I imagine Aerosmith took one look at the poster for approval and told them no for the 1st announcement.  

As it’s alphabetical they would have been at the top as well!

[FloorFiller]

Still going with Aerosmith being one of the big ‘surprises’ Emily has talked about which explains their absence from the poster - they just ruined that surprise by emailing the tour dates to their fans. Will still be a surprise to a lot of people regardless.

It would be a big surprise if they didn’t  turn up as a surprise act, though in the current climate nothing would surprise me 

[Guy Incognito]

Was hoping for: 

Nick Cave

Crack Cloud

Weyes Blood 

Earl Sweatshirt

Pusha T

Jessica Pratt 

Girl Band 

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard 

Squarepusher (live) 

Aldous Harding

King Krule 

Bill Callahan 

Freddie Gibbs and Madlib 

[gmb1992]

Orbital is the big omission for me, I was fully expecting to see them on there. 

Also was hoping for Aerosmith.

As I said in the other thread

 

“Who is strongly rumoured and not on the poster?

Aerosmith
Royal Blood
Alicia Keys 
Biffy Clyro
Bicep
Carl Cox
Floating Points
Fun Lovin Criminals
Inhaler
Orbital
Wolf Alice

 

Interesting omissions.

I’ve seen on Twitter a maybe not so ludicrous suggestion that they have lost Aerosmith potentially due to coronavirus concerns? Or will they just be playing a surprise set? Seems a bit silly for them to do a surprise set now!”

A lot of these omissions are the things I was quite excited about!

That’s very useful, if they’re consistent it means most but not all of the major acts we now know, it’s those lower down the bill that are to come. That’s in line with previous years too I reckon. So, don’t expect too many more big names.

I think it mirrors last year with the two Other Stage subs missing and the optimist in me also thinks we’re waiting on the Sunday Pyramid sub, although that may be off the mark!

Could biffy be subbing again

[JSmurphy]

Caught The Murder Capital in Brooklyn last night. Not on the poster, as expected really, but really hope that the rumour is true. They were fantastic. Williams Green would be amazing.

With @The Dawg seemingly confirming they're going to be there, is there anywhere else they could really go?

[Badlands]

We’ve got 30 more acts this year compared to last years poster. I’m not sure we’ll get much more on the Other/JP stages. West Holts seems light to me at the moment.

I’d love to think that but I’m keeping my expectations low. Just because we got excited last year that Vampire Weekend weren’t subbing.

In 2016 we were indeed missing a sub but usually the first poster comprises all the big slots on the pyramid.

Anyone said King Krule yet?

Really? I think there is quite a lot of West Holts type acts with the likes of Gilberto Gil, Snarky Puppy, Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes, Seun Kuti, KOKOKO!, Herbie Hancock etc as well the headliners we know.

We are missing a pyamid sub.

Bombay Bicycle Club were strongly suggested to be playing.

Pretty sure they confirmed themselves as not playing a couple of weeks back.

I thought about this when I posted it but they’d have been furthest away from the headliners on the initial poster. 

[4AssedMonkey]

Think Aerosmith are still trying to shift £175 tickets for their UK arena tour. That would explain them not wanting to be on the list.

Ahhhhh I missed that. Interesting. 

Tricky to place a lot of the acts.

I'm praying for Manics headlining JP on Friday, but most likely they'll be late afternoon Pymild or t'Other.

A lot of the rock acts that are missing that I liked from @Brave Sir Robin’s playlist I am expecting on William’s Green. Looking at last year’s Clashfinder the Williams Green acts were great, and I don’t think many, if any, were on the First poster.

Acts I’m thinking missing that will be on Williams Green are Murder Capital, Warmduscher, Black Country New Road, & Dry Cleaning.

Coldplay 

I think Aerosmith are the only big surprise. Maybe Calvin Harris, too. Not sure we were ever really that sure on him anyway though.

I think if Calvin Harris is playing Pangea they have left him off the main poster for now so they can use him as a big announcement for their lineup

Yeah I reckon all of those will be on WG, which you're right, didn't have any on the first poster last time around. The WG bill has been great the past couple of fests, hopefully keeps it up this year.
