Other Stage Headliners 2015

[LondonTom]

Yeah they're not as big as Disclosure. I think they're JP headline sized. I thought they were a fairly small NME headliner when they did that at R&L in 2012.

A valid point, the tent did seem fairly empty at Reading as they was still on for 20 minutes after Foo Fighters! So thought it was rammed when we left but could get to about the middle.

But I think at Glastonbury unless it was a massive Pyramid/Other stage the JP could be to small. (Really its hope as I just don't like the JP tent tbh.)

I reckon something like playing last like the XX but having someone biggish like the Smashing Pumpkins would suit them better,.

I couldnt name or recognise a single justice song.

what's it like?

I really want this to happen now. Not just because it'd be bad ass but to prove people wrong!

Just a kinda rockier electronic house thing.

Think this song is played between artists on one of the main stages at Glastonbury. Intro ends at 0:38.

Justice were the bollocks in 06/07, but that second album was a load of toss. Unless they come back with a world beater, they're not headlining anything big at Glastonbury.

[Bisque]

Kingsland Road have a new album coming out just in time for a major Glastonbury announcement!

[Slugworth]

They are a second rate Chemical Brothers

Absolutely not. A Justice set could hold up against a Chemical Brothers set.

Are they current? No probably not but neither are The Chems. I would say they would both have to bring out something amazing to warrant an Other stage headline slot.

Maybe i'm just a Justice fanboy?

I didn't think the second album was that bad. Completely different from the first but not toss.

[Winslow Leach]

I'd watch Justice if I was there, but I wouldn't actively go to see them like I would with The Chemical Brothers.

[Matt42]

Justice would be great, I reckon they would headline the park pretty easily? Maybe west holts? If MIA Can then they surely are big enough? She's not had a successful single / album for years

[Leggins]

Pretty sure that's at least the 4th/5th time you've mentioned them.

If you just keep naming stages, eventually one of them will have to be right.

I think it's more likely that someone people have heard of might be on.

Maybe The Pies could do it?

Fair dos

To me it sounded as though they took one element from their live shows- dropping Master of Puppets- and built a whole record off it. It just didn't grab me like the first record.

Yes but the Chems have been defining and evolving dance music for over 20 years and released more albums that I can remember, so they pretty much transcend current fads. They have earned their niche and will undoubtedly come back with something new and different and relevant.

Justice haven't.

[nofunciona]

AVD is not that bad- what let me down is that it was 4 years in the making. When bands bring an album out every year or so, an under-par release is easily forgotten. After 4 years, you expect a new album to be really well thought through and honestly I think it sounds like they could have made that album in a week or two. Still some great songs; I love New Lands.

I saw them at O2 Bristol in 2011 just before AVD was released and they smashed it live though. Would love to see them again, hopefully with better new tunes this time! Anyone who doubts them as a live force should watch the documentary of their first album 'A Cross The Universe'. They are absolutely nuts.

[Homer]

Packed out the Big Top at Bestival 2012 though. Hard to gauge.

Not hard to do though if you're a dance-based act playing the Big Top immediately after the main stage has just shut down.

Aren't the an X-Factor reject group? As if they'd play!

[ghostdancer1]

Justice could do West Holts.

they're not big enough or relevant enough to headline the Other Stage.

maybe in 07 or 08 when the electro-house fad was at it's height, but not now.

I'm not a resident of the capital, so could you enlighten me; is that good or bad?

[monkey1989]

It was tongue in cheek yeah but Noel said if glasto ask me I'm there is il play anywhere il headline the spoken word stage

Ben Howard to headline the Other? Looking likely that his album is going to beat Slipknot to no.1 this week.

Howard is prime Pyramid fare.

Real clash of the genres on the charts this week.
