I could be wrong though Prince pulled out due to the Kanye backlash. Edit: which I thought I’d read somewhere but which now I can’t find.

Hutchmaster Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 In my own uninformed opinion, I really think the third act will be female centric. With it being all blokes in 2017 and female representation in festivals still a hot topic, I can't see them going for all meat and veg headliners again if they can avoid it. It just comes down to who? Florence back as a "proper" headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyDunlop Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Taylor Swift wouldn't surprise me. Ill be shocked if AM are not 1 headliner. Safe option for the crew who believe "HEADLINER MUST BE A ROCK N ROLL INDIE BAND OR EVERYONE DIES*" *not sure if they say everyone dies, but they shout a lot. Stormzy seems right to me. Im not a fan of his tunes, but I like him. He seems like a good guy who has the right kind of morals for me. Tries to help where he can too. I wouldn't be there, but I hope he gets the gig.

It's understandable though, it is the centrepiece of the whole festival. I wonder how many new attendees the festival attracts by TV coverage alone, which is predominantly main stage-based. I'm sure that most would agree that apart from the occasional special headliner, the majority of our favourite moments are experienced beyond that Pyramid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Theres also plenty on the Pyramid that's not all *that* mainstream. I saw RTJ, Orchestra Baobab and Kris Kristofferson on it last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mardy Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 Patti Smith on the Pyramid was one of the best things i’ve ever seen, and all the better for being on that stage, shoving it right in the faces of the blanket brigade 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY Times on it below https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/23/theater/patti-smith-words-and-music-review.html Quite a weekend it was in NY for legends. Patti Smith Sat-Mon doing her thing, Paul Simon finishing up his career with a big outdoor park finale for about 40-50,000 on Saturday (after Thurs/Fri gigs at Madison Square Garden), and even Joan Baez played 2 shows in Fri/Sat in a famed venue Beacon Theatre on her own farewell tour. It looks like Baez finishes up things in May in NY after an earlier Euro jaunt in the year..but you never know...- i think she did Glasters in '08? did she ever play it prior in old days??

I had a similar at Beautiful Days watching MikArtistik shouting at a toddler wearing a bollocks to brexit sticker that he was an unthinking tool of the left. The crowd was very confused, and the toddler continued to give precisely zero fucks, as is the wont of toddlers everywhere.
