Other Stage 2020

[Matt42]

Think it’s a good time to start this thread.

‘Bigger than usual because it’s the 50th’ deserves its own thread.

Foals, Royal Blood, Biffy Clyro surely in la mix?

Emily said they were all 'Pyramid-size' bands. Don't think Royal Blood are quite there yet. Ditto Biffy.

[Matt42]

Does this perhaps give a bit of spice to the Metallica rumours?

[jparx]

Metallica totally would do it. Dunno if they will, but they would.

Foals are nailed on I think. Royal Blood are a stretch to call Pyramid headliners. Biffy could squeeze in.

[thrillhouse188]

Foals and The 1975 as two of them?

[Gilgamesh69]

Foals, Nick Cave, Lana Del Rey please

If the lineup drops and both Foals and the 1975 are headlining the other stage I might joker laugh myself to death.

It would be a fitting end to the endless debating on here ?

Aye, I do think Cave might be one.

Think Biffy aren’t an unreasonable shout. She’s likely being lenient when she says they’re all Pyramid size - with people recently chucking their name into the headliner hat I think she can say that. It’s more their overall festival billing (I.e. taking a sub slot in 2017) which makes them a non-headliner rather than the outright amount of people who like them.

none of us agree what a 'Pyramid-size' band is so that's no use ahah.

Call me crazy but I want King Gizzard on there.

[Kalopsia]

I feel like The Strokes could fit into this category? Depending on the money side of things of course...

[Rubber Soldier]

Foals, Biffy and The 1975 nailed on I think. What a horrific trio. 

[Mezhyp1]

Lana Del Rey the first that popped to my head, she'd pull a massive crowd up against some old duffer like McCartney

[Dronx]

Foals

Pet Shop Boys

Biffy Clyro

That would be class 

[kingcrawler]

I really don’t see Nick Cave playing festivals next year and I don’t think The 1975 would accept anything less than the Pyramid. I could see Foals being one of these acts with them being the act to be bumped up if the third headliner falls through. 

[Hugh Jass]

Aerosmith. Calling it now.

[LGH]

Foals

PSB

Mark Ronson 

I think the line about loads of guests means a Mark Ronson set could turn out to be massive!

Ha, exactly my first thought. But they do usually have a bit more diversity than that as Other headliners ?

 

 

[JSmurphy]

Please can we just get Queens of the Stone Age outta nowhere.

[squirrelarmy]

Prodigy, Foals, 1975. 
 

Keeps the Pyramid free for big headliners. 

[Crazyfool01]

pet shop boys cant be any bigger than usual because they've already headlined the other .. so in essence must be the same size ..... 

[matichin]

Nick Cave would be great, but really don't think Ghosteen is a festival set type of album, and would be weird if they played their normal setlist of Stagger Lee, Red Right Hand etc without touching their current album.

However surely they are at Headliner status now after arena tours.

Bananarama recently did an arena tour...
