Stage predictions

[kingcrawler]

Where/when does everyone think Azealia Banks will be playing? A known name, fallen a bit off the radar due to label troubles, but still quite talked about by your Pitchforks etc after releasing a pretty good debut album in November.

High up (probably subbing) John Peel

[hjglasto]

JP: Flying Lotus, Jamie XX, Jon Hopkins, Rae Morris

Think you may have overestimated the quality of JP bookings.

She seems to have fallen size and relevance wise dramatically despite her twitter 'controversies'. Playing the 1xtra tent at Reading. Could feasibly be a Sonic headliner, or mid-high JP.

[FloorFiller]

yeah she was the last one I had to place and I had no saturday other sub so I stuck her there.

We definitely still have an other sub TBA.

there are a lot of possibilities but i agree that nobody sticks out (especially if we're still thinking Ben Howard is headlining). i'm gonna go for either Iggy Pop or Beck to fit in with recent years' 'alt-rock Other sub', although i don't know why either would be held back from the first announcement

Beck could be held back due to the BST date with the Strokes needing to shift more tickets.

I was dissapointed that Iggy Pop wasn't announced though.

yeah their omission from the lineup is rather disappointing, as i was expecting both. i think one of them may be added, but both unfortunately seems unlikely

[Acid_Haze]

out of all the confirmed + TBC's that are likely to play the main stages this year, I've broken them up a bit, but there's a lot of space for other acts! I think overall the west holts seems the closest on this

[Matt42]

Hozier is on the pyramid Sunday. judging by everything.

[klipper]

I think Other sub is a touch too high for her. West Holts sub or Park headliner I reckon.

Subbing hot chip would be nice, that slots kinda reserved for caribou though.

Still, Fka twigs -> caribou -> hot chip

What a friday evening that would be

Probably a few lower down that I know little about that I've got in unrealistic places. Would have had B&S a little lower but couldn't see DCFC or Clean Bandit any higher/lower so I dunno really.

[FloorFiller]

shit, it's only just dawned on me that one of (if not both) DCFC and B&S are gonna clash with Lionel. this is a nightmare

pretty good attempt i reckon. some awful clashes, but that's exactly what i'm expecting

[galeforcerob]

This may seem a bit out of the blue but what about Enter Shikari headlining the JP?

I know when they last played they were low on the Other but they headlined the 2nd stage at download in 2013 and again this year. With a new album, huge tours around the world and prominent spot at worldwide festivals?

Plus they are always moving up at Reading and Leeds and consistently sell out tours. I know they are Niche, so maybe that would be a less risky option than sticking them in a longer slot on the Other?

... or i'm talking out my ass.

Here's a little picture of how the lineup is looking at the moment from the original poster, on the four main stages. I think we'll be waiting a good few weeks now for the proper lineup announcement so I've highlighted the general approximate of the gaps that'll be filled in this coming lineup so people have an idea of how big the bands will be that are coming. This is the most meticulous of speculations I know

Roughly about 50 more acts coming on the main stages, though most are quite low-level and in the West Holts/Park stage.

I wouldn't get too caught up with the fact that I've put certain bands in certain places because I have no idea for sure yet! This is a pretty rough idea

Ok yes I have a lot of work that I'm putting off doing tonight.

There are two big Other stage slots up for grabs on the saturday and sunday by the looks of this

Could be filled by the likes of:
Frank Turner, Seasick Steve, Beck, The Charlatans, Tame Impala and Placebo

Could be two of these

Drowningfish6 has put this together. Similar to Will-2609's, with some major differences.

i'd considered this. not really sure how likely it is at Glastonbury, but i definitely think they're big enough for it. was surprised to see them on the lineup at all tbh. reckon they'll be lumped on Other again myself

[benscheff]

Have Jon Hopkins and Run the Jewels been confirmed for Friday or is that a guess?

[kingcrawler]

Run the Jewels can only play Friday but Jon Hopkins can play any day.

[benscheff]

Also Todd Terje?

[not worthy]

I guess you all already know this, Clashfinder has a first draft up

[FloorFiller]

Also Todd Terje?

total guesswork really

[kingcrawler]

Also Todd Terje?

Don't think he's confirmed for a specific day either

I think we're starting to get very close now

I know nobody is going to get it right but it's a good way to pass the time while we wait for the proper lineup

[Mash011]

i'd considered this. not really sure how likely it is at Glastonbury, but i definitely think they're big enough for it. was surprised to see them on the lineup at all tbh. reckon they'll be lumped on Other again myself

Yeah Shikari are a really weird one, see them discussed so little here that I've almost forgotten that they're playing despite it being a lot of fun last time I saw them live. I can't see them headlining a stage though, despite being very popular generally I'm not sure if they have that sort of pull for the Glastonbury audience.

[benscheff]

Don't think he's confirmed for a specific day either

Thanks!!

So many of the acts i want to see are lumped on the Friday on that prediction. I hope its not quite right, but still so much to see if it is the way.

[dentalplan]

I guess you all already know this, Clashfinder has a first draft up

Yeah I think drowningfish has put their prediction in. Just guesswork right now but still interesting to judge clashes from it I suppose.

[FloorFiller]

Thanks!!

So many of the acts i want to see are lumped on the Friday on that prediction. I hope its not quite right, but still so much to see if it is the way.

the past two festivals have had ridiculously overstuffed Fridays so, based on this and only this, i'm expecting it to be similar this year
