@kingcrawler@matt42 I saw them in 2017 too, I was in bits after a very busy and eventful Friday night.  The crowd was really small, surprisingly so.  Think they were up against Foo Fighters but you wouldn't expect a huge amount of crossover.  London Grammar and then Metronomy filled the tent the night after, each had at least double the crowd.  Think Phoenix's placing as a "headliner" on the Primavera poster is due to Yeah Yeah Yeahs previously being promoted to "headliner" to pad out that particular day's line up.  Meaning Phoenix couldn't then be added without being a "headliner" too.

Think they were against Sheeran, I wanted to see them but Mrs J put her foot down for Earnest Ed.

I’ve heard nothing but bad things about Frank Ocean live from people who’ve actually managed to see him for what it’s worth. Not sure he’s really worth all the hype he generates

Saw him at Lovebox and I thought it was absolutely fantastic. But I was also absolutely not sober and with a girl I'd just started seeing, so it was big hazy beautiful Summer evening vibes.

I can see why he didn't go down well with everyone, and I struggle to see him at Glasto. He'd be a dream Pyramid sub, but not a great Glasto headliner IMO - unless he played more old stuff, brought guests out etc. But that aint really Franks style I guess.  

(I'd give a kidney to see him do Nostalgia, Ultra in full one day but it will never happen).

Didn’t they headline Coachella the same year?

I think that was a few years before, and I'm pretty sure they were stepping in for someone. 

 
Phoenix headlined Coachella in 2013 and did John Peel the same year. And the 2017 set is the forgotten one cause it was Sunday.

2017 was deffo the Saturday as I was at that set rather than Foos and was at Justice rather than Ed on the Sunday.

[the wonderwhy]

Yeah I was on about 2017. Had no idea they did it 2013- those are ancient times now!

Nick Cave added a show in Cologne on Monday after Glasto. So, currently scheduled to play on Glasto-Thursday in Prague and free on the three main nights.

Maybe the replacement on Saturday for Noel as Pyramid Sub?

Now a show in Belgium was added on Saturday, so most probably no Nick Cave at Glast.

Cave was always a doubt with those dates, that Saturday date ends all debate.

[Matt42]

So we are back to 0 potential subs… hmmmmmmmmm

I think he’s highly doubtful.

Prague - Belgium - Germany with a jaunt back to Glasto squeezed into one of those rest says?

Not for me Clive.

Headlining TW Classic is huge by the way. That's a British Summer Time-like capacity. That show will be epic.

Yeah, McCartney was planned to play for 2,5h with The Killers playing a 1h warming-up for him. 

Just goes to show just how popular Nick Cave is in Belgium. I do think he's a big contender for BST Hyde Park now.

He may be big in Belgium but he struggled to sell tickets for the now-cancelled UK arena tour

I saw Editors technically headline Sziget (followed by Guetta closing show), they got biggest reception of weekend. Bigger than Blur a few nights before!

Can someone remind me when the next festival lineup announcement is expected? Is it RW....?
