Superscally Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Actually would be just my clashy luck for Nick Cave to headline Other instead of LC and for Amyl to be on the Park... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraybentos1 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago 1 minute ago, foolee said: Unless 1975 aren’t actually doing it. By all accounts they are though. Not kept up as much but last I saw was they are meant to be Friday with Charli on the other on the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamm Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago My selfish preference would be Charli v 1975 and Neil Young v Loyle If it is indeed 1975 v Loyle then depending on who else is to come, I’d do Amyl or SE corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago Reckon Amyl aren't headlining a stage. Probably a teatime Other option or Woodsies sub or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance they put on Charli and 1975 on the same night / same time. 1975 drummer and her are dating - I'm sure they'll want to support each other.

Agree - they would be a small park headliner and quite random. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johndenis Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago 17 hours ago, CaledonianGonzo said: No - but it was prior to the quadruple-whammy of his Autobiography, the Rocket Man film, his emergence as a chart contender and the announcement of the farewell tour. About the time his only gigs seemed to be in odd rural football stadiums. As ever, impressed by your insight. Very fair points. I read the autobiography last year, good laugh. And yes - I saw him in Falkirk Stadium in 2014, which was a bit random I admit, it seems to be a strategy I don't understand (the Killers copied it recently?) 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great illustration of how the demographic has changed. Anyway good on your mate, he made the right move Funny you should say ghost town, because he said he wandered to a stage where Neville Staple was playing and apparently there was barely anyone watching.

Someoni Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago 16 minutes ago, CaledonianGonzo said: Except expectation is he'll be on on the Saturday and his cowd will be fine. Personally I hope he's on the Sunday. While he is a legend he's not got much under 40 appeal and the Pyramid headliner on Saturday usually caters for someone that transcends all ages. Or maybe that's my take on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's less consistent than you might think. Only two years since GnR did the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure - I understand that there's info for both nights. I just don't think the fact she's married to the 1975's drummer means they can't clash. If anything it could make a clash more likely.

Spindles Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Yeah. I enjoy both acts, and it felt to me like Fontaines had more momentum at the time of the festival. We had a few songs from the upcoming album that illustrated that they were a band still very much on the up, their earlier albums all having done well. As for Charli and her fella playing the same night, I'm with Calgon on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wro_lap Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago (edited) I'm still SO skeptical about the Loyle Carner headlining Other info. Obviously there's the fact he'd be a very small headliner for the stage, but I can't get past the fact he isn't touring this year. I know Little Simz did it, but....
