Just throwing this out there....

2004 brought some operatic Wagner to the Pyramid.... How about something classical in nature?

It's not to everyone's tastes... but then again.. what is? :huh:

Obviously, you'd want something with a little more mass appeal and vigour than, say, Elgar's Cello Concerto in E Minor.. but I believe there are enough options out there.

By legends they didn't specifically mean musical legends so I want Chuck Norris to recreate the whole of the Walker, Texas ranger series with Bear Grylls cause they are both superhumans and living legends. I even heard that Bear Grylls has super powers and can turn water into wine on occasions!!!

Don't want to repeat many of the excellent suggestions above but no one has mentioned Rolf. He packed Jazz World to overflowing this year and clearly could have pulled a Pyramid-sized audience.

I also enjoyed Brian Wilson's set a couple of years ago.

It could also be an opportunity for reunions so if Noddy could be persuaded to rejoin Slade we could alll go crazeeee.

*BUMP*

I am currently listening to Scott Walker on spotify. I reckon he would be great on the Sunday afternoon 'golden oldie' spot. He has/had a great voice and is acknowledged to be a major influence on many of the crop of current musical artists.

I don't know if he still performs live but if he appeared on the Pyramid Stage I certainly would be there singing along to 'no regrets' etc. :P

I totally agree with this. Why not have Video Games Live perform?

Or make one of my dreams come true and have John Williams conduct a symphony through some of his most famous work??

Jaws

Star Wars

Close Encounters

Superman

Raiders of the Lost Ark

E.T.

Empire of the Sun

Jurassic Park

?

That would be something. :P

Would be great to see Lou Reed there, but his lyrical content is a little darker more disturbing than the likes of Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, etc. :P

Still, a field of people singing along to Take A Walk On The Wild Side, a song about transexual hookers, on a chilled out Sunday afternoon would be a real Glastonbury moment!

    • Spring (or early) next year now.   Says to me that the album is/was delayed. I've done some digging but not had anything beyond that.
    • Same’s happened at MSG recently with Rush and Phish alternating nights. I guess each band has its own unique production so their riggers will be kept busy
    • The rumour was uk arena tour late this year.  Same as Charli xcx cant be announced until Reading headline is done.   
    • Latest from the sun at least is that harry is still headlining but Olivia has turned down a spot next year to work on new music and hope for 2028.   So they can't have Fender, Fontaines, Harry, Olivia and Madonna. 
    • I mean I don't think EC and FFDP are borderline sub, they wouldn't be any lower now.   2025 is about as strong as Bloodstock gets yet this year only one headline would sub and the others would play 3rd down or lower.    Machine Head wouldn't sub at Download regardless of rarity, they don't sell enough tickets and I'm not sure Gojira would sub either. Their last UK tour was a mix of smaller arenas and academy dates. Ally Pally being the only London date, not even Wembley Arena.
