Biffy Clyro

Fleetwood Mac

Can't pin a 3rd but I'd say provided new stuff will be about, if The Roses don't do it next year then they won't.

I have a feeling Thom York isn't too fussed anymore, I think he recognises the 2003 is held in high regard. Taylor I think had the perfect opportunity to do this year, the only thing that makes me consider her is that maybe wouldn't have a wider appeal that maybe she could gain this year.

I bloody hope you are wrong. Part me of agrees that Thom probably feels that way but I doubt the rest of the band do. Colin for example after 2011 was quick to highlight just how much he and the band's enjoyed playing that year. If the new album drops early 2016, I think 13 years is more than enough to make them consider delving once more unto the breach.

Could part of the reason in him not being keen about headlining (if he isn't) that he has no interest in playing the type of setlist that a Pyramid headline slot would need for it to go down well with the masses?

I can't have it being Fleetwood Mac as much as I would like it to be.

Why would the money be right next year if it wasn't this year?

Plus they'd be knackered after touring for over a year around the world and Stevie Nicks has apparently said she's taking a break from the band after this world tour.

I think their ship has sailed after two years of dropping out for various reasons.

    • Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

    • It feels really busy this year, loads of big groups of youngsters too. Slightly different vibe to previous years I've been. As with Tramlines, they're very chatty during sets and there's a constant stream of them in and out of the crowd... definitely feeling my age 😂   The Quarry stage I think is a lot smaller than previous years - seems similar size to Squid/Leadmill. Some sets have been difficult to get in.   I think I've reached my limit with mid-tier indie guitar bands. There's been quite a few this weekend where I've gone over to see them then walked away after 20 mins. Surprisingly, enjoyed the Fratellis set the most in this genre. Probably getting on for 20 years since I last saw them. Wasn't expecting them to do Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, which was fab!   Hugely enjoyed the Happy Mondays yesterday, and same but different with Radio Free Alice who I saw again on Friday, following Tramlines last weekend. A big run of pop acts today - Scissor Sisters will be fantastic!
