Other Stage Headliners 2015

[Gucci Piggy]

It was supposed to be Lorde according to Neil.

Yeah I don't mean like I think it was them and they pulled out.

I just mean like I was so sure it was going to be them that I'm still convinced.

Don't even think that makes any sense.

I know you're across the water and all, but if I can live in Stockport and claim The Stone Roses, New Order and Elbow etc, then you can bloody well claim The Beatle s!

Nowt wrong with Stockport. I was born in Hyde and brought up in Denton and I also claim The Stone Roses as my own.

Yeah, and "Hand in Glove" was recorded in Stockport.

It's only just dawned on me that Calvin's now out of the picture. Booked up at four Nordic festivals between Thursday and Sunday.

Oh wow, genuinely thought he was a given other headliner

This is the best news we have had yet!!

[nowyouregideon]

Agreed. Calvin Harris is just awful.

[Bisque]

Agreed. Calvin Harris is just awful.

Live he was decent.

DJing he is rubbish.

[home to you]

We don't have too many alternatives but that's good news about Calvin

Good news indeed. Probably marginally increases the likelyhood of other big dance acts in high profile slots as well - chemical brothers, underworld, justice etc

Deadmau5 vs Prydz... I personally think it would be mega on the other stage. I just don't know if they are big enough.

deadmau5 would be on his own, not 100% sure about prydz but that would be incredible

[bocumaroy]

I like Lorde but thank fuck for that.

Edit: actually I think it was a family emergency so I'm not thankful. I just don't think that'd have been good.

I'd have loved it. 17 and joining your favourite band headline Glastonbury. Be alright, that.

I have no doubt it'd be nice for her but you could say the same thing about Jake Bugg joining Rolling Stones onstage.

[bocumaroy]

Well, you could, but I don't like Jake Bugg and have no great interest in The Rolling Stones, so I probably wouldn't feel quite the same way.

Has the prospect of her joining them on stage been mentioned anywhere on here? First I've heard of it.

Fucking bring back Bloc Party.

They are fucking awesome.

They might need some dollar.

Book Bloc Party!!!

If not on the Other then maybe West Holts (which I doubt would happen). None of the Silver Hayes stages would be big enough. Been saying it for a couple years now, electronic music needs a dedicated outdoor stage at the festival to accommodate acts not quite popular enough for the Other Stage but big enough to seriously overcrowd Sonic Stage to the point of either being crushed to death, not being able to hear the music or just as bad, being stuck between Blues, Gully and Sonic with some terrible soundbleed.

That DM v EP set at Hard Day of the Dead was fantastic

Wonderful post, actually thinking about it Bloc Party are a band who I have been missing over the last 2 or 3 years at Glasto.

[DomDom1984]

Apparently they're going to be back next year, so a wee Glasto slot would be good.

Agreed, it seems like there's this huge gap between Other and Sonic that needs to be filled. It was very noticeable when we were talking about Aphex Twin and nobody could think where to place him on the lineup.

Didn't they put Disclosure and Rudimental on Sonic back in 2013? remember being around the Other Stage at a similar time as one of them was on and it was absolutely insane. Glastonbury needs to realise the popularity of mainstream electronic music amongst their demographic; it's not a niche fanbase anymore.

It seems they did the right thing this year by putting both of the aforementioned acts on main stages but that bottleneck for Silver Hayes/Other that year was horrible. I didn't go in 2014 so don't know if it improved much?

I just went to check when it was exactly that Disclosure got really massive and realised that Latch is over two years old.

Fuck.

Couldn't Aphex Twin headline the Park stage? That's where I'd place him. There's also been dance acts on West Holts, such as Disclosure and Chase and Status.

He's far too big for Park. I think he could potentially headline West Holts but I'd rather see a dedicated dance/electronic music type area than have the remit of West Holts change too much.
