Headliners?

[eoinca]

I'm happy with Beyonce tbh, she's someone I'd never bother paying for a ticket to see but she's got some great songs and she's seriously hot.

I expect her to pull some quality collabs on stage with her as well. Jay-Z for sure.

To be fair, whilst I personally would not go and see any of the rumoured pyramid stage headliners, I do think they are pretty good catches for the festival itself. They are all massive bands/artists.

Plus the updating to Arcade Fire as a SR for Friday makes me exceedingly happy!

If Pulp are indeed playing, where will they fit in on the lineup? Subheadline one of the nights?

Might be worth a watch

The Pyramid isn't the place for head liners any more, it occasionally throws up some gems now and then but the smaller stages are where it's at...

nah, that just means .... welcome to adulthood.

The pyramid stage turned into V festival years ago

yep - at Glastonbury Festival 1983. It's had pop headliners each and every year since then.

But it might have been rather difficult to turn into a festival that wouldn't start for another 15 years.

If she headlines she will have to pull jay-z in to special guest on crazy in love, bonnie and clyde etc. Otherwise she just doesn't have the material for a full headline set at a festival. Personally i was looking forward to seeing her play when it became apparent she was but only as a sub or 3rd from top.

OMG SHE HAS LUSH JUBBLIES!

i'm sure a suitable other stage headliner will make up for this, to have arcade fire headline Other stage whilst she plays would be perfection for me

[eoinca]

Surely the single greatest aspect of Glastonbury is the diversity of music on offer??

She's the biggest female singer in the world. I'd much rather see her than some band like The Killers, Kings Of Leon or Coldplay pretending to play rock music.

Not my bag, but then again the pyramid headliners rarely (if ever) are. Robith makes some good points above about sales, and frankly if you're booking bands to headline the Pyramid, you're going to want big sellers. Yeah, I'd love Jeffrey Lewis to headline, but you know what, thank f**k I'm not in charge of booking eh? They're big names, very f**king big names.

The Pyramid has ALWAYS had pop artists, certainly when I started going in the 90s that was the case. This is nothing new, stop f**king moaning.

The pyramid stage turned into V festival years ago, I don't know why people are so suprised by these turgid headliners. You usually get the odd diamond ( in amongst the dung and I would guess this year will be no different.

Beyonce as a headliner though? It's just embarrassing more than anything. Most embarrassing of all though is that she will get a huge crowd. That pretty much sums up the glastonbury crowd now though so I am not surprised one iota. Thankfully there will be pockets of sensible people elsewhere.

Beyonce more viable a headliner than Pulp? Thanks Emily, you really get what it's all about don't you.

Record sales and hype are king!

That just makes you sound really old and confused mate.

I mean, I am too, most of the time, but I'm not making such a public show of it

Neil, does this mean they're a proper 'SR' now, rather than what you were describing the other day as half-way between Rumour and Strong Rumour?

it's still half-way.

When do you all think the chemical brothers are on so i know as to buy tickets for them in Hyde Park or not?
