It's 6 months out from the festival. Just cause The 1975 aren't about right this minute doesn't mean they won't be by the summer. I feel like it is better when Glasto gets bands on the start of a fresh ear than the end of an old one personally.

 

Anyway with the rumoured subs it is already clear the Pyramid will be vastly stronger than last year. And that's before you even consider the newest chat of Sabrina Carpenter being in talks.

What are the rumoured subs?

Each to their own and all that but I watched PJ Harvey, LCD and Little Simz and didn't see any of the pyramid headliners. I was really happy with the subs last year.

Saw the LCD set on TV and it’s such a shame they didn’t have longer.

 

Really they’re a their own show or headline act, let them really dive into the more marauding songs. They were great at APE.

 

40-60 minutes doesn’t do them justice.

Actually, an hour in the sunset was about the right amount of Nancy Wang and the lads

I consider myself young and I'd love to see Pulp at Glasto, even though I saw them a few months ago. 

 

Anyway, I understand that booking a lineup the size of Glastonbury is complex and there are many factors to consider. But for me, it's rare and quite unusual that there are subs like Chappell who could draw a bigger crowd than a hideliner like the 1975. But maybe I'm underestimating them.

 

I don’t like The 1975 and won’t be watching but they’ll get a big crowd for sure

[MEGABOWL]

I know it goes against current info but Rodrigo Sunday, meaning a pretty-much-unheard-of 3 nights on the bounce, and the Neiler on Saturday is odd scheduling. Might be down to Youngs schedule elsewhere but I wouldn’t be surprised to see them the other way round.

Agree, he’s a late afternoon/early evening act

3 in favour, 3 not in favour - I guess that's even?

Matt Healy does something misogynistic / racist - some other from of ist -> 1975 get pulled and replaced with Muse.

 

In two minds. Love Muse, would definitely be there with bells on but have seen them on the Pyramid already and a handful of other times.

 

I want a night away from the Pyramid though!

Seem to remember the first I heard of The 1975 was opening for Muse at the Arsenal FC stadium in 2013, albeit on the second night whereas I went to see Bastille on night one instead.

 

I was under the assumption Muse will turn up somewhere else in the UK tbh. If less sure as to what given many of the places I thought they might surface have released line-ups without them on.

They had 75 minutes on the bill, but wish it had been 75 hours. They were so good. Actually the only act I saw on the Pyramid this year other than Femi Kuti. So much amazing stuff going on across all the other stages throughout the fest though, so didn’t feel like minimal Pyramid impacted my fest.

yeah from what I saw on tv the LCD Soundsystem was the one I really wished I was there for.

theres always a new headliner combo that everybody is 100% confident on.

Dunno if anyone saw the size of the crowd Chappell got at Austin City Limits the other day but it reinforced that if they have secured her followed by O Rod on the Sunday then it is absolutely huge. Some years the stars just align I guess. 

 

 things change so fast these days- If you'd said 12-18 months ago that Sabrina, Chappell and Charli XCX would be some of the bigggest names they could book, people would think you're mad. Who gives a f**k if Neil young gets a medium sized crowds if you have other bookings like that. Plus if Michael wants him headlining thats as good a reason as any.

 

you mean Lolla. Acl is only 80,000 people. Lolla is 120,000. Ive been in that field when it was packed for Radiohead in 2008 at their essential peak for arguments sake. The Chappell crowd was larger.

Dont worry. She will teach it at the set. Youll get a chance to warm up before youre hot to go.

Chappell on Sunday subbing O Rod then also sure Paramore have been mentioned. Sabrina in talks apparently and you would assume she would sub if she played.

 

Feels odd to me that Chappell and Sabrina would headline Primavera and sub at Glasto.  Not impossible, but odd.  

[FKA SOSOTWS]

That Chappell set at Lolla was during the afternoon with no proper clashes, so it was easier to get that big of a crowd. Put her in an evening slot at Glasto and the crowds will be more dispersed.

Primavera’s headliners tend to vary in size - sometimes it’s stuff like Radiohead, AM, Kendrick, Blur that would outright headline any festival here, but sometimes it’s slightly smaller stuff that could sub or even headline the Other Stage. This year’s three fall to the lower bracket imo, just about. 

 

Although yeah, if Glastonbury have actually managed to pull all those off then that’s mighty impressive.

[Olshansky]

I always have to take into consideration the differences between the UK and here in the US.  for example, the low turnout for SZA wouldn't have happened in the states - but clearly in the UK she just hasnt reached the same level. I'm wondering if the same is true for Chappell. She's the biggest of the big here in the states - can't go anywhere without hearing her music; definitely the "it girl" right now and that hasn't waned since the summer.  In my head it has to be the same in the UK but maybe it isn't. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

She's not played any big shows here yet, but the demand for the small tour she did do was enormous.

 

Plus of course she's headlining Reading.

I'm assuming she'll have more for her set than Hozier afterwards.
