Franz Ferdinand have rescheduled their upcoming Greatest Hits tour - Euro dates start again week after Glasto. Would be a great JP headliner, 90 mins of wall to wall bangers.

It's good to see Sigrid on summer festival line ups. I was worried she wouldn't be after she postponed her tour dates.

You'd have to imagine that if they were to perform a post-headliners DJ set at Pangea then they'd have to be billed either as special guests or under a pseudonym. Could be carnage up there otherwise.

Put it late enough that a good portion of the festival had gone to sleep and it would be fine surely

What does a chems dj set look like? Is it them playing their own stuff or playing a lot of baselines with some of there own bits chucked over the top?

a few of their tracks, lots of stuff that sounds very 'chemical' remixed and then some new songs / dj set exclusive songs.

Here's the most regular exclusive -

I think I'd see that. Wanted to see them live since seeing this vid of them at T in the Park 2014

Are they still doing that Majorca festival on the Saturday?

Another thing to note on Chems, they have deleted their worthy farm cheese tweet

Michael mentioned the artists and their love of worthy farm cheese yesterday in the interview .... must be a strong rumour now along with @JoeyT info .... ID pretty well put my house on it tbh

Probably stronger than their cheese

[Memory Man]

Curious that the announced chems show is on a sunday when it would sell much better on a saturday.

i think the dj set rumours are pretty strong and its too early for them to be back live esp without a new album so i think that as good as confirms the dj set on the saturday, otherwise surely castle howard would have been booked for the 25th. 
 

im not sure an outdoor gig in the middle of nowhere on a sunday when lots of potential ticket buyers are at glastonbury is a great idea commercially.

Putting Chems on the Other again so soon would be a shite lazy booking. 

Late night DJ set would be good or alternatively, how about as the Pyramid Opener? Would be a great way to start the day

I'll have some of whatever you're having.  A live show that makes huge use of lighting, effects, strobes and a late night party, at midday to an empty field? Hard nope.

Aye but even without the lighting & effects, they've still got bops-a-plenty. Besides maybe they could try for some daytime effects? Confetti cannons, balloons, that sort of crap... Although might not be very eco-friendly like

With Billie Eilish, Haim, rumours of Harry Styles  and Megan Thee Stallion etc... is there really much difference anymore?

Agreed that it'd be lazy so soon, but whenever they return, it's realistically it's the only slot they can play – they have to play in the dark, they're way too big for John Peel, and probably not big enough to handle a Pyramid headline slot again.

Theyre definitely not back live in 2022 at glastonbury so its a moot point

they will probably next be back in 23 or perhaps 24 when they’ve a new album or at least some new music

So you're saying that without the light show, they're not worth bothering with? They're a bit dull?

I'm saying that their music and show are well suited to a certain timeslot and situation. As well you know you little scamp.

I'd ask you how you'd feel about a quiet downbeat acoustic set as your Saturday night headliner, but we both know that's a waste of time as you'd be in your element.

[Ayrshire Chris]

First aid kit in Bristol on Sunday so a definite I reckon, great on pyramid in 2017

[nikkic]

Chems will have a new album out late this year or early next, then headline The Other stage in 23.

Don't fight it, it's just part of Glastonbury.

Ultimately it's neither big nor clever to be bashing a couple of grams of MDMA at 11.30 in the morning. For this reason early Chemical Brothers sets should be discouraged.
