Robyn for the Sunday night headliner. Oh yes.

All aboard that train.  Dancing On My Own kicking up a storm and drowning out the sound of Macca entering the 150th chorus of Hey Jude.

Can we switch it up for a NIN secret set please?  Trent in the JP!!!!

I mean, I'd certainly take NIN over Muse but if there is a secret set in there in the same vein as The Killers last year I think Muse are a decent shout for it. I'm not actually expecting it or sticking it in my predictions or owt, but yeah.

I believe Muse will play because they are a house band and it will be practice for the stadiums if they are after Glastonbury but what makes you think they will. Muse, The Cure, Kendrick, Interpol, Tame Impala would make it the best for me. Muse are probably never not being my favourite band with Radiohead. Cannot wait for it. Also, are you going Gucci, to Glastonbury?

I am indeed.

Have you seen her before, Quark? She's absolutely fucking sensational live, like a hugely powerful sky god focusing all her energies to take on human form for 2 hours.

Oh Sees

I have not.  She would definitely be a strong draw for me, although I would probably be the only one out of my group if she's up against one of the big hitters.

See you there

[TomViolence]

100% YYY if they're not too big.

Would like to see Public Service Broadcasting, Hinds, Let's Eat Grandma, Parquet Courts, Mogwai and Yo La Tengo in there too. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Seen Macca before but it'd still be a tough choice if those two clashed. Ideal scenario is sticking Ms Monae over on West Holts that night so it's acceptable to just miss both.

[Fishman]

JPT ..... it's just a little too far away.    

[t0paz]

Having seen Ides a few times in small venues, I'm not sure how they would work on a open air stage. JP would probably be the best place for them.

Car Seat Headrest? They got an 11am 30min slot on the Park last time so I'm hoping for bigger this time around.

Parquet Courts too would be good.

[Hugh Jass]

Only problem with having YYY's headline is the potential clash against a Pyramid headliner.

[Hotchilidog]

How about Suede? Enjoying a mini-renaissance, in blistering live form and probably not Other headline material. I think the JP would suit them down to the ground.

and IDLES, surely a shoo-in

I don't think they'd come back to do the same slot, heard they were excellent on Sunday in Dublin though, despite the poor venue.

Aye, and hopefully not just before the Muse secret set so the crowd is just full of people waiting for that and I can't get anywhere near to the front and there's a bunch of people sitting on the ground looking bored right in front of me 

Although, also...maybe on the Other?

Suede headlined the JP in 2015, probably too soon for them to do it again.

Yeah, they only headlined a few years ago. Pulled a massive crowd though!

I'd plump for YYYs on an outdoor stage midday anyway, saw them do that at Latitude a few years ago and they brought the goddamn house down.

Brockhampton I'd say, maybe Idles as well although both could appear on Other I guess

I literally only came to this thread to post exactly what you already have. Simpson, you diabolical...

[Yokel Again]

YYY's were great on Other a few years back, but came on 20 mins or so earlier than schedules much to many arrivals annoyance. Luckily we were already there! (Think we had just watched Bat for Lashes).

Been saying for ages that I'd love to see the YYY's headline one night. 

As I've said elsewhere on here I reckon they're too big - their APE sub spot and crowd would certainly suggest that.

Plus, and perhaps more significantly,  Karen O has a solo album out early next year and is doing some shows in support of that. Now I could def see her getting a slot high up in the JP.

Spot on.

Robyn topping or subbing JP or Park would be perfect.

I think they were actually on before Bat for Lashes.  I seem to remember having a run of Enter Shikari - Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Bat for Lashes - Bon Iver on the Other that day.   Great day topped off with the greatest headline set of all time on the Pyramid.

That sounds right, remember Bon Iver being on the same time yes, and spending the day over there. Was that Blur day then? My word that was fantastic then!! 

[Titters]

Oh Sees are a good shout. 

Hookworms if they're still touring the album (it may be a bit late).

She Drew The Gun. 

The Hunna look set tobl go straight into festivals on the back of their tour. 

Jungle as one of the headliners??

It sure was Blur day.  Absolute magic.

Come to think of it I don't think Hookworms have ever done G, I get the sense they'd rather eschew the bigger fests in favour of smaller more curated ones.
