Was kind of hoping Disclosure would be one of our Other headliners just so it’s one more act I don’t care about missing.

Assuming they'll have one big name dance act on there at some point, the pool of potential names is getting smaller. I know there's no news of The Prodigy returning as a live act yet but they'd easily fit the bill up against any of the 3 Pyramid headliners.

Just in case any one was hoping there was a chance of Motley Crüe, there isn’t. ☹️

Sting. Not technically ruled out, but very unlikely given he’s playing near Lyon on the Thursday and then Germany on the Saturday and Sunday.

I think taking the Other headline slot after subbing Pyramid was sort of accepting that. Think Foals are in the same boat. How many acts have headlined the Other before and then gone on to headline the Pyramid in the last couple of decades? Can't imagine there's many, if any at all.

Only The Prodigy and Basement Jaxx have ever done that, and Basement Jaxx was obviously a unique circumstance.

Could turn up for a DJ set somewhere.

[Amy Lawn]

As if you'd call your band Disclosure, what a fucking w*nk name

[The Nal]

The Rutles unfortunately. RIP Neil Innes. Seeing them before Macca in 04 was weird and wonderful.

[kingcrawler]

 

[Suprefan]

And the support acts which are Chvrches and Omar Apollo

[Reckoner]

That’s disappointing on both counts

I think I went to see the Backbeat Beatles in a rather small tent

Looks like Grimes is out. She's pregnant....

Wont link to her Instagram post (as you can check it out yourself given she's in the nip) but in the comments she seems to confirm it's real 

Gutted for that. Was hoping the new album in Feb might lead to an appearance.

I think the next time they're back they'll either headline Other or sub headline Pyramid, probably off next album.

Shame! Was looking forward to her, but I could of seen her high up on a stage (JP?) and would of probably missed, happy for her though.

Unless their next album becomes a surprise hit then no chance are they getting slots like that. Third album fucked it for them and I don’t see them recovering.  JP headliner next time they play.

Gutted, me too, thought they would be nailed on this year.  They were great the other year, 2016 I think it was so definitely due a return.

[Meerkat]

Thought CHVRCHES were brilliant in 2014 (JP tent I think?) and liked their first two albums. Completley passed me by until now that they even had a 3rd album.

I'd suggest keeping it that way, you're not missing much (I say this as a fan) 

[Quark]

It does have some good tunes on it, but it's nowhere near as good as Every Open Eye. Saw them start of last year at Ally Pally and they still put on a damn good live show though

Even that is ambitious imo. Could be Park.

I thought it was a joke when someone said Grimes was with Elon Musk. What a bizarre couple

i thought they’d split up, but, yes, presumably the baby is due around June so that rules her out.
