Hmmm.....I think they need to make the Chrmical Brothers an interesting prospect again, and about the only way I can envisage it is to put them back on the Pyramid as a sub.

Or put them on the acoustic stage. Give them a piano and a banjo or something. "There you go fellas, let's see what you can do with these!"

I don't care, I don't care, I don't care 

I don't care if he comes round here

I got my block rockin' beats in the sideboard here

Let mother sort it out if he comes round here

Chemical Brothers on other stage is not a disappointment though is it? Probably the best set I’ve seen at the festival (2015).

if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Plus frees up some of the fee and is an easy name to split crowds

I dunno, surely the same principle applies to the other stages just as with the Pyramid - you don't particularly want a merry-go-round of the same names year on year. I'd watch them again, but I think they've got more free rein with the secondary stages to have a crack at something different.  You don't see many internet petitions to cancel the Other headliner...

Alright Neil Lonsdale

[CaledonianGonzo]

Iggy and MBV aside, she's also the only one with a bona fide classic album on her CV.

Can't see it happening, mind. She doesn't appear to be on the festival circuit too much, and if she was they'd probably book a Jess Glynne type instead rather than internet forum beloved popsters.

IMO it depends how well this album does. If it ends up being even close to as good as Emotion was I think she would be a great booking. Sure not a mainstream act, but imo not much different to Janelle/St. Vincent/Lykke Li/FKA Twigs.

Carly Rae Jespen??

She falls in the category of pop artists that actually aren't that popular in a mainstream sense but are beloved of hipster sorts - see also Charli XCX, Robyn etc.

Well yeah I imagine she gets by but, barring one or two big hits, she's left the charts well alone. She does generally go for that style of music though so not comparable to Matt's lady-list.

Lorde

[CaledonianGonzo]

Don't mind if I do!

 

[Peanut butter vibes]

Sadly wasn't aware of Lorde's brilliance this time last year, missed that set but have seen her since and she is bloody excellent live

[CaledonianGonzo]

She clashed with Paak, which was one of last year's toughest calls. Still not sure I made the right one.

I don't mind pop music either pal, all I know of her is Call Me Maybe which was pretty popular with kids. It was just a little joke, don't cry lads x 

[Mash011]

Lorde and Charli XCX are great but Carly Rae is shite and has no songs. There's your hot take for the day.

[Mouseboy11]

Lots of weirdos who haven't heard Run Away With Me in this thread.
