jparx Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 The 1975 would be huge on the Other stage. Makes you wonder who on earth they'd be up against if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said they were hoping to headline Other either 2019 or 2020 but didn't get the call... got offered the secret set quite late as there was no other room for them in either year. He seemed pretty bummed about it. I'm also bummed out by this! I was really expecting an Other headliner set ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 (edited) Soz but why would Yannis know who all the Other Stage headliners are, especially if they've not been booked. Furthermore, why would he be openly blabbing about it. Edited November 8, 2019 by SomeoneListeningIn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jyoung Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Dua Lipa and 1975 would both be huge OS headliners. Dua would def get a big crowd as she appeals to the mass market. As for 1975, they could headline the Pyramid so that's pretty mad. That said even when they played third from top OS a few years ago they probably could've placed higher so there is form for it.

Matt42 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I just think Dua headlining the Other stage is not quite right. Might have egg on my face if it’s true and she does fit Emily’s hints - but it just seems a weird spot to put someone who will be the face of a lot of the BBC coverage.

I'm not commenting on the info, but Dua headlining the Other is something I could see. I'd say there's not that many female acts around who could do it but she's one who could.

Gilgamesh69 Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Christine and the Queens headlined Other stage didn't they? I'd say Dua Lipa is bigger than them By the way, did anyone catch C&TQ this year? Saw them twice and they were soooo good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 It’s not about size! It’s just a weird place to put her. I’d say she’s probably too big to headline the other stage. 1 minute ago, Gilgamesh69 said: Christine and the Queens headlined Other stage didn't they?

Dua is an artist under heavy Radio 1 rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I refuse to believe that Foals, with two new albums under their belts and in the middle of touring those albums, weren’t approached by Glastonbury in some capacity to play, especially after having played a secret set the previous year, and then as has been said, that Yannis would have this knowledge and also be going around telling anybody who’ll listen.

I’m also intrigued when Yannis had the time to go into all that detail! Seems a random thing to mention, oh by the way we wanted to headline the other, these are the headliners, they squeezed us in on the park etc.... Why on earth would they want to headline the other too?! Yes circumstance may put them there but they'd want Pyramid headline spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Dua on the other would be like them putting Katy Perry or Miley Cyrus on the Other. Would just be an odd placing. Also would be odd for the The 1975 to do it after smashing their headline set at R&L, although I suppose they might agree if they really wanted to be part of the 50th and that was the slot they were offered.

kevbizarre Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 If Aerosmith or GNR are Friday headliners than Dua Lipa would work well against that for the pop crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted November 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 1975 on other isn’t a bad shout. Dua on the other is just a weird shout. Maybe because I can’t comprehend her not being an act on the pyramid for the deck chair crowd. She’s almost born to play that slot this year.

Garrett_Salas Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 I find it p. hard to believe that given The Prodigy had to drop out of headlining Other late, and foals willing and wanting to headline the other, that it wouldn't have happened.

Would just be an odd placing. Disagree. Katy Perry is pure pop and would be weird on OS but Dua has more of a dancey / rnb / pop vibe. I'm thinking the Calvin Harris, Silk City collabs. Her music is quite dancey. More similar to Major Lazor headlining? Idk but I don't think it would be as out of place as people are imagining...

wro_lap Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 This info is definitely bollocks though. 1. Dua Lipa, whilst she is definitely big enough for the Other headline slot, would be much better suited to playing on the Pyramid, even if it was 3rd/4th down. It's feasible, but I doubt it would happen. 2. I don't see how Yannis would know about two of the headliners if his band wasn't booked. And if he did, why would he so openly give the information out? 3. Why would he talk about actively wanting to headline the Other Stage this/next year? There's been lots of talk of them headlining the Pyramid, which they've addressed in interviews. They reckon they're big enough and they know they'd smash it. The narrative runs very differently here. 4. I cannot see The 1975 playing Other in 2020 under any circumstances. 5. Pab... no, I won't say it. The most crucial thing is I don't know where he'd get that info from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
