2003 2 (Radiohead and REM. Both were immensely brilliant.)

2005 1 (Basement Jaxx - no, I don't know why either)

2007 1 (Killers. Would've been better if they'd turned the sound up)

2008 Nil (I have no idea who I saw at all in 2008, to be honest...)

2009 1 (Blur. Damon cried. I cried)

2010 Nil (although I did catch the first 10 mins of Gorillaz and the last 10 mins of Stevie Wonder - just in time to hear Michael 'singing' Happy Birthday!)

2011 1 (U2. Unlike 99.9% of people, I loved it, despite getting wet through.)

2013 Nil. Portishead on Other made up for any other performance that year

2014 1 (Arcade Fire. Fantastic gig.)

2015 ????? (I like Foo Fighters, but enough for a whole set? Not sure. Not a Kanye fan. Let's see who Sunday is. Unless it's Blur, Stone Roses, or Fleetwood Mac, I'm probably a 0/3 for Pyramid this year)

I'm probably around 80%. Think I've only missed Gorillaz, Neil Young and Mumford.

The lure of the Pyramid at night always seems to get me. It might again this year. Two acts I'm not particularly arsed about but could see myself having a decent evening at both.

I'm guessing at around 75%. Over the years I've seen more headliners at the Pyramid than any of the other stages but that's just down to artist choices not because they were a big headline act. That being said, I do like the feel of being there with everyone else watching a big act. The atmosphere for Stevie Wonder was great and for Blur was amazing. Mind you, that's also true of the Other stage, West Holts etc

13 - 3/3

14 - 1/3

66%

this year i dont think ill be seeing Foos or Kanye so that'd take it down to 50%

i think the moral of the story is see who you want to see

dont feel like you have to see Pyramid Stage headliners.

theres always something better going on somewhere else if it isn't your thing.

    • Seems the addition of the Sun Stage area is interesting. Suspect this is the area where the Stage 4 used to be pre-2024. Looks as though they want to try create some space to keep people in amongst the arena post-headliners, rather than just crowds all descending back on the campsite entertainment at once. 
    • 2000 Trees - 3 Day Tickets on Concert for Carers to buy (pair £15) sure they will not have them for long, I cant check if they are still available as it now says I have already bought tickets.
    • times and technology has changed , a pyramid headliner is often about the show thats put on as much as the music like it or not and as much as many would like to you cant really blame an artist for trying to get the best out of the set both for the audience in the field and for the cameras also .... Beyonce was 15 years ago
