Fair play, because this would be shite 

Whereas I thought it was miles too strong.  Bands all over the show that wouldn’t take them placings

Agreed, and some way too high (Alt J's stock has only gone one direction).

Good but waaaaaay too strong!

[Suprefan]

Cat Stevens on the wrong day. And yeah, its not equal enough. The OS headliners only have one act thats big enough to headline pyramid, so is that theory being thrown out now?  And I think OS on friday has to be something that isnt so similar to the chili peppers either. Theres needs to be some contrast, so maybe a female OS headliner would be in order. And Supergrass would be rightly pissed to go against macca thats for sure.

On the one hand that West Holts Sunday is incredible, on the other hand Foals v RTJ would be a disaster for me.

I do think we'll see an RTJ after dark set though, would love them to headline West Holts.

[superhands91]

I think some are underestimating Charli xcx... definitely higher than a JP sub -.-

She is queen of her subgenre right now and currently UK's biggest contemporary female pop artist, after Dua Lipa. Just my two cents

[Alan_C]

Secret set?

[Guest]

I wonder if LG could open the Other stage. Probably way too big for it, but given he’s played the last two festivals the demand to see him would be somewhat lower. Can’t see him taking up a big slot again.

Fucking hope not. Some of us remember the last time he did it. No matter how hard we try not to.

In my memory The Hives opened the Other Stage that year and I will not be convinced otherwise.

[maelzoid]

It's just about plausible that Aerosmith would take a slot other than headliner, but 4th down on a day when the Chili peprpes are headlining is not it.

[Baggins7]

Is there a usual type of artist that opens the other stage? I know the vaccines opened 2019 but can’t find previous openers

[Sasperella]

Can we have more Aphex Twin please

Yes Sas! 

Friday night hopefully.

[chazwwe]

A distinct lack of Kacey Musgraves. 

Also where has this Randy Newman thing come from? Have seen him on multiple predictions now. 

Might do one soon. 

[Guest]

People need to start quoting the prediction that they're referencing.

[Mattymooz]

This feels way harder this year. So many potential options and every time I settle on something, someone rules themselves out. Still not convinced 1975 will play but I couldn't think of anyone to replace Bon Iver last minute so they will have to do.

Love the poster. The middle column looks crazy strong but also not too unrealistic.

Pretty good effort I think. I have a weird feeling Nick Cave will be on before Taylor so I'd maybe put Elbow before Macca and Noel against Kenny. 

[Matt42]

Not too happy that Lana is dropping from some predictions.

[SwedgeAntilles]

Jesus, Walice and Foals vs Young Fathers and RTJ is a brutal clash 

[Matt42]

Also elbow are not subbing. There’s soo many strong contenders for that to happen.
