2024 Other Stage

[Gnomicide]

Chems would be such a sh*t choice. As uninspiring as bringing Coldplay back yet again to do The Pyramid.

I'm thinking the Prodigy might also honour the cancelled Boomtown spot this year

if it was a genuine injury/excuse why  would they owe it? do you feel you owe your boss for a genuine day's sick? (you might feel you owe for a skiving day)

For some reason i can't see them booking both Chemical Brothers and the Prodigy to headline the Other, doesn't sit right - they feel too similar.

They are probably further apart in terms of genre than Madonna and Dua Lippa!

I'd happily go to both, especially versus the likely Pyramid headliners.

Could be a bumper crowd for The Other next year.

If pyramid has dua and coldplay “friends of the festival” as headliners i could see this theme continuing to the other stage. 

i like them so they could play every year for me, but i get the fatigue with them being booked so often.

having said that theyre a safe bet compared to nonsense like lana del rey pissing people about and always draw a massive crowd

Yeah i doubt they would have both but stranger things have happened

That was the plan in ‘19 before Prodigy pulled out.

I'm not saying they would "owe" anyone anything. It's not unheard of for an act to eventually fulfill a booking they had to cancel for reasons beyond their control. Obviously it depends on their schedule, of course.

U2 and the Foo Fighters did it for Glastonbury.

Even as a big CB fan, I agree with this.

Give Justice the nod instead (although I appreciate that you would be equally as disappointed with that booking 😂)

At least it would be something different.

IDLES releasing a new album in February so they're likely to be at Glastonbury. 

 

Are they big enough to headline the Other Stage? I'm biased as I think they're brilliant and would smash it. Curious to hear what others think.

Boomtown had wanted them for years and its the perfect festival - a far better fit than Glasto is really. The bookers will want them back and i can't see why the Prodigy would say no to that

think they'd be more like an other sub or maybe even 3rd

would do a great job as a larger woodsies headline

Think they’re more likely to headline Woodsies than Other.

I suggested it the other week but generally got shot down. Fairly, I would add. 

That said, I'd definitely like to see them get that spot.

I don't think they are similar at all. They are both electronic music, that's about as far as it goes.

I was thinking that and it wouldn't have been separate days aa The Chems headlined Saturday. I'm sure the general consensus was that CATQ got bumped to headline from sub due to it.

I see emily wording her piece this morning delicately, stating the 3rd mentioned last night are not the confirmed headliners and also that we aren't likely to find out about any of them until the new year.

Yeah IDLES far to popular to pick up a slot on anything other than Pyramid or Other for me. 

Might not be a headliner though could be one under top on Other.  

The idea of them playing Woodsies seems a bit bonkers to me. 

The organizers have already seen them pull a crowd possibly twice what Woodsies holds on the other stage so with the recent overcrowding trouble I definitely do not see them headlining Woodsies now as more popular than they were then.

They would make a perfect alternative to Coldplay on the Saturday night. Way too big to headline Woodsies, would be dangerously packed. Would love them to headline Pyramid really..

Seen The Prodigy with and without Keith, of course it's a real shame not to have his stage presence but they're still a great live proposition without. Maxim's just an excellent MC, and they do a good job paying tribute to Keith with a funky silhouette thing & recorded vocals when they play Firestarter. They'd make a great Other stage headliner.

Be worth the ticket price alone. Seen them a few times now and they always give it everything. Best live act in the world for me right now.
