Emily Eavis interview in NME

[robith]

That reminds me - remember last year when people were saying Stevie Wonder wasn't big enough to headline?

I really wanted to share with them a photo of where I was able to stand (actually in the tents at the back of the field) before deciding it wasn't worth having a band experience of the man and going to see Orbital

[Guest blackcockerel]

I've definitely never seen a Pyramid stage crowd that big!

[Chazeboy]

I see what you mean! But do we really think they'd know anything? Anyone know who actually runs pilton.com and whether they have ever had any insider knowledge? I had a mate at university who used to reckon he could get the Glasto line-up from pubs near where he lived (just outside Shepton Mallet) before it was announced. In the three years I spent at uni with him he was always right and about two months ahead of the official announcements but I'd come to believe that this didn't happen anymore. My link

[The Nal]

Neil & Lea Run it, they were very helpful to us for the football, and have very good contacts within the festival

[Chazeboy]

Like, 3am up in the Stone Circle sort of contacts?

Pyramid:

Fri

U2 - Arcade Fire

Sat

Sun

Coldplay - Kanye West

Me = Happy

I was sort of one of those people, thought he was big enough alright but just thought he may play loads of cheesy ballads. He didn't. I was 100% wrong (thankfully). He f**king nailed it.

Although unfortunately Im not wrong about the Stones if they play, it'll be average at best.

[LittlemissC]

i might be a terrible pessimist but i suspect those you have as 2nd slot on pyramid are more likely to headline the other stage to split the crowd. especially in the case of the rolling stones and pulp.

the eavii and their love of brain-frazzling clashes have made me so.

Were Artic Monkeys that bad? I wasn't there. Looked at Youtube clips .. seemed alright. Maybe a bit just albums played straight up .. but they got Dizzee on. . they did a cover. They put some effort in.

[Guest blackcockerel]

I still can't get my head around Skunk ANansie headlining in 99. Did anyone actually go? I watched Mogwai.

[strummer77]

KOL and AM seemed to have plenty of the crowd on side from the TV footage. Plus it was the gig that pushed KOL into the big time.

[LondonTom]

and surprisingly right at the front it wasn't cramped at all, we had loads of space to move around!

[jimmy93]

Saying that I saw a youtube video the other day from what people had filmed thenmsleves and they looked in front of the speakers and they had a fire going in the middle of the crowd and everything. Very odd cos we got there bit late and couldn't find a way in to get closer!

Unfortunately, they're a f**king AWFUL band. First two albums were good though. Which is sad.

I loved the third record. Was probably my favourite.
