If it means Pulp are 3rd down and we can do.....

Pulp > Fred Again > Hot Chip then I'm all for it

Oh my God, what a run. Would be unbelievable!

But if Lil Nas is supposedly nailed on to be the Elton sub and Lizzo Guns and Roses why would Royal Blood not be featured there? 

This is a great theory and I'm surprised no one said it before. Maybe they did...

But you're right, the other subs are up the top with the Other headliners. The only group not there who is heavily expected is QOTSA. Pulp could easily sub AM. Don't think Jarvis has got that much of an ego to care if he's subbing.

Albeit, I'd take third down or a secret set somewhere so I can do the Pulp>Fred>Hot Chip run.

Two full-set rehersals of the summer Pulp set at Brid Spa today. They've been there for 3 days working on the whole stage set-up, before gig No. 1 on Friday and shipping it all out again.

Ok, so there's no solid info at all... but purely rumour-wise with Pulp we're possibly looking at a Friday Pyramid sub... which would be an awkward clash with the equally rumoured Sparks Friday Park sub slot!

Obviously we don't know what day Sparks are (unlikely Sunday at they are playing in New York on Tues 27th) but Friday has long been rumoured for them, with predicted Park sub slot, given the poster.  And moreover, don't know at all if Pulp are even playing (although that would make Nick Banks a rather cruel wind-up merchant given his teaser tweets!). Feel that Sparks and Pulp are somewhat similar, so would be a shame if there's a clash... but also you'd think that the organisers wouldn't have them on at the same time anyway?  Anyone else bothered by a Pulp/Sparks clash?!

Anyway... things should become clear on Tuesday thankfully!

A Pulp/Sparks clash would be a disaster…not sure what I would do…please don’t make that so Festival Gods!

Royal Blood is smaller than any of the other non alphabetical names I guess.

Royal Blood aren't subbing. There's so little evidence to support it lmao

100% are subbing.

Been confirmed numerous times, a source I know is dead certain.

If they clashed... Looking at last year's schedule for Pyramid/Park slots etc... there'd be 15 minute overlap, plus a 30 minute walk between stages... so would catch last 15 mins of Sparks if I wanted to do both!

Honestly can't see a Pulp/Sparks clash.  Maybe Sparks are on Saturday? Maybe Sparks aren't even subbing?  Maybe Pulp won't be there at all anyway?!  Argh... my head..!!! 😝

They've done the full tour set. Trying to get a set list.

Hate to say this... but prefer to be surprised by setlists etc!  Could setlist spoilers go in another (clearly labelled) thread? Currently avoiding the Blur thread for this reason - LOL!

Massively bothered by it, Sparks were a must see for me, but up against Pulp I'd be torn

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Tbh even if Royal Blood are subbing, the Friday options for subbing are far superior than Sat or Sun.

Royal Blood vs Fred vs Young Fathers. It trumps any other day. Sure, Sat has Lizzo who most ppl will prob be at on Saturday, but Friday is so much better overall.

On Pulp, I don't suppose anyone knows who's supporting them in Cardiff in July by any chance? Can't find any info

If I get sent it, I'm not going to post it in the thread itself.

Don’t want to be rude to any Royal Blood fans, but that is a properly disappointing booking to sub the Pyramid on a Friday night. 
 

Thank god for Young Fathers on West Holts.

How good would that be, have a whole bank holiday to go through the listings.

Emily did say the full line up would drop before the end up of May and I can't see it being announced on the weekend or Bank Holiday Monday so that leaves tomorrow, next Tuesday and Wednesday so a 1 in 3 chance... I'd say this could be it!

I can’t see the full line up dropping before we have a Block 9 poster drop. 

I hope I’m wrong of course.
