But it's not gonna happen this year unfortunately Wishful thinking on my part but you never know..... Was my first Glasto in 2017 and never got to see a pyramid headliner. I`m into the the more heavier type of music and still cursing them putting the Dead Kennedys on at the same time as The Foo Fighters last year haha.

Because some members that nobody really cares about rejoined? You do know they subbed the Other stage in 2013. I know Pumpkins fans think this lineup is a bigger deal, but it's not that much bigger. To be honest, I'm not sure it warrants a different slot at all. They're not going to close the Pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I`m not really a huge Pumpkins fan however you cant deny they have a huge back catalogue of very good songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they do, but they were subbing Other in 2013. Their back catalogue hasn't improved since then. It's a huge jump to the top slot.

The sub who got the longer slot than the headliner, and proceeded to overrun and shorten the headliner to just under an hour. Your team lost - get over it!

I know lots of people say that they were the real headliner of Other that night, the slltst only swapped because the xx needed the dark, but that seemed like bollocks at the time. I wasn't at the festival, but watching on the telly it felt like headliners were definitely the last band that played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however think they could pull off the Pyramid slot. As others have said though, it wont happen. Only mentioning it due to the media attention i`ve seen since they have got back together.

Yeah it doesn't really matter at Glastonbury because they don't need to market the acts in any sorta way, they just stick them on the poster and have done with it. I thought you were baiting those peeps like you have done in the past so I was just playing up to it.

FatAmmy Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Total pipe dream, would never happen, but I just read an article about how the Grateful Dead could have played Glasto in 1971 or 1972, and wouldn't it be cool if they brought in the current incarnation for the 50th? John Mayer has played the fest before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Tickled at the thought of Papa Pumpy headlining the Pyramid, screeching about rats and snails in his Witch Hazel voice whilst dressed like a rejected cenobite.

jparx Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I don't think Pumpkins would look out of place headlining the Other but i fear Corgan would want bigger slots at festivals than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see them maybe headlining Other but jumping to headline Pyramid seems mad in 5 years with, as you say, just a different line-up. Would love them to be there though. They surprised us last time so you never know... Edited October 17, 2018 by Zoo Music Girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Let me tell you that non-existent Billy Corgan & The Lads are a v good band, and the only reason they wouldn't be booked to headline is that the festival has failed to cultivate lineups which attract a discerning audience and shown absolutely no interest at all in combatting the ill-efects of chemtrails on festival attendees.

CaledonianGonzo Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 It's only a conspiracy devised by the liberal elites and the MSM that's preventing them from closing the Pyramid on the Saturday night. Q told me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 I know it's dangerous taking Michael's comments as gospel, but I'd be surprised if he mentioned 2/3 of the bands haven't headlined before and we end up with not only three repeat headliners, but The Cure and AM have a staggering 5 headline slots between then already. It's all just speculation until something more concrete comes through but i expect the final headliner to be a newcomer. I'm sure they wouldn't turn down AM if they had the chance because they're a big safe bet, but I have to think they would try for something fresh first.
