Other Stage 2020

[vintagelaureate]

I think a mix of Foals, Royal Blood and Biffy is too 'samey'. I could see 2 of the 3 playing though. The other slot to a 'non guitar' act - The Prodigy (maybe?), Swedish House Mafia, Prophets Of Rage, Skepta...?

Bananarama recently did an arena tour...

Get them on the Other for headliner then! 

Also, Rick Astley was mentioned here this week as a possible, and he's doing an arena tour too...

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

 

 

I hope you're joking, it's more diverse than some of the other suggestions in this thread

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Friday - Aerosmith up against Kendrick Lamar 

Saturday - The Prodigy up against Paul McCartney

Sunday - Nick Cave up against Taylor Swift.

 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Friday - Liam Gallagher vs Kendrick

Saturday - 1975  vs Paul McCartney

Sunday - The Prodigy vs Taylor Swift

Where’s this ‘Pyramid sized acts’ thing come from? (being lazy)

Foals or Biffy to go up against Swift makes sense to me. Christ knows for the other two, but I’m guessing they’ll be somewhat discarding their usual electric-tinged headliners as I can’t think of (m)any who fit in to the big enough to headline the Pyramid bracket.

Ah fuck didn’t think about Liam. Genuine possibility there.

Liam going from Pyramid sub to Other headliner in one year? Nah. 

Noel Other headliner though?

Don’t see that happening with him subbing this year. New album aside, what’d be the point?

He has a load of new tunes since last year and he is one of the biggest names of the moment. If he is there to get as an other stage headliner, I think they'd book him.

Did Josh tour Desert Sessions last time?

What’s the point in him subbing last year after playing in 2017?

I think he’s fallen in love with the place and would probably be an incredibly cheap and easy booking.

Logistically makes sense, but Liam’s recent interview implies he hasn’t been booked yet, and Emily’s comments today imply they’ve probably booked at least 2/3 of the Other headliners. If they fancy popping Liam on straight after Noel though, that would be entertaining...

[kingbadger]

Interesting that they've gone big on Other Stage headliners rather than Pyramid subs. Maybe suggests they've actually nailed at least 2 massive Pyramid headliners and need to split the crowds.

forgot about Noel. could definitely see him opposite Kendrick or Taylor.

[wro_lap]

If Noel is booked in a slot where he’s allegedly “big enough to be a Pyramid headliner” one year after Liam subbed, that would piss Liam off to no end lol

[Divein]

Coldplay?

Yes Pleeeeease ......

[zero000]

Nine Inch Nails possibly? Know there was some chat about booking Primavera and pulling out due to some sound track work or something, but they would smash an other stage headline slot!
