Radiohead Headlining 2017

[jparx]

They will close with Street Spirit. The only other option is Karma Police, but I reckon they will stick with Glastonbury tradition and plump for Street Spirit.

Close close, or main set close?

The a capella singalong of KP after Thom finishes his strumming would be MASSIVE at the Pyramid and an incredible way for them to walk off. It was SO loud at the Roundhouse last year. 80 000 voices would be like a lilting Radiohead tsunami!

It's a great closer too; went down an absolute storm when they headlined Reading. I think they need to close with a big sing along, so Karma Police or Creep would make sense.

This is true but Karma Police would be my preferred pick.

First encore.

2nd encore of Creep and Karma Police (NOS Alive style) would do nicely.

Close close.

I do agree with you re: Karma Police, however the post-set sing along of Street Spirit can be just as rousing. 

Does anyone have a link to that video shot from the back of the Park stage when they finished on Street Spirit? That's such a special video and will demonstrate my point!

I'm not that big a fan of Karma Police or Creep purely because they are probably their best known songs and overplayed. The one song I hope they play is Idioteque, or anything from Kid A really would make me a happy bunny. Just need a ticket first!

Idioteque has been pretty much ever present since they came back out after AMSP and is just so beloved by the crowds that I think you can rest easy. It'll be there. And it'll be great.

I know what you mean about Karma Police and I kind of agree with you. And then they closed the whole set with it at the Roundhouse and we all went mental and I'd never heard it in quite that way before. It is magnificent when the crowd are up for it!

Now, we defo need Exit Music...

I've decided I actively don't want them to play Creep. It actually makes me cringe, like 6th form poetry.  And when they have such a great back catalogue, it's obviously a waste. But even if it wasn't, I don't want to hear it.

I wouldn't be that disappointed if Creep was left out but Karma Police is a must. The 'for a minute there' singalong would stay with me for the rest of the weekend. Goosebump material.

100% agree for exit music, such an epic piece of music. Would be a great song to finish with.

I know what you mean about Karma police. Its a fantastic song but just doesn't do it for me anymore, but hearing it live on the pyramid is a different kettle of fish and would most likely be epic.

I had goosebumps this morning listening to Let Down, then I realised it was probably because I really needed a wee.

No offence to Radiohead but AMSP isn't going to win over Worthy Farm on a Friday night, as incredible an album as it is. Anymore than five songs - nay, four songs off it, particularly if frontloaded, could kill early interest.

Spot on.

I wish they'd just make do with Burn the Witch and Identikit, cos otherwise some seriously good tunes are going to be sacrificed for average AMSP stuff.

[Dave_c]

The more I listen to AMSP the more I like it, but your average Joe would probably get a bit bored waiting for them to play creep!

[jparx]

Burn the Witch, Ful Stop and Identikit must and probably will be played. The latter two have become highlights of recent sets imo.

[Dave_c]

Would like to hear decks dark too, which they have been playing in sets through last year

Ooo, I'm a bit walloped, but I've just had my very first genuine pangs of excitement for Glastonbury + Radiohead. 

Jeepers. Off to YouTube for a bit...

I have too much time on my hands.

Ironically, Daydreaming is maybe the best song on AMSP.  That or Present Tense.

Hit the nail on the head there. Glastonbury may be historic Radiohead territory but we want "bangers" in equal measure to "chinscratchers".
