I don't think that's up for debate.  No reunion hype, multiple shows since and only one largely ignored new track.

New album presumably gonna be announced before the festival and I think they’ll at least have a new song out for it. Not that it’ll make much of a wave to a Coldplay audience at large, but it might make their sizable placement a little more understandable come festival time. 

Also New Body Rhumba absolutely slaps and I really hope they play it. Proper harkens back to the LCD of old after American Dream largely did away with the dancier elements of their sound.

I mean, I do say all this as a fan.

Oh I know. Maybe I’m trying to convince myself that they’re not gonna die on their arse up there. Gonna have to make sure I’m suitably f**ked by that time so that I don’t notice the sea of people on their phones around me.

Pulp into SZA will be a bizarre crowd change-over, I must say.

I also cannot vouch for SZA's live capabilities, but I can for Pulp and LCD. She'll have a tall order to follow if both are on point.

Anyone following Pulp has their job cut out.

LCD Soundsystem subbing feels similar to The XX before Radiohead in 2017. I was slightly doubtful that their lo-fi tunes were gonna land on that stage but they nailed it. I think LCD could have a similar effect.

Substitute "Loud Places" for "All My Friends" for all the Pyramid field feels.

I think Doja Cat would be the best of the bunch to lead into SZA. You pack a bit of current synergy there.

The xx really did nail that slot.

And All My Friends has the chance to be massive. It gets a lot of traction in sport montages on the telly - one of those songs more people will know more than they realise.

Early bookies favourite for the BBC end-of-festival montage tune...

Absolutely. There's a reason why The 1975 freely admitted they ripped it off. It's a banger.

[CaledonianGonzo]

People who know it love it, but it's simply not a big tune with the wider public.

where does it say this

If anything, Daft Punk Is Playing....., will get the biggest reception. 

Although not sure they play it every show, they certainly didn't when I saw them at Ally Pally. 

 

[Joey Peeps]

What was the crowd like for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds? Small but enthusiastic? I remember Beck having a decent turnout though from the crowd reaction it seemed to be mostly people waiting for Coldplay.

That's a problem. I reckon they will, but it easily could go AWOL too.

Not one that will generate the widest response, but possibly the biggest for those in the know - Someone Great. What an absolutely insane piece of craft that is.

Seem to recall someone had the concrete info that was the case.

if thats the case, echoing what everyone else is saying, insane booking, they would be one of my most anticipated of the festival, but the crowd would be incredibly off

Be dumb dumbs not to utilise one of their bigger hits in a slot they’re gonna struggle in. One of the few songs that could get nonplussed people on board.

Personally think they should just fully go the other way and play the full 45:33 (maybe the Madison Square Garden version with Sound of Silver placed in the middle).

(Obviously they should not do this)

[NorthernSoul52]

Would be an experience, at least.

Think Sting maybe one.

Any evidence? would be perfect timing as his recent tour is a hit after hit greatest hits bangers.

Heard from a very good source. Friday top 3 = PJ Harvey - LCD - headliner.

Blimey! Now that would be a run into the top slot, albeit not one I'd peg as Pyramid fodder.
