K2SO Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Gotta be honest, the Kendrick thing kinda baffles me. I honestly had no idea he was big enough to be considered a Pyramid headliner. I always assumed he was a 3rd down or Other headliner kind of act Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not have the big well known singles, but he’s definitely a headliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprefan Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I just hope there is no Aerosmith at all. I mean, theyre just doing vegas like santana is doing now. They just want the easy paycheck. And dont they want a break after their current vegas run ends anyway? and how is it coming to the conclusion that the 1975 wont end up as an Other Stage headliner when its a wide open race as to who the 3rd headliner will be? Would they really go with 3 headliners that are barely 30 years old and look more towards the future in that aspect and just make the 10 acts below be all older and longer tenured, be the foundation of the undercard and an homage to 50 years?

Calvin Klein Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I saw Kendrick at our Lollapalooza back in April. Amazing set, although I think you have to know his songs to enjoy it. And make sure to be close to the stage. DNA was one of the best show openers I've seen. Not a show for casuals I'm afraid. If he plays, I'll be there for sure. Only a couple other artists would make me miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostdancer1 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I like Kendrick on record, but he's not particularly great live these days IMO. Saw him on the GKMC tour which was good but every time since then, it's been dull and he's basically been phoning it in. The video from him headlining Reading is just bad. An hour long set and he seems like he can barely be arsed on most of the songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would own the pyramid and a huge number of festival goers would love to see him. Exciting that the other stage could also have a possible pyramid headliner playing at the same time. The clashfinder will be working overtime next summer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwedgeAntilles Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 I saw Kendrick in Glasgow last year and, tbh, it was just OK. It wasn't helped by factors outwith his control (didn't sell out, not the greatest outdoor venue) but it was over pretty quickly and I can't say it was overly memorable. I'm sure a Pyramid headline spot would be a different situation but I'll be keeping my expectations in check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all horses for courses, I think you definitely need to know all his albums to get a lot out of it but, that said, I saw him headline Leeds last year and the show he put on (and the crowd) were amazing, I don't necessarily think he'll be the headliner but I think he definitely *could* be the headliner.

FWN came out a few months before and they played a good chunk of tunes off it I stand corrected (there's no need to shout @GrumpyRaver) Was thinking that they'd only dropped a couple of EPs but now you mention it I can remember thinking that FWN was not as good as I wanted it to be after hearing the Brianstorm EP (Cue Dizzee Rascal and his non working mic).

Matt42 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) Did Kendrick play for longer than an hour at Coachella? If he is hell bent on only playing for an hour maybe it would make sense to slot another biggish band before him? KENDRICK LAMAR. 22:45 - 23:45 FOALS. 20:30 - 21:45 Would be quite cool. A sub with a light show is something I think Glasto misses out on quite often. Edited November 1, 2019 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 Who cares if a headliner is any good live, its all about arguing how good they look on the line-up poster. They play for 2 hours of the year, we argue about it for the other 8,758 hours. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering why you were absent the whole of yesterday. Emily has confirmed that the two headliners that have been booked have never played at the festival before.
