Behave mate. No Glastonbury headliner have released anything remotely as good as her most recent two albums after they've headlined, she could easily fill a set with stuff purely from the last two albums. We've seen a shift from a sales model to a streaming model since last time, and still those two albums performed well. Beyonce (which was a surprise release at the end of the year with no promotion) has outsold 4 which she was touring in 2011 with a big promotional campaign and "The Glastonbury Effect" to boost sales. Beyonce went to #2 and Lemonade went to #1.She's moved from arenas to stadiums since last time and the current Formation tour is looking like it'll be the highest grossing tour in the USA this year, she's by far the biggest name they could book.

Also, even besides its immense political importance deserving the best stage in the world, Formation blasting through the Pyramid sound system? Yes please. Ear quaking stuff.

She wouldn't want to do it again. It was a one-off thing to play to her not-usual crowd. No reason for her to come back, for a lot of the reasons stated above - she's the biggest act in the world - she can make a lot more money and reach a bigger audience elsewhere. And it's never as good the second time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( I think) That was a tough night in ol Dubs cos Johnny Grant was strutting his stuff as well. To be fair SR did a decent gig although the organisation was horrific. Couldn't get a drink unless you were sucking a barman. Somehow, I knew this was going to end with someone offering you a drink. 2 hours ago, Quark said: Damn straight!

Did so with Adele this year and worked out a treat for me. Don't do it! This was pretty much my outlook on it when she played last time - she's totally not my thing and all my crew were staying to watch her so I bowed to peer pressure in the hope that she'd surprise me... Don't get me wrong, she was alright but not going off on my own to catch QOTSA is one of my biggest ever glasto regrets TOP TIP - If you're not that into it and there's something else on you fancy, then go with it!

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 I agree with the 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law*' sentiment, but Yonce was still the right choice that night. Skipping that would be like ducking out on Elvis to go and see The Dave Clark Five. * Big ups A-Crozzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it'll depend who else is where but it's good advice to keep I massively prefer New Order over Adele, yet went for the latter because of history of that set. it was like the Stones or Metallica - or even Beyonce herself, arguably a watershed moment. I mean, my biggest I was there moment is always going to be Kate Bush in Hammersmith - and that was outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 It could go either way, really. It'll be her decision (rather than a case of whether or not the festival wants her again), but she's an active, touring entity - not a heritage act who won't get out of bed for nuff bucks. All to play for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote There’s no more announcements now for a while, but I will tell you the other two that have been rumoured aren’t happening. I don’t know where anybody got those from.” Which two specifically do you mean? “There was a news story that said Daft Punk and Stone Roses. That’s not true. No ambiguity there. No way are the Roses playing based on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
