Rolf on Pyramid

Recommended Posts

Sorry if this has been done before but.......... how about getting Rolf on the Pyramid stage????

I was lucky enough to see him this year on Jazz World but there was not enough room and it was far too hot and people who were walking past could not get through. So I'm pretty sure that Rolf could fill the Pyramid area why not let him????

Come on ME..... Rolf for the Pyramid!

Any thoughts??..........................

I think last year's (God no THIS year's!) campaign did the trick as at one time it seemed as if his early self-confirmation was a mistake. All's well that ends well and he was brilliant - even bringing the weather from Oz for the day. But, yes, the field was ridiculously full and he needs more space as he wasn't slow to point out.

At the risk of baying the crowd and going against the trend on only my second post i thought Rolf was pretty average last year. There was a great atmosphere when he came on and he was midly entertaining for the first few songs but the novelty quickly wore off and most people where i was (slap bang in the middle next to the Brothers bar) turned off pretty quickly and got back to baking in the sun with a few brothers in each hand!

Don't think he could sustain the interest of the Pyramid crowd for more than 10 mins.

Seen Rolf 3 times now, all at Glasto, must say the first time I saw him always stands out in my memory, on the barrier at Avalon Stage in 2000. Rolf was always part of my younger years growing up in the 70's / 80's and now in 90's and naughties with his other tv work and music he's a legend and should be crowned king of glaso and given the a free reign to choose when and where to perform at Glasto - my prefered choice would however be a round a glasto camp fire with rolf, a didgereebong, michael eavis, and john peel for a good ole chin wag, shame that can never happen tho

Yes Rolf on the Pyramid on the 12pm Sunday "quo" slot would be poetic justice for the travesty that was this year - The planners underestimated Rolfs pulling power and at some points I was quite worried there would be a major crush... some reckon 100,000 tried to see him. I walked away after being squashed against the fence with no way to move forward, but eye witnesses reckon that he was superb...

His name is of glasto legend now so he deserves the pyramid...

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
