Janet Jackson Headlining?

I was there for both and they got huge crowds. Skunk Anansie were a surprise headliner in some ways from what I remember but they were pretty big in the mid to late 90s and their performance went over well. As did Travis's set, especially with their cover of 'Hit Me Baby One More Time'. I always remember the crowd being so big for Travis that as I slowly walked along a path to the side of the Pyramid, someones tent kept getting knocked by us shuffling zombies and the guy inside got so mad about it that he started screaming and shouting at everyone from his zipped up tent and then began punching it to the great delight of everyone. Ahh Glastonbury 2000, a truly special one that was!

Fair play, it's all about how you enjoy it at the time for me anyway.

Not to your taste obviously, but pretty much electronic music acts play very little of it live (including the likes of The Chems, Orbital etc). There a few like Faithless who make a good effort at it but most are just twiddling knobs for the cameras.

I'd still take Craig David over half the shit that's been on the Pyramid over the years - Mumfords, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Florence etc. At least he doesn't make me want to start self-harming.

 

I understand the usual 'live' electronic acts or what a decent DJ does. This wasn't either. I was referring to the "DJ" set he did in the middle of his usual live set.

I was vaguely enjoying is live set with his, admittedly very good, musicians. But half way through they walked off and he then started to talk about/ promote his own TS5 nights. He then didn't even beat match but just pressed play on a few obvious crowd pleasing, wedding dance floor shite (Jump around, Show me love etc). It was pathetic.

There's a worrying amount of anger here directed at what was essentially a fun yet disposable afternoon set.

I pray to every god there is, that it’s not true.

I'm hardly a massive Janet Jackson fan but off the top of my head - Got 'til It's Gone, Together Again, Scream, That's The Way Love Goes... Maybe I'm just old.

Probably wouldn't go to see her as I don't do the pyramid headliners often but rather her than The Strokes! I mean..... The Strokes?

This is my personal favourite.

The info says she’s playing the Sunday and Janelle Monáe is headlining WH that day. She’ll definitely be on the Pyramid if she’s there and definitely not headlining.

For the record, I'd like to point out that Joni Mitchell never lies.

I really enjoyed it CD, decent placement for him too. I doubt I would for a Janet Jackson set.

Fair one. One of the reasons I came off Twitter. Too many angry people

I get very angry on Twitter. However 99.99% of that anger is usually directed at South West Trains.

That's how I approach real life as well as Glastonbury life.

I'd see Janet but obviously shes not headlining guys. She WAS a massive pop star, but stormzy the cure and janet Jackson would be a ridiculous trio for so many reasons. Not happening.

Wish it was still South West Trains! Much better than the new Franchise!

Loving the mad/some of will be right rumours this year bring enhanced all sorts of random tv/radio people, is there usually this many?

There’s no way she’s headlining, but as an early evening Pyramid act right after Kylie? Sign me up. No different than Ellie Goulding, Shakira, Paloma Faith, Katy Perry etc before her.

There's no way she would perform there if she's not a headliner. She's too big for that. Janet headlined several festivals in 2018, and she's still on the tour that started in 2015, so it's not like that she desperately needs this.

and there's no way she'd have ever performed at Glastonbury as a headliner, even at her peak.

So if what you say is right she ain't playing at all.

Okay, then she won't perform. No big deal.

Joined twelve hours ago, did you JaNeTS Representative in Britain? Welcome to the boards! ?

[CaledonianGonzo]

When cupcaKKe says 'I'd rather ride Squidward Nose' she's clearly influenced by Janet musing about riding a guy's 'nice package' in All For You.

Haha, no. But I am a fan and I know what she would accept and what she wouldn't. You guys know more about Glastonbury and I know more about Janet, so when we combine our knowledge the answer is no. She's not performing.

[MetaKate]

Well I'm glad we got that sorted! Thanks everyone, very good effort here. No need to continue.

I suspect she might be, but would have a mid-afternoon slot if she is.

Whatever you might think her position is, that would be her real-world position in the UK today.

Has their been specific info on day? Noticed that EE mentioned on the Ezra Podcast about these massive American acts who come and play Saturday afternoon
