Rumours starting of Sam Smith headlining the Other next year? Considering that the consensus seems to be Sam/Hazza/Madonna as headliners, would they be countering Fender maybe?

 

Ooof that would be a whole chunk pop music!  -  If its those 4 then im speculating  the other 2 Other Stage Headliners will definitely be a Dance and a Rap

Well Pheobe Bridgers is one apparently unless it was a duff piece of information.

Yeah there are quite a few bands that I wanted to put in but didn't know where to put them or who to replace (Foals, IDLES, Nothing But Thieves, The Royston Club, Gang of Youths, The War on Drugs, Modest Mouse etc.)

Haha no worries - I suspect in one months time all the festivals are over tour dates will start coming out for spring/summer next year and suddenly. lot of acts will become more in focus for these predictions

Elastica posted last night teasing a return, wonder where they would play if they reformed?

My view would be given them any damn slot they asked for just to make it happen. Up to and including the big one.

 

Realistically though in terms of where they could draw a crowd in 2027 - even including a "first time back" bump I think you'd be looking at Woodsies/Park headline, or somewhere around 3rd from top on the Other stage.

 

Unfortunately I'm not sure that the reunion would excite many people not currently in their 40s or 50s.
