Other Stage Headliners 2015

[Bradders]

Way to big for the JP now. I think I saw them headlining the JP in, what 2007, 2008? Was cracking, but honestly, not a patch on that Other set a couple of years back. I thought they absolutely nailed it that night in 2010

They really did didn't they? Love it when a set comes together to universal massive acclaim like that one did.

is that when they were on before flaming lips? I was there early to get a good spot and was expecting to detest them, but it was tremendously enjoyable.

[Amy Lawn]

Hot chip are big enough, and, I reckon, good enough. They always put on a good show, and they'd revel in the opportunity. I can see them headlining both Latitude and Gladtonbury other next summer.

Hot Chip have more than earned a Latitude headline spot after their set before Kraftwerk last year, tbh they were big enough and good enough that time (so were the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), they just wanted to play before their heroes. With Alexis having been back this year with the William Onyeabor band, I'd bet they're in good standing to get the call-up next year.

If Glastonbury are going to give them a slot (which isn't secret, then they shouldn't be anywhere but Other headliner. They deserve the top billing for whatever stage they're on, and I don't think the Eavii have the cahones to give them a Pyramid headline slot.

Yep. Excellent crowd too, rare to see everyone in sight dancing and laughing with each other all set.

Yes! They was friggin' ace at Bestival this year! and I spent of that time outside the tent!

Really wasn't expect to much from them but wow they know how to put on a party!

[The Placid Casual]

All this talk about the likes of Sigur Ros and Hot Chip makes me think that we'll just end up with Calvin Harris and Alt J

I will be surprised if Calvin Harris is not on.

I will be somewhere else.

I second that.

Basement jaxx were phenomenal at brixton and im buzzing to see them at the o2

there is no doubt they are good enough, only doubt over whether they are big enough, i would say!

Jake Bugg this year just shows that all you need to do is be popular (extremely popular) at the given time in order to get the nod. its the opposite for hot chip, they can do no more than they have up to now so you just have to hope the bookers see sense.

but i don't think they will.

plus there's the question of whether their new album will be out in time for it to work. but lets cross fingers!! last time I saw them was at the warehouse project with Chic and they held their own and matched them for a show in my opinion.

its exactly the kind of headliner you would think other stage bookers would go for, it'd be a massive party and a sure fire winning show and wouldn't (comparatively speaking) be too expensive budget wise.

Calvin Harris

Ben Howard

The Vaccines

Royal Blood

Rudimental

Hot Chip

I think it's pretty clear Rudimental will be back with a big slot considering their set cut this year.

[dentalplan]

That's a huge bump though to compensate for a set cut short.

It doesn't seem like The Vaccines are rushing back. Apparently the album's only half written so it might be another summer off.

[kingcrawler]

Think Rudimental are meant to have a new album out before next summer so I'm expecting them to be back anyway. Not too sure where they'd play, I put them as a West Holts headliner in the prediction thread but that was more down to not knowing where else to put them, not sure they really fit that stage. I suppose they could sub Other but I'd be really surprised if they headlined it.

I pissed myself by accident during Hot Chip in 2010.

Let us know if they put on a more expensive or special show for the O2. Then they could work. Bestival was too dangerous to stay for longer than 3/4 songs.

[Tuna]

Yeah that Bestival set was way too crowded. Wasn't worth staying when John Talabot (and James Zabiela) were blowing my fucking mind.

[bamber]

Air

[Rose-Colored Boy]

yeah think air will probably be present tbh

Kiesza. Please?

someone has contacted me to say that Alt-J have been offered a headline slot.

At this moment in time I've no way of knowing how truthful that might be, tho I'm inclined to think there's probably something to it.

If I was booking that stage I'd make the offer. As myself, I wouldn't go to see them, but that's not the point.

Thought that the pyramid seemed most likely... Oh well hopefully it'll be up against a headliner I care about.
