CaledonianGonzo Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Similarly, I never bothered my arse to go see her live. In retrospect a bit of a faux pas. The clip of her performance in Gimme Shelter is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick two year turnaround between TPAB and DAMN so fingers crossed it's the same next time round and he's booked to headline for his next album. Would be a great booking for the festival (alongside, im assuming, two more standard/traditional headliners aka Arctic Monkeys + a biggie).

BlackHole2006 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Would be well chuffed if he headlined. I wonder how long it'll take for someone to start up a poll because he uses the word 'bitch' in his songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I pray my dick get big as the ribbon tower, so I can fuck the Pyramid field for a respectable headliner set length of somewhere in the region of 1 hour 45 to 2 and a quarter hours 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the crucial part, he has to have a follow up to DAMN! out before the next Glasto to have any chance of headlining, the positive thing is he's a workaholic in terms of making music. Still think R&L will grab him as a headliner next year and then Glasto won't bother with him in 2019, hope I'm wrong as I'm a massive K.Dot fan so I'd love him to headline Glasto one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it but still have songs that haven't grabbed me yet, like FEAR and GOD. It's also his most commercial sounding album IMO. My breakthrough with the album was actually going old school and reading the lyrics, like you would back in the days of vinyl and cds, there's so much he's trying to say on this album you can sometimes miss the points he's trying to make, but written down in front of you you can really see what a stunning wordsmith he is. The lyrics for XXX are incredible in print Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coincidental plan Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Kendrick, Arctics and 1 naff headliner with King Gizz headlining The Park on the same night would do me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willutalk Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Is Kendrick big enough to headline? I saw him at Reading, a thought he was ace, but headline? Not a hell of a lot of household/recognisable tunes for the masses. Could be a super strong sub Booking a rapper to headline the Pyramid can be hit or miss, subbing the Pyramid and you know you're in for a smashing set. saying that, all could change in the 700 odd days between now and 2019, and I could be wrong about asking that initial question too. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 I'm not sure DAMN. is doing the requisite amount to push him to headline status. Unless 2018 brings a new album with bigger singles or a massively successful headline slot at a UK festival (that isn't Wireless) then I don't think it's forthcoming.

nikkic Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Agree with this. Whilst I think he could and probably should, he maybe just doesn't have enough #bangers to put himself in the frame. Hope he gets a shot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the one hand I wish they'd gamble on booking him before he goes super-commercial because I know he'd nail it, on the other hand I cba putting up with months of his booking being scorned at to the point it's almost socially unacceptable to call yourself a fan. But then again, going by the reactions to every recent time a POC has been booked to headline, the latter would probably happen whether he had gallons of hits or not.. idk.

BlackHole2006 Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 DAMN is one of the biggest selling and critically acclaimed albums of 2017. To Pimp A Butterfly received praise beyond the wildest dreams of any band around today. Kendrick Lamar has won a total of seven Grammy awards, including 2 for best rap song and best rap performance. He has also headlined one of the biggest festivals in the United States. Coachella. He's big enough to headline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. I'm not saying it wouldn't come with a risk and the reactions to him headlining, if he is booked would definitely be mixed. He is one of the most critically acclaimed & respected artists to come out this decade and I just think he deserves that leg up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, he's immensely talented and acclaimed and his stuff is about what's going on in the world right now which makes it a perfect booking for the time we're in and if any relatively new act should be headlining I'd say it should be him. However I don't think leg ups are that easily available and if he's gonna get there he's still got some way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
