Stage predictions

Recommended Posts

Here's my go at it, feel free to comment

Friday:

Main Stage:

Coldplay, The Vaccines, Electric Light Orchestra, Sam Smith, Damien Rice

Other Stage:

Beck, Royal Blood, Modest Mouse, Ride

Royal Blood are busy, IIRC Damien Rice is too? Don't think Sam Smith would sing lower than ELO either :)

Here's my go at it, feel free to comment

Friday:

John Peel:

Hot Chip, Marina & the Diamonds, Django Django, Jamie xx, Wolf Alice

All of these would be more likely for the Other I think :)

Royal Blood are in playing European festivals on the Saturday and the Sunday, they could definitely play the Friday. Damien Rice is playing Werchter on the Saturday, and Down the Rabbit Hole on either the Friday or the Sunday, so he could well show up, but it's unclear whether it'd be the Friday or the Sunday

Sam Smith clearly doesn't know his place then. If Ben Howard can play 4th in 2013, then so can Sam Smith this year. ELO certainly won't play lower than 3rd

The thing is though, I already have acts on the other stage ;)

Please can someone explain to me why there are so many people saying that FATM are pyramid headline options.

I like them and know they are big in Europe but don't get this at all..

Headlined Latitude & Bestival, subbed Reading & Leeds, two number one albums, handful of top 10 singles, sold out arenas...

Why would you say not, matt?

Widespread mass appeal. Not too niche. Big album sales. New album pending. Track record of headlining. Adds a female demographic to a headliner list - not as positive discrimination, but always seen as good for balance.

I'm not in anyway a fan, and would certainly not watch a Pyramid set by FATM, but her/their appropriateness as a potential headliner seems indisputable to me. Mumfords less suited?

Looking at these potential line-ups for the first year i'll be checkingthe other, park and west holts headliners before pyramid when it's announced. If i can get chemical brothers, belle and senastian and hot chip respectively i'll be beside myself. A three way clash would then get me annoyed that i'm so disintersted with everything (rumoured to be) on the pyramid...

Beck, Hot Chip on friday would be brilliant.

Motorhead - Death From Above 1979, then leg it around to the Pyramid for Iggy Pop and the strokes, then to the SE Corner woud be an award winning saturday.

Chemical Brothers would round off the weekend nicely.

I'd happily take that

I think our plans would be very similar! (Though I'd see JAMC before heading to the SE corner on the Saturday)

I believe The Jacksons are a uk festival exclusive at bestival as well Zac

The efests article didn't mention it but okay I trust you :( if that's right then stick Dizzee Rascal as Saturday sub, for he does love taking an unjustified sub slot at every other Glastonbury, and Paloma Faith or someone before Flo.
