Gotta be a chance for Other Stage Headliner next year!

Reckon they'd be a perfect Sunday night closer on the Other.

As a support act, maybe, but headline feels ambitious.

APE for a third time in 5 years would be a surprise imo. Gunnersbury or Crystal Palace, maybe?

Other Stage headliner is my guess.

Taking on the Foals role of Other headliner up against something for the younger crowd on the Pyramid (Dua?)

I see Lisbon got the same stuff as London with night 1 and night 2 having different sets (although Vanderlyle was done as an improptu encore on night 2). Looks like even somehow more songs not played in London made it as well, which... not bad.

I would love to see them headline Woodsies myself.. Partly because the Other is my least favourite stage but I also think they are a band that like to connect with their audience and Woodsies feels better suited to that

That's The National on the Hurricane line-up the weekend before G next year... odds-on to be there somewhere.

They’re appearing on episode 1 of the new series of Later… with Jools Holland.

They did mention while on stage at Alexandra Palace that they filmed it the night before those two shows in the adjoining theatre, so I was expecting their appearance. Not quite so soon but hey - it all counts.

Sunday night Other Stage closer? Or even Saturday given Antwerp to Glastonbury isn't that far?

[1986]

Dates are looking tasty but they have been in the area before and skipped it so who knows.

The National and Madge are going to clash, aren’t they?

Not been following the threads for a while. Are we thinking Madge is likely now? Hopefully The National would be on an alternate day!

Either up against Madonna or Dua Lipa, certainly not going to be against Coldplay (if the rumours are true). Rather they didn’t headline a stage at all in that case, bloody pointless.

[charlierc]

Well, The National are playing a festival in Belgium on Glasto Friday, so it'll be either Saturday or Sunday.

I heard that they only had a couple of hundred in the crowd, is that right?

Watching back on the iplayer it did look very thin , but those there were very comitted, and the band seemed appreciative of their attendance

That's great. Good for them. Can't fault Phoenix, awesome live band

[NorthernSoul52]

Concur with whoever said Sunday against Madonna. Given I feel fairly strong on a hunch for The Prodigy also topping the Other, would wager they might play up against Dua Lipa.

And that 99% confirms the Sunday I would say. Also - Castlefield Bowl, yes please!!
