Gucci Piggy Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 Can't see em anywhere but JP headliner or 2nd/3rd down Other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memory Man Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

dentalplan Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzie sue Posted November 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

jackarmy Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odessa Posted November 7, 2018 Report Share Posted November 7, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
