Duffy?

I'm very surprised there's been no mention or rumour that Duffy will be appearing on the pyramid this year - remembering ME's comments after last year that she 'could headline' next year - I know headlining is'nt or should'nt happen but still reckon she will play & be fairly high up on the Pyramid bill maybe 3 from the top on the Sat/Sun (more leaning towrds Sunday below Blur/The specials perhaps) Plus Glato has a recent tradition of giving slots to people who've had the biggest selling album the previous year a big slot and no-one's sold more records than Duffy in the last year (see Amy Winehouse last year after also playing in '07,Arctic Monkeys in '07,even go back to Keane in '05 after Hopes and Fears)

It could be that no one on here is particularly bothered for her.

If you stick her on on the Sunday on The Pyramid it will further my view that Sunday

is all about pleasing the chair and blanket fraternity down the front , along with the

BBC viewers at home.

:):);):) That second pic is horrendous. She is definitely prettier then that - maybe they just caught her on a bad day... like the day she ran out of hormone replacement tablets or something.

i hope she plays, dont care which stage really

me and my mates think she is okay and would gladly go for a stroll to watch her play :)

i watched a vid on youtube of her playing last year, i thought she sounded quite good

Saw her on the Other Stage at Glasto last year and she was confident and competent enough and she got a decent crowd to see her.

But personally I don't think she is Pyramid Stage headline material for the foreseeable future though as lacks maturity.

I reckon she will be high up on one of the smaller stages at this years GF which is okay for her fans.

I know the question is really just whether she'll play or not and if she does then fair enough (as long as I don't find out she's taken the place of someone decent!).

However with regards headlining the Pyramid Stage?????????

Surely you have to have earned such a place??? I'd be interested to see how quickly she fades after her first album like the majority of acts like this. I personally think that you really should have earned your stripes before you play with the big boys!

In the Q & A session Michael did in the speakers' tent last year, he was full of praise for Duffy, saying he thought she had a great future. My guess is she'll be playing on the Pyramid stage at about 4pm on Friday.

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
