So interesting how ppl differ. I find that Friday overwhelming due to the number of acts I want to see.

I have 10 on Friday, but a good half of that is clashes. From a lot of these predictions it looks like I have a band or somesort in John Peel each day to open my day up and then my 3-4 in a row each night sorted, with a good 2pm - 4pm free.

Genuinely think idles will play the pyramid? They would be better headlining other Saturday night imo.

Curious, there's a band of most genres, across a lot of generations of age groups pretty much each night. Who would you look for in a headliner?

I'm just being fussy really - Foals on Friday night will obviously be great it just feels like a funny one to be excited about because they're so easy to see. Likewise if Fontaines turns out right.

Not really but I'm sticking with it as my curveball prediction of the year.

I do think they'll do it one day because they're local lads, friends of the festival, obviously have a similar ethos to the festival itself. It'd be a pretty iconic moment for them as a band so I can see Emily and Co letting them have that at some point.

Sigrid higher? I'd say that's about right for her and could maybe even be 6th down Pyramid. I think Celeste is confirmed for that slot, though to be fair I thought she'd be higher too.

Who the fuck is Loski? Did I plagiarise that?

Really? That's quite low for Celeste.

Sigrid was third down Other at the last festival and she's playing Wembley Arena this year, right? Such an early slot on the Pyramid seems like she's going the opposite way.

Sigrid is getting lowballed at quite a lot of festivals. I don’t think she’s someone who commands very high slots.

Fucking hell, you're not wrong. She's playing Standon Calling where Loyle Carner (remember him??) is a headliner and she is not.

Dab down Sigrid

I think Sigrid being billed below The Vaccines was what led to the infamous claim of them being boosted up the lineups because of covid. But yeah, as Matt says, her placings seem a bit up and down this year so I could easily see her taking an equivalent sort of slot to last time or early Pyramid.

We need an efestivals term for someone getting lowballed - similar to dabbed down.

I'm gonna cable tie myself to a goalpost until Sigrid gets better slots at festivals.

This is actually a bit like The Vaccines where their music got progressively better but they were being repeatedly punched in the face by the festival placings they received from 2015 onwards.

[Matt42]

Holly Humberstone getting (whatever we decide the term for being lowballed is) in 2022 is cool. Makes me think she could come back in 2023 for a bigger slot.

Been listening to her a lot recently and I get that vibe that she’s going to explode. I’m talking global. She’s doing a pretty big US/Canada tour at the mo and apparently got a mainstage slot at Coachella.

Invest in this high growth stock.

Yes mate. What I meant was she obviously has some backing and isn't going to peak with a pre-debut slot in the John Peel. Not quite a bold prediction.

It's more or less expected that she'll be boosted for a little while, get a number one album, pick up some big slots and then get left in the gutter with Jack Garratt when her label promotes someone else in 2024 instead of her follow-up. But y'know, don't be sad it's over - be happy that it happened and all that.
