Really want this to happen as it’d be a fun way to start the weekend. I assume they still play all the bangers of old…

Having seen them a few times they play Buck Rodgers, JTWIF & Just a day every gig.

They 100% will also drop in the lead singles for some of there mediocre more recent albums. Yet even on their own tours these songs are poorly received. 

As a band they seem very irritable about people not listening as much to more recent stuff but as a fan of theres they perhaps need a reality check that the reason people are not listening to those albums is that they are just not very good. 

Mind you......   sometimes Glastonbury brings something different out of acts and they put there best possible self out there. 

The Manics also insist on the a similar thing to Feeder however at Glastonbury last year they disregarded the last 10-15 years of recording and just did the songs people want to hear.

Having lambasted some acts the other day for their attitude, have heard the Feeder pair have a pretty good reputation, so that is an interesting thing.

This support slot from last year highlights the point though. Needs a little more hit ratio, though that being said, they are nominally touring said record.

This show from the greatest hits tour was bloody terrific.

That last set list has me convinced, let them headline (Avalon)

Surely in the Year of our Lord 2024, Elbow will not get a sub slot? R&L basically have Lana Del Rey subbing, would be a bit of a clanger if Glasto get Elbow.

LDR is a headliner... she doesn't do subbing.  She's gets very upset when she's not on the top line. 

And at least Elbow turn up on time and play their full set.

Lana Del Rey only catches headline spots, indeed. It's why she wears masks made of mesh netting during pandemics.

(She had an excuse, but that's what it sounded like - an excuse.)

Lana in shambles rn

I don't think she will due to contractual matters - and the fact that without a good reason, it's clearly just pettiness - but did wonder if she might bounce.

Fortunately, The 1975 will go just as well into Fred Again..

Yeah that's a cracker. 

For me given as open act they would get about 10 songs I'd love this

1 - Feeling A Moment

2 - Insomnia

3 - Just The Way I'm Feeling

4 - Yesterday Went Too Soon

5 - High

6 -  We Can't Rewind

7 - Comfort In Sound 

8 - Buck Rodgers

9 - Come Back Around

10 - Just A Day

 

Fully aware it cuts out some albums out and it was painfull to not fit Pushing The Senses in but hey it's a fantasy pick. 

Silent Cry & Generation Freakshow have some good moments but I just don't feel even the best bits of those albums hold up to the first 5 albums

Add Seven Days in the Sun to this and we’re on to a winner. What a tune.

Honestly, if she's so bothered about where she plays on a lineup, I would recommend that she checks where she's going to play on the lineup before agreeing to the booking...

I do wonder how much money is done to sway her. The R+L case was at least sold as a headline job, but no idea how she thought she was outright headlining Glastonbury, as it seemed to be.

Let's go fantasy!

1 Feeling a Moment
2 Shatter
3 Pushing the Senses
4 Come Back Around
5 Insomnia
6 Comfort in Sound
7 Just the Way I'm Feeling
8 Seven Days in the Sun
9 Borders
10 High
11 Buck Rogers
12 Just a Day

Borders is a criminally underrated late-era slice of power pop.

Interesting. I only know those 4 tracks but wasn't sure if that was enough to go on for booking a ticket to their upcoming show at Oxford O2.

Rock solid setlist that, could maybe tweak the order but it would go down a storm. Have Feeder played since 2003?

Shatter, what a belter. Haven't heard that one for a good long while.

Think they've played it every time I've seen 'em. That chorus just descends like a vulture, absolutely superb.

Other headliner?

Don't think so

Their sub spot in 2019 was already a push

WH / Other sub / 3rd pyramid is where they should be really

---

Lana's billing at Reading is as a 'headliner' so its not really subbing even though it is to an extent.

She'll have been paid a lot better than glasto!

Hold on a minute here...

Surely we're not talking Vampire Weekend for WH?

Insanity!

My favourite kind of headline billing. And yeah, I imagine she's probably top dollar, or second behind Blink-182 for the festivals.

Paulo nutini is playing Reading 18th June 

[4AssedMonkey]

Would be well up for Feeder at G.  Saw them at Kendal in 2017 and again when they toured in 2018 and they were excellent both times.

[NorthernSoul52]

Where would Nutini go this time?
