Second this- the John peel tent was absolutely PACKED for Jamie T. His crowd was massive

Nooooooooooooo... I have already decided I'm not bothering with any (mainstream) secret sets this year. They're too much hassle. 😞

Bollocks to it, I'm buying Download tickets, lineup is too good to miss... Don't even need to camp, it's a 15-20 min drive / taxi away. 

BMTH in the JP tent would be fine crowd wise - better than a lot of other recent big secret sets i think

LCD Soundsystem or the National and I'd be happy.

Can't see either of them next year. Feel like they both need a new album out before coming back.

And it was a fucking awesome set too. Could only have done it with McCartney headlining too otherwise would have been more dangerous than a secret set. Bloke's on another level, perfect Pyramid sub level.

National album should be out soon right? Single has been released and they've been playing new tracks on tour.

Friday - Yungblud

Saturday - Peter Kay

Sunday - Radiohead

Was thinking the same thing, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to play JP Tent if he wasn’t on at the same time as Macca. He’s still top of his game even after all this time, would love to see him hopefully make another appearance next year

Eh the guy loves the place, could do a secret set but they usually precede slots as opposed to being the following year.

👀 Is this something you've heard? I'm a big fan and haven't heard anything outside of the hint they gave on the Weird Goodbyes announcement email

Having seen him this week, I’d feel it a very lacklustre Other Headliner decision. By no means a bad artist, but just not that size anymore. Off the back of an academy tour, as well.

They said in an interview this spring past that they were working on a record.

 

On Jamie T if I recall in 2015 he was on late afternoon on the Other and had a whopper crowd. I’d really love if that JP was a prelude to something this year given his album came out post Glasto (I think) last year. He’s cracker.

I mentioned him as a Pyramid sub, purely cos he's got a boatload of bangers that'd go down a stormer with any crowd. It's the hardest spot to nail at a festival and whilst he'd be a small sub, he's got the tunes and live performance to entertain a crowd waiting for the headliner.

Subbed Other, was a storming set and huge crowd despite being up against Weller on the Pyramid. Him and Chems as a 1-2 was a perfect way to end my first Glastonbury.

Won't be there this year though, not an announced set anyway. He's on record with his love of the festival so could easily see him doing a Paolo Nutini super secret set somewhere.

Yeah this was amazing.

That set properly got me into him.

This is the second mention in these forums recently if the KLF, is there something I don't know?

I would be guessing the first mention was probably me too lol

And no, nothing you don't know! I Just live in hope 😛

JP tent being packed isn’t much of a guide to anything, it’s much smaller than the other stage. Imagine how packed it would’ve been with any of this years Other Headliners in there?

Still holds a good 10k at least. It was only safe because of the huge crossover between Jamie T and Paul McCartney. I'd hazard a guess Jamie T maybe had the biggest crowd of anyone playing opposite Macca, given how many the old bloke pulled to the Pyramid. 

If Jamie T headlined Other when Foals did against Billie, he'd have pulled a very respectable crowd, if not quite as massive as Foals.

Other Stage holds at least 40k though, probably more now.

Yes, and like I say, Jamie T would have been more than a suitable headliner for it if playing opposite anyone than McCartney. The fact he rammed the JPT full whilst every other stage was quiet, despite having huge crossover in fans, speaks volumes. 

If you'd have put Jamie T as headliner on Other on either of the other nights where he's not a singer/songwriter playing opposite a bloody Beatle, he'd have pulled a good Other headline sized crowd.

Sunday 2015 Jamie T into Chems was a great end to that fest.  I was seriously broken but still managed to get up and dance to both (a bit).

My two penneth on Other headliners next year are that Lizzo and QOTSA will be in the mix, plus a dance/electronic act.  I know the Prodigy seem favourite but I wasn't feeling that.  Then the "only outdoor headline show" post came out.  Realise this can interpreted different ways, but if you were rumoured for G, but knew you weren't playing isn't that exactly the sort of thing you'd put out?

Chems could easily come back.  I know it was only 2 fests back, but it's still a 4 year gap.  Pendulum might not be big enough, but they'd fucking smash the shit out of it TBF.
