Other Stage Headliners 2015

[Woffy]

He was trying to get you to leave him alone.

Tom Smith told me no Editors shows next year.

Best lyrics he never wrote.

[Gucci Piggy]

PJ Harvey would be the dream thanks.

[dentalplan]

She's on a similar level to bjork I'd say, and she headlined the other (i may be way off here). That England album was pretty well received too. I'm convinced she'd get a flaming lips sized crowd at least.

Down by the water is epic

It was well received, yeah, but mainly with people already familiar with all her work. She flirted with the mainstream for a while around the start of the 2000's with songs like This is Love and Good Fortune that boosted her popularity but it's always been more of a cult fanbase sort of thing. Same with Bjork really but she was bigger in her pomp and popular for longer I guess. I don't know if I'm making sense but I don't expect her to be a realistic candidate for Other is all I'm saying. Maybe middle of the Pyramid or Park headliner or something instead as she'd be great wherever.

It was a Q+A, the only time I've ever contacted him

Couldn't see her mid-Pyramid. I think she'd headline a stage. Other or Park depending on what they think of her size.

[CHRLY]

Ohh a PJ park headline would be just georgeous.

Yet maybe you're right. Didn't she play 2nd top on the bestival main stage though? I'd be sad in a way if she was only given park headliner status, even though the actual gig would be truly ace

[Lubic]

Tom Smith told me no Editors shows next year.

That's disappointing. Thought they'd be keen to crack on with a new album/tour given they're still in the infancy of their '2nd era'.

[TomViolence]

Surely PJ is way too big for a Park slot, she sells out sizeable venues everywhere. It'd be glorious though!

[Zoo Music Girl]

YES MATE

I'd love to see her on Park. Would be incredible. Is she even doing anything right now though?

doesnt look like it, last gig was 2012 according to her website. Working on a new album presumably.

Did someone say she's an awful c**t in real life? (not nick cave)

I think she's pro fox-hunting, if that's what you're thinking of? Love her music though.

It is - I love Editors and they are a festival favourite of mine

I saw her at ally pally with Portishead in 2011 and it remains one of my all time top gigs

Let England shake is totally tremendous and I'd be at the front anywhere she played committing myself to her

[mgc07]

PJ Harvey I think would sub on the Pyramid but only with a new album

[Matt42]

Alt-J's new album is really mixed for me

Nara, every other freckle and hunger of the pine are great but the rest seems like filler.

The more I think about it, if they've got a light show I can imagine them working quite well as an other headliner. I'd only consider seeing them if there was nothing else I fancied however.

Doubtful unless it's mega popular

Those are great tracks - but the real gems for me are Bloodflood Part II, and The Gospel of John Hurt.

The album grows on me every time I listen. Very atmospheric - certainly one for the dark. Wish I'd had chance to listen to it more before I saw them live the other week.

I think I have referred to her as an 'awful c**t' several times, purely based on her pro fox hunting views.

Brilliant artist nevertheless.

[Bisque]

I'm going to be going against the efest masses but PJ Harvey won't headline the Other Stage. It'll be something along the lines of indie landfill, Noel, Alt-J, Calvin Harris & Kingsland Road.

[FloorFiller]

if Alt-J and Calvin are two of them then i'd hope the third will be something a bit more Portishead / Massive Attack-esque (or just, y'know... good)

[Matt42]

Calvin Harris, Alt-J, Bjork

[FloorFiller]

Calvin Harris, Alt-J, Bjork

hadn't thought of Bjork but that would make sense. not really a fan of her myself but she'd be a good alternative to the more current headliner (if there is one)

I think it sounds very "glastonbury",

Yeah I think his music is shit, but Calvin really could nail an other headline - skrillex looked incredible this year.

I saw Calvin at T, and that's because there was literally nothing else on, but I think that it will be quite a spectacle on the other stage!

[FuzzyDunlop]

Calvin Harris doesn't dj though. Its all just pre planned and programmed sets.
