2014 Headliner predictions

[russycarps]

I saw her do some song where she went into the crowd on the highlights, I assume it was her last song: horrendous stuff.

There is a massive lack of female headliners on the pyramid, and they decide to give the big break to that knobhead rather than someone like pj harvey.

[Zoo Music Girl]

While I love PJ Harvey, there's no way she's big enough to headline. There aren't many women who are, sadly.

[ghandi]

I wonder why Maddona never headline the Pyramid?

ok don;t answer

[russycarps]

Maybe not now in the age of megastar headliners, but she could easily have headlined late 90s/early 2000s

edit: pj harvey, not madonna!

Madonna headlining would be huge. She could easily do it.

[ghandi]

PJ Harvey would have been great in the 90's agreed but not now really, i think she's lost it a bit after the last two albums, but having said that i did like let England shake but it's not really an album designed for large arenas, i prefer her earler rockier stuff.

a few Ibs of string-y beef steaks on stage would be far more enjoyable, and look better too.

[home to you]

I just love how she's reinvented herself on every album. But yeah, as much as I'd love to see PJ headline, I don't think she'd attract enough people

Madonnas time has long gone surely? If she got booked it would show the bookers to be massively out of touch with pop music I reckon. I'd take gaga or rhianna over that horror

Her last tour was the 10th highest grossing tour of all time. The Pyramid field would be jammed.

I saw Madonna on that tour and quite enjoyed it, but she got the setlist badly, badly wrong - a decent production of often average material. If she played the hits she'd be a pretty damn decent headliner.

And - it must be said - far more in sync with demographics at the G than the likes of Rihanna or Gaga. Like it or not, she's a legend and has the longevity, the catalogue and the experience to do it.

[The Nal]

I thought she'd been quiet for 5 years or so.

[russycarps]

No thats just when you took her poster off your bedroom wall.

[Homer]

Even as someone who's not particularly a fan, The Immaculate Collection is a great album. The chances of her banging that out well, while also doing a doing a convincing Stones-style job of conveying a vague interest in her surroundings, on the Pyramid have to be minimal though.

[eFestivals]

Mad Madge will only do it for Glasto money if she thinks she needs a credibility boost ... and that's the precise reason why she should never be booked.

Still, U2 got away with it, not that it did them much good.

She would Easily fill out the Pyramid, the demographic has changed a lot, she has a massive back catalogue, is one of those " Legends" in popular music that has yet to headline plus she would put on a good show , so why not. As the NAL has said i'd be elsewhere.

[eFestivals]

That's cos the music industry seems convinced that any female singer who gets slightly popular needs to be "sexed up" and have their actually pretty good voice put through autotune all set to shit music of a "superstart producer".

PJ didn't need the music biz to do that for her, she seemed pretty good at doing it herself.

[russycarps]

pj in 1994 or whenever was the sexiest thing ever to appear on the pyramid!
