I don't think they have, the Glasto site said they played the Pyramid but that's since been removed (think Neil informed them of the mistake?)

Seem to remember reading they offered to play for free in 2007 but there was no space. Eavis apparently thinks they're music for children or something along those lines, Sunday Pyramid headliner for 2010 it is then :P

wasn't it the opposite of that? i thought they asked to play and asked for a ridiculous fee also?

they don't seem like the kind of band to do much for free they have become quite the money grabbers in recent years, i loved this band before they cleaned up kicked the drugs and totally went to shit!

they are just rock and roll pantomime these days and performance by numbers as they proved with their god awful headline set at reading a couple of years back which saw people streaming off in droves.

John do another generic riff while Flea plays porn soundtrack style slap bass and then Keidis will reel off a load of rhyming words that make no sense whilst thrusting his groin all over the f**king shop.

well it's not fair saying they are awful band or an awful live band. They have some great albums, and yes some real duds, but a some real classics. And they arent always awful live. Reading 07 was very terrible. But they have been working none stop for over 20 years, a bit of a decline will happen. But they have had some really great gigs... their live albums is ratehr good.

why is it unfair? their last good album was 18years ago and live they have always been dreadful. not musically (they can certainly still rock) but Kiedis' voice just doesn't cut it. even on live dvd's, where they had the opportunity to polish out any lack of power in his voice, his vocals are so piss poor its shocking....

so please Mr. Eavis, don't book them.

i've seen them quite a bit having been a fan since around 1987 and i can honestly say these days they are just a guttless emotionless money grabbing musical pantomime act.

everything is the same and predictable and just empty and meanignless, it's painting by numbers in concert form, this is the bit where flea and john go back to back topless and jam for 10 minutes, the same jam they have played at every other gig on the tour, whilst they do this Keidis takes his positions standing up on the drum doing that hand moving hip thrusting dance he does.

it's just bloody awful and souless.

the best way i can sum them up is by saying some bands feel honoured coming to a town/city to play for you.

the red hoit chili peppers think you should feel honoured for getting to go to see them.

they are one of only a handful of bands i know of that will only do presales via a paid membership club which has the presale offers as it's main draw and the membership costs afortune and is plugged shamlessley on their website. (or was when they were touring)

they act like they are as big as huge groups like U2 etc but they've just not had the same success assuch bands

i'ts so sickening when i think of the band i fell in love with over 20 years ago as a kid to see them evolve into this thing we have now.

how did this:

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha

      No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
