2020 Stage Predictions: What do we know? Do we know things?? Let’s find out!

[SwedgeAntilles]

I remember being genuinely gutted about how shit JEEP was. Was a huge fan of the first two albums but they've never really recovered from the third.

Dakota is 100% a guilty pleasure though

Thoughts?

I’ve already realised I’ve forgotten to put Caribou on the lineup 😂 imagine they are on that somewhere

I don’t really see why Haim couldn’t headline John Peel, given how big they’re going on Pyramid/Other headliners this year.

Stereophonics won’t play again anytime soon I reckon, they’re in that funny position where they could equally headline Other or pack out John Peel.

[Crazyfool01]

[Stokesy10]

Are Libertines being suggested? What's the thought process here?

Daphni AND Celeste?

That poster is giving me clash palpitations.

[Ayrshire Chris]

With the headliners confirmed as early as this , well almost,  this is giving dry January a whole different meaning. Check the rumours every day, still holding out hope the Kinks become more than just a rumour.

Not sure they could headline Other. Technically they're big but it would be an extremely regressive booking. Think they'd be where Manics were in 2014, third from top. 

Weird how some (Primal Scream, New Order, Pet Shop Boys) kind of stay static in appeal as the years go on, but others ('Phonics, Flaming Lips) slide down. I guess having a dance beat and a few pop crossovers the milkman can whistle helps.

Oh yeah, I mean it purely hypothetically. Wouldn’t be a great booking.

should say Yusuf with Cat Stevens. Snow Patrol  and David Gray are missing along with the aforementioned Gwen Stefani. And take Sam Smith out. Headline the pyramid or nothing for them.

Sam Smith headline the pyramid? Have I missed something!

personally think the likes of Rita Ora and Zara Larson will also be there on the poster but on the whole very very strong and very very believable which is even more exciting

+1 for Wolf Alice subbing and not headlining WH or Pa.
Otherwise I can't see a good draw for Thom Yorke but it will definitly be my worst clash if he plays during mcCartney

As we get closer to the date, these predictions are feeling more and more likely. I'd be pretty surprised if the final line-up didn't look a lot like this.

Works for me too: PSB, Macca and Isleys would make a great trio for me. But Friday is a clash fest.

I'd be surprised if Wolf Alice place that high, but if a third album is released before then it could happen.

Worries me a little how much time I'd end up spending in front of the Pyramid.

You'd probably benefit from some sort of chair or blanket to sit on.

[WestCountryGirl]

I feel like Nick Cave has dropped off everyone's predictions radar. Have the Bad Seeds been ruled out somewhere and I've missed it?

Think I'll be spending a lot of time there as well, and while it would be a shame to not see as much of the site, the mooted lineup is too good to worry about it IMO.

There's a real chance the Pyramid will be rammed next year, which worries the agoraphobic side of me, but equally it could create a really special and unique atmosphere.
