Other Stage Headliners 2015

[Perks]

They are unfortunately booked up in Scandinavia all 3 days of glasto now iirc, shame really

Yeah that is a damn shame.

Bugg's law is a sack of shite.

[Gucci Piggy]

Bugg's law is a sack of shite.

If talking about size, yes.

If talking about type of act, then no. As said above, it's usually more leftfield huge acts. Jake Bugg throws this out the window.

Although so did Franz Ferdinand I guess.

morrissey

bjork

hot chip

i would be very happy about those as the other stage headliners.

[shoptildrop]

I'm thinking possibilities are:

Chems or Prodigy

Bjork

Florence

Is it too early to have Portishead back? it was a hard call not seeing these in 2012 but don't regret watching Chic

[FloorFiller]

i'd think Chems and Bjork are likely if they hadn't both headlined it in 2007... but maybe that doesn't matter as much to the organisers as it does to me (in fact, it almost definitely doesn't) so yep, those two

Florence isn't gonna do it though. probably Alt-J for the third

Portishead played in 2013, not 2012, so definitely too soon. They are rumoured to headline Latitude.

[eFestivals]

it definitely is for this year.

[Alan_C]

Would Suede not be a shout for headlining The Other Stage this year? They've got a new album coming out haven't they?

[Spindles]

I don't think Suede have the following or reputation to headline Other myself. I was a big fan of their first 3 albums in particular, but I just don't think they would fit that slot.

[FloorFiller]

Suede would be far more likely to headline JP now i reckon

[kingcrawler]

Suede are more of a JP headliner these days.

Edit: Beaten to it!

[Alan_C]

Hmm maybe so, would have thought JP would have been a bit too small though. They're a weird one to pin down where they would fit in these days, they did play high up at IOW last year though didn't they?

[Spindles]

..or even a slot around the same time as PiL on Other in 2013.

[Alan_C]

New Order would be another possibility as well, although it depends how close they are with releasing the new album and touring.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Are you any closer on any Other Stage names this year?

Iggy Pop must happen

[Amy Lawn]

How about this?

Bjork

FKA Twigs

Bastille

George Ezra

Chemical Brothers

Belle & Sebastian

Patti Smith on West Holts Saturday and Taylor Swift on Pyramid Sunday and I'm happy as a pig in mud.

[FloorFiller]

Bastille is (thankfully) a Reading exclusive isn't he? replace him with Alt-J and that looks about right headliner wise. don't think FKA twigs is big enough for that slot, and Belle & Sebastian will probably headline the Park imo. also reckon George Ezra will be on the Pyramid. reckon Jamie T could take one of those sub slots

[SLEEPYMOPS]

If it was up to me id have faithless, chemical brothers and the prodigy

[FuzzyDunlop]

Im thinking... (Well hoping for - alternate days to suit)

Deadmau5, Iggy Pop

Chemical Brothers, Hot Chip

Bjork, The XX

FKA Twigs not quite big then? I assumed she was quite popular as the troglodytes I work with have heard her music on Radio 1. I had glorious scenes in the old mind's eye of a day where I saw Neneh Cherry, FKA Twigs and Bjork back to back, and died of happiness shortly after.

Surely after headlining Other in 2013, the XX won't sub?

[ghostdancer1]

The xx headlined the Other Stage last time, and are taking time off to make a new album at the moment, so won't be playing, and if they did, wouldn't be subbing.

bastille's exlusivity lasted a few hours.

Having missed out on a ticket in 2013, with the exception of the pyramid headliners and chic - I don't know who played. I've never looked. You are right though. I was unaware
