Surely Stereophonics would snap their hand off for the sub slot in 2024?..

The fact they're on a stadium run next summer and have top spot at Isle of Wight makes me think they would possibly pass on it.

 

A marquee "special guests" tag and a longer sub set - seventy-five rather than an hour - could persuade otherwise.

They have clearly not been able to agree a slot with the fest for at least a decade

Happy about this!

Bit of a guff that from Big Nile, but the places are slowly falling into place.

 

For pure seventies vibes, who slots between Chic and Stevie Wonder though?

Asked this question in the thread talking about the announcement but I'm still not sure. Doubt they would get another veteran act e.g. Madness, Tears for Fears, Duran Duran because that rarely happens. Pulp could be a great crowd pleaser out of all the potential names in the sub pool, also thought Paramore for a newer act but they'll probably sub The 1975 if anything.

Not heard anything. I'm not sure I'm too bothered with Jimi not doing the gigs.

 

Completely get the reasoning, but it would feel odd watching them without him

I know what u mean, I would definitely still be there though. Some guy on fb saw them last night and met them after. Says he has some big news about next year which he is sworn to secrecy on. Hoping it's glasto obviously 😁

Already made so many new changes to my predictions in just 2 days, will hold off on uploading my new one for now but here are the updates (for now...):

 

- Stevie out, Neil in Saturday and O-Rod on Sunday

- Chappell back in subbing O-Rod

- Maccabees headlining Park now, St. Vincent Woodsies headliner

- KOL secret set on Sunday Woodsies 

- Madness daytime Pyramid slot

- Genuinely considering putting one of Phonics/Jack White/Pulp as sub for Neil

- Debating on putting RTJ as West Holts headliner

- Still trying to find options to place artists like Weezer, Nick Cave (still unsure about the Loyle Carner Other headliner chat), VW, Becky Hill, Maggie Rogers, a younger pop act on Other like Tate McRae or Gracie Abrams etc.

- Unsure if Raye will still sub this year or be back prominently after the fallow

 

I know my prediction will inevitably be still too stacked but always fun to see how things are shaping up!
