DownboundTrain52 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I'll go see the Ed, unless they've managed to book Iron Maiden on the Other Stage or something equally silly. Foo Fighters are the one I'll likely skip, though depends again on who else that night. Pet Shop Boys would be perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 No interest at all in Earnest Ed, but at the same time I don't begrudge his place there. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Andy Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Is there good reason why everyone seems to be taking this article as reliable, and taking it as further confirmation of the headliners? While I agree that the confidence on efestivals is that those are our 3 headliners, isn't it possible that this new source is simply announcing who he's already read here?

And, i'll point out, that article essentially rubbishes their own article from back in June, when they said he was signed and sealed (that I always treated with caution). But i think it's probably the case they've heard something from a direction they trust, much as i did a few weeks ago when I said this thread was over.

Not my cup of tea at all but was surprised how much he got the crowd going. I was @ West holts witwith the Wailers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple of teenage girls in front of me in the pit during his set in 2014 didn't realise I was also behind them as they walked out afterwards whilst having a good bitch, apparently it's something to be ashamed of to sing along at gigs now oh life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeddyDriver Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I have just received some info that has "A Tribe Called Quest" as one of the Pyramid headliners, along with the Foos, and Radiohead Cant say where I git this from, but I have no reason to disbelieve it as this source has been right the last 3 years ! I dont even know who they are ??? So i rather hope its wrong ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as there's many many of us whore desperate for A Tribe to play, it won't be headlining the pyramid that's for sure But hopefully someone has got their stages mixed up and they're on elsewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) A Tribe Called Quest on West Holts vs Sheeran (or fuck it, even Foos) would be unreal, so like everybody else i'm desperately hoping that 1. the info isn't bollocks and 2. they've just got the stages mixed up edit: although ATCQ in the Friday daytime Pyramid slot would also do nicely Edited December 16, 2016 by FloorFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClementsMike Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Radiohead, Ed and Foos' - that's as good a spread of headliners as you could ever expect. I cant think of any one who go to the festival for live music that wouldn't be there at least one of the nights. Job done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed and the Foo's aren't my cup of tea, but you can't argue with their booking. It's a very strong set of headliners. The only slight complaint would be are the Foo's worthy of closing the festival? I would imagine they're there by default because The Radioheads asked to do the Friday so they could enjoy the rest of the weekend on the farm.

He is very popular and sells out stadiums. If he is taking bookings then it makes sense to get him. He loves the festival and will do everything he can to pull off a good show. I will be some where else but good luck to him You could make that argument on the basis that his music is terrible. I wouldn't do that of course, but it's certainly possible to argue that any act isn't a good booking if you really believe they're awful. Popularity shouldn't always trump all other considerations.

I would include myself, but it isn't all about the live music for me and I'm a miserable c**t that doesn't like a lot of music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
