Would make more sense. It may have been great and they may want to kick things off in the same way next year but that can be done just as easily on Other, where stuff gets repeated all the time. I don't really see them wanting to repeat the exact same thing on the Pyramid at the following festival, unless it's going to be a massively different show.

The Hacienda bloke reckons Emily told him they got the biggest ever crowd for a Pyramid opener.

It's usually some random choir or ballet or whatever. In the 4 years I've been going the only act I remember opening the Pyramid other than Hacienda Classical is the Syrian Orchestra with Damon Albarn. Edit: Oh Rolf Harris did it? I doubt they got a bigger crowd than he did. Edited January 11, 2019 by Gucci Piggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I thought the Hacienda lot would have worked better on a smaller stage later on, when eveyone’s mashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewayiam Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 On the Janelle Monae subject, given she has only 1 day between doing the Sunday and then London, Dublin and Manchester, I could potentially see her doing the Saturday night to give herself two nights off before the tour starts which would also put Macca back on Sunday and The Cure on Saturday where Neil I believe thinks they will be. It doesn't stop a clash on Saturday night on Other with The Chemical Brothers though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is she the new Macca? Soon we won't be able to have anyone who's got another show the week of Glasto cos they'll need to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
