Other Stage Headliner / Pyramid Sub Headliners

[Ben7amin_]

Starting a thread as the pool seems to be massive - doing both in one as some acts could fit in either slot. 

 

Some of the names mentioned here so far

 

Chase & Status, BICEP (live), Prodigy, Nick Cave ATBS, Charli XCX, Biffy Clyro, The XX, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Wolf Alice, Pulp, Jack White, Childish Gambino, Paramore, Nine Inch Nails) 

 

have so far been mentioned

[Ben7amin_]

Exhibit A!   Chase & Status tour dates - Id like to think they would only be suitable for the Other Headline - But I would have said the same about LCS Soundsystem.

Think if I had to categorise them at the minute, here’s how I’d see it:

 

Pyramid subs - The XX, Chappell Roan, Sabrina Carpenter, Pulp

 

Other headliners - Chase & Status, BICEP, The Prodigy, Nick Cave & TBS, Charli xcx, Wolf Alice, Nine Inch Nails

 

Suitable for either - Biffy Clyro, Jack White, Childish Gambino, Paramore

 

I also saw someone’s clashfinder who suggested the three sub headliners as Megan Thee Stallion/Pet Shop Boys/Nile Rodgers & Chic but I suspect the latter as West Holts headliners as a more suitable option.

So between us we have listed 19 acts!   to start this thread -  Id be willing to be at least one of the eventual acts is one that at this point has not been mentioned

I reckon they could fit that LCD slot on Friday under Olivia and it would go down well.

Almost certainly, looking back at the stage predictions thread for this year’s festival from this time last year and seeing names such as:

 

Pyramid subs - Kasabian, Jorja Smith, Aerosmith, Sam Smith, J Hus, Alicia Keys, O-Rod, Stereophonics

 

Other headliners - Massive Attack, The Prodigy, Wolf Alice, Chems 

 

Both - Pulp, Doja Cat

 

So there will definitely be some names in the mix we haven’t considered yet!

No

 

They need to be headlining whether it be The Other or WH

[dan05delaney]

Yungblud was approached and offered one of those two slots, I think they were going to take a pyramid sub

No chance are they headlining WH. I do agree with the extra darkness helping but I've never seen a band sell out MK Bowl, do a huge arena tour and then only play the Other stage.

They must be a lot bigger than when they headlined WH then.

 

Mind you it was a while back 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hitlist is Nick Cave, NIN or Charli. Or even Chappell.

 

The reality is strap in for Biffy Clyro again.

Yep, they've a new album out at the back end of the year which his label and management will be pushing, the festival are then willing to take that punt and within the industry there's a feeling that they could be a future festival headliner, have a world arena tour planned for 2025

I'd rather the latter anyway lol

This would be decent.

[Joey Peeps]

I assumed Bicep were nailed on for the Other Stage after this year and their 'what next Glastonbury?' post. Thought Charli too but she's only got bigger in the interim so sub on the big one sounds about right. Pulp I have given up trying to predict anything. Could Fontaines be back? Only played two songs from the new record this year so would have enough to differentiate.

[A Particular Grey Chihuahu]

The Offspring are bringing new stuff out. Would they be a good fit for Other Stage Headliner?

[Acid_Haze]

I do think Vampire Weekend are a possibility too

[plaskins]

Franz Ferdinand will be about too. Not sure they would be considered for these slots these days??

Could see them subbing it a la Smashing Pumpkins/Pixies

Difficult to conceive of a booking that would d@b down harder than Yungblud

The SZA of Jake Buggs 

[CaledonianGonzo]

f**k. 

 

Fits too well to be duff info.

[UncleJunior]

Bugg had far more of a fan base at Glasto than Yungblud does.

I think that's true when he was in the ascent (seem to recall he filled the Pyramid Field in 2013?) - but by the year he headlined the JPT I don't think there were many people buying what he was selling.

I'm always up for Nick Cave at Glasto. Another appearance seems long overdue 😊
