Pet Shop Boys surely?

Yeah, sorry. Total brain fart.

So much for Pyramid level headliners, instead here's someone who plays 30 sets each year and last appearance on a main stage was subbing the John Peel Tent.

Completely bizarre it's fair to say.

[Matt42]

If Glastonbury does go ahead, headlining the Other stage will be Pet Shop Boys, Dua Lipa and Fatboy Slim, though their respective days have not been announced.

Told you Calvin wasn't doing it!

I'd rather he was if Fatboy Slim is the alternative!

Expected much better after the comments, that’s pretty poor in my opinion. 🤒

[jparx]

Dua Lipa will smash it but weak overall headliners.

Good for me though since I’ll be at the Pyramid.

Gutted if Dua does end up topping this, but aye, great year to not be too arsed over the OS headliners.

[FloorFiller]

Also lol at the months of speculation over the Pyramid sized headliners. What on Earth was Emily on about with that statement 😄

[SwedgeAntilles]

Lol @ "Pyramid level headliners"

EDIT - just beat me to it @FloorFiller

Worse than most years I'd say. 

Fat boy should be no way near headlining a stage. I can only think its a nod to his many years of service. They know he'll pull a crowd and he'll likely be free.

[Flying_Hellfish]

Did someone pull out then or is it a reward for years served?

[Dronx]

Wow even for an Eavis the pyramid sized other stage headliners claim is hilarious. 

[SwedgeAntilles]

Thinking about this a bit more, if he's the Sunday I can see this being a Fatboy Slim + Special Guests. Would explain the Calvin Harris rumours, Chems would likely be there, few other big DJs or vocalists. Can see this being one of the 'big surprises'

I just don't see Dua on Other.

Yeah it's not a strong headliner set for me. Other is usually not my cup anyway but Fatboy Slim is a great decision to put there and I'd probably go, I'm expecting Friday for him.

It's tough to keep up

[AlexOvd]

Pyramid size? Cmon

[chazwwe]

I'm kinda surprised at the level of talent, but both Eavis always make weird hyped up comments, personally it didn't affect me because my 3 headlienrs were already Pyramids. 

[Tom_12]

So Fatboy & Dua Lipa have both confirmed headlining the other but just the standard we are playing announcement from PSB. Anything in that?

FBS is such a weird booking for OS that I can only assume that something like this is true. Does he have form for guests at some of his bigger gigs? I saw his headline slot in 2010, but that was on Dance East, which actually made sense.

I was wondering if it was a situation you see at other festivals where a dance act plays after a decent sized band. IOW and Latitude have done it in recent years.

It wouldn’t exactly set the pulses racing but something like Snow Patrol with Fatboy straight afterwards would fit.

didn't he headline Other once before? I've got a memory of sparkly-effect-glasses being handed out as part of it.

Are we thinking Manics and Primal Scream for slots on the other? They’re both hard to place.
