Just needs to be a Pyramid sub and not an Other headliner.

I really hope so, it is the perfect slot for her. Good vibes all over!

She is

If she clashes with GnR or Reg then I'm going to become the Harley Quinn.

Is this a new bit of intel?

That sounds extremely definite

Can’t wait for this!!

Thought there was info that she’s 3rd down on the Saturday?

Neil had info both her and Capaldi were on the Saturday, presumably the Pyramid, and unsure of which order they’d be in. I personally think Lizzo will be subbing, if only to get a female in those top few spots and because her show will be a much bigger party starter than Capaldi’s bore-a-thon, but can see the argument for Capaldi being the bigger act so getting the sub slot. Not sure if there’s been further info to put Lizzo firmly as the sub.

Lewis Capaldi is defo a bore-a-thon. Really hoping that Lizzo subs!! 🤞🏼 Even better...GnR cancel last minute and she makes it to the top! 🥳 

[NorthernSoul52]

Question if Lizzo is on site - does she do any cameos outside of her own set?

He's not there, naturally, but would peg her as a likely guest for a Harry Styles performance.

Given Hazza won't be there I dunno if it's worth pondering over.

Could bizarrely see her popping up with Elton, if there is no Dua Lipa spot. Unlikely, but not implausible.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Suspect Reg wi be rolling out the red carpet for Kiki Dee.

[NorthernSoul52]

You'd hope so. No offence to Lizzo, but Kiki Dee the GOAT of guest options for big Reg.

Unless he can get a mandrill to hold up a lion cub.

So many nineties kids are going to be gutted to sit through two hours of wall-to-wall bangers and not get anything from The Lion King.

Probably cos he could stand to swap out something like Take Me To The Pilot for Hakuna Matata.

[NorthernSoul52]

Take Me to the Pilot over Hakuna Matata for me, I have to say.

Anyway, should probably spin that chat back to the Elton John thread.

We missed Lizzo last timeout and regretted it when speaking to others that night who had seen her.  don’t want to repeat that so hopefully no serious clashes. Pyramid sub would be ideal.

Can't help feeling it's one of those bookings that will ensure the best vibes for those there for a good time.

That's quite an odd flow from her to them isn't it? Presumably that's been discussed ad infinitum?

Yeah it’s a strange one, but I suppose every once in a while the festival can’t book the perfect sub/headliner pairings and can only book certain acts when they’re available. I imagine a large portion of that crowd won’t stick around for GnR after Lizzo has finished.

[NorthernSoul52]

Guns 'n' Roses will fascinate me if only to see how they hold the attention through a potential mid-set lull.

Surely they'll have to know they need to calibrate their normal run?

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.
