Worst group of DJ’s of all time. There sets are fucking atrocious 

The early version of Major Lazer was a hoot. Much more dancehall-influenced than the EDM monster they turned into 

[Mexico54]

Other stage openers maybe?

[CaledonianGonzo]

The only feasible downward step from The Libertines.

Can someone do one of those meme things - in our heads it'll be U2(-Larry), or the Foos, reality is Razorlight and Kaiser Chiefs...

I always thought Major Lazer was one guy.

Shite either way.

Really hoping that the B 52's farewell tour makes a stop on the Farm. It would make my wife's festival. 

They have a big gap in their tour for June / July, could that be for the festival circuit?

Yeo The B52's featured very heavily in my teenage years and would blood love to see them. If they do appear they'd be a must see for me.

Worst for me was when it was Beady Eye only made better by having The Hives appear afterwards. In fact there are days when I appear to have completely repressed the memory of Beady Eye and tell people The Hives were my favourite Other stage opener.

That was an absolutely brilliant Glastonbury moment and just think a decade later you only have to mention Hives and people will think about ladders immediately. 

[sisco]

[Sorcha17]

Franz Ferdinand for the Other opener I reckon.

[zahidf]

Eagles Of Death Metal, the band confirm new UK live dates for July,

London O2 Forum Kentish Town, 04 July
Sheffield The Leadmill, 05

Someone a while ago passed on to me that Paul Weller was in the mix for Glasto. I didn’t share it because he didn’t have any dates at the time or anything. You may have noticed he featured in a few of my early lineup posters.

Just seen he’s announced shows the week before.

Shame that he's been booked for me. His recent comments about Robert Smith were unacceptable imo.

Beady eye were absolutely terrible but the hives made up for the early start. Think we could see them this year as touring with arctic monkeys

Can’t imagine he’ll get a sub slot again like he did in ‘15 at The Who’s request, but third down Pyramid or subbing Other maybe?

Acoustic is where he belongs

[kingbadger]

Paul Weller in the Legend slot to round off the least diverse top 4 in years?

I know you're being derogatory but my first thought was whether he would do a stripped back set headlining in there.

Might be too busy though.

This would be sublime, more of this such chat
