ivan Posted December 6, 2018 Report Share Posted December 6, 2018 Still baffling me. Every act I come up with I think they would be more suited to Ramblin Man or Download. I think the best I can come up with to fit Beardy would be Dinosaur Jnr , who are excellent live and were brilliant at EOTR a few years back , but not sure they would be the stellar headliner .

Same here. Then the Pixies came on my headphones and I thought 'OOoh...hello!'. Can't see it but that would be immense...they were sooo good at Bluedot a couple of years back. Actually, Bluedot is half the capacity of Bearded so maybe its not outside the realms of possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Pixies on the Doolittle tour , what a night we started near the front and by the end of the gig who we found ourselves near the back. It was soo hot and what I remember also is before they came on Black Francis came from the side of the stage in bare feet and checked out the set up on stage ( sort of checking out how much room he had or where he was going to stand ) before wandering back to the dressing room. What I find hard is trying to think what headliner BT would go for . Its far easier guessing them for Glasto , Leeds & Reading etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both It's this bit that is intriguing me (I'm resisting asking for a PM as I'm quite enjoying the speculation). Alice Cooper fits that description better than anyone else I can think of unless it's a Singer and The Backing Band kind of name. Has anyone who's received the PM been able to poo-poo the idea? Love a poo-poo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not speaking as anywhere near an Alice expert or fan ) I reckon he'd have to do the theatrical stuff to keep the casual observer happy but the best I ever saw him was the time he many dispensed with all that stuff and just delivered a killer set list. 45 minutes ago, ivan said: Lord if the Boa when missing I would just abandon my tent and check into the nearest hotel .

Another one I've seen loads of times and was always good despite diminishing album output but I couldn't see him at Bearded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played Cropredy in 2013 (and went down a storm apparently) so I don't doubt that he'd play BT and go down trifficly.
