He’s headlined JP before so there is precedent.

Also all the more reason to not do it again

I’d say it’s the most suitable place for him. His solo stuff isn’t well known at all and if he isn’t doing Pulp stuff (which I don’t think he does) then he can’t really command a slot on any of the bigger stages. 

JP or Park would be about right.

Feels like more of a Park act to me

[The Clearest Blue]

I imagine, as is often the case, that the Correspondents will pop up again, last year they played the Glade mid-day Friday, year before was the Hell stage on the Thursday. I imagine a similar billing next year.

ok how about this: MGMT on the Pyramid in 2019

Hopefully. I reckon high up the other though.

Never done it and have more than enough bangers for it. I reckon it'd go down well.

[Gucci Piggy]

Can't imagine MGMT being any good mid-afternoon on the Pyramid.

Bit of a generalisation 'cause I know a lot of shite ends up on the Pyramid but I don't think they're a spectacular enough of a booking to warrant a slot on that stage. Not exactly setting the world on fire at the moment or anything.

Plus, are they not terrible live? Or at least they were on the Other in 2010. Have they sorted their shit out or do they just not translate well to an outdoor stage? Reckon they'd just end up on Other again if anywhere.

Saw em at Mad Cool the other week and they were alright; nothing special though. I did see them straight after Justice, mind, so it was always gonna be a bit dull in comparison. Reckon it'd have been shit in the daylight.

I really hope Tame Impala are there. I reckon they could headline other stage. The new album probably won’t have been out for that long at the time of the festival.

Don't see it myself. They subbed last time and will only be getting bigger come the next album. A Other headline slot would be a bit of a step down and I imagine they'll be looking to headline a few festivals themselves.

APE perhaps?

Perhaps, but that would be two London festivals in less than a year. I reckon Parklife might get them.

[Mash011]

Yeah Citadel this year sold pretty badly so another London fest so soon would be weird, reckon they'll just do some big tour dates instead.

[kingcrawler]

APE have the money to have a pretty strong undercard though, whereas while Citadel had some good acts in there it was undoubtedly weaker than most APE days. If they’re about next summer then I expect Primavera and APE to get them.

I hope you're right but even if they play Parklife it's unlikely to rule them out of other festivals. Past couple of years all of the headliners have headlined elsewhere in the UK, with LG, The xx and Frank Ocean all doing London fests.

I think Tame Impala could do APE on the back of a successful new album. I'd be surprised if they're deemed as less of a draw than LCD or Bjork.

[Mash011]

They'd be a better booking for APE in 2020 with some kind of exclusivity attached. Give them a year off the London fests and let them do their own dates instead.

Be surprised if we saw them at Glasto anyway, it doesn't really feel like there's anywhere for them to go and even if the album does launch them to proper headliner level it wouldn't happen in time for Glasto to book them any time soon.

Not a lot beats peak Muse but since the 3rd album it's gone downhill rapidly.

As the resident Muse fanboy, a lot does beat peak Muse.

Brutal headline clashes there, especially on Friday, but that'd be a great lineup.

Something like this would be an ideal weekend.

Bloc Party > Ezra Furman > Mitski > Interpol > M83 > My Bloody Valentine

The Lemon Twigs > Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever > Franz Ferdinand > Confidence Man > Vampire Weekend > Childish Gambino

The Twilight Sad > Car Seat Headrest > Deftones > Blood Orange > Paul McCartney (or FJM > Janelle Monae)

Sunday clashes Jesus! Macca, The Prodigy and Janelle, in my head The Prodigy win that but at that moment Macca on the Pyramid stage probably will. I can see Janelle doing that slot but I'd rather her further down on the Pyramid for clashes reasons.
