Obviously subjective criteria comes into it on the festival bookers terms, which is why I said 'whether or not Glastonbury would book him is another matter'.

Don't try to be a smart arse when you knew exactly what point I was trying to put across.

Wasnt trying to be smart. Just got a whiff of sanctimony from your post.

100% genuine. TS isn't even especially tall (tho obvs she has heels on there). Here's him being only a little taller than a shopping trollley:

According to the ever conquering source that is Wikipedia, he's a measly 5ft 4inch

ELO!

The more I think about it the more I think there may be something in this. Before the Lionel announcement I was convinced they had Jeff Lynne as the 'Legend' this year. Since then I have struggled to think that if he appears, where would he be placed. I thought a strong sub to another big act maybe.

However, his Radio 2 concert sold out last summer and it looked and sounded amazing, he has the back catalogue of hits (people know far more ELO songs than they realise) and if he brought a full orchestra like he did at that gig it would be a great spectacle. It gave him the taste to do more gigs and I think the general consensus was that he would be doing more even though they have not materialised as yet.

Maybe not the massive headliner that people are expecting/wanting but it certainly ties in with the "not heavily rumoured" soundbite from Emily and I think it could be a triumph if they have taken a punt on him.

    • 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.
