Losing both Manics and London Grammar has scrambled the math, but educated guesses say 3 from that 6. Where Primal Scream in that case? They looked like Park Headliners to me. JPT?

gfa Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 1 hour ago, the wonderwhy said: I think they're plenty big enough for it. I can imagine them wanting to keep Doja Cat on the Pyramid and I don't have an answer for Sam Fender but given he's playing everywhere all summer I guess he's just not bothered. I've changed my mind on this. Doja definitely pyramid, i think sam fender will be sub/3rd other. Potentially still to be announced though? When was the last time all 3 other headliners weren't on the main poster - given they managed to replace qotsa with foals quickly you'd think they had the other 2 unless foals got shunted over? 1 hour ago, Ddiamondd said: Bicep would absolutely romp a headline slot on any stage. Make it Saturday night and add another 5-10,000 to the crowd as well. They’re just about the only headliner who could theoretically post up on Other, JP, WH or Park at this point. Think it will be WH but if they replace Fatboy as the dance headliner on Other, I wouldn’t be shocked. I just said in another thread, Bicep are on course to become the next generation Chemical Brothers - come back every 5 years or so to knock Other out the park. Given their slots at other festivals they certainly look big compared to the WH headliners being suggested. 1 hour ago, Ddiamondd said: Fwiw I’m also in this camp and only going off the information we were given to slot him there. It seems like a lowball, especially when Y&Y are subbing and Doja/Bicep are potential headliners. Is it certain Y&Y are subbing PSB? 1 hour ago, FloorFiller said: Info was he’s third down Other. Agree that it seems low for him these days, but I doubt he cares and he’ll pull an absolutely ginormous crowd. He was probably just offered the same slot as 2020 and was happy to take it. I think sticking 3rd other and getting that huge crowd would be great for him. Could see Glass Animals doing the same or maybe somewhere on the pyramid 1 hour ago, Ddiamondd said: Ghetts, TEMS, Nightmares on Wax and a Bicep DJ set, maybe. Maybe. The rest I don't think so at all — who you got in mind? Bicep are usually quite clear on whether its DJ or Live when they are announced. It strangely doesn't say here but considering its on the main poster and not Arcadia it will be Live you'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gfa Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 1 minute ago, Ddiamondd said: Bicep are already the new Orbital imo – don't think they'll ever become Chems-level icons with armfuls of nationally-known anthems and chart hits, but yeah, definitely the next up in terms of a mega live draw. We're on the same page there. To the second point: what I mean is that they'll be headlining a stage live, but I think they'll pop up with a DJ set too. True they definitely don't have the anthems and probably never will just because of their music style. Would like to see a DJ set. Its such a shame all the exciting dance headliners are at the same time as the bands, i'll probably see 3 bands/solo artists and then head to djs afterwards but I would really like to see four tet / bicep etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 When was the last time there wasn’t a dance headliner on the Other Stage? 2020: FBS 2019: Chems (+ The Prodigy initially) 2017: Major Lazer 2016: Disclosure 2015: Rudimental/Deadmau5/Chems 2014: Skrillex 2013: Chase and Status 2011: Chems 2010: Orbital 2009: The Prodigy 2008: Groove Armada 2007: Chems 2005: FBS 2004: Chems/Basement Jaxx/Orbital 2003 looks to be the last time it didn’t happen. I think Bicep headline Saturday night and Doja Cat does Pyramid. They fit the bollocks I just wrote above, they’re wide-appealing youth-skewing enough to get a decent crowd even against Macca, and they fully match what Glasto did when booking C&S opposite The Stones. Leaves me wondering if Doja Cat could actually sub Billie Eilish. Wolf Alice’s dates make Saturday look better for them than Friday so I could see them subbing Other that day instead like a lot of us had on our predictions.

This makes a lot of sense, Bicep Other it is I reckon. Definitely very wide audience compared to some other dance acts too - when I saw them at Brixton i was completely surprised by the age range there.

Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Billie Eilish / Doja Cat / Elbow Foals / Supergrass Paul McCartney / Noel Gallagher / Haim Bicep / Wolf Alice Kendrick / Lorde / Megan Thee Stallion / Diana Ross PSB / Years & Years Glass Animals either mid-Pymild or headlining JP.

Matt42 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I think Doja could sub Kendrick. Shouted me down for it before but now she’s confirmed it would line up with her placements at other events. She’s subbing at most events she plays.

Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Yeah you could swap Doja Cat and Lorde but Lorde’s dates make a Sunday slot look more ideal. She’s playing on Tuesday in London. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Corgan's Ego Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Bicep against Macca would be a nightmare for me. I personally don't think they are big enough for Other, but they are the type of act that are missing for the Other possible headliners this year. Sunday WH is my guess and hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 6 minutes ago, Ddiamondd said: I love this logic and think Bicep could make the step up. But... Pet Shop Boys surely classify as a dance(-pop) headliner. It's not block rocking beats but it's absolutely electronic music with all the ravey lights, bells & whistles and big stage show etc. Justice in 2017 and Disclosure in 2014 are cases of when a contemporary dance act who could have headlined the Other actually ended up with a snugger slot on WH, but still rammed it out and did well. Would be glad to see Bicep take Saturday on the Other, if only as a marker for how far they've come. Don't reckon it's a cert though. I was actually going to mention how for a while in 2017 we thought Justice were headlining the Other Stage and that Bicep are surely bigger than them. I think they could still do WH but the additions of Bonobo and Four Tet to the lineup make me think they could have vacated that slot and shimmied up the bill.

FuzzyDunlop Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Bicep need to be Friday. I want to see them. One of the few acts we as a group would all see. Diana Ross being the other. I want to watch Kendrick, Im on my own for that... which doesnt bother me at all, but vs Bicep when all my mates bar me will be there, I'll probably go with them. Fri Bicep Sat Macca Sun Kendrick Sounds good to me that. I would watch Primal Scream as a headliner, but Ive seen them about 8 or 9 times... so they are a fall back option rather than a must see.
