I don't know anything for sure. I am nit in the know, nor do I have any contacts of my own. I do have friends who are good friends of the Courteeners.  

One of them is a mad Prodigy fan. When the news came about of Keith passing she told us that the Prodigy were booked to headline with the courteeners subbing. This was a good hour or so before Emily announced they had been booked to play.

The girl who told me has no reaso  to lie and I believe ger 100% 

100%?

In eastynh's defence is there a chance that the festival are still finalising Other headliner arrangements at the moment? Perhaps holding Courteeners back until they know whether they're bumping them up or keeping them as sub.

It allows us to make educated guesses.

I have a vague re-collection of The Courteeners being held back from the initial poster before. I think it was 2015, don't ask me how I remember but Im sure they were.

Oh damn nvm then. Spent five minutes double checking and couldn’t see them.

[briddj]

In fact the only act of the top 12 from the Other Stage in 2017 not on the first poster was Liam Gallagher, with Kodaline the only missing act from the fifth rung.

So if progidy placement is true, Chems have to be Sunday, making Tame Impala Friday right? 

[jackarmy]

What ever happened to that rumour that The Streets were headlining the Other or subbing the Pyramid? Guess the reunion hype wasn't as big as first thought.

[jyoung]

Desperate to know where The Streets will be playing now.

Subbing Chemical Brothers would be my guess.

I’ll go with JP header

[jyoung]

Was easier to work out last year wasn't it? If I remember correctly the headliners were and subs were grouped in threes on the poster?

The info was Prodigy Sat, Chems Sun.

Still doesn't make sense to me to have had Chems and The Prodigy headlining the Other.

Rudimental, Deadmau5 and the Chemical Brothers all headlined together in 2015

[dan05delaney]

so is the thinking that Courteeners and the Saturday headliner have been held back whilst they finalise is as it was supposed to be Prodigy?

if the Courteeners info is right then that makes sense for why they've not been announced, yeah.
