Dua, Calvin and Camila so far. 2 of those based on tour gaps and one with people in the know saying its very likely.

Biffy is as likely as Calvin also.

If Biffy headline the Other instead of The National I will not be impressed.

They were never going to headline, but nobody would rule them out popping up somewhere else.

On the note of the Big Weekend performers. How likely is it that 2 of the 3  Other headliners could be Dua Lipa, Calvin Harris and Biffy Clyro?

A few people have been saying they're hearing that Dua is not on the Other stage. I can see Calvin being one though, maybe Biffy across from Taylor but I still see that one as Foals.

Biffy seem far more likely than The National. IMO The National aren’t even in contention - despite the general opinion of this forum it would be a far less popular booking than Biffy, who would be a great counter to Swift for most.

I wouldnt want The National to be there unless its guaranteed to be a High Violet show. It would be the only thing to make me go out of the way to see them.

The National or we riot.

The National are back subbing the pyramid. I really believe it.

Ha! I'd not hate you for it, really hope they play, but I'd seriously recommend seeing BC live if you haven't before. They're really good. Huge sound for a three piece.

Nah.

I like the National but there's no way the festival are making that mistake again.

Agreed.  Was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it when I saw them

I wasn’t that impressed by the National in 2017. Was one of the bands I was looking forward to but he sounded like he had done Glasto too hard and was suffering the effects of it all. 
 

I’d probably give them a miss this year.

Was able to stroll right down the front for the National. I personally enjoyed it (was my first time seeing them) but they didn't really connect with the field at all. I'd be surprised if they got another high spot on the Pyramid following that showing. Biffy on the other hand just have a habit of smashing these things out of the park with ease

The National would go down like a fart in an elevator should they interrupt a poptastic run at the Pyramid on the Sunday 

[ghostdancer1]

The National are far too unknown with the general public to be subbing the Pyramid really (although you could probably say the same for Beck, Vampire Weekend and a few others too).

even headlining the Other, I wouldn't expect much of a crowd, especially considering the size of crowds for New Order, Alt-J, LCD in recent years, and this year's Pyramid headliners being of similar strength.

If they're big enough to headline APE without resorting to giving tickets away then they're big enough for the Other.

I'm sure they are, but they still probably won't get even a half-full Other field.

LCD barely filled past the sounddesk.
