I'm not aware of Eavis saying Saturday is a bigger act.

There's been presumptions from lots of people (including me) that it might be, as Saturday normally has a bigger act than Friday.

But having sat back and thought about it some more, I'm pretty sure that if there's a bigger act for the Saturday than U2, it can't be band and must be a solo artist - after all, Eavis announced U2 as (something like) "the biggest band in the world", which very much implies that there's no bigger band for Saturday.

It's possible I guess that I'm reading too much into that, but I think Eavis has been at it long enough to not risk pissing off a band of similar or bigger status by using a line like that without considering that it might cause some issues.

Going back to the British headliners point, Ireland is in the British Isles isn't it? Maybe that's what Eavis meant? Even if it's not part of the UK etc.

As for Muse, quite excited about this - imagine they didn't headline and were playing under Zeppelin or something crazy like that with an artist like Stevie Wonder headlining the Sunday or Saturday :P (I can dream)

Really? You think that??!!! Ireland certainly IS NOT in the UK, or the British Isles coming to that... or in anyway part of GB/UK.

NORTHERN Ireland however is part of the UK but not GB... it was added separately in 1922.

Geography lesson over. x

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.

      2027 Headliners

      By mufcok · Posted

      Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
