So that's 3 of us. I wonder who the other 27 people in the tent were?

27 very happy-they-made-the-right-choice people!

Brilliant wasn't it? Loved their stroll through the crowd with the drums.

Yeah, and the bit where the lead guitarist and bassist exchanged guitars mid-song by throwing their guitars at each other, never missing a beat.... Praying for a return from these inspired boogie-merchants

We know that the headliners, on the Pyramid, get a fraction of what they might get at other festivals. I wonder what the comparison would be for someone like ZZ Top, who are headliner status at some festivals, compared to maybe topping the West Holts stage? Financially, I'd imagine it's a no-brainer.

Seems the Pyramid headliners get paid 25% of where they would elsewhere so ZZ Top would probably lose, what, 85-90%? A free gig in their minds basically.

The power of the Beeb is obviously not being sold to bands as much as it should.

3 of them were me and 2 mates who also would rather see some old school rock n roll instead of being way down the back for a country artist we only knew the `hits` for......one of the great things about glasto discovering new music, all stars were awesome!

Palling up with Weezer is nowhere near as heinous as hanging around with Kid Rock and lending his voice to Nickelback's Rock Star.

 

Nickelback........... sorry.  That band is so wrong. Seems like they are the result of a mentally ill IT geek that listened to saddo 'rock'that came up with an alogrythm that could reproduce an average sound of all the shoite rock bands.

 

  Saddest band from Sad Town in Saddestrockband County.

Spotted this on Festileaks boards. Courtesy of Google translate:

ZZ Top comes in June and July 2016 for 20 concerts, which are all part of their new roadshow to Europe. The Hell Raisers Tour kicks off in Birmingham to travel further then to the renowned Glastonbury Festival in Pilton. Then the band to mainland Europe is going to include performances in France, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Belgium and the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland where they recorded their DVD "Live at Montreux 2013".

Sneakily found! So they're unofficially confirmed then?

thank you Heineken Music Hall for that!!! seems pretty valid leak...well found by you!

i was looking at their dates this past weekend in fact, looking for patterns as for which day, etc... it seems like they do have a few 3 days-in-a-row slots fit in, so that doesn't rule out sunday, but that would be 6 gigs over 7 days, so my money is on saturday, only being that a night gig in Birmingham thursday vs a possible 5pm slot friday being too much of a turnaround for them...

surely it's Adele/PJ Harvey/ZZ Top on the pyramid saturday...can u imagine?

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
