2025 Stage Predictions

[NorthernSoul52]

Deftones into Basement Jaxx might be the most insane thing I've seen on here, and I have seen some insane things. Props to you!

[mufcok]

What's the state of play with The Chemical Brothers? Feels like an age since they played a proper live set, but I guess that's cause of the two years off - there's actually been 3 festivals since they last did it, 4 if they don't do next year.

 

Despite seeing them play the Other Stage three times, I'd happily go back in for a fourth helping.

I'd take them.

Would be barmy in a brilliant way, I'll give you that.

It's not bad by any means but I would be happy enough to miss for other options as most of my acts there are clashing anyway. Friday by far the most clash free.

[NorthernSoul52]

I'd be in two minds on The 1975 and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Two excellent live performers, but will admit it is inspired counter-programming.

I think your Pyramid subs and other stage headliners are probably spot on unless Yungblud takes one instead of Paramore, no idea if there was any legit info to either Yungblud or Paramore but Charli, Jack White, Biffy, Noah and Nick all make sense. Could also see them booking Chase & Status for Other after all the success they've had recently but R&L also makes sense. Highlighted what I'd see.

That Pyramid top three on the Friday would be incredible for our tastes. 

 

Sticking 75 minutes of Jack White’s indulgent noodling inbetween Scissor Sisters and Sam Fender would be very funny, too. Let’s do it.

Jack White can noodle for seventy minutes, but as long as he plays you-know-what, it will be hailed as an all-timer set by the dads at home.

Just stumbled upon her new interview with Zane Lowe and thinking how fun of a set Gwen Stefani would bring to the Pyramid mid-afternoon. Having a rough time fitting her in any of my Pyramid line-ups (especially with The Script looking likely with the Pilton announcement) but would love to see it!

Gwen Stefani or even better No Doubt would be fantastic. Getting them heading

Think NME brought up in a recent interview if she’d play the farm with No Doubt and she seemed very keen on the idea so fingers crossed if they’re about! But either way getting Gwen either way would be great!
