Would like to see A$AP Rocky at Glastonbury, his last album was pretty underrated

[Hugh Jass]

That Reading lineup is God awful.

[Andeeroo]

Most of the names are alien to me so I have no idea if it would be considered a good or bad lineup. 

I'd only pay money to see Hinds and Savages out of that lot.

I counted the same out of curiosity and I can name 44. I like about 5 of them tohugh

Honestly can't believe how poor that R&L line up is. 

And for the record I recognised the names of 30 bands on the poster

Hope we get stage splits on Tuesday and can work out what Neil was on about with NME headliners being equivalent to 3rd down NME. Only potential ones I could see are HAIM and A$AP Rocky. I think HAIM will be main at R&L, though. A$AP Rocky definitely the most preferable option. I had Jack U, TDCC and The Vaccines as NME headliners, though, of which none will be 3rd down the Other this year.

Also looking forward to seeing what Biffy's exclusivity status is.

Was that meaning the NME headliners headliners are equivalent to about 3rd down on the Other?

Id so I'm going to guess BBK, Courteeners and Asap

edit: actually maybe chvrches instead of bbk

Yeah he said NME headline was equivalent to 3rd down Other and said to ask for an explanation in April if we still care. So I took that to mean someone headlining the NME Stage either this year or in the last year or two will be third down the Other Stage this year. There are no remotely likely options from the last couple of years so I'm guessing an NME headliner from this year will do it.

Edit: I can't see Jack Ü doing anything other than headlining NME. They're also headlining a stage at Creamfields on the Saturday when they're set to play Leeds so I guess they'll play early on at Creamfields and then head to Leeds; in which case I think they'll be on as late as possible at Leeds. CHVRCHES opposite Foals would be mental, too, but then again Jack Ü opposite Disclosure probably is as well.

Vaccines were 3rd down the Other last year, played at about 7pm on the Friday

My apologies, it was late and I didn't quite get what you meant.

I counted 25 off that R&L poster that I recognised, and about three I'd take for Glastonbury.

[FuzzyDunlop]

In regards to Glastonbury: Is the school of thought that we wont really hear anything new officially now for about a month? Before a poster being released?

Im hoping Neil manages to get word on any WH headliners... preferably something good!! I remember he had the Parliament / Funkadelic saturday spot on a few weeks before the poster reveal.

Smaller stages from now on. The days of good Pyramid headliners are over.

Think Earth, Wind and Fire are a good bet for one of them. The other two I couldn't hazard a guess at - always some massive surprises on the WH lineup (Mothership last year - Bryan Ferry the year before etc)

It seems like it, EE said another headliner in around 2 weeks when they announced Colplay, did exactly that and that we'd get a full lineup in April.  I'm hoping that they announce the last headliner somewhere between now and then though.

they never existed.

What existed was your own bad tastes.

[sisco]

I'm just hoping Foals are announced and then I'm happy to wait (obviously I have no choice and will have to wait anyway)
