FloorFiller Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Pumpkins headlining Other one night would be awesome (assuming it'd be Stormzy night). Them on the Pyramid would also be great although I imagine they wouldn't get the best crowd there, especially if they're on before Liam G and Stormzy. Didn't think they were at all a possibility so pleased that it looks like it could happen (and I won't make the same stupid mistake of missing them this time). Just keep the new stuff to a bare minimum aye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was ready to throttle the two twats in front of me at Radiohead who spent the first half of the set loudly complaining about the lack of hits. It got infinitely better after the fucked off.

He’s played Glastonbury twice (and agreed to play it another time) and none of them were headline slots. WPC’s ego is fed by an adoring crowd rather than good pay - the last time he was boasting about how he ‘showed the other bands not to fuck with the Smashing Pumpkins’ or some w*nk so I can see him being happy to come back.

VCK Posted November 28, 2018 Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) Yeah, they subbed the Other Stage in 2013 so it's not as if he'd give a shit about being moved up a slot. They're also subbing Download too. I think the whole "Billy Corgan's ego" thing is a tad overexaggerated anyway. Pumpkins, The Streets and The Prodigy would be a very solid set of headliners.

deadpheasant Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Billy Corgan's European solo tour runs from 17th-25th June with a final date on 8th July. Baring in mind Pumpkins are doing Open'er on 4th July I feel it's very likely that there might be some sort of appearance at Glastonbury this year.

Not an exclusive at Download and would be perfect for the Friday rock slot so really hoping this is a goer despite his earlier comments about having a gap between legs of the tour. Even with the inevitable couple of new songs they’d play the setlist would be wall to wall bangers (to me, anyway... I’m sure a large portion of the crowd would be pretty indifferent). We had any other likely candidates for this slot pop up or are these a new front runner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SP are on hols during Glastonbury time so we're only getting Billy if anything. He might just be acoustic too. I'd love SP but just can't see it happening in the middle of a solo tour.

Zoo Music Girl Posted March 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'd potentially be up for a bit of Billy doing acoustic Pumpkins numbers, even if he is a bit of a knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
