Are you suspecting a special guest slot probably means a sub Pyramid slot? 9 minutes ago, craigb said: So no Daft Punk Yeah to be fair somewhere nailed down 3 of those top 4 a few days ago, didn't have The XX in there mind but the main 3 being the 1st 3. While I don't think it says DP aren't playing at all, the person who said DP weren't taking bookings also said or hand a hand in saying/confirming that RH wouldn't be headlining this group of fests. Vance Joy, Catfish and Rancid for me out of that lot. Edited September 28, 2016 by thewayiam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe that can be knocked on the head again Not necessarily. I believe the rumour of a 2017 tour was already up and running before the Lolla angle was added. It was and probably still is generally accepted that Coachella would be the first festival to announce them IF they are active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think it'll be a Pyramid 'special guest' slot though, if she was all set to do perform at the Shangri La this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defo a shoe in, I would imagine so given that a Pyramid sub would defeat the object of being the sub last time but needing darkness. Them returning to it wouldn't be any different to Massive Attack playing a few years later than before. Opposite The Stone Roses on Sunday night I think probably.

We discussed adding her, but not where she might be added. I personally probably would have gone for unknown stage, tho Pyramid is a very reasonable assumption so I won't be asking him to move it; the only other sensible sounding option is Other Stage. And while she might end up appearing in Shangri-la again they certainly wouldn't have the budget to book her unless she was already on site via a major booking for a major stage .

Could just do it for the love of the game tbh, like this year woulda been. I just couldn't really get my head around her - having already done Glastonbury - wanting to play it again in a billed non-headline slot for a reduced fee etc. when this is the year she'll probably start doing festivals again and obviously grabbing headline slots.

In which case headlining isn't going to be her thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, that's probably why she'd headline a festival rather than a bunch of nights at Twickenham or whatever. I'd suspect the reinvention thing will at least stall a decline too, as will performing at the Super Bowl. Besides, imagine Emily being all like "we need more women headlining our festivals" and then rolling out the news that Lady Gaga, biggest thing in entertainment five years ago, is gonna support a band of dudes in their late 40's/early 50's.

Untz Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Lady Gaga tries to portray herself an artiste and is just as likely to be doing some shamanic wailing in the middle of the night in the Greenfields as playing a straight up set on the main stages. Anyway, judging by her choice of tour support act a few years ago she's clearly into the techno and will be doing a 8 hour set covering the history of the genre somewhere in the SE corner. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there wasn't a fallow I'd bet on them missing G this time to try and get on the mainstage for 2018, after the record has had its impact. I reckon they'd accept a Pyramid subslot if offered though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Metallica were down as Other stage headliners, I could see, at a massive stretch, Pearl Jam doing it. Agree on the other two though. KoL definitely won't take that step down.
