Here's the Haim photo btw. I stole it from the mad cool thread this afternoon and mentioned it in another thread.

Ken had info that HAIM rebooked that Ireland show prematurely and were not yet 100% sure they were coming back next year. This seems to confirm they will definitely be back.

Oh I hadn't seen that. I guess that their name not being on the poster actually released isn't really a positive when you think about it with that context in mind.

That said though, they'll play.

Oo can we get Parcels as well?! 😮

HAIM subbing? I'm probably being blinded by the fact they do nothing for me but are they really big enough?

Nah definitely not. Could maybe pull off 3rd down if they're desperate but they were booked for fourth down this year so I reckon thats where they will stay

There should always be room for a little Belle and Sebastian.

[Hugh Jass]

Alt-J they can keep though.

[Punksnotdead]

Bollock quiche eh? Might be a bit chewy, no?

Thumbs up for Soccer Mommy from me - fantastic at End of the Road a couple of years ago.

I would be all over, say, a third down Pyramid set.

Seconded.

But more importantly - the distillers!

Wouldnt mind dropkicks either.

[Suprefan]

They should go for Puscifer. Unless nobody wants anything but Tool at glasto.

[Gnomicide]

 Bearded Theory confirmed as not on this year and rescheduled for next June.  Some acts have been confirmed for next year, noticeable absence of Primal Scream and Flaming Lips..

Might get a 2020 t-shirt.

We don't know they were booked for fourth down this year?

But really last album they sold out Ally Pally twice over in one morning. Not onto arenas yet but they're around Vampire Weekend size albeit without the longevity) and, when they're trying to maintain a balanced lineup despite dropouts, they will be strongly looking at Haim for a sub slot.

I mean, they were playing Saturday Pyramid. I guess maybe Aerosmith was 4th down in a semi "legends slot" potential and Haim were 3rd down?

Vampire Weekend are way bigger imo (and I thought they were a relatively weak sub). Looking at spotify they have similar monthly listeners as Haim (which is poor for Haim considering they have just released a new album) though I know this aint the best metric. VW also have the big benefit of having huge indie staples like A-Punk, wheras Haim are most well known for a Calvin Harris collaboration.

Plus on that tour where they did the 2 nights at ally pally, they headlined the NME stage at R+L the same year alongside You me At Six, not sure that screams subbing potential personally...

The one thing they have going for them is that they are women, so may get an extra boost to sub to make the lineup look more balanced

Yeah that Friday of Hellfest is very much for me, the rest is very much not but it's not a festival targeted at me so.

Download will snap up The Distillers and The Offspring I would bet in a top two again. They are around and if the festival can booked that again against a returning KISS and Deftones then why wouldn't they stick to it. Dropkick Murphys could be back. A Sunday of Deaf Havana, Dropkicks, Rag N Bone Man, Barry Gibb, Chic with Nile, Shaggy, Biffy Clyro and Ed Sheeran was a superb day a few years back.

Yeah agreed. It's ridiculous to even think HAIM are Vampire Weekend size and that was a poor choice for a sub too and their crowd size would suggest many others were not bothered either. 3rd down would have generated more.

pink pop news coming 

[Gilgamesh69]

Pearl Jam have rescheduled their tour, but no UK date

I'd be game. They put on a fun show for sure, and tbh the TOOL Glastonbury will never happen anyway. Seeing Maynard at Glastonbury will be novel enough.

I imagine they're back at BST right? And BST probably looking to announce later in the year I'd imagine?

Unless BST has been scrapped and they're headlining Glastonbury 😉

I'd say almost certainly. They're playing Italy on Glastonbury Saturday, which doesn't get them out of the frame completely, but certainly makes a Friday or Sunday slot seem a lot less likely.

Haim aren’t best known for a Calvin Harris collaboration. And yeah they headlined R1 at Reading on their last album but they’ve released a successful one since, and going from second stage headliner to main stage sub is pretty normal from album to album.

If you were to consider all the Pyramid subs of the past ten years or so then aside from huge outliers like Liam G, Biffy, George Ezra they’re really not out of place. Surprised there’s really any pushback on this,

Ridiculous to suggest someone headlining Latitude and their own outdoor shows is the same size as Vampire Weekend ok sure guy.

[jparx]

Hmm yeah I also find pushback on HAIM a bit strange. I don't really think there's a definition for that slot - it's kinda just whoever the festival want to play there. And HAIM seem fairly obviously the type of act they'd want to promote in that slot. It may not happen, but I don't think pitchforks would be raised if it did and it wouldn't look out of place on a poster.

Yeah I thought they were basically a shoo-in for sub. Really hoping they do rebook Glastonbury for next year; they were high on my list to see.
