For those with tickets for the Eagles in Manchester, Steely Dan have pulled out and The Doobie Brothers take their place

Every year lots of acts tour around Glastonbury time that don’t do the festival, including some that seem like an obvious choice.

I just can’t see Stevie Nicks playing. I hope I’m wrong.
There’s no way she’ll see herself as below SZA and Shania Twain, and on a par with LCD or Little Simz in the pecking order

Would Pulp headlining in 24/25 be any different to The Cure doing it in 19?
None at all. The latter was initially seen as underwhelming headliners, but mostly won a decent crowd over. I wouldn’t have any problem in Pulp doing it for a third time, and I reckon they’d get a decent sized crowd too. I’m not a huge fan, but having seen the tour last year thought it’d work very well on the Pyramid

First time I saw Karl live was with The Waterboys, Saturday morning Pyramid 1984, same day the Smiths played.
Great musician and composer of some fine songs, RIP sir

Like them or not, it’s totally irrespective as they’re here to stay

We’re getting something this week, I can feel it
We're getting increasingly frustrated

I think Shania would go down a storm in that slot - she's got the smorgasbord of cheesy hits to serve up that's required on a Sunday afternoon

I get the get the impression that a lot of people are just happy to be in the same field as these mega stars/"legends" regardless
I get the impression you most certainly don’t, yet you’re one of the most prolific posters on this thread, spreading your negativity. If you’ve little or no interest in these megastars that tend to headline the Pyramid, why do you post so much in this 2024 headliners thread? I’ve no interest in the KLF whatsoever, so give that one a wide berth

They said they weren't doing Oasis or Roses material.
I would have thought that's the main reason people would fork out good money to see those two together.
Perhaps Ian Brown and Noel will pal up to take advantage

Who would you book?
Don't ask. Skip thinks the only appropriate acts to play the Pyramid are those he likes, rather than those who would actually be popular with a 2024 festival audience. In this alternative reality a scowling Tom Waits would be wheeled on for the Sunday Legend slot to a completely bemused and rapidly dwindling audience and, later on, headliners Misty In Roots would play to a couple of thousand punters

What would the chances be of a steely dan legend spot, albeit quite a bit of time between their manchester gigs and glasto. I think the general public kind of forgets the amount of songs they would recognise, even if from being sampled elsewhere. If not, they would make an incredible other stage headliner against Dua or Coldplay
20-30 years ago they would have been a big draw, but I think they'd not get a big crowd on the Pyramid, much like Robert Plant & Alison Krauss a few years back. Not helped by the fact they rarely play most of their hits (Do It Again, Rikki Don't Lose that Number, Haitian Divorce etc). Last time I saw them it was like being at a convention for retired chartered accountants rather than a rock gig. They'd be a fantastic West Holts headliner though, but whether they'd take a slot like that is another thing

Stevie Nicks was a BST sub just a few years back. Does she have the juice to do it off her own bat?
My thoughts too. Presumably she'll need a strong undercard. Ditto Shania Twain & KoL

For Clarity the post was from an Alt account and Supre hasn't been banned . Thanks all back to headliners
Looking forward to a Supre v Supre face off

We’re overdue a trip to Manchester to visit family and so have relented. £120 seats in the nosebleeds, but apparently the roof is quite low compared to most arenas, so it won’t be like sitting in the top rows of the O2, where you’ve got a good view of the artists’ bald patches, assuming you brought binoculars.
Eagles & Steely Dan is a great bill, and I paid £80 to see the latter in 2019, so I don’t feel too hard done by

Melanie of Glastonbury and I've Got A Brand New Combine Harvester fame
Sad news, my first Pyramid Headliner too (from the days when Michael used to promote any old random act to headline Glasto)

James Arthur in Bristol, 26th June.
Hopefully that’ll be as close as he gets to Pilton

I remember them doing that on the Pyramid in, I think, 1985 or 1986

KoL filling the Madge slot would be heading towards The Darkness coming off the bench to fill in for Bowie at TITP that time

Pity the General Election isn't likely to be in May - there'll then be plenty of clowns seeking employment
