  1. A couple of years ago when they headlined acoustic on the Friday night. I wasn't there but I remember it being mentioned that they'd gotten him on stage and so it was another one ticked off. On that front though I think it would be nice if Showhawk Duo got a spot on the acoustic stage as well. They get so busy on a Thursday now that they would probably be a great opening act for the stage one day.
  2. He made an appearance with Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott so that's probably ticked that one off. For Acoustic Stage I'd love to see them do a tribute to Sinead O Connor and Shane McGowan The Staves, Grace Petrie and Katherine Priddy could be a candidate for either stage. Withered Hand with Kathryn Williams might be a possibility as well. They have an album out and are touring in May.
  3. The Farm had self confirmed so I would assume they are on one of these stages
  4. They are not prioritising female acts encouraging equality is not prioritising! The more women have a platform in the business, the more producers, the more bookers then the less chance that men get away with that behaviour.
  5. For anyone who thinks women have an entirely equal chance in the music industry and that the hard work is over please read this article and if you still feel the same after reading it then nothing I could say would ever change your mind! https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/misogyny-music-industry-rina-sawayama-self-esteem-interview-b2508677.html
  6. I'd hope so as I wouldn't want to see any of those and they have all played before. I also think Pulp would for me be better than any of those so on that basis maybe I should change my answer but that's the thing music is subjective. People are allowed different views on it.
  7. That was the one i could remember and the one that Wikipedia got right. It removed their headline appearance in 98 in favour of Bob Dylan it seems.
  8. Bad wikipedia - anybody got edit rights on Wikipedia???
  9. That's where we might disagree I don't think it always has to be someone bigger. I'd like them to get back to where they were in the 90's of one older act and 2 contemporary acts. I actually think the balance this year is better and should be what they strive for. Don't et me wrong if there's a year when you get a chance at an all-timer go for them but I think we have been spoilt by those in recent years and need to get back to adjusting our expectations. I'd rather a bill with depth rather than just brilliant at the top.
  10. Not on the Pyramid which is headliner in my view. I'm guessing they must have been Other Stage Headliner in 1998.

    Weather v Line up

    I think I covered every descriptive word available for mud that year!!
  12. That's their one and only headline slot. They played the festival again but not as headliners.
  13. My personal view is I think they would do a cracking job. Jarvis is a great showman. I think he has the charisma to carry it off which not all front people do. I think he could even get a lot of people who aren't big fans and make big fans of them but is that what a festival of contemporary performing arts should be doing reaching for an act that haven't made new material in 20+ years to have as their headliners. If it was a special back for one year only then maybe you get away with it because it is more special but when they are in the second or third year of comeback gigs it's harder to justify.
  14. TBF top 40 classes as a hit and the festival is in the UK. I'd have picked up on the fact that they've only headlined once as far as I can recall instead.
  15. Strange my niece is 16 and not because of family has actually independently sort of found Pulp and she likes them and knows more than Common People. I wonder if the one hit wonder is actually more common in slightly older people who were never into them. Even the smallest amount of investigation would show they have plenty more in their locker.
