They’ll most likely only get 2 hours instead of their usual 3 so that’s a full hour of the usual lulls or lesser known stuff to cut out and keep it to an Appetite-heavy banger filled set.

That's what I'm thinking. Mocked up a setlist a few months ago somewhere. Might have to dig it up.

Still think they need Lizzo up to flute through November Rain though.

Hope Lizzo plays this on the Pyramid, it goes off and ushers in Rammstein getting the headliner nod in the next few years:

LIzzo bringing Nova Twins on stage for a cover of Du Hast. Boom!

Am I a bad person for wondering how much Axl Rose jumps around on stage, let's say like Dave Grohl?

As '4th headliner' will she get her full touring set with something a bit more than a usual sub would?

Fingers crossed full touring set.

Such a good booking, gonna be such a fun party of a set! Very very excited to say the least - she puts on such a great show.

[MEGABOWL]

That 2019 set on WH was absolutely brilliant. Anything close to that will be superb.

Elton aside, biggest crowd of the weekend.

Zero chance Cat will - gonna have a notably smaller crowd than any of the Sunday legends of the last decade aside from perhaps ELO.

You’re massively overestimating the appeal of Cat Stevens to the average punter. A large percentage of the attendees won’t even know who he is.

i'm thinking to my generation, and the generations a bit older, he's a can't miss, expect all the stallholders to be there.

I'm your generation and I won't be anywhere near him.

I’m 55 and it will be the first “ legend “ since I’ve been going in 2009 that I will miss.

200,000 music fans, he should appeal to all of them unless they have a void in their listening.

Why?

Different strokes for different folks. There are plenty of musicians out there whose talent I recognise, but I don't enjoy their music.

Here's another take: Everyone likes different music and some people just don't like Cat Stevens  🤷‍♀️. That doesn't make them an idiot, or mean that they have an unsophisticated musical palate.

Back to the topic at hand... I reckon Lizzo will have one of the biggest crowds of the weekend. I remember watching her 2019 set on the beeb afterwards and being gutted I'd missed it. There with bells on!

it means they have an incomplete musical palate. a surprise for people who otherwise love their music.

 true, but lots of those folk have gone back into the past to find older acts, its surprising cat isn't amongst those older acts.

Lizzo for me, depends on who's subbing LDR.
