Asked by Radio X's Gordon Smart if they'll be making an appearance at Worthy Farm, frontman Simon Neil smiled: "That would be telling!"

He added: "We'll be doing a couple of shows this summer. We're not sure exactly what yet, Gordon. It's kinda early days, but we're just getting our summer lined up.

"We're going to be touring later in the year for certain and we're just getting a few bits and bobs for the summer, so we can't say too much".

Would take this, Saturday at John Peel sounds like a blast

[kalifire]

That Saturday at JP just stumped ya', didn't it.

Not sure about Public Service Broadcasting headlining WH, but I'd enjoy them over Paul McCartney, personally.

 

[Crazyfool01]

psbs everywhere on the west holts ... Public sound broadcasting is a new one to me though ?

[jparx]

In all seriousness PSB would be fantastic on WH but they're not at that level I don't think. I'd like to see them on Glade again. Well enjoyed that.

Edit: PSB as in Public, not Pet.

Am I missing something?  Genuinely have no idea how Biffy would be in the running to headline ANY stage?  They are the rock equivalent of IKEA furniture, and haven't had any notable releases in 3/4 years.  I know they played 2017, but can't fathom any more than a mid afternoon slot on maybe JP?

The new Biffy clyro song sounds like a linkin park B side

What does that even mean?

Lots of bands are huge without notable recent releases. Headline-sized bands are that way too. They certainly would be in one of the major second-place slots if they played.

Sounds like an Imagine Dragons A-Side and also desperation.

Flat Pack Rock.  Easy to assemble, functional,  fades into background easily, generally not very innovative, and might break after a few years, have a love of meatballs 🤷‍♂️

Stop comparing Biffy Clyro to generally good things!

I thought it started well but then the chorus is way too repetitive and not great. Other has to be the shout if they are there and I think it might be against Taylor. Biffy, PSB and Calvin Harris not necessarily in that order...all but one could just about be considered headline on a weaker year.

More likely headlining other stage in opposition to Taylor or Kendrick.

I know his name’s been mentioned before, but Randy Newman’s European dates in June suggests he could be in the frame.

Although that seems really unlikely a run of Haim < Diana Ross < Dua Lipa < Childish Gambino < Taylor Swift would be a pretty fucking great day for me

It’s almost as if he’s making it up as he goes along.
