Memory Man

She tends to play finsbury park each year like four tet and sells it out she is massive. And yes its a firmly 20-30 demographic

Peggy is huge though. Like, enormous. And therefore basically too big for any dj stage, including levels and iicon, not that iicon would be interested.

An orbital saturday sub on park would be circa 9:15 - 10:15 and sunset is about 9:20. The last half of the set would basically be in darkness and it would certainly end in the dark in other words its absolutely fine

I doubt there were even drop outs. Just look at every other lineup in the festival industry this year. Also costs mean friends of the festival are now a necessity, whereas they used to be a nice to have

Soulwax / 2manydjs like money and as a result they are not glastonbury regulars, sadly i suspect their glasto days are behind them and that a repeat of despacio is sadly extremely unlikely In an era where williams green has been cut, getting something like despacio is unrealistic

Yep lol how they can even begin to play without him is a bit pathetic really

People also forget this forum age wise skews a lot older in age range than the average attendee nobody under 30 would give the slightest care about pulp. Much like nobody under 35 will care about faithless (i made that point in the other thread)

Also i refute that idles and lcd are not small for their slots i was at lcd other headliner in 2016 and it was quiet idles you can see anywhere and have many unsold dates. and are also headlining the 12k capacity end of the road this year lcd are only big due to scarcity value ie they rarely play the UK and are doing just 2 non glasto shows this year. Comparing those to pulp they are much smaller, so you may think pulp deserve to headline but i would only place pulp at other headliner or pyramid sub still, despite that.

Idles sell out manchester arena? No the point was: pulp not right for pyramid headliner but possibly too big for sub or other headliner or, they look much bigger than this years pyramid sub or other headliners but wouldnt usually as this years lineup is quite weak a reunion for reunions sake is for money. They have no new music so what else is it for? They reunited in the early 2010s too. no one went to see blur for their new album

Chances are low, for me. They just need to be able to close the area when it gets too busy but you cant really do that on glade. there is no basis in fact that there will be “nothing else on” as we have no idea what else is on. it wont be as tragic as example in my opinion.

Most importantly they have no new music bar like 1 or 2 songs? the cure are in a different class for me (wheyy) End of the day the blur and pulp reunions are cash grabs and that doesnt really fit with playing glasto. In a sad way its way down the pecking order for both. also they both already have legendary headline sets under their belts they may not wish to taint and im happy with that. I dont see pulp as a headliner as no new music and its just a reunion for the sake of it so they dont deserve a headline slot. pyramid sub or other headliner is where i would place them. They wouldnt look out of place there in a normal year but compared to this years pyramid subs and other headliners they would look huge, admittedly. End of the day there would be a lot less moaning about the lineup if theyd got pulp in a pyramid sub or other headline slot and stevie nicks instead of shania. It would look much stronger. idles and LCD are barely bigger than ally pally in london and would barely do over 5k outside london. Pulp much bigger than them but compared to say chemical brothers, a similar size. (A regular other headliner)

No

This is also applicable to just about any really busy set. As long as you are in the area well in advance you tend not to have issues. people turn up to something 5-10 mins before and then moan….

Still this and still my opinion be clear about what’s on offer and it wont be dangerous. It will still be busy but with plenty other options it would be ok and not as daft as example. id be elsewhere in any event

Could be either! But i reckon the later date as a guess

21 April

I still think in 2023/24 that example is / was bigger than faithless without their iconic front man think a lot of you are denying the fact that nobody young will care at all

In reality the festival have moved the williams green thursday problem elsewhere. It can’t be rectified without opening more stages but thats unlikely given licencing

This has got glade written all over it regardless of that. Pretty unlikely to be on levels unless theyre chaging the stage setup significantly and not at all an iicon booking

I think this forum might be over egging the popularity of a maxi jazz less faithless amongst anyone under the age of 35. it will surely be in effect a “soundsystem” style thing which is a glorifed dj set with vocals and visuals. Not denying it will be busy but i dont know if worse than example who appeals to a much younger audience and has actually charted multiple times in the last 20 years, unlike faithless

Yep, would be good to get involved! Have a group of 4 to get and willing to help

If a commercial festival in july hasnt announced by now having not sold out in advance then surely its cancelled? it would need to be this week at the absolute latest

Would be better than pretty much any other touted headliner so far imo, but she isnt really a very green man booking so would say probably not. she literally never misses though live and is one of the last truly great living legends that arent too big for something like green man.

Reading and leeds have corporate money and desperately need to sell tickets. glasto is held together with rubber bands and sells out in 5 seconds not exactly a surprise 😂

Pretty good prediction i would not buy a ticket for this so hope its quite different, but I think youre in the right area. (fat dog wont be back for a third year on the spin)
