Best lineup in the last 10 years?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I went to see Sigrid last spring and got stopped at the door by the bouncers cos they thought I was at the wrong gig.

Personally 2017 was best for me in all the years I've been. Some of my fave artists there that year. 2009 also comes pretty close though.

Nice trolling.

I'm really happy with it. Really chuffed about Snow Patrol  - long overdue. Lots of women this year which is nice but I'm craving some serious rock and there's not much there at the moment. I was also hoping for some massive dance acts like Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia - maybe on the next poster?

Sheryl Crow (who I, when I'm drunk, keep accidentally calling Sheryl Cole) seems to have widely tipped for playing?  Why was that?  

If you mean before the drop, I have no idea. If you mean today, it's cos  she's on the poster.

[uscore]

If it helps, I have seen the poster.

Cos it lined up with other dates she was doing, she's played before and she's fucking ace.

 

Anyway, best lineup was 2014. Carry on.

You mean like Chemical Brothers?

I saw her last night, she eh, well, supported george Ezra at the hydro.  Loads of kids there, which got me thinking that our george could sub basil brush in the kids field. By the way, george wasn’t bad, he has decent backing musicians and the deedle deedle dum dum songsdid go down well. Place was packed, standing and sitting areas. Sigrid is quite a talent.

The best headliners day across the site in recent memory is Sunday 2011....

Beyonce / QOTSA / Kool and the Gang / The Streets / Gruff Rhys

Depends how much of a Cure fan you are I suppose. She's not my bag but Janelle definitely feels like it could be a 'I was there' moment if her career continues on the trajectory it's on. But it's likely the last chance you'll have to see The Cure on the Pyramid. 

Although the Chems are my preference if you can wait until 2023 they'll probably be back again.

As a Scotsman living in Sweden I felt personably responsible for a Calvin Harris/SHM double whammy that needed a good memeing

No argument from me!  Strong chance I'll be at this one.

Maybe you should consider Creamfields, who have both on UK exclusive deals

Personally I'm gonna see if there's any time overlap, hopefully see a bit of Janelle then mosey on over to the Other for the start of the Chemical Brothers. Hopefully.

This is also my problem. Am leaning towards Janelle. Am in total agreement re the thread btw - I'm still absolutely buzzing. Last time out there was literally 2 acts I wanted to see and here there is 10! I absolutely love seeing a woman up on the stage, it really inspires me - I only used to get it from Patti but this year it is going to be wall to wall. <fashions pink costume for Janelle>

YES! Janelle, Lauryn, Lizzo, Kylie, Janet, Santigold, Miley!! Some bad ass women on that lineup. It feels so good.

Honestly the more I look the better it gets and the deeper the clash fears become!

I'm very happy with the line up so far. It's a good mix up of acts. 

[Wooderson]

Strongest female line up this year which is very exiting. Atmos around the place will be brill.

Looks like it's my day for getting owned.

Though when I went to see Tony Bennett I was the only one there who wasn't coffin-dodging old gammon, so I guess it balances out.

I had that for Planty at the RAH. Felt very odd. No queues for the women's loos though.
