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...

    • 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. 
    • live music / main stage will generally end around 11pm but theres dj’s and late goings on right till 4am if you are so inclined.   Drinks are about £7.50 a pint probably and yes theres lots of mixed drinks / spirits / cocktails available to buy   wonderful festival, back for my third year in a row and 4th overall
