2023 Stage Predictions

[timeforheroes]

I don't think there's much between War on Drugs and say The National as a sub on the pyramid personally. It's not a ridiculous shout. I think they'll land somewhere prominent.

[downtherabbithole]

Huge War on Drugs fan here, Lost in the Dream is my favourite album of all time. But there's no way they're a Pyramid Sub. Third down maybe, second down on Other or a Park/John Peel Headliner. Anyway, not getting my hopes up again after they blue-balled everyone this year.

Absolute rubbish. Caribou did it this year who did a single show at Brixton last time they toured.

And is much more known to a wider, more mainstream audience.  And I said barely, not that he can't.  It's also his hometown crowd, even if it is London - don't see us suggesting the Courteeners can sub any stage on the farm.  All this chat of WH headlining, Pyramid sub is absolutely daft.

Think Fred Again would be a great WH headline, similar to Bicep/Jusitce/Disclosure as a Sunday night dance option.

He's still had nowhere near the level of exposure and breakthrough that any of them had by the time they headlined WH, especially Bicep and Disclosure.  If he's announced as the Field Day headliner I'll change my view, but until then I think this is a classic eFest hype train running way out of control.

Where would Wet Leg play, after their ridiculously over crowded set at the park ? Other early evening slot?

I think early evening on the other stage.  Maybe the same spot St Vincent had this past summer 

[neil93]

confidence man be back? See that they are playing a festival in London at the beginning of June, as well as Neighbourhood weekender.

Might be too long for them to hang around.

Other headline / pyramid sub is rubbish - but WH is very feasible. He could have sold out another 2 brixton dates with ease if not more.

'Barely' for west holts sub is a joke imo - lets see eh

Glass Animals were 4th - sounds to me that the person you quoted didn't realise St Vincent subbed based on them saying early evening. I think 4th down is about right

Tbh tbh is is a cracking lineup. Stromae won’t play that high, played very low last time.

He’s not that big here.

While he's a little too high on the lineup prediction I wouldn't use last time as a predictor. 

When he was last booked he was also playing kokos (he went on to play Hammersmith apollo afterwards). This time round he's sold out wembley arena. Deserves a decent slot. 

[CiaranMc]

Fleet Foxes in the park with nice weather would be lovely.

[Gnomicide]

[Skip997]

That is brilliant

[wro_lap]

May make amendments further down the line, upon inevitable corrections and announcements!

[gfa]

I don't think the kooks would be interested in doing the other opener slot - they've just got to the point where they are headlining all the mid sized festivals and i feel other headline is something you do on the way down a bit more.

Has one of the random early slots on the Pyramid written all over it if they play. No idea if they’ve appeared before but Don’t You Forget About Me on the Pyramid would be brilliant. 

Simple minds certainly played in ‘95.
