Why do you think more people have tried in November than would have in October?

Forgot about Birthday. Coming Up's had an outing too recently

Looking at his most recent setlists, it's mainly the same as Glasto with added Jet, She's a Woman and Sgt Pepper's (reprise)

That sounds suspiciously like her 2019 itinerary

Presumably festivals with just one stage?

Finally got to see The Sisters of Mercy, at the Bristol Marble Factory last night. Mixture of songs from their 3 studio albums, quite a few ‘new’, unreleased tracks and a few others too. Way overdue a slot on the farm

“And the award for the cheese with the best competition prize goes too…”

Worked for Dolly 👍🏼

I know she’s good live, I’ve seen her, and is critically acclaimed. She just isn’t that big. She’s only had one single that’s actually charted (Introvert got to #11). That’s nowhere near Pyramid headliner form. I see her more occupying the space where the likes of Portishead or Massive Attack can - big cult following and a solid choice to headline one of the other stages, and smaller festivals

It would be interesting to see how she’d do in the Legend’s slot given the above. She seems to be doing about 5 FM songs (and not necessarily all obvious ones), a couple of Tom Petty songs, a couple more covers and the rest from her catalogue. Add too the fact that she’s not always the warmest of people on stage, but that said she is a bona fide legend and the nearest we’ll get to having the Mac on the farm

They must be that big US act that contacted Emily about playing

It's only a short hop to Southampton after their highly anticipated Legends slot on the Sunday

So give her a slot on the Pyramid that's appropriate for her popularity, and see how it works. Personally I think she's nowhere near 'big' enough to be headlining, but exposure to playing on the biggest stage is one step towards the possibility

She did headline in 2022, albeit on a stage more appropriate to her popularity at the time. You're falling into the trap of thinking an artist should get a prominent slot because you personally like them

Did he take it for a devil gate drive?

Ok, so there's The Killers. Who are all the others?

It is according to roughbloke, who has a reliable source for Pyramid headliners

They’re back playing in the UK next year, that’s all. No chance an act of that status would play the Pyramid two years running

Not my take. The prediction in the Mail is either true or not true, and Emily is saying the latter. I’d guess it’s 2/3 true.

Almost certain that Coldplay are yer 'rock' headliner

It's the lowest seating area and if you're towards the back you're under the middle tier overhang. It's probably not an issue with gigs but I've sat there at rugby matches and couldn't always see the ball if kicked high etc. I unwisely left Mrs b in charge of the tickets this morning, and she ended up with seats in L10. It'll be a great view, but the price - bloody Nora! 😲

Stargreen was my go-to for tickets, got tickets for many memorable gigs there

They should go back to selling tickets in person from independent record shops, left-field book shops and those Wicca shops on Glastonbury High Street. Make it difficult for the bloody influencers and the like
