I beleive they are big enough to headline the pyramid...

but I would accept they dont have a huge fanbase here, neither did Jay-Z.

I think they should take a punt at it.....

Also think Wide Spread Panic, are worthy of an other stage slot.

To be honest don't think they have the fanbase over here to headline pyramid, nor possibly the tunes (haven't listened to them much in ages mind).

Park headliner with just Dave and Tim a la Luther College would be pretty nice though.

Another good one would be Phish. Given that they like to do multiple sets at festivals, They could do one in the daytime at Pyramid, a sunset one at Jazzworld and possibly an acoustic one in the avalon stage. That would make my life if they did that. I would see every single set they did.

Jay-Z had a huge fanbase here. He was one of the biggest selling hip hop artists ever. His Glasto performance just helped him reach a commercial crowd, but he was selling out arenas, countless times before and places like R.A.H.

Agree with Dave Matthews Band entirely. Would love to see them on the Pyramid at some point. i reckon John Mayer deserves another crack too tbh. I thought he had a rough ride last time - the crowd was tiny and he was on the Pyramid. A sunset slot for him would be awesome - he's got the tunes for it too!

Not sure they are known well enough over here to headline the pyramid, but they could definitely pull a good crowd and would quickly have the crowd bouncing.
They have an enormous catalogue of tunes and given that they are a bunch of stoners themselves could easily adapt their act to suit the crowd
Personally I'd prefer to see them somewhere like JazzWorld (sorry, West Holts - pft) or The Park, both of which they could headline with no problems.

Mayer would be great, could finally cement the fact that he is actually a bloody good blues guitarist.

Mayer would suit JazzWorld Headliner.

I am thinking, EE, will take a risk every 3 years. with a somewhat unknown american legend.... Jay-Z we knew f**k all about in fairness....DMB would take pyramid by storm...The Park Idea, would have me camped at the park all day to see it.

[fantomas]

could definitely other stage headline.

too big for the park certainly.  not popular in this country enough to be pyramid headliners though.
