2024 Stage Predictions

[CH0161]

What’s the info on James?

Would love to see them play again, the 2016 one was great but the time, weather and brexit fiasco was hanging over it.

I know they are just finishing their tour the week before, but they regularly tour to be fair to them. I had them nailed on for last year when they got announced to play Bristol Sounds on the Friday.

Think he's still playing for Colombia, which I found mad.

Are Fontaines even active this year?

No hosepipe ban yet

Team, I’m pretty torn up about the Chemical Brothers and Stevie clash that has been prophesied. Please can we use the collective force of Efestivals to ensure that the Chems up against Dua Lipa instead? Thanks in advance.

No info but finish a tour in mid June and playing festivals the weekend after, not played in a while and suit a Pyramid spot. A lot of my prediction is kinda my best guess with who is around and who we’ve got info on combined with who I’d like to see play.

Happy to manifest this.

Chems aren't playing this year.

 

 

I have no info, it would just be a terrible booking if they are back so soon. Or ever.

They had a 2 festival gap between 2011 - 2015 and 2015-2019. They are now due and would be marvellous.

I'm sure they'd put on a good show for people who like that sort of thing. But even ignoring the DJ set they did last year, it would be a very lazy booking if they are headlining The Other again.

I'd welcome that laziness if it meant Chems headlining., preferably as an alternative to Dua Lipa

This! I would be here for it. Would also accept Justice, The Prodigy or Bicep up against Dua Lipa. Unsure how likely any are, but I’ll likely be at the Pyramid the other two nights and would love to get a big dance act in!

[NorthernSoul52]

Blur to get the Churnups-spot.

Surely same applies to Coldplay?

[FloopFiller]

Don’t think Chems will be there this year due to them not popping up anywhere else this far, but very much expect them to be next year instead if they’re still active to fulfill their ‘every four festivals’ quota. 

Or maybe they/the festival have finally thought ‘maybe this is getting a bit stale’ and are gonna hold off for a while.

Yes, though Coldplay haven't appeared as recently.

I'm calling No Doubt subbing Other, or 3rd down on Pyramid.

Yeah if they are doing coachella then glasto could be on the cards. Pyramid 3rd feels right.

Yes. Let's have Blur Friday and The Killers Saturday as secret guests. Imagine Blur, The Killers, Pulp, Sting, Stevie on the same lineup.

They're in their second year, if not this year it's not happening next. For me, a dj set on arcadia doesn't mean anything as I actively avoid just dj sets from live acts anyway. Out of a festival scene, they are cheaper and for a reason and inside a festival scene it's remixes for the majority of music not even theirs.

I think it'll be like 2026/27 if not next.

YESS!!! blur in a Churnups type slot is just the most perfect booking. What an absolute TREEEEAAAT! Please say someone at HQ have had this idea! 🙏🏼

Gwen Stefani is touring the UK Glasto week so I assume she won't be doing No Doubt shows in the same timeframe.

In fact, isn't she already a festival exclusive somewhere else so already ruled out?

That was last year I think. And she cancelled them all 😞

I’m hoping that the festival has all female headliners on the Sat night so I can watch Chaka Khan. For me personally Stevie , Chaka and Coldplay would be a fantastic weekend.

Sat WH isnt Chaka
