There's plenty of reason to take exception with The Rolling Stones for their tax evasion/Under My Thumb/Stray Cat Blues, Metallica for their bear hunting, The Who for the child porn on Pete Townshend'

For my own entertainment (I am an extremely sad man) I decided to have a look at the festival headliners over the past few years and see if any trends/ patterns emerge with the type of acts booked….ev

LMFAO....because Gimme All Your Loving is a great credible rock song!

I mean, my point was that the acts who've played that slot are heavier rock acts who you'd catch playing Download and stuff. The other acts people have predicted to follow on from them next year (Iggy Pop, Whitesnake and others) also fit that heavier rock label. Beach Boys could play third down Pyramid on the Friday, sure, but it's hardly a continuation of the "Friday evening heavier rock band" thing we've had over the last few years.

Not sure how much of a thing that Friday rock slot is - 2 years of ‘classic’ rock followed by Royal Blood.

Yeah I'm not saying it's defo a thing and that Beach Boys can't play that position. I'm saying that if they do play it it's not them doing the "Friday night rock slot" it's just Beach Boys playing Glastonbury in a random slot.

Amen to that.... and at least he sits in the right camp... rather than with that bar steward Love..

I never really got on with Jeff Foskett's voice, was very surprised when I heard he'd switched sides. Apparently was sick of being Brian's babysitter, although he put it much more nicely than that. Nice chap, but voice nowhere near as good as Matt.

I saw Brian Wilson last summer and it was one of the best gigs I've ever been to tbh. A lot of that is down to.the band, I don't THINK Brian even attempted to play his keys but it worked and it was ace, they would tear up the pyramid, be an absolute party.

There have been afternoon slots by Kris Kristofferson and Burt Bacharach in the last few years, no pattern but would suit a Beach Boys/ Brian Wilson type show

This is what I was thinking. 4th down slot on the Pyramid...great singalong in the afternoon. They can only play Friday and and although random from UK to France and back to Germany, it gives them a perfect time to play in that slot before moving on.
