Probably Sunday. Repeat of their placement in 2015

I reckon Saturday vs Mystery headliner. Stormzy vs Rock Band (Foals, Tame Impala, Catfish, Vampire Weekend, Wolf Alice etc), Chems vs mystery headliner, Streets vs The Cure. Not sure playing Sunday before makes it more likely to happen again.

"It can't be The Strokes! That's so weak! I think it will be the Chemical Brothers who can't headline any major festival in the entire world."

Aren't the Chemical Brothers headlining All Points East, where The Strokes are ALSO headlining? Therefore, by your logic...:huh:

I currently have at the top:

Friday: ??? // Silk City // Jess Glynne

Saturday: The Streets // James Blake // Courteeners

Sunday: The Chemical Brothers // Hot Chip // Years & Years

Got really no ideas as to who to put on Friday though. I'm guessing a rock band, but can't see it being Wolf Alice, Tame Impala or Noel (who are the main rumours atm to headline that stage?).

Jess Glynne may be a lil low but after her placement at IOW I reckon thats probably about right. Could swap Silk City out for a normal Mark Ronson set too. Sat & Sun could easily swap too depending on what is on the Pyramid.

Foals are my guess for friday

I don't usually give a monkey's about stuff like how often/quickly headliners return to stages etc.

But if the Chems do headline Other, after only not doing so for two festivals since the last time, isn't that a bit...rubbish?

(and I had a brilliant time at their 2015 set...)

Feel like this isn't that relevent. I could be wrong but I think if someone is gonna be booked, they'll be booked regardless of what's going on elsewhere / who they're up against etc. Could of course be wrong.

That’s not from the festival side, more from the agent. You’d be a rubbish agent if you agreed to have both your biggest acts on at the same time at a major festival.

Eh? Jess Glynne and Courteeners are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to big for those slots in my opinion. Both tour arena size venues & Glynne has massive mainstream exposure and chart records. Courteeners are selling out their own huge outdoor shows as well in the past.

Glynne is playing 3rd down at IOW (in the same slot as Lilly Allen who I have even lower) so I reckon she is about right. Courteeners maybe, but they are way smaller down south (though they are subbing at IOW, so maybe they are a bit off. Could easily chuck Blossoms/Ashcroft/Some other crap in that slot instead)

Plus Glynne is supporting the Spice girls in the summer so i'd say that's about right

Third down on the mainstage though behind arguably a 'legend' in Richard Ashcroft.

3rd down on Glasto second stage considering she tours arena's and has number 1 singles and album's regularly I don't think makes sense, imo obviously. If she was announced as a mainstage sub I would accept it due to the points I've made. It's not for me but I think looking objectively at her career and accomplishments a case could be argued for it if she wants to be on an upward trajectory.

A slot that will have her play to sold out stadiums up and down the country which in the pop world will have been highly sought after I would have thought.

I know he's lost the plot recently but bit harsh to group Ashcroft in with Courteeners and Blossoms IMO. He's written some genuinely great and iconic songs, many of which were deemed worthy of a Pyramid headline slot. Still a different calibre of act to those and not really similar music either.

You're right but wasting your breath in here I'm afraid. He's hated on here, along with The Strokes

Thought people generally liked The Strokes on here?

Someone needs to write a list of the acceptable and unacceptable bands to like as clearly I'm out of the loop.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
