Think Foals and Pet Shop Boys will be 2 of the Other headers

I know people have suggested Noel but personally think he’ll still sub the pyramid 

Yeah that would make sense. Can't see him subbing Swift though

[Gingerfish79]

My Chemical Romance have just announced a reunion gig.

Noel and Foals for 2 of the slots I reckon. Plenty of possibilities now after those comments though, should make for a good lineup 

Good shout. She has certainly made bands who couldn't 'really' ever headline the pyramid feel that they maybe could have done, had it not been a special year

[dentalplan]

I don’t know what he actually does now but what about Calvin Harris as one of the ‘Pyramid headliner sized’ ones? Fits because he’d never actually headline the Pyramid but maybe playing on the Other would suit. Maybe SHM for the same reasons.

I think Foals will be one of the names down to headline Other but I don’t think they’ll be having all rock bands headlining Other.

Yeah I’ve been thinking about Calvin Harris too. Could be a good bet.

[Matt42]

Calvin has played the JP yonks ago right? I feel he’s an other headliner that would probably go down well. Is he doing many gigs anymore other than in Vegas?

If the rumours on My Chemical Romance's tour taking in Mad Cool, Werchter etc then they'll be in the vicinity. Would be great exposure in terms of relaunching in the UK, could see them doing this or Pyramid sub for that reason. They're apparently booked in non-headline slots at the other festivals so why not Glastonbury?

I was the guy who disclosed that information. I highly doubt they are doing glasto.

I can't see any circumstances where SHM would be playing for the paltry money Glastonbury would offer.

Doesn't he just do the EDM DJing crap thing now?

Correct, also rarely tours properly if I remember correctly. Why spend all the money on touring when you can fly into Vegas every week and get the same dollar for a couple hours DJ-ing

Just watched a bit of him 'DJing' for some reason - the only YouTube comment is quite telling:

"same set as I saw him about 4 years ago (still timeless tho!)"

I don’t blame the guy, clearly has done very well for himself since being with the band and not even close to headlining a major festival. However, fuckin boring am I right?

On what basis though? Just what you reckon or any specific insider info? 

[1986]

"Pyramid sized" or not i'm still hoping for Bon Iver on one of the nights.

[CJTM]

OK fine i'll be the first to say it: 

 

RATM?

[wilko8]

Kasabian?

As much as I would hope for it Matt, they're coming back for the money aren't they so Glastonbury on the whole isn't really going to lineup for them, especially Other... only way I could see if they had a BST/APE? show, and that was announced and sold out by Feb/March?

Wishful thinking here but v unlikely IMO

I won’t be surprised if they don’t even play in Europe lol.

All this talk of the Pet Shop Boys has made me really hope Public Service Broadcasting are playing somewhere next year! 

Possibly high up on West Holts. 

Headlining The Park would be ideal for me.

I want MCR and RATM on the Other. Would be legendary

[chickenfire]

I’ve not been in a few years (2014) but have they extended the Other Stage field at all? 

It was a bit of a squeeze during busy acts back then so if they have even bigger acts on, it could be a disaster. Especially if it’s a heavier band.
