I'm a lot more excited at the prospect of them playing but not as headliners than I was if they were headlining.

I'd like to see them there but think they would not make a great headliner. Too static, no excitement in the show.

Has Eavis ever paid the Sunday "legend" a "headliner" fee? Whilst I think they're a no-brainer in that spot I doubt he can afford them. Also do their egos permit it, or are they so motivated by lucre that it'd be moot...

Leonard Cohen *might* be an example of a dude with the catalogue and rep to perhaps headline but not quite make the grade as the concluding performance, chiefly for reasons of dynanism and lack of crowdpleasing theatrics.

If Eavis has Eagles as subs and Metallica as Other Headliners then his next miracle will be to make lame beggars walk and blind men see.

Since 1990, he's released nine records, and two of them have been number ones, but four of them have been outside the top twenty.Modern Times was his first number one record for fourty years.

While it could be argued that he's had a pickup in recent years, his career was fecked in terms of record sales in the nineties, and he struggled for a top ten. And that's in US. The UK figures are worse.

the 00's and onwards really seem to have had a habit of romanticising old acts who everybody thought were over and propelling them back in to the limelight / charts. has happened with an awful lot of acts. i don't know whether that's just because their 90's output was so awful and their later output has been genuinely better or what

    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
