I for one loved Maroon 5’s Halftime Show, one of the all time greats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Telephone Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 1 hour ago, StupidDream said: @The Red Telephone To keep you busy, may be interesting to look at the age of headliners or number of albums put out, as these are also parameters often discussed. Plus, The Thingy might be interested in statistics I started to look at ages/ albums, but realised my son hadn’t been fed for a few days. I think Ash and Coldplay are the only acts to headline after releasing one album. Strictly speaking though, Ash weren’t booked as headliners - they only did it because Steve Winwood’s gear got stuck in the mud and he couldn’t get there. Sure Ash played on the Friday somewhere, stuck around for the rest of the weekend and got asked to fill in as Pyramid headliners. Also think 1997 was the youngest average age of headliners (Radiohead, The Prodigy, Ash) Would imagine The Who, The Stones and Stevie Wonder have made this decade one of the oldest averages.

zak14 Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Going back to the topic of artists at their creative and commercial peak, although he's more likely an other headliner or pyramid sub, I'd definitely put forward Childish Gambino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddRon Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I thought Depeche Mode were really good but I was so ill and worn out that I had to sit down for the songs I didn't know too well, but seeing Personal Jesus, World In My Eyes, Never Let Me Down Again, Just Can't Get Enough and Enjoy The Silence was great. I'd never listened to them other than Personal Jesus really until they got announced for Mad Cool so as an entry level fan I thought they did a good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's a festival. Play the hits and piss off". Saw him a few weeks back and he could do with following his own advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that excuses things somewhat, seeing that Young Fathers are the very finest group that our humble planet is currently home to.

thisisthesam Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 REM have shared footage of their 1999 Pyramid performance. https://www.glastofestfeed.com/latest/news/rem-share-rare-footage-glastonbury-1999-pyramid-stage-performance/ A sign perhaps?

Young - Springsteen - Blur for oldest? The Stones had AMs and Mumfords their year which would have brought the average age down significantly, likewise the Who with Kanye and Florence. KOL - Jay-Z - The Verve must have been quite young too. Edited October 11, 2018 by Hugh Jass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, they seem to be split up for good. I wonder if it's because they (on the face of it) parted amicably and on their own terms, there's no sense of unfinished business or desire to give it one last go. They certainly don't seem the types to chase the reunion money either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Telephone Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Artisitc merits aside, and I don’t particularly like this song, has there ever been such a gaping difference in the quality of singing from one half of a song to the other?

chemica Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Very odd looking at the latest bookies prices here. Stormzy and Fleetwood Mac at 1/3?????? Macca is 5/4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
