Definitely brings a new energy to it. Just watched the Tiny Desk set on YouTube and thought it was decent.

Nah I haven't seen any footage of them live. I wanna see them but some people have said they're often underwhelming live so I'm not sure. I'll have to watch some vids.

As Jyoung has said, it's a new energy (which is needed since they are all well into 40's).  Check out the tiny desk concert: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALUKDkOxVPo

The last few times I've seen them I've enjoyed it though it depends on how much of the crew is there.  in 2010 (i think) they were amazing but the other times I don't think everyone was there and the set suffered because of it.

As they are headlining, I'd imagine they will go all out but at the moment, they aren't factoring into my saturday plans

Seeing Chems at Mad Cool so that's ideal really. If there's a clash then no harm done, so a great headliner to have in reserve. If I don't end up seeing Chems then it'll be because something much more mega is on and I can catch them a fortnight later.

Pretty much this. Seeing them at APE but I’d probably only realistically miss them for a Beatle (that isn’t Ringo) so It’s win-win. I’d be persuadable to seeing a bit of Janelle or Wu Tang on West Holts first then a quick walk over (would be my 4th time seeing the Chems at Glastonbury so I can miss a bit).

Probably on to Arcadia after - exciting times.

[FuzzyDunlop]

It would be the 3rd time seeing the Chems at Glastonbury & about 10th in all. 

I don't think I'll watch them tbh..  unless nothing else appeals. I know I'd love it, but Ive seen it before.

On the plus side, it's a guaranteed good night.

I've got tickets for the Chems in November, but I'd go and see them provided there wasn't a horrendous clash. I've never seen them before. If McCartney is playing, and he clashes,  I'd go to him - however my friends would 100% go to Chems.

Our group has extended this year, yet I already know I'll probably see more bands alone than I did last time out.

not the most reliable source but spotted this on Tame Impalas Wikipedia page the other day.

I have a feeling that they will headlining the other

yeah, I've had an updated bit of info to say things are less likely now. 

To be fair that info suggests unlikely, but I'm thinking that the chumminess between Paolo's people and the fest might tilt things so it happens.

had further info from another source. Not happening, apparently.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Cheers for the update Neil. In terms of realistic headliner possibilities then we have;

The Chemical Brothers, The Streets, Wolf Alice, Tame Impala, NGHFB, The Prodigy

Anyone else?

This is the beauty of the Chems, they’re a great one to have in your back pocket if nothing else appeals that night.

Tremendous.

If the info on Noel doing Saturday is right, and Macca is also right, Noel won't be headlining the Other. Lots of variables there mind you.

Those three would be my preferences too. I'm a big fan of all three so would be happy heading along to see them but I've also seen them enough times already that it wouldnt be a disaster if something better was on elsewhere (ie Macca). 

[Hugh Jass]

I love Wolf Alice, bit I’ve seen them 5-6 times in the last couple of years and have no strong desire to do so again for a while. That said I’d probably still see them if there was nothing better on, another for the back pocket.

[FloorFiller]

Has there been info on Tame Impala doing it or is that just people’s best guess?

With Noel seemingly taking the Macca sub spot it does leave The Strokes out in the open with before The Cure being the only place left, and you could well argue that that would be more like a co-headliner than a traditional sub.

Or, or course, one of them isn’t happening, and The Strokes would seem the most unlikely candidate if we didn’t now have two bits of info placing them there.

There was the interview that Kevin Parker did where he said there has been talk of them headlining the Other stage but I think that's it. I think they'll headline it on the Friday.

One of those bits places them as a Pyramid headliner. And I know you can’t see them as one, but still it doesn’t add anything to them being an Other headliner.

Yeah but then he dismisses it by saying they’ve had a taste of the Pyramid now. Which is valid, cos they smashed it. The ‘talk’ seemed to suggest it was informal chatter with his manager or something. This is my recollection anyway.

The fact that he thinks about his. next time playing Glastonbury in his downtime is suggestive that they’ll be looking to return soon tho.

Wolf Alice are headlining Standon in July. They must be a contender again.

Friday other headliners seems quite realistic now.

 

I'm not fussed about them personally, but I'd much rather see them headline it than those twats from Llandudno.

Many being the word..... so certainly more than 1!

The note of caution I'd sound on that -

The last couple years, Global seem to be block booking a relatively small pool of headline acts and spreading them around their festivals.

So if Wolf Alice are headlining Standon Calling, then I think it's a pretty safe bet that they'll be at one or more of Tramlines, Boardmasters, Truck, Y Not, Victorious, etc which may account for the "not many".

[Gucci Piggy]

Pretty sure the Wolf Alice itk specifically said he'd heard they'd turned down Glasto, as well as the fact they're wanting time off, so even if they are doing some shows it still sounds like Glasto won't be one of them?

No I think he said they weren’t doing shows at all.

Who was it?

 

I know it'd be a weird thing to lie about but there are some weird people out there.

[The Placid Casual]

Friday: Wolf Alice

Saturday: Chemical Brothers

Sunday: The Streets

 

Yeah?

They just emailed me (well the whole mailing list, not me specifically) about headlining Standon Calling so they're def doing shows this summer. It does say they're not doing many though.

Can't see them turning down headlining a stage at Glastonbury!
