Other possibles to me (admittedly not looking at touring schedules) are:
Beyonce
Miley Cyrus
Ariana Grande
Nicki Minaj
Lana Del Rey
Katy Perry
I'm going to say the only one of those that could feasibly top the Pyramid next year is Miley. I don't think Beyonce will ever do it again, but she is next closest.
I think you're unlikely to see any of the others at the festival again in any way.
Give me Miley though, please and thanks.

There are still good songs after All These Things - I love Midnight Show, for instance, and I know a lot of fans still have time for On Top. But I agree it's a very unbalanced album.
I remember seeing Muse play Origin in full at Reading in 2011, which has New Born, Bliss and Plug in Baby - the 3 big singles - in the first half, then the second got a bit more weird and out there, and those were the songs that I think a general festival audience would've gone "... what the hell is this?" at.
I completely agree. Hot Fuss is one of my all-time favourite albums... But imagine them getting past those first 5 tracks on the Pyramid on Friday afternoon. Once Andy, You're A Star begins, the crowd are just going to start talking amongst themselves, so I definitely think they'd have to mix the order up to keep the show engaging

Maybe bands should only play an album in full if the album is good all the way through.
Hot Fuss is a cover to cover great album, but it just would not hold the attention of a festival audience after the 5th song because those fist 5 songs are so f**king good.
It's possibly the strongest opening half of a debut album ever - Jenny Was a Friend of Mine, Mr Brightside, Smile Like You Mean It, Somebody Told Me, All These Things That I've Done.
You just can't follow that.

Hot Fuss in full as an opener - say, Other or even El Pointo - could be pretty cool, then as the album is 46 mins long, and adding a few mins for guitar changes and crowd banter, gives time for 3 other classics to wrap up (maybe Human, WYWY and one other)
Yeah, I think if they were to do it, they'd definitely have to mix the setlist up a little so they don't just play the album cover to cover. It would absolutely kill the crowd after 5 songs. I think they should also throw in a few other tracks and get maybe 75 minutes. I'd go with;
Somebody Told Me
Jenny Was a Friend of Mine
On Top
Human
Andy, You're A Star
Everything Will Be Alright
Smile Like You Mean It
Glamourous Indie Rock 'n' Roll
Midnight Show
Change Your Mind*
Read My Mind
All These Things That I've Done
When You Were Young
Mr Brightside*Maybe - it is on the US version of the album

I also think what you've posted .....however, I just posted this in the killers thread....https://www.nme.com/news/music/the-killers-brandon-flowers-interview-rebel-diamonds-tour-new-album-solo-band-hot-fuss-3560425
Maybe you could pop up at Glastonbury again?
“Yeah, sure!”
It looks more definite than it probably really is, but it has to at least be possible based on his answer.
I'd say it's now ever so slightly more than 50% likely that they turn up and do a Hot Fuss show.
This country gave The Killers their big break by falling in love with Hot Fuss. In that interview, Brandon said that they're doing Hot Fuss shows, and there is also a GSH in their touring schedule. What better place to play tribute to one of the most significant albums of the last 20 years in British guitar music (I know they're American, but they are adopted Brits) than at the biggest festival in The UK - Which also happens to be broadcast to every TV in the country.
This is a guaranteed way to make sure everybody has a chance to see the album played live.
I'd be well on board for this.

Where do we go if Madonna actually is rules out though? A one-off Harry Styles show? Maybe Adele? Or a run-of-the mill headliner like Foos, Muse or The Killers?
Edit: Just checked The Killers' tour dates, and despite being in the UK for about a month for 15 shows, they have an entire week off starting on the Thursday of Glasto. Potentially one to keep an eye on for an appearance.
I'd be excited because they're one of my favourite bands, but would also be pretty disappointed if they headlined just 3 festivals on from last time. Would be buzzed if they did a Churnups-type set to promote Rebel Diamonds though

Doja Cat is going to be over here around festival time - Is she ruled out as a headliner? Maybe just sub?

