Bet she's cacking it! She always looks nervous performing to me, maybe its just her style! Amazing voice, can't wait to see her pull it off!

Never understand why they put these sort of acts on the Pyramid Stage. Its essentially a stadium sized slot.

[coma girl]

Really looking forward to seeing her but I don't think it's the best slot for her

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

She was incredible on the Park last year, but the fact it was the park might have dramatically influenced that. Really looking forward to it.

She should be good. I hope she doesn't get swollowed up on that stage a bit like the fleet foxes did.

I know you're not a fan anyway, but Fleet Foxes looked like rabbits in the headlights in their slot in 2009

Agree 100% with this.

Stick her on the Acoustic and at least give her a fighting chance at a crowd.  She is far too tedious for the Sunday afternoon fun slot.

I have mixed feelings here. I love her music and she was fantastic last year on the Park Stage but later saw her at Latitude on the main stage there and it seemed too much, still sounded good but it seemed to over awe her. Hoping she has learnt over last year and will play a blinding set!

What if she brings the Mumfords along for a knees up?

Whos to say it'll just be her?

[ethereal]

Wrong stage would agree
She deserves better than a Pyramid Stage slot I think

Yeah that sort of tuneage needs to be on a smaller stage/tent.

IMO, Fleet Foxes are a very weak band, and putting them on the Pyramid was a bit misplaced. Felt bad for them.

all this talk of laura marlings slot, "pulling it off", "knees up", getting "swallowed up" has given me a right old engorged member. Anyone else?

If I can be frank, I'd lick her bum clean

I'm also concerned that this may be a problem for the Low Anthem

I'm a big fan but didn't feel the Park gig last year.  I thought it was the ideal stage and time for her and expected it to send shivers down my spine, but in the end I thought it was a bit flat.  That said, I was hungover/sunburnt/dehydrated and a bit fried from too many stimulants, so it could have been my frame of mind.

Completely agree that the daytime on the Pyramid stage isn't the write setting for her music.  Park/Avalon/Acoustic would suit much better.

I was at the Fleet Foxes in 2009 and agree with robith, they were like rabbits in the headlights. I had convinced the wife and kids it was a must see that year and I've never lived it down since!  

I fear for her  

Actually similarly fear for the Low Anthem also on Sunday........it could be a painful couple of hours!

I've been waiting ages to see Low Anthem but I don't think it's going to be as good as it would have been in a tent. After listening to their album today and both of Laura's I'm quite concerned that the music is going to get 'lost' on a stage that big  

[Yesiamaduck]

I'm also curious how Tame Impala handle pyramid stage duty as well! Was shocked to see that band nab a slot on that stage,  though I'm sure their music is more suited then Marling and Low Anthem.

Basically the Pyramid is a turd stage for everything but stadium-sized headliners, Sunday legends with mass appeal and at a push a decent sub-headliner.

Baffling to have Laura Marling and The Low Anthem on there.

At least Tame Impala and TLA have slots elsewhere.

Yeah, The Low Anthem playing there is bizarre too

Martha Wainwright had be come something of a Glastonbury stalwart till she played the Pyramid Stage, unsurprisingly she hasn't returned since
