Surely Prodigy headline, seems far too obvious with their dates!!

 

I've heard from someone who would know that they are.

Yeah I think Halsey could sub the pyramid before Arctics.

Can’t ignore her being at Prim and in Europe around the festival with the weekend free.

OS: Sam Smith, Fred Again, The Prodigy

Subs - Halsey, Lewis Capaldi, QOTSA 

Pulp as legend

She does only have the Primavera dates booked at the moment I think though doesn't she? Which would leave empty for like 3 weeks till Glasto

Yeah I did think she was a good shout for an Other headliner but unless anything changes it seems like she’s only around for Primavera. Shame as I think she’d be an interesting booking for it.

Seems unlikely do you not think given how much demand there is in the UK that there would only be a couple of shows here across the summer, one of which is already sold out in Glasto? 
 

I was listening to a podcast with him the other day (Tape notes, a great listen and highly recommend) and he said they’re looking at arenas for this year given how big he has got (he was very humble about it) but that to me would suggest him doing only a couple of shows is unlikely 

when i say shows in the summer i mean festivals

STRANGLE MEEEE YESSSSS

Chems have played Other every 4 years since 2011 right? 

2011 > 2015 > 2019 > 2023.

Groovy. Fred / Chems / Prodigy for my money then and if that's the case there's a decent chance I'll be there every night.

They won't be there this year - literally a 1 festival gap since they last did it

Looks like their album won't be out before glasto either, look to be 2024 to me. hardly help the gender split either do they 😂

They've gotta have SZA headlining this one night really.

They pulled out of 2022 last minute due to covid!

Yeah - they seemed really excited to have a 'secret' slot last year (which became the Arcadia crush), then couldn't make it.  I'm sure they'd do whatever it takes to have a slot at the festival, but Other headliners of Fred, Prod & Chems seems highly unlikely - they usually have more of a genre mix if not a gender mix.

They're not going to put three dance acts on.

As someone said above, I'd take SZA / Prodigy / Fred in that instance, covers more bases. Chems back in that "secret" slot. 

Fred of course could be WH but again with current hype I just don't see it this year.

Put him on WH Sunday, that should sort it.

I was about to say I'd be surprised if they had both Prodigy & Fred - not that they wouldn't both play but maybe not the same stage.  But had a look at previous headliners - best example is 2015 when they had Rudimental, Deadmau5 and Chems.  

As for Chems secret slot - they possibly need a rethink on how that worked (in their absence) last year, but otherwise I'm sure they'd happily take up that slot again, esp maybe if their new album isn't out by then

That's the point though, spread the crowd.

I wanna see Elton but god that Fred crowd will be insane. Bennie and the Jets will be slightly ruined by the camping chair brigade.
