Pharrell Williams

[FloorFiller]

I've given up on there being a headliner I like on the pyramid this year so I couldnt really care if this tit gets the gig. I'm more concerned about the other stage headliners.

big Calvin Harris and Alt-J fan then?

[FuzzyDunlop]

christ I can see this c**t actually headlining, especially now fleetwood mac are not doing it.

I hope he does as long as it isnt sunday. I want the Pyramid sunday headliner to be someone I like.

It means I can find something else in am area Ive hardly been to if he headlines

you rotten bastard.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Is he too big to play 3rd down on Pyramid if Ed Sheeran can?

not sure i understand this question

if Ed Sheeran can play third down then Pharrell can

although arguably after their album sales Sheeran and The Black Keys were booked the wrong way around and Ed shouldn't have played third down

do you mean Ed should have subbed in which case Ed being third down means Pharrell could be third down

in which case yes

but he (surprisingly) didn't even headline Wireless this year

not that surprising given who did

Pharrell more fun that outkast the day before but bruno mars and kanye were on another level.

I agree, he played third down at T so he could do at Glastonbury.

I agree too with Ed, friend said the crowd for Ed was twice the size of black keys.

[The Placid Casual]

Didn't Ed get most of that monstrous Dolly crowd?

I can imagine Pharrell will sub

[bocumaroy]

He did Blurred Lines, and Happy is one of my least favourite songs in a while. I’m not particularly fond of him.

Saw Pharrell when NERD played on the Pyramid a few years ago. It was hilarious, came on late and then refused to leave. They pulled the plug on him and he just stood on stage with the crowd singing N.E.R.D.

What?

No, I mean if Ed Sheeran isn't too big to play third down then surely Pharell isn't.

Album sales aren't the only thing which determine an act's slot, and neither is the crowd they draw. For example Fall Out Boy had a much bigger crowd than NIN at Leeds last year; doesn't mean they should have been above them.

[dan8k]

Remember when NERD played a few years ago? Sound problems meant they were late coming on stage and had their set cut short. Pharrell mentioned that playing for "250,000 of you guys" blew his mind.

I felt a little sorry for them when they launched into one final song, only to be turned off after about 10 seconds....... It was pretty funny.

Not sure if he's the sort to hold a grudge?

what actually happened was that he and his drummers (x2) turned up late and had to sort out a different setup to what was planned, therefore coming on late, and then being a tit when he got cut short.

[The Placid Casual]

His hat sickens me

[kalifire]

He's a very annoying man who makes very annoying music.

[kingcrawler]

He's supporting The Script in Ireland on the 20th June as well.

[Winslow Leach]

Keep that man away from Glastonbury.

It amazes me how he's managed to avoid pretty much all of the blame for Blurred Lines when Robin Thicke has basically had to admit in court that it was all Pharrell's doing and he was just a sleazy sock-puppet.

Then he went and released a video with downright peadophilic connotations and he still didn't seem to get much scrutiny for it. (http://mic.com/articles/101722/pharrell-released-an-insanely-pedophillic-video-and-nobody-talked-about-it)

Basically, I think he's a creep.

in fairness, bill wyman shagged a 13 year old and he headlined without much of a murmer.

[Woffy]

PW & NERD are total guff. They don't have the songs.

[dentalplan]

Bill Wyman never headlined.

Eh? Did Bill play with the Stones at Glasto then?

(I've no idea, I only saw half a song).

[eFestivals]

PS: according to Smith, she was 14 when she first shagged Wyman.

And to be fair to Wyman, 6 years after they became a couple he married her - so presumably it was less about her age and more about her as a person.

[LondonTom]

No. Russy's exaggerating to make a point again. :-)

And he could have used pervert Pete as a true example.

That was just "research"

[billum]

Wyman played Glasto in 2013 on the Friday in the Acoustic tent with his 'Rhythm Kings', but didn't lift a finger during the Stones' set the next day

[Rose-Colored Boy]

in which case he isn't subbing Glastonbury.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

no

most of the Dolly crowd left

at least in the front section

it was rammed, but with different people

[siblin]

Morality questions aside - whats the word of him doing NERD songs as part of his set. Likely?
