If it’s Macca, the cure and Artics and most people are accepting that how can we have the usual daft punk rumours, won’t be the same without them

West Holts aside, it generally offers more diversity than any other stage.

Agreed, it's only really from third upwards (plus the legend) that it starts getting "mainstream". During the day there's all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff on there.

You wait until the Prince hologram rumours start...

Can we start a Macca supergroup rumour? I enjoyed the Coldplay one a lot.

What was the origin of the Chris Martin supergroup rumour?

If I recall correctly it was from when we were desperately scrabbling round for headliners in 2015 and the idea of Chris Martin getting a few mates together for a jam was apparently a consideration.

[giantkatestacks]

The origin of the Coldplay one? Ahem. No idea. Wasnt even on the thread at the time. etc etc

Theres also plenty on the Pyramid that's not all *that* mainstream.  I saw RTJ, Orchestra Baobab and Kris Kristofferson on it last year.

I couldn’t really enjoy KKs set - being trained in advanced life support, I genuinely thought I’d be needed on stage at any minute to aid the poor guy.

 

Come to think of it, it was enjoyable at one point - realising I was a better guitar player than Johnny Depp. Despite never attempting to play guitar at any stage of my life.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Aye - but it was one of the most austere and sombre shows ever played on that stage.  I dunno if you could ever really call it mainstream.

At a momentous event like this, surely he's gonna give his old mates a chance to share it with him. Odds of seeing a bearded little chap behind him on drums for a few nostalgic songs? He's been touring with his all-starr band this year

Not Dave Grohl playing with him again.

I was surprised he didn’t have a nurse trailing behind him he kept forgetting his lyrics. He’s is a legend and my grandmas Faveoruite musician so it was a must for me

Looking forward to hearing Thomas the Tank Engine on the Pyramid

He's going to be appearing with Krist Novoselic, Radio Ed O'Brien, Micky Fleetwood and Win Butler as the Be Talls.

Apologies if this has been discussed already or I'm being a div but I've been trying to find the original instagram post that seems to have started the Stormzy rumour but can only find a few articles with screenshots rather than links? Also as far as I can tell Stormzy's official verified Instagram name is just 'stormzy' not 'stormzy official'... so are we sure this is genuine? Did anyone see the actual post on the day if it's been deleted since?

Weird thing about the name; however, instastories disappear after 24 hours anyway.

[marcoolio]

I think Stormzy recently changed the name of his Instagram account.

If you google "stormzy instagram", the top result is @stormzyofficial, but that account currently has 0 messages and only 150 followers.

However, if you google images of "stormzy instagram", there are loads of screencaps from the @stormzyofficial account. Older messages on the current @stormzy account also have replies tagging @stormzyofficial instead. So it seems that @stormzyofficial was the official account until very recently.

 

 

Fuck I'm bored.

I thought it was very touching. Sunday Morning Coming Down was a touchstone song for feeling broken in my twenties. On that basis, frailty fits right in with what I have always got from his music.

Not really entertainment though.
