IF this happens, would they get a Pyramid slot?

As much as I want them to play as I think they'd be brilliant, they're a little bit of a novelty.

Summertime would kill it, Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme would kill it, Boom Shake the Room... would probably be alright... What else have they got that people would know? They're no De La Soul.

That said Jazzy Jeff is good enough to hold down a 45 minute pyramid slot on his own (imo).

I'd be gutted if they were booked on Silver Hayes.

Yeah 100% a Pyramid act - they'd be one of the biggest draws of the weekend after the headliners (probably moreso than Radiohead really). To put them anywhere else would be insane.

Will Smith would play tunes from his album like Miami and all that .... I would be there in a heartbeat to see them play the fresh prince and summertime! then they can play whatever the fuck they want

I'd have though yes they would. I think it'd be dangerously busy anywhere else unless they get a headlinery slot. They would be a much better booking in the afternoon on the Pyramid so the masses can enjoy the novelty.

Showing my age but 'Girls ain't nothing but trouble' was often played in the old 'chrome and carpet' places during the late 80s.

[stuartbert two hats]

Agreed, couldn't get a more Pyramid act than a Hollywood movie star playing a string of massive pop hits.

[FloorFiller]

Struggling to see where they'd fit in given what we know/think about who's playing where, but hopefully we've just got something massively wrong and they'll fit in nicely. Pre-Katy Perry on the Saturday would do me just nicely, although with Craig David also on that day it may turn in to a bit too much of a cheese fest... and then The National.

[payneruk]

Can't see them on the rumors list. Were they ever on it?

Best to abandon the struggle and assume that they wont be there.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Please be true.... then please please have a Jazzy Jeff set somewhere too. He is a fantastic DJ

[Teddybears]

I would love for this to be true

Looks like they're "Exclusives"

 

"Finishing off the weekend, will see WILL SMITH and DJ JAZZY JEFF in their only UK performance this year on Sunday 27th August."

[CaledonianGonzo]

Never mind these herberts, Bananarama are back.

[DJ Cull]

Exclusive be damned, if we wish hard enough this can, nay must, happen.

Their only exclusive until they are booked elsewhere.

Jazzy Jeff is on Twitter in the last half hour saying that it's a dream to play Glastonbury and when he can be there and the schedule allows he's there. He's already playing around Glastonbury and I don't think Will Smith will be in any denial of what a Pyramid slot could do for him, that's not to say he's forgotten like but it would just out hom right out there again.

I owned two of their albums way back then (Might still do somewhere). This would be the best thing ever. Make it happen

[shoptildrop]

Will had a few decent tunes, I'd be there for an afternoon singalong

[kalifire]

Is it still considered a guilty pleasure to be a Will Smith fan, or has the rest of the world realised he makes solid rap-pop music, yet? Either way, it would take one almighty clash for me not to be front-ish and centre, muttering along.
