Wolf Alice announced for Standon Calling. Surely now a favourite to headline the Other after the previous rumour?

Aye, that certainly puts them back in the frame.

Looking at the lineups for the midsize UK festivals that are starting to get relased, what really stands out is the lack of depth. All the money spunked on 3 big name headliners, and a couple of big subs, then a swathe of really really small (and presumably cheap) bands. I guess the only way to survive is to punt all your money on a couple of big names to draw the punters in. Maybe a result of the fierce competition in that sector.

Wow nice to see IDLES playing a festival this summer.

Rag and the Boneman is surely getting a major Pyramid placement this year.

...and one of the biggest crowds of the weekend. Frees up space for the rest of us.

Interesting location on 6 Music's Instagram post...

That post, coupled with no Saturday headliner in the frame means this place is about to go into meltdown.

And she made a bit of a deal about him yesterday too...

Oh I don't think he'll headline the Pyramid, but may be a 2019 possibility...

It'd be a crime putting him anywhere else. Maybe next year if they do actually have a mega mythical 2020 line-up but I'd rather him wait and headline 2021.

That photo is just from Glastonbury though, hence why its been tagged, can't see him being there this year without anything new out.

Hasn't he subbed the Pyramid the last two times though? Would new material be enough for him the clinch the top spot? Genuine questions as his music isn't really on my radar!

He moved from Apollos to Arenas last tour and his last album seemed to raise his profile somewhat. Personally I reckon if The Cure can do it he can, although I don't think they;d have both the same year, or even years back to back. It'd be a new headliner though, and you'd do well to find a bad report from any of those arena gigs as well, he's got it in him.

In reality it's a discussion more than a fact though.

Ah fair - I guess time will tell and in the meantime I'll have a listen!

Nick Cave is nowhere near as popular as The Cure.

I don't get it. It's a picture from Glastonbury, hence it's tagged as Glastonbury?

Shh. Don't be coming here with your sensible explanations.

I looked out the window last night and saw them erecting a small stage in my back garden.

20 quid, or ten if you want the Manics too.

Definitely, most of the general population will at the very least have heard of The Cure and know the likes of Friday I'm in Love. Cave would mostly elicit "who?" and "the bloke who did the Peaky Blinders song?"

Can someone tell me where to start with Nick Cave? 

By all accounts he's someone I should love, but I've never been exposed to any of his music, and have no idea where to begin.

I am in a similar position, asked for Lovely Creatures, his best of, on vinyl for Christmas and am enjoying it.

And these points to me at least partly evidence why I can't see him headlining!
