    I get that for each individual year but when you look long term it's 4 in 17 festivals. It was just surprising to me that it was so skewed even after their commitment to unskew it. 

    There’s also always options.  Billie E was a surprise for the headline slot but they made it happen.

    To clarify further I don't think it's something to be pleased about or that it's somehow a good thing that this trio will go down better on notoriously angry and divisive social media platforms. There's a very obvious reason Billie, Kendrick and Stormzy didn't go down well on there.

    Exactly this.

    I was looking and there's only been 4 female headliners this century on the Pyramid. It's a lot more male then I thought it would be. 

    For sure, I just thought it was one of Emily’s goals to rectify

    For all the moaning here AM, GNR and Elton will go down better on social media than both Billie, Macca and Kendrick + The Cure, The Killers and Stormzy

    Both years far more progressive. This years feels very stale imo (Elton aside)

    Can already picture the crush of Freds set at Park. He's not big enough yet for Other imo but I cant think of another stage that would fit his crowd. I would say it would be one of the biggest crowds of the weekend.

    I honestly think it's an inspired booking if correct.  They were absolute pioneers in the late 70's and had massive commercial success, albeit over a relatively short career.  I'm 47 and so was a toddler at the time but their legacy loomed pretty large in my life so they maybe have a broader appeal than you think?

    I also recall the absolute furore on here when Stevie Wonder was announced as a headliner and got much the same reaction.  Was an unbelievable headline show and blew most people away.  In my top 3 gigs of all time.

    All good points, fair enough.

    Still not sure they have the mass appeal of Chic, Kylie or Diana Ross for example but thats just me.

    Are we thinking the 1975 are potentially likely to be there in some capacity (other headliners or pyramid) or na??

    I'm not sure I see them wanting to do anything other than pyramid headliner tbh. Possibly Other but after headlining R/L they might see that as a step down (not that I'd necessarily agree)

    As others have said I really can't see Emily booking 3 white male headliners, would feel a step backwards compared to the last couple lineups. Not to mention quite dull (I say that as a fan of 2/3).
