Elton John Sunday Headliner Clashes

[FestiHead]

Hearing as a pull away from Elton John's Sunday headline set - due to the huge popularity and capacity concerns in the Pyramid field, Harry Styles will be headlining Other Stage and Fred Again x Four Tet x Skrillex will be on West Holts

I believe the Fred again bit, not the harrystyles bit

[mike46]

I would also say it would be Fred on his own rather than with Skrillex and Four Tet. Can see the three doing a set together somewhere but Fred is an outright West Holts headliner with his live show

Fred Again x Four Tet x Skrillex will be on West Holts would be fantastic

Harry Styles - meh!

[FestiHead]

Yeah I'm a bit on the fence on the Harry Styles bit myself considering he'd defo want his show to be a spectacle. Maybe they're factoring in the demographic divide there

[gigpusher]

No way Harry Styles is anything less than Pyramid headliner. 

[Hugh Jass II]

Ha! As if anyone is taking this seriously!

Not super convinced by either of those rumours sorry.

Also I say this as somebody who is definitely going to see Elton, but is it really going to be that popular?... Quite a few of our group who aren't bothered at all.

The only thing that's definitely true is that Elton is playing on the sunday.

There may be some truth in that FA would be against Elton to help spread the crowd but can't see it being FA x Skrillex x 4tet.  They'll probably appear elsewhere if they are all about.

Harry Styles on the other stage is just ridiculous.

A stadium pop artist on Pyramid vs a stadium pop artist on Other. Makes sense!

In other news, The Strokes will be playing the Other stage against Arctic Monkeys on Friday

Is Madonna doing Williams Green on the Thursday too?

[MEGABOWL]

Harry Styles is a Pyramid headliner if he plays

100% I reckon.  The information was correct at the time it was given to him, as Neil'd say 😉 

[listenstolotsofcrap]

Fred will headline West Holts on his own I'd imagine, Four Tet resuming his Stonebridge slot as well as an appearance as "KH" elsewhere. And I'm sure if Fred x Skrillex x Four Tet happens it'll get a nice big crowd on Arcadia one night?

[WMWMOfficial]

I honestly have high hopes that Sigur Ros will headline The Other Stage on Sunday 🙂 Would definitely then be my go to choice for a closer!

I think when they played a few years ago it was afternoon on JP, not sure what the time was but definitely not the headliner.  Can't imagine they've grown enough since then to suddenly headline the Other, but on the other hand if they're not in a tent then headlining 'somewhere' would be good - definitely a band for a dark setting.

<edit> haha - they did actually headline, JP, in 2016...  I think I was there, but less sure now!

Foals and Boy Better Know as big as Harry Styles, you heard it here first. 

[theglastokid]

If it's Prodigy v Elton then I'm over at the Other stage

[brettredmayne]

Harry styles is one of the worlds biggest ticket sellers , he will be a headliner on the pyramid when he plays 

[BenG92]

Don't feed the troll.

Yeah to be fair I was humouring the post more than I should have done tbh. Zero chance of either suggestion.

[EcoFesto]

That FA suggestion is pretty close to bang on, for what it's worth. Toned down slightly but it will be him and a couple of other artists going B2B Sunday night against Elton.
