Need to hope that #RightBazza is also on the bill.....

my other half doesn't get Diana Ross. Thinks shes a total diva (isn't that the point??)

 

Wasn't complaining when Nile/Chic played a few of her/their numbers when she was off her face watching them in '13 mind........

[DareToDibble]

I stand at 5/9 for Pyramid headliners so far!

2014 - Kasabian (Saw Skrillex and MGMT the other 2 nights elsewhere)
2015 - Kanye (Saw Rudimental and Chemical Brothers elsewhere)
2016 - All 3.

What possessed me to go to Skrillex, I don't know. Had it not been my first Glasto then I would have been straight over to SE Corner, but I was fairly clueless. Especially as I think this was the Friday?

Bizarre she finishes with I Will Survive. Sometimes twice. Gloria Gaynor is still alive and well and finishes with that, as its her song. 

Unless they also book G-Gayn and we have a Survive Off.

2017 plans:

Radiohead definitely 

West Holts most likely (going by previous years and rumours) 

Other maybe 

Park hopefully (the elusive Park headliner continues to bug me) 

Jesus and The Mary Chains Sunday. Believe. 

[Calvin Klein]

2013 - Rolling Stones

2014 - Arcade Fire 

2016 - Adele (from way back)

[Hutchmaster]

I'm 0/3 at the moment. My headliners last year were Richard Hawley, James Blake and LCD Soundsystem. If I manage to get a ticket this year, based on Ed and Foo's seeming certain, I'd only see Radiohead as a Pyramid headliner and even then despite being a huge fan a horrible clash could drag me away seeing as I'm seeing them in Dublin before and Manchester after the festival!

That or the touted Avalanches set, hook me up 

[TheBurns]

Been twice and yet to see a headliner on the pyramid so this year I'll be going to see Radiohead(clash permitting).

2015 - Bit of Christy Moore then theatre & circus fields - Mothership - Chems
2016 - NZCA lines - New Order - LCD

I really regret not seeing hot chip.

[Harry49]

2015 - Super Furry Animals, Public Sector Broadcasting, The Who - (Average)

2016 - Richard Hawley, New Order, Coldplay(excellent)

2017 - Radiohead & Foos potentially, but could be swayed easily to another stage.

The atmosphere inside the barrier for Coldplay was tremendous, would take a good show to top that I reckon this year. Radiohead has the potential judging by the folks on this board I guess!

[Hugh Jass]

My alternatives:

05 - Babyshambles (Leftfield), Ian Brown (Other)

07 - Iggy and the Stooges (Other)

09 - Q-Tip (Jazzworld as it was then known), Jarvis (JP)

10 - Pet Shop Boys (Other)

11 - Half of QOTSA (Other)

14 - Bryan Ferry (WH)

15 - SFA (Park). Suede (JP)

It seems I didn't see any headliner on any stage in 2005 (my first festival). I think I was up at the Stone Circle one night.

[shoptildrop]

2010 - Gorilliz  (I enjoyed it but not a fan), Muse (fab) & Stevie/SEC

2013 - (Chic (fantastic), Rolling Stones (sorry didn't enjoy as crushed & in bad spot), (Cat Power/The XX fab)

2014 - (Metronomy fantastic), Metalica  (not bad), (Massive attack (ok)

2015 - Florence fab, Kanye crappie so went to see Leftfield, Chems started ok

2016 - Muse enjoyed, (New order fab), (Grimes fantastic )

2017 don't know yet

[Ovechkin]

13 - Crystal Castles, Rolling Stones, Phoenix

17 - Radiohead, probably Foo's or at least the encore with Everlong

Whoever wrote that clearly doesn't understand the term headline.

Then one of them will be proved as a liar. 

Or overly optimistic at best.

The Foo Fighting Five are closing the Pyramid and it will not see any sort of activity again until 2019!

Eep.

But Skunk Anansie closed out the century on the Pyramid as well...

[tevaburger]

Pyramid headline set remains for me the ultimate gig experience if it's nailed, done properly...Stones, Radiohead (03), McCartney are 3 of my more memorable gigs ever, Springsteen as well for the day (Gaslight Anthem into CSN), where I was right at front, and because I'm a bit inclined towards being a fan of him. I've seen 19/24 headline sets, although I've wondered off for about 3 to catch other stuff. I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt, and am not one of those 'too cool to see Pyramid headliner' types. Best Pyramid headline alternatives I chose were Portishead (13) and Robert Plant (02)

Next year, just Radiohead for me though.

 

[HoTWire]

Headline alternatives :

2011 : DJ Shadow (JP), Chemical Brothers (Other)

2013 : Chic (WH)

2015 : Hot Chip, Funkadelic/Mothership, Flying Lotus (all WH)

2016 : Underworld (WH), Bob Moses (Silver Hayes)

Well Emily did say we could hear something early on in the year...

[thewayiam]

It's a perfect opportunity with Radio 1 and a BBC Breakfast show, high chances he's going to get asked about touring plans.
