None of them respond to tweets. they're one of the most quiet and illusive bands I swear, their Latitude show last year was so unexpected, as was their glasto date this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Name me one headlines since Metallica who you think drew a smaller crowd than radiohead will. Not saying that's how it should be. Just the reality these days. I think they'll outdraw Muse. Half way through their set I moved to get a drink and watch from half way back and it was dead as fuck back there (in line with the left-hand side entrance to the Pyramid field). Was busier for Madness and TLSP the following day in the same part of the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, along with it looking like it's a one off gig, implies to me that they're closing a stage or pyramid sub. Nothing lower. This! It's a complete exclusive too, Radiohead is the only one they'd sub as they don't have to do it at all, then or The XX in those two spots. Katy and Biffy could swap but if Lorde is Saturday then Lorde into Perry isn't happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muse were on year 2 of an album they had already toured in this country. Radiohead wont pull a monumental crowd, but I think it will be pretty big. I was at Underworld last year and was surprised how busy it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpdow2 Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 So with everyone thinking Radiohead won't get a big crowd when do you think you would need to head over to the Pyramid to get a good spot for them. I was assuming I would have to watch the sub even if I didn't want to but now I am thinking I could just head over in the break between the sub and pyramid. There will be undoubtedly somebody else I want to see when the pyramid sub is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never turn up and see the sub just to get a good spot, just try and get there as the sub is finishing and the crowd is starting to churn and make your way in.

CaledonianGonzo Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 Nothing wrong with hyping yourself up if you've got the goods to back it up with. There's an honourable tradition of it. That longer stage time thing does seem to maybe place them as a headliner somewhere though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
