Hopefully they've got a good irrigation system laid out at the Pyramid, after everyone has been bored to tears there on the Saturday night it'd be unfair for the Sunday acts.

 

Drainage, maybe?  That would help your gag make sense.

I love Black Messiah - it is simply brilliant - but like all true works of genius it needs a good few listens. Given the critical acclaim it recieved and the live reviews I am surprised at how instantly dismissive people are. Great booking and only Kendrick could have topped it for me.

Meant to be off the chain live. Actually considering the love Prince gets on here, it would be a similar performance (not as good as Prince obviously)

I've heard of D'Angelo (although that's the extent of my knowledge), but I find it weird that some of you are criticising people for not knowing who he is. How is that their fault? Everyone on here is clearly an avid music fan, yet it's also clear a fair number of people on this board are not familiar with him. I'm not sure what to tell you...shit happens I guess?

He's either not been marketed as well as he could have been, or a significant number of people on this forum (people who usually know much more obscure artists than this guy) have all made the exact same oversight.

About ten seconds worth, maybe a bit less, I reckon. 

Fair enough, I'll give it a go

Sorry - didn't say listen tho his back catalgoue music and come up with review - I just meant - literally find out who was the wiki page comes right up - 

I am not a big fan, but I did know who he was, given the aclaim hes had for some of his older stuff etc - but then I am fairly eclectic in that way...

I decide instead of doing that I'd quite literally post my opinion on a messageboard which I enjoy contributing regularly. I prefer a bit of discussion to solo research, but then I am fairly electric in that way.

I knew I rushed into it. Damn my lack of sleep.

Well I said that on a previous post. I was surprised because loads of people on here have filled me in on some pretty obscure artists and I just thought D'Angelo was really famous! Just depends on what you see/read/take in over the years (i'm 34 so knew him from back in the day!)

Sincerest apologies, it brought me no pleasure pointing it out.

Yep, one of these a day until June

And on Tuesday morning before the festival they just stamp 'Radiohead' across the top and are like "we had you going there for a bit, didn't we?"

Quite. And with all due respect to the fella, if the general consensus on even efestivals is a shrug of the shoulders and cries of 'who?', they aren't right for the slot before the most Capital FM headliner in Glastonbury history.

This board only represents a subset of Glastonbury attendees, generally a bit older and more likely predisposed towards rock music.

That said, while he's a big name and a good booking I don't quite see him as Pyramid Sub any more than I do Beck, which maybe implies something skewiff with the poster.

Must admit, I find it a little hard to believe that people who are (I would assume, seeing as they're attending Glastonbury) into music have never heard of D'Angelo. Very strange. 

yeah, quite odd. probably the same people who have never heard of Massive Attack or Talking Heads or something.

one of the most critically acclaimed R&B/Soul singers of modern times....

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'm massively into music, but have never heard of Phats & Small.

And on the Wednesday, the words "are not effing playing this year so give it a rest, get over it and try to be happy for effs sake because it's getting really boring" just underneath.

Also the same people who'll make up 99% of the hordes waiting for Adele, then.

[the wonderwhy]

To be fair, there were people on here who'd never heard a Catfish and the Bottlemen song this time last year. 

We sorted that out pretty quickly.

Perhaps this begs the question, in what order do you rank the different slots? I've always thought headlining The Other is a better slot than playing second fiddle on The Pyramid. In fact, I think I've always ranked headlining WH, JPT or The Park above subbing The Pyramid. Perhaps we should try to rank the slots as a community?

Added detail.

He is the West Holts act to gawp at.

didnt someone say that a west holts headliner dropped out, could they have only just finalised d'angelo as headliner.

Nothing specifically against you, my bad if it came across that way, just saying that the kind of people who've never heard of Talking Heads or Massive Attack are exactly the kind of people who are going to be watching the Saturday sub slot.

Same fella said Adele wasn't headlining because she asked for too much money.
