The Fred Again set will be the busiest Other Stage set of the festival.

He could have subbed Pyramid this year, easily. Not headlined, but subbed.

dream scenario at the moment is GnR pull out so Lizzo headlines with Fred Again subbing.

The c**t's dream

Wasn’t Rag and Bone Man who had a mega crowd a few years back as well?

Yeah overflowing at the back into the tents a poorly timed tractor trying to make its way through didn’t help …

Think what's missing here is that Fred Again is exactly the type of artist who is likely to enjoy a symbiotic relationship with Glastonbury - him talking up the magnitude of it and probably amplifying different parts of the festival this year with secret sets on his bl**dy Instagram (which is the type of thing people on here tend to say 'they gets the festival, etc etc' about when others do it), and it in turn boosting his profile. As chat in other threads today have said, this is what will continue to propel the festival in some sense. Which isn't to say he will headline, but it could be part of the narrative arc at some point if he continues to produce the goods. 

The comparisons to Calvin Harris are also a bit off cause he really is quite good. Other Stage gonna be a party!

Didn't play last year, the first year that he was a name DJ that could have.

To be fair we do need a replacement for all the older dance acts who do other every so often

wasn't that big then + covid rollover. think glasto just missed the boat honestly. he was free all weekend to afaik

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yes - so it's a bit early to talk about special relationships or him being a house act.

EVERYONE has seen Royal Blood. It would make so much more sense to switch the two.

Fred subbing AM. Royal Blood headlining Other with Wizkid subbing. Issue there is AM v RB though......

Royal Blood should just be binned off. 

Alt J too.

I see your point but the Pyramid sub crowd is often such a mixed bag. I feel like everyone at the Other will be there for Fred

Fair. Feel like we're stepping back in time.

If you just search 'Coachella' on Youtube, the livestreams should be the top result for you, head onto the 'Coachella Stage' at around 6.25am (UK Time) and it should be up on there. Linked it below too, hope this helps!

Ditto the comments about Royal Blood. I was quite pumped for them when they first came out, but seeing them live was a snooze-fest back in 2017.

[Franky]

Hmmm the stream seemed to cut off after Blink182 and not show the 3 boys doing their thing.
