How about kasier cheifs 

Opening any Other stage - as far away as possible.

Well I’d like Kaiser Chiefs to open the Other (braces for being downvoted to oblivion)

Heard their new song this morning,  different but I like it a lot. 

So I'm in if it is them 

[Losing my hair]

Didn't for one minute think that I'd be outvoted on this.

If memory serves, Kaiser Chiefs opened the other stage in 2014 as a secret set whilst already on the Bill for JP later in the weekend.

I remember trudging all the way down early doors through the mud. It was so disappointing. New single is utter garbage IMO. But thats just one mans opinion, all hail musical subjectivity

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Surprised this is the first time The Vaccines have been booked for the Past It Indie Band slot, honestly.

[CaledonianGonzo]

You only open the Other Stage twice. Once on your way up and once when Lammo books you for the Landfill Slot.

Did you see that the vaccines tweeted about it saying “we thought this was meant to be a secret” or something like that

watched them at the weekend and they're far better than they were, previous album songs sounded strong, brand new stuff sounded good and they are actually a good live band nowadays! 

I remember how disappointed I was seeing them in 2011, singer was so bad back then but his voice is much better now

Can’t imagine anything more disappointing  than turning up to a secret set and finding out it’s the Vaccines

Turning up to a secret set and finding out it’s The Charlatans or James.

Vaccines/Kaiser Chiefs supergroup performing the greatest hits of Keane (acoustic)

[FloorFiller]

Gained a bit of a soft spot for The Vaccines as of late (new albums a banger fest - come at me) but not enough to ever go out of my way to see them/‘miss somebody else for them so this kind of suits me (although haven’t given the lineup a proper scan so maybe there’s a better option..?)

Anyone choosing to watch The Vaccines over a mass ABBA singalong on the Pyramid needs to have more sex.

I'm still disappointed the super group of Kaiser chiefs and Hard Fi hasn't materialised

Super Hans was on to a winner with that one

In my haste of scanning through the lineup at work i’d Actually missed that they were on the lineup. You’re right - that’s obviously the better option. And I have plenty of sex!

If you like that album they played loads of it on Sunday in a slot the same length so it's worth a go for sure if you can't find anything else. Luckily Post Breakup Sex, Noorgard, Wrecking Bar etc are short!!

I don’t see Bjorn Again on your ‘path through the festival’ post, Señor Shag.

That's not the point

How long is the walk from Other Stage to The Park? Ideally wanna see Babymetal and still catch a bit of Palace.

 

* I didn't see any act on the Other Stage in 2017, so I really have no idea!

15 minutes, although the main route is up a hill so your legs might require twice that amount of time by Sunday afternoon

Pip Blom or Black Midi will be better choices than either.

I agree but it's asking a bit much for more than 5% of the festival to have heard of either of those  

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm planning on seeing Black Midi and Bjorn Again.  I think you can do both.
