Stage Predictions 2022: For real this time

[nikkic]

I wonder if The Other stage headliner is on the main poster, or if there's a left field surprise in store.

My mate is convinced it's the Prodigy. They were not on the poster cos they didnt announce their return & tour for a few days. Now that's sold, they'll be on.

I think he's talking shite, but...

Yeah, personally can't see that at all.

The tour feels like a "test the new live show and new music" kinda deal, before signing up to bigger things next year assuming it goes well.

You see it the same way I do. 1st time without Keith. Smaller venues on the tour. A 100% prodigy crowd.  Makes sense to ease yourself in. I'm going to their gig in Leeds, so I'd miss them for Macca if they did Saturday. 

Sunday though? I'd be there.

Is this a thing? Absolutely all over that if it is

Primal Scream are in that slot, but no idea about Fontaines, they could be anywhere.

[Field Commander Jefferson]

I thought Jesus and Mary Chain into Primal Scream would make the most sense?

[Suprefan]

They cannot announce Harry beforehand. If they do theres gonna be a bunch of people that are gonna sneak in. He just sold out all his u.s dates in the first presale.

[henry bear]

They cannot announce Harry beforehand because the guy who’s selling out stadiums everywhere he goes is clearly not going to be subbing Billie Eilish, or anyone else

Updated my clashfinder with the new West Holts acts.

Interesting - you think Kae Tempest is going to be playing a regular set as well as their spoken word at Shangri La?

When/why did Tom Misch get added to the clashfinder? Was on the 2020 poster but not on this years, can't see why they'd take him off if he was playing

Megan Thee Stallion?

Although that said, despite their music being completely different, would they really stick 3 of the prominent female artists on the first poster all up against each other in Saturday headliner slots? Hmm..

I did that entirely without thinking. It was instinct.

One of our group is really hoping for Alanis to be added to the final poster. Any chance it could happen?

I doubt it cause of her tour schedule. I think the best to expect is a guest spot like this for one song if it even happened. If she had 2 days off during the weekend I could see it, but it would be 4 in a row at that point even if it was just an hour.

Nah she only has the Sunday free and it very much looks like a rest day rather than room for another gig. No real reason she wouldn’t be on the first poster. Best we can hope for is an appearance with Olivia it seems.

[Suprefan]

Interesting wording. I Mean the Eavii could make em cancel a gig right lol

Perfect Doja Cat replacement.

(I think they’re gonna be at Latitude though).

[wro_lap]

Very strange - the APE email has the same wording. Latitude secret set or late-announced special guest (a la Damon Albarn last year, Frank Turner the year before etc) could still be a shout I guess

Latitude would work with the current tour dates + Thom has played twice before with his solo stuff.

Yes, three white men are the perfect replacement.

Calling them old was a bit mean...

[Miyn]

Is there space at Latitude? I've got a ticket so I'd love them to play, but it feels like they've announced the majority of the lineup by now, so I'd be ecstatic but suprised to see them announced. I don't think they'll play Latitude, but if they are, you can bet I'll be down the front.
