He’ll be too ill by June

[Tie on hat.]

I think it'll be Lynard Skynyrd, they're in the UK and free on the friday, lovely afternoon sing along to sweet home Alabama and the obvious Freebird on the pyramid.

I thought I saw Ozzy announce a tour this week?

you saw him announce cancelling a tour this week.

The Cult? 

They're doing fests and headlining one night at Bearded. They'd draw a crowd for 'she sells sanctuary' alone I reckon. 

Def Leppard would be great too.. Suspend your cynicism and remember it was the 80s and anything went. 

Hawkwind should of course be given a permanent pyramid slot at any time they like due to their long association with the festival from its earlier days. Won't happen though.

Great to see the Saxon love on this thread. Last album was a cracker and they still have got it live. Sometimes this forum really does surprise you.

Genuinely intrigued to see who gets lined up for this spot.

After all these great shouts and proper hair rock legends it’ll most definitely be someone contemporary and shit. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

So far they're 2 for 3. Great shouts for Motorhead and ZZ Top, then Royal Blood, came along, whose photo resides under the dictionary definition of 'old w*nk'.

[John the Moth]

I’d be well up for The Cult ?

[Hotchilidog]

Scorpions doing the rounds this year,  (i’m Seeing them twice), but I guess only the godawful Winds of Change is their biggest hit with h general public. One of those Scorps gig is with Toto, how about Africa making it’s Pyramid debut?

[HeyPorter]

Sod it get Hayseed Dixie on it who’ll do a cover of every act mentioned.

Yeah, that's my take on it too.

Nah what if it’s Greta Van Fleet?

[CaledonianGonzo]

[CaledonianGonzo]

Giving some Whitesnake deep cuts a spin now lads. Not convinced yet.

[dentalplan]

I see she’s dropped the laptop too many times.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Cos she was doing the hippy hippy shake to the Black Smoke Rising EP.

Their late 70’s/early 80’s incarnation had some jams, but that all went when they went down the hair metal route to great success stateside

TENACIOUS D

Conversely I've just put on Hysteria and it still owns.

Yes, my wife is away this weekend. Why do you ask?

Seems the most likely choice imo.

I bet the neighbours wish they were away too. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

They'll take Joe Elliott asking "I suppose a rock's out of the question?" at full volume and they'll like it.
