It was Daniel Avery not Jon Hopkins - though either would be Great - JH and Haai - did do a track together "baby were acending"

Jon Hopkins! Been years since I've caught him.

If Pulp is a secret set, safe to assume it'll be Park, right?

Not impossible, but a bit of a rerun of last time.

I was thinking West Holts would be a nice treat.

In that case The Park is more likely.

Fair enough!

One for the people interested in the The Simpsons / El Pointo venn diagram:

[clasher]

Tried to put together what's likely and has been rumoured so far. Couldn't be bothered with the rest as it would be purely guesswork and unavoidably a wishlist that's way too strong. Went out of my way to avoid Elton/Prodigy/Fred clash so I don't cause too much stress, although I think it's very likely at least two of them will.

P: AM / LDR / Royal Blood
O: Prodigy / Wet Leg
WH: Stromae

P: GNR / Lizzo / Capaldi
O: Sam Smith / NxWorries
WH: Federico Otra Vez

P: Elton / Pulp / Blondie / Rod
O: QOTSA / Black Keys
WH: Rosalía

Most of the below is based on acts I've been trying to listen to, but know very little about, on the assumption that I think most of them are free to play (as and when I attempted to check at least).  So, massive blind-spots in what I've been listening to (based on my poor taste), so probably lots of stuff missing, but any that you think definitely aren't playing let me know so that I can kick some of them off my playlist.

I've probably put as much effort into making the below neat with bold & under-lining as I have in terms of clashes and who's available on what days.  Christ, massive respect to anyone who's tried to do these before.  Who should play what stage, at what time of day, availability on some days but not others, gender split etc etc.  Fuck it, the Saw Doctors definitely said something about being happy to take some of the GnR crowd, but they'd like to be as far away from them as possible.

Fri: Suede -> RAYE -> Anne-Marie -> FKA Twigs/easy life/Wet Leg -> Maisie Peters -> Self Esteem -> Pulp -> SZA

Sat: Peggy Gou -> Mimi Webb -> The Big Moon -> The Chicks -> Bon Iver -> Becky Hill -> Aphex Twin/Lil Nas X -> ROSALIÁ

Sun: Yves Tumor -> Joy Crookes -> PinkPantheress -> Yard Act/Jamie T -> Holly Humberstone -> CHVRCHES -> Lizzo/Fred Again../Bleachers -> Elton John

 

Damn, that would be one hell of a lineup! Appreciate the time that went into this.

Rod Stewart into Blondie into Pulp into Elton John has, in the space of about eight or so hours, got an extortionate amount of singalong bangers.

Yes. Blondie could do a number of different slots I suppose and "third down pyramid" wouldn't be my first thought, but I put them there solely for the banger combo.

Would love that. Just as long as they’re not headlining Other I’d be very happy.

Can you say where you heard that?

Fuck me I hope not.

I can't, and I must admit I'd be lying if said I was confident in the info...seems to be relying on Joshua's friendship with Elton from what I can tell.

[nikkic]

It’s not a disaster, but it isn’t the Pulp into Elton 1-2 we deserved. 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

And Pulp were the Silver Medal option after Lizzo d@bbed down.

Don't hold me to it! It can still and imo should happen 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Trying to get a good spot for Elton, but succumbing to the tidal waves of BO coming from the stage and winding up in the medical.