Muse had similar pricing for their O2 shows and didn’t sell either night out.
I got 4 free tickets for that gig through a friend in ticketing because they sold so badly
-
I've seen a lot of their regular and long-term fans bail out of this because of the price, and it looks like the pre-sale hasn't sold out for any date.
See how it goes on Friday, but I think they could have really dropped a bollock here.
-
One of my favourite bands of all time. Seen them about 20 times.
They can go f**k themselves for that price.

Even though the festival previously had a no football policy, they showed women's England games at the festival fairly recently so you'd imagine that the men's game will be shown in 2024
-
Went to see Soft Play (FKA Slaves) last night and they dedicated the entire gig to Shane
-
This is all fun and games, but don't forget just how much Spotify are currently f**king over smaller artists.

I won tickets for Muse, then yesterday won tickets for Jingle Bell Ball (I'm not going, but my mum is very excited!)
I realised that your weekly entries don't stack up higher than 12 plays, so now I'm going to make sure I don't let them go to waste.

My two pence on this one, but I don't think Dave will ever headline. He's undoubtedly big in the UK, but I don't think he is Glasto headline level. In my opinion, he's Other headline/Pyramid sub level, and I think he's going to end up in that Biffy Clyro sort of loop where he's going to hit a point where the headline slot just isn't going to happen, for whatever reason, but anything lower feels like a bit of a consolation prize.
I'm happy to be proved wrong on this one in the next few years, because we desperately need more headline-calibre acts to break through to get rid of the likes of Coldplay coming back every other year

Racism? Nice! If this was said about a black man the world goes mad!
I think that is the joke

Phones should abolutely not be banned at gigs, but I do think there needs to be more of a standard etiquette around it.
For example, don't lift it in the air and block people's view for extended amounts of time - A second here or there is fine, in my opinion. You should also keep your brightness down, to avoid blinking other people around you.

Theres no way IDLES are too big for Woodsies after Jamie T who did Finsbury this year did it
edit - also i think they'd rather go for 3rd or maybe even other sub rather than woodsies tbh
they'd do well in either
Didn't Idles support Jamie T at that Finsbury gig?

I haven’t thought about the distinction this way before but it makes sense!! Perhaps a few exceptions, I don’t think Kendrick or Billie are stadium level.. but as a general rule it works!!
It would depend on the stadium and sort of run they do - Bille or Kendrick could easily do a one night show at one of the big London stadiums, or do a run of park shows and smaller stadiums such as Plymouth, Doncaster, etc - Similar to The Killers/Arctic Monkeys' recent tours

This poster has Easy Life written on it. Didn't know the festival had moved abroad!

Too big.
No way. They're popular in a specific subculture. They've had just one of their 4 albums go to number 1, and the last only peaked at number 3.
They've only spent a total of 3 weeks in the top 100 singles charts.
Last time they played, they had a middle billing on Other, and haven't got much bigger since.
Other headline tends to be arena stature bands, whilst Pyramid is stadium and Woodsies/Park/West Holts tend to be bigger academy/Ally Pally sized acts.
Idles fit very well into just one of those categories, and it doesn't put them on Other.

Well yeah, but a couple of people here are adamant they’re at or will soon be at that level come their new album release so I’ve stopped trying to convince them otherwise.
I can't see Idles ever being big enough for The Other Stage headline... Woodsies, definitely but not Other

He's on record saying he's not playing next year.
He said he's not headlining, so I suppose there is still a small window of opportunity

Although i'd like to agree. I can see this happening. Will be interesting to see who plays opposite them on other stages if it is these.
Anyone think there will be another Churnups type set?
I think The Prodigy must be nailed on for an Other set.
I also reckon the Churnups thing could be a fun thing they do going forward - They can pull a headline-sized act/a "Not right to headline, too big for anything else" in each year, have some fun with the code-name and create a new major slot at the festival. You could get the likes of Liam Gallagher in a slot like that, I reckon
