome subbing to Macca.

I'm not sure it would to sub other acts.

He played before Wiley last year.

that will have been 2 years ago.

He's headlined some big shows since then, as his solo career took off properly*.

He supported the Stones on a couple of their dates this year and Tweeted about it being "an honour".

He'd definitely consider Macca the same.

Subbed Skepta this year then. Maybe he’s more Boy Better Know than Beatles?

But nah I think the guy just enjoys playing again more than anything, and if they have different plans for his slot then he’ll cede to them. Genuinely doesn’t seem like a dude who’s fussy about where he plays.

Stick him below Noel and we'll see how fussy he is.

Well, one of the things making people think he’s TBC at Glastonbury is his invitation to ‘beige boy’ to play after him.

Can we not predict Liam Gallagher to sub Macca without it being some kind of "Macca picking his sub" or "Liam only wanting to play before his idol"?

Like, the three subs I've currently got predicted are Stormzy, Liam Gallagher and Lana Del Rey. If I stick em below the most suitable headliners I get Liam Gallagher before Macca. Though I am considering swapping LDR out if she's headlining Latitude, which could mean Liam Gallagher shifts over to The Cure's day depending on who I replace her with.

Interesting. Is that a prediction on your part or a rumour floating round?

Neil added Lana Del Rey, Snow Patrol and George Ezra as (R) for Latitude the other day. But another poster has now posted in the Latitude thread that The Strokes are headlining, so who knows what's correct.

Thanks for the heads up. Weird mix, that.

I'd say it's very very unlikely that more than one of the three I've listed is wrong, and that there's a strong chance that all three will be right.

I've no info either way about the strokes.

Macca wouldn’t pick Liam as his sub and Liam’s idol isn’t Macca so I guess so.

But yeah it’s fine to predict them, it’s just the notion that they’re so perfect for one another that they’re essentially a package nailed on to happen is contentious.

Yeah I know, that's my point though. People seem to be disputing the idea of Liam subbing Macca because they seem to be assuming people are predicting it for one of the above reasons, when I'm sure a lot of us aren't predicting it for that reason.

But I didn't realise your post on the last page was a response to someone calling it a stick on, so fairs on that one. I agree it's no more likely than many other top two pairings.

he has subbed for plenty of acts over the last year, among them 30 Seconds To Mars, Kraftwerk, Massive Attack and Justice.

to say that he might not sub any other acts than McCartney, who he has never particularly cared for anyway, is silly.

and the idea that it's Liam Gallagher and his ego making these decisions and not his manager/tour manager/agency basically telling him where and when he'll play his laughable.

 

there is zero chance he'd turn down a Pyramid sub under any of the realistic potential headliners.

Tame Impala as Other Headliner please as i missed them due to Chvrches clash in 2016.
