Other Stage Headliners 2015

[the wonderwhy]

They're definitely at Bravalla on the Friday http://www.bravallafestival.se/

Guess they're probably out then.

[Gucci Piggy]

I think Faith No More subbing Other while Foos headline is just like Pixies subbing Other while Metallica headline, to be fair. And I also just don't think they'll play.

[ghostdancer1]

Alt-J vs Coldplay.....

battling to see who can bore everyone to sleep first...

[FuzzyDunlop]

Yeah I'd definitely be looking for a better alternative elsewhere. Aphex Twin/Funkadelic on WH or Cribs on JP/Park would suffice.

Liking the WH alternative.

Hot Chip would be my preference, but its a yes from me.

Or BRMC in the John Peel

Jeez I didn't read the days and thought it was Friday to Sunday rather than Thursday to Saturday,

like that JP suggestion.

[Space Shanty]

Nine Inch Nails and Leftfield would get me interested

No chance I'm afraid

No chance I'm afraid

Sadly this is probably true.

Although with the third Leftfield album due for release this year they might pop up somewhere... West Holts if anywhere.

But I'm kind of resigned to seeing them elsewhere

[WS_Jack_III]

Leftfield would be awesome. Didn't know a 3rd album was due.

Thank you and thank you and thank you.

all the mystery has be solved!

I do quite enjoy a Faithless set, saw them in 2010 and are a formidable act.

I do believe that God could well be a DJ as well.

Just as I'm reading the last sentence of this God is A DJ starts on Radio 6.

It's an omen !

[WS_Jack_III]

It's an omen !

nah, that's The Prodigy

[Callum_96]

Looking at The Prodigys placement for T are we looking at them as a proper contender for a Other Stage headliner slot, maybe against Coldplay?

[dentalplan]

Prodigy are elsewhere Friday and Saturday but yeah it's certainly back on the table.

[Earthwindandfire2205]

nah, that's The Prodigy

Very good

[DGrant261]

Who's the Friday/Saturday/Sunday high-Other alternative-rock slot gonna go to this year? Faith No More are either clashing with Foos or they're out (unless they're lower than sub) so I'm already out of ideas, as far as touring acts go.

edit: Also FWIW I dunno about alt-j headlining Other now it'd probably be against Flo or Coldplay. Would make a better sub for one of those than an alternative.

Two questions

1. How about Placebo for the Friday/Saturday/Sunday high-Other alternative-rock slot this year?

2. Why can't Alt'J headline other on the Friday? Are they busy that night? Alt-J vs Foos would be much better for them than against Flo/Coldplay

It'd have to be a set packed with hits/older material

Sorry, I thought you meant you were hoping for Nine Inch Nails on the Leftfield!! My mistake

[monkey1989]

back on topic would love to see faithless on the other stage headliners along with Bjork and Gogol bordello

[01seb]

They are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year and will be re-releasing album across their discography I'd definitely say this would mean that shows this year will be 'hit-heavy' and span their whole career.
