I genuinely thought they'd give it to the foos so i'm surprised.

So did I but it doesn't matter.

1. Coldplay could still easily be on the Sunday

2. What different does it make what day acts are booked for? No one last year goes "Ugh as if Reading have booked Blink again... Wait... What? They're playing the Sunday again?! Shit me I could have handled them playing a different day but not the same day as last time. Selling my ticket."

Who Metallica? Wouldn't say they're any larger in terms of general public appeal than Arcade Fire or Kasabian last time out, bigger in a historical, sold more records sense without a doubt. In the same respect you could say in 2010 that U2 should have been down for the Saturday? People seem to get hung up on an assumption that their are some sort of unwritten historic rules about where certain bands are placed

They were the biggest band of the three. Maybe not for the general public, but it was a massive coup to get a band who sell more tickets, sell more albums and are generally legends in their niche.

I do think that there's too much focus on the Saturday being some sort of sacred thing, but last year, the biggest act played that day.

Metallica play the UK every other year basically, didn't see it as a coup in any sense at all

With Adele and AC/DC gone from the rumours page, the remaining possible 3rd headliner rumours include Flo, Taylor, Elton, Rihanna, Libertines, Prince and ...... I've seen no-one discuss the fact that Motorhead are on there!! Still, can't see it happening, especially with Foos confirmed.

    • Ah, that is interesting and ruins my theory a bit!!   I think my point just about holds though, and coming full circle on this discussion, being a sizable band such as Muse and not being able to sell out two O2 dates very quickly or at all doesn’t fill me with confidence that they be able to do a decent job selling a stadium tour…although maybe if Muse do something about their pricing, maybe they can!
    • I’ve said it elsewhere too but Emily Eavis said a 2028 headliner was booked, to me that’s only going to be someone the size of Oasis or Taylor Swift
    • Christ didn't even see that! 
    • It does feel very bland. It would certainly spell another year (my third, I think) away from Pyramid headliners for me. That doesn't mean they aren't worthy, though. I don't follow what any of them are up to, as it isn't my thing. Good luck to them.   You would think coming off a fallow year, they would want one big hitter. 'Big hitter' is obviously open to debate, but that was/is Madonna. Let's have it right. The eggs have gone in that basket, and it seems (as far the rumours go) that it's blown up. So now you're left with another plan B/replacement headliner.   I'm still of the opinion that Oasis will do it, before the Oasis thing is all said and done. Probably 2028, if they can come to an agreement. It may transpire that 2027 is bland (or at least to some of us), and 2028 is a bit... wild.   Again, though, none of us categorically know ANY of the headliners, as it stands.
