I don’t think it does. He’s getting bigger and bigger by the day. Sold out two nights at the O2 in minutes last week. He could quite easily sub.

Matt42 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) Nah Lewis won’t be subbing if he’s taking slots that low at R&L. He might play third down pyramid but I guess there’s a chance they could get him a bit lower if he isn’t being that picky about slots. Third down Friday is still my bet. For the time being.

You don’t know when he was booked for that slot. Eilish looked far too low last year. He certainly looks daft sat below Migos on the lineup. Just looked at the poster and he’s billed as a Special Guest, which to me is the fest acknowledging that he’s too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 could just be that he isn't there? did it last year right? unless there's info, ofc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm his tour dates are pretty indicative and he played pretty low in 2019. I think he’s probably playing every mainstream festival this year. He’s a hot ticket and a good booking for Radio 1 listening attendees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 Pretty banter being between All Time Low and Migos, can imagine him taking the slot just for that. I channeled all my Childish Gambino energy into last year and got nothing, I'm not letting anyone talk me into thinking that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capaldi is one of the biggest stars in the country, not to mention the States too. If we're saying Dua Lipa is a sub level without batting an eyelid, then yes, the big man could 100% sub in 2020. He’d probably get one of the biggest crowds of the weekend too. Edited February 28, 2020 by Hugh Jass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denial is a powerful thing. Don’t really have an issue with him getting a sub slot. At the current rate we’re going , I’ll be spending far too much time at the pyramid already.

I don't like his music but I'd maybe go for the patter alone. He's got the charm to pull it off! I watched him last year and the best thing about his set was the chatting in between songs. Could see him bringing out Liam Gallagher this year just to wind Noel up a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness he must have been booked within the last couple of weeks as they’ve had to switch Two Door’s days to accommodate him - and they also have the same special guest billing. Still think he’d probably sub though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 I’m sure it’s happened at some point, but I’m struggling to think of a one album act (especially who played the previous year on the same album tour) who gets bumped up to sub, with no second album in sight. I know Capaldi’s rise has been pretty stratospheric but him subbing doesn’t add up to me, and I think they’d have probably sorted subs out a while back (we already know both Noel and Lana we’re booked a lonngg time ago, possibly before or along with the headliners).

jparx Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Lana, Noel and Dua Lipa is still where I'd have my money, with Capaldi before Dua. HAIM > Ross > Capaldi > Dua > Taylor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted February 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 If he plays, I don't see it being the case where he'd demand sub or nothing. The placing at R+L acknowledges that he's quite big for a third-down slot, but him accepting it acknowledges that it doesn't really matter. With Glastonbury it's often the case that a third-down act is more popular in the mainstream than the act directly following them but Glastonbury doesn't just schedule acts in order of least-to-most popular. For what it's worth, I don't think he'll play at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great news. obviously not 100% but Saturday may be more likely if we're supposing that the rumour about Editors on Friday is true, and that Charlotte won't be scheduled against Taylor. I'm not going to be there but it'll be a hell of a party. Edited March 1, 2020 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Good on her. Likewise doubt I'll be there, but it's a strong call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 Damn that's disappointing, was really hoping to catch her this year. Great booking though. Saturday night makes the most sense and hopefully she comes out with Taylor on Sunday. Macca is unmissable for me but Charli will tear it down in JPT.

Hugh Jass Posted March 1, 2020 Report Share Posted March 1, 2020 (edited) Just another top tier addition to an already stacked lineup. So it’s looking Editors - Charli - ? for JP so far. If the PSB Sunday Other rumour is true then I’d imagine there would be a more traditional “band” on Sunday night... Supergrass? Libertines?
