I see on some other threads people are predicting these to sub park on the Friday, is there any reason to think they'll play the Friday? As I'd like to watch Liam Gallagher and have never been to Glasto so I am assuming it'd be impossible to get from the Pyramid to the Park after Liam to enable me to watch both acts....

Nah no specific reason. I've got them on Friday because they seem most suitable below my Friday headliner (Jarvis Cocker). In fact, I have a faint memory of their quote about playing the Park as the sun sets may have included "on Friday or Saturday", but I don't know for sure, and that seems a weird thing to say.

Park or JP would be good. It’d be a big shock if they’re not there.

What chance of a secret set on the Earache stage too?

[henry bear]

I thought they’d already hinted themselves about playing the Park (can’t remember the source though)

[Mardy]

JPT for them, surely

Not if you get there early like. It’s a standard secret set thing every year. That’s a fair bit more likely than an announced placing during the day on another day.

But, bearing in mind that they’re billed in the next rung below Frank Ferdinand and Jorja Smith at Boardmasters, I feel like some suggestions such as evening Other are a bit carried away.

Ah yeah, I forgot the Thursday was secret set day. I think they'd probably get just as big a crowd (if announced) anyway due to nowt else being on - see The Smyths

Just used a 25% discount code on merch in their store if anyone wants ‘HAPPY25’. 

Their t-shirts are pretty superb also some vinyl still available.

They only played a small stage at Boomtown, late on a Thursday. It was packed - I always thought JPT would be a natural fit.

I've got tickets for April tour too but will definitely be catching them again come June.

JPT would be the best fit amazing to have all that energy under a roof that will be immense. Sub or headline Friday please. 

Hope to see them more than once, other openers would be a bit leftfield but hey why not and defo can see them playing Shangri-la early hours somewhere. 

[deadpheasant]

Left field headliner one day & JP 3rd down I reckon

Leftfield a really good shout, yeah, i could see that happening

[HansGruber]

I've just recently discovered these and am hoping they are playing this year. Would be great in JP I reckon I think it would have the same sort of energy as Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes did in 17.

They deserve better than the bleakness of The Other stage. 

Agree with this. JP would be the best, in terms of atmosphere/buzz - I remember Royal Blood's set in there back in 2014. Other can be hit/miss. JP tent would be absolutely rammed though, so would plan to arrive 1 or 2 acts before and chose my spot (near the back...).

Other opener could wake a few people up

....and now I'm remembering getting woken up by Sleaford Mods on the Sunday morning 2 hours after finishing a night shift. Buggers.

[eFestivals]

Idle's 'dream' is to play The Park .

Up for ‘Best British Breakthrough’ at the BRIT Awards.

They're on the JPT*, by the way. Heavy Lungs also playing, no sure where tho.

That Boomtown set was the hottest mosh pit I've ever been in. And I've been in a few. It was a bloody riot!

Yeah it was crazily hot in the middle! I once went to see Jimmy Eat World in the middle of a heatwave in July - only in Liverpool - but the air condition was broke and stuck blowing warm air in. It got that hot one of the gutairs on stage literally started to warp! 

[HeyPorter]

Feel like that Brit is going straight to Jorja. Chuffed they’re getting the recognition though, might tune in for it.

Ooh Heavy Lungs playing as well is very good news, could see them early Park or possibly Williams Green....
