Have to say, and I never thought I'd come out with this, I quite like his new album. Certainly more than I expected to. I quite liked the first one, the new one hasn't done much for me.

cheesey_toastie Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Kaleidoscope Festival have announced Basement Jaxx and The Divine Comedy - same dates as Glastonbury.

ghostdancer1 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 it's all been downhill (musically) for Disclosure since that first EP. need more bangerz and less dull lounge-house written for collabing with pop singers. still though, they'd be fine as a "dancey" Other headliner opposite Macca. not too many big dance acts that could do it this year apart from possibly Prodigy, or a random DJ.

I'd like Massive Attack to come back. Or with the new live show, Orbital could come back and their stock has increased a bit since they played West Holts, same with Justice.

ghostdancer1 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I guess Orbital could do it, I wouldn't really have them as being that big anymore in my head. I'd have them around the same as Underworld, who did WH a few years back. having said that, I think Underworld coulds have done the Other against a contrasting Pyramid headliner. Orbital wouldn't be doing big outdoor shows like Chems or Prodigy, but they'd have as much of a crowd as plenty of recent Other headliners I suppose. they're very far from headliner level these days though, if we're putting emphasis on Emily's comments.

I wouldn't exactly be crazy about it but I wouldn't be surprised if it's Fat Boy Slim as an Other headliner, lots of Glastonbury pedigree, still sells out shows, maybe Emily has given him the big dance slot.

After subbing JPT in 2016 and doing The Glade last year as an announced slot, I can't see it happening. If he wants to tick off every stage at Glastonbury then I can definitely see him opening the Pyramid. Would get a huge crowd, the sort of special guest slot we could see down the running order - massive name, friend of the festival etc and would no doubt love to do it.

I was going to suggest that as well. If they're desperate for a dance act for the Other, he's a really easy and dependable option.

I don't think he would open the Pyramid, if he's going to be doing a bigger stage (i.e. not Arcadia/glade/JP) it's gonna be at night to suit his usually large production style. That being said, I do agree with you, it's definitely a swing but I do really think (pure conjecture) Emily has booked a dance headliner for one night at the Other and I don't think it's gonna be Chems, Orbital, LCD or Justice. That being said, I would absolutely love for it to be one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Really doubt they'll put FBS that high up. If he was a rarer sighting then the heritage thing and back catalogue would outweigh the lack of any recent output and he might get away with it. As it stands he's got that combination of no new stuff (no albums since Palookaville, 3 singles since 2013) and being a regular at the fest. It's almost impossible not to see him. Friend of the fest, legend and all the rest of it, but I don't see them giving him a headline slot on the second stage for the 50th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for opening the Pyramid, sure it'd be a different sort of production but I could certainly seeing him want to jump at that sort of opportunity. His only realistic chance of playing the Pyramid and he'd no doubt be doing it in front of 50,000+ people and would make a Fatboy Slim set at Glastonbury special rather than another one of his hundreds of other sets elsewhere.
