Ah that’s a shame. Still not managed to catch him live and I’m a big fan.

Same.  Heard he can be hit and miss though.  If I'm honest, I still prefer the Ben Folds Five stuff to most of his solo outings too.  Does he play much of that in his sets?

I'd give him with the Chicago orchestra a go though 🙂  I think he could be quite popular, though I could see a danger of him being given an overcrowded Avalon or CN (e.g. Travis a few years ago) slot.

Oh, OK... starting to reach the point where Pavement at Glasto could actually be more than just wishful thinking! Would be chuffed if they headlined the Park against GnR.

Told you guys. Sunday is going to be the clash to end all clashes. 

Elton / Prodigy / Nas / Pavement. Something wild like that.

Wilco are doing the same. 3 nights in April.

Only one winner, see you at the other.

[Hugh Jass II]

I just want one of the following acts, all known to be active this coming summer, to headline a stage on the Friday night:

• Prodigy
• Yeah Yeah Yeahs
• The National
• Pavement

Any of those an an alternative to Arctic Monkeys would do me just fine.

Makes sense. Need loads up against Elton I reckon (sadly).

I don’t even have a ticket yet but I’m desperate for The Prodigy to headline the other stage against AM on the friday

See, this is the kind of thinking I can get on board with

Either the clashes will be brutal on Sunday, or the overcrowding will be. Take your pick. Sadly that's the way it is.

Why would it be worse than Macca, the Stones, Dolly, Kylie, etc?

Elton will likely be by far the busiest of the three headliners, plus there are locals on the Sunday. I'm not saying it will be busier than the ones you mentioned necessarily, but with the extra care about overcrowding big clashes just make a lot of sense.

Also, better be prepared to have the Prodigy, Fred again, nas and pavement all against Elton and then be pleasantly surprised.

QOTSA (Pyramid) -> Prodigy (Other) on the Friday would be a dream.

Lizzo (Pyramid) -> Yeah Yeah Yeahs (JPT)

Pulp (Pyramid) -> Elton John (Pyramid)

That'd be pretty swell too. Ticket money recouped in just those 6 sets, anything else a bonus.

It'll be busy - but that's different to overcrowding.

Certainly. I worded the whole thing awkwardly. Big clashes make sense on the Sunday is what I'm trying to say, I expect it to be this way as the organizers will try to divert people from the pyramid and I believe we better prepare for that.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I dunno - they scheduled Megan Thee Stallion and Roisin Murphy against Macca; Chase and Status against the Stones.

The Hoosiers were on Avalon to help out.

I know it's a month later, but Cirez/Beyer is absolutely god tier.

 

Hope Prydz turns up at Glasto

I'm leaning towards GnR and Reg so looking for a firm Friday night option with nothing I want to see clashing with them.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Friday night has a lot hinging on it. Of the names in the mix, Lizzo, The Prodigy or Rosalia better not be clashing with Axl or Reg.
