a clash with Taylor would be helpful as i have no interest in her and a dilemma over the Boys if they play.  i am seeing the Dreamland tour twice before Glastonbury so if it was a big clash i may have missed them,  but the idea of being somewhere else when they are playing also seems insane.  really didn't want to be at the Killers this year but only went to keep my wife happy,  when they came out it made missing the Chems a little easier to cope with

I was like that with Hot Chip this year. Even though I ended up seeing them elsewhere 3 times last year, I ended up regretting not seeing them at Glasto.

The new single is rather funky.  all the songs off the album that have been released have been very different so i really dont know what to expect from it (other than it being great)

They are always brilliant.

I have come to the conclusion that if you don't like Hot Chip, you don't like life.

What would the chance of Pet Shop Boys sub headline under Taylor? I think that'd be a great set up.

i think they would like that as it gives them a chance to introduce themselves to a younger audience (which they have been trying for a while) but their shows of late have been very visual and light based so i think they would only do show in the dark.  i think a Park stage would be good although hoping for a late night dance set even though it is very unlikely.

Sounds ideal.

Thats my only worry is that they've been doing a lot of very dark shows with visual effects. 

Unsure where this thought of them doing a late night dance stage has come from but would be very much up for it as I can only really see them going against Kendrick who i'll be seeing.

They've said they only want to play when it's dark, so my money is on Other Stage headliner.

just my deep hope, no info to suggest it would happen.  saw them do a little late night version of the fundamental show years back in a small 200 people venue that gave Chris a good run out while Neil just sung occasionally and it was really dancey and was amazing.  them doing something like that again would be amazing.

Yeah that’s what I think. Unless they are headlining WH one night and would fit with the rumour that one WH headliner is really big this year!

I think Pet Shop Boys Friday other stage headliner against Kendrick would work.

[discgoesmic]

I have to admit, I've only been into PSB since they came out with The Killers last year. If they perform I'll 100% be there!

I'm also thinking Other stage headliner. A clash with Taylor would be perfect for me also and I think they're a crowd-pleaser for the day ticket folks. I have friends who would see Macca and I'd certainly see Kendrick if announced, so it would be the best fit for us.

As said above, them on IICON at 2am would be one of the best moments of the weekend. Is the area big enough for them and at that time of night? Can a stage be put there for them? Who knows.

They are far, far to big for any late night announced set. They are one of the biggest UK artists of all time. There would be absolute bedlam.

This is the company they are keeping when it comes to record sales

Noel is clashing with Taylor so rule that one out.

Oh really? I haven't been up to date with rumours recently, but that's also a win!

I can only imagine that PSB will clash with Kendrick in that case as I can't see them playing same time as Macca.

Then people saying they could headline West Holtz/Park are also way far out. Other stage or nothing then.

here is the semi confirmation ... if this works

That would be tremendous but I reckon it’s more likely to be headlining the other. Going to see them in Glasgow before the festival. Their previous tours have been great and are on sky arts catch up 

still no mention of them on the rumours page!

That depends who they are up against.

At 2am they wouldn't be up against anyone big enough.

I still think PSB will play West Holts.
