I have to warn you, it's a fucking good video.

Could you send to me too pretty please?

hands down the best headline set I've seen at glasto of the 7 festivals I've been to

[Gucci Piggy]

Can't see em anywhere but JP headliner or 2nd/3rd down Other.

[Memory Man]

John Peel headline in the new larger tent definitely not out of the question, given they'd be up against a load of other headliners across the site that will distribute the crowd. They are well known but I wouldnt say they are big per se. They are basically still UK academy tour sized apart from maybe in london.

That or 2nd from the top on the other, ideally supporting the dust brothers just like APE.

If they end up struggling for an other headliner i think they could do an LCD

 

[Gucci Piggy]

They're certainly not as big as LCD Soundsystem, though, are they? Especially as LCD were on a reunion. Hot Chip wouldn't headline stuff like APE or the second stage at TITP if it still existed.

Pyramid sub shouts are pure lunacy, too.

In all fairness LCD had about 200 people there for their TITP set.

I'd say they're no bigger than Sigur Ros who packed out the JPT, if they're gonna move from West Holts that's the obvious place for them I reckon.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hard agree

[dentalplan]

Maybe it comes down to their manager but honestly I'm kinda surprised they've ever been big enough to sub the Other or headline West Holts. Tho I'm all for it, of course.

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't see how Hot Chip are bigger than Sigur Rós tbh. Sigur Rós headline things like Latitude and Citadel which I couldn't see Hot Chip doing (maybe Citadel at a push).

[CaledonianGonzo]

They're one of these bands that no one actively hates so will always attract a crowd of people who can't find anything else to watch.

[Gucci Piggy]

Does anyone who's not a fan even know who they are

[Gucci Piggy]

Tbh I am not a fan and I know who they are.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm not a fan and even I know that one of them looks like the guy off of Buggles.

[Gucci Piggy]

If someone asks me whether I'm seeing Lady Gaga at Glastonbury and I say "No I'm going to Hot Chip" they'll say "Why would you miss Lady Gaga to eat chips".

[CaledonianGonzo]

They'd have a point.

[suzie sue]

Yes maybe as they are not likely to be primadonnas about their slot then a lower one is likely. I saw three of them playing in the rabbit hole to about 10 people in 2014, one of which was a member of hot chip too, was an ace gig

Photographic RH evidence...

No. But he was behind me when I took it if you’re interested.

Did you get a photo of him producing Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood?

Judging by my new favourite rough metric of "bigness", Hot Chip have 1,23,1200 monthly Spotify listeners, whereas Sigur Rós only have 936,123.

So basically the same kind of size.

Haven't Hot Chip already done John Peel Headline as well, in like 2007? 

I'd say it's probably time for them to head back to the Other Stage as a sub, they've done that a few times as well. Bound to draw a decent enough crowd away from whoever's on at the Pyramid at the same time.

[Odessa]

No way I'd be able to enjoy Hot Chip headlining the John Peel tent knowing they'd already done that slot 12 years previously tbf.

Very nicely done. ??

I’d have given extra ?? for font colour change à la @eFestivals line-up updates!
