They're supporting RHCP on tour so maybe they're not a "headline or nothing" band anymore. The money, I imagine, would still be a major sticking point however.

Big fan of these!

I'm with you. Would love them to go further in this direction.

This. Really hope we don't just lose those acts altogether.

Wrong end of summer for The Walkmen. 3 midweek London dates is really not what I was hoping for.

Still holding out hope for Bon Iver, either here or pyramid sub...

Thank you. Missed out and ended up ordering one from Amazon Japan as it was the only place that had any left, but this will save me a chunk of cash.

AM - 100% - Favourite band. Literally nowhere in the world I would rather be on that night than watching them on the pyramid. GNR - 60% - Not a massive fan by any means but I like the classics. Would never pay the £100+ it would cost to see them at their own show so this will probably be my only chance. Will see them if there's not a band I love playing somewhere else, and I'm sure I'll have a good time. Elton - 90% - Pretty similar to GNR for me, not a huge fan but like the classics. It being his last ever UK show means it would take something pretty special elsewhere to pull me away. Plus my Dad is a big fan.

Haha, I was one of those 10 as well!

I arrived for that just as Ezra was finishing so got stuck by the toilets (sunday 🤢) at the entry to the field for 10-15 minutes waiting for everyone to clear out so I could get in for Clairo. Mad how empty it was but she did clash with the legend which is always a death slot.

The thing with Foos is they already did their big career-spanning greatest hits set and there's only been 2 festivals since then. The only difference now would be they'd obviously be without Taylor, who was a massive part of the band. Not saying it can never happen but feels far too soon.

Idles?

Throw Biffy, LCD & Royal Blood into that group too, plus alt-J headlined Other last time they played although personally I'd be surprised if they were booked at that level this year. Kasabian are difficult to place too nowadays having previously headlined but obviously a lot has happened since then. Also think Florence would be headline or nothing. Would be an incredibly strong lineup if it happened though!

Too early for them to return after playing 2019?
