considering Pixies were seemingly supposed to be subbing Metallica on Other could they not be third behind Metallica and Jack White on Pyramid? can't see them going ahead of Jack White myself, but who knows

still reckon they'll be headlining Other though. it's just unfortunate circumstances that have led to it happening (Metallica getting boosted to Pyramid, leaving a spot open on Other)

I know there are other stages but it seems odd to me that they would split the "rock" crowd on the Saturday night. I don't see Metallica getting a massive crowd anyway, to lose a large number to The Pixies (which they would) doesn't make sense

Firstly, would Metallica lose a lot of audience to the Pixies? I loved the Pixies for 24 years and I wouldn't go near machismo, twiddling guitar solo nonsense like Metallica for love nor money. And I've never seen anyone doing that silly horn thing with their hands or cheering in a pretend gruff voice at a Pixies gig.

But if (heaven forbid) there is a crossover between their audiences then surely that is why Glasto would book them at the same time. Split the crowd, with crowd density in mind.

Paper Planes is one of the best singles of the last decade, but my history of MIA gig-going is a series of cancellations, late arrivals and premature climaxes.

I think it's total bollocks that Metallica were originally booked to headline Other, but have been moved to Pyramid because Prince wasn't available. How fucking big is their headliner budget supposed to be that they could get Metallica *and* Prince?

(By the way, hoils, I like both Pixies and Metallica.)
