They seem to play every third Sunday, don't they?

Saturday in 2011 if memory serves

[Stokesy10]

If they clash with The Cure or Stormzy this will be perfection for me but I bet it's with Macca

Didn't say. I'll see if they know.

Yup I do, I wouldn't see them over The Cure or Macca though....certainly not the latter.

No same, seen them several times and they have been absolutely unreal every time but.. I'm not sure there's an act in the world I'd see over Macca right now having never seen him. A Cure clash could make me think but the one time I've seen The Cure it was a little disappointing mainly due to them playing for a stupid amount of time. I think a Glastonbury headline length slot would be much better

Chems, The Streets + 1 other then maybe?

Someone said Wolf Alice were offered the Friday headliner spot too. 

[mufcok]

The Streets are still a potential Pyramid sub as well aren't they?

The  info was they were offered Pyramid sub or Other Headline

[Mattymooz]

Still reckon Chems for Fri, Streets for Sat (vs. Macca) and then someone else on sunday (Disclosure/Tame Impala/Paolo Nutini etc.)

Streets vs Macca makes sense...... as it’s the 2 I most want to see!!

If that is a go I'd go with Wolf Alice, The Chems and Paulo Nutini.

I really can't see now how they could do that slot, they've has their big comeback and the momentum has died down a bit.

[Purple aki squat]

I can’t get understand how the streets are in the running to headline such a large stage. From what I heard he was shite last time round on JP.

Ian  Brown instead please.

On the Friday.

Yeah it’s amazing what a 7 year hiatus will do for them, going from subbing the NME tent at R&L to possible Other headliner/Pyramid subs. Was an average set for their so-called farewell.

I’m going to Wolf Alice tonight which is supposed to be their last show before a break.  Will be interesting if they say anything indicating when they’re back.

If people are saying the streets can’t do it when they’ve sold knocking on for 100,000 tickets in the past year, there’s no way Brown can.

Much more likely to have Brown on JPT, although I would be fairly surprised to see him with a slot that high.

The Stone Roses have been filling stadiums. I know he isnt them, but it bumps his fanbase up a lot.

Cant see him headlining the other, can see him subbing though.... or doing a Liam Gallagher from 2017 & being announced later

Where is this Paulo Nutini for headliner coming from? That cannae happen surely, he's not that big in England is he?

he's passed me by entirely (can't say I know a single song), but i'm pretty sure that he's been one of the biggest UK album-sellers around the times he's released albums.

Same. I'm aware he sells well but thought more in Scotland than down here.

Are you thinking it's likely Neil or not from what you've heard?

someone with connections claimed to have heard something about him playing.

Join that with his agent being close to the Eavii and I'd say it sounds about nailed on.

PS: sells out big shows in England, not just Scotland.

Long as it's not Friday then guess it's not to bad as looking at the rumours around here then as I'm figuring I have Wu Tang I can catch Saturday West Holts and The Cure Pyramid Sunday. I just need a good Friday finisher somewhere.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Question would be whether Paolo has been off the radar too long and no one gives a fiddlers when he comes back c.f. Emilie Sande.

But this is a chonking banger

 

[Gnomicide]

Love a bit of Paolo, subbed The Other last time after another long spell away, I've never seen an Other Stage headliner so Friday night would be ideal.
