I didn't think that was possible Yes, big respect indeed but, Dunno, add in the collaboration they did with sparks a few years back FFS, described on google as a Supergroup!! 2015 JP tent they were good. ?. Anyone with money to burn willing to put a grand on Franz headlining to Displace Kendrick and Swift as the bookies favs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy Lawn Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Right, lads, I've got some outside names that nobody's mentioned yet. The Ordinary Boys The Fratellis Now before you scoff at me, remember that a good half of the Glastonbury crowd is over 30, and even your nan knows Chelsea Dagger. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I just checked the bookies' odds - Franz Ferdinand currently below Shergar and Lord Lucan as potential Pyramid headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotdash79 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Has anyone said Shed Seven? they are playing Leeds arena, so should be able to pull at least 130,000 at the Pyramid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you reread the post you’ll see I called them outsiders, said they’d need a leg up and said that relative to the foals/RHCP chat they are worth a mention. I find it interesting to think outside the box sometimes, you should all try it. Besides it’s not really that outlandish, if theres a dearth or potential headliners, which there is. At the end of the day, a solid half of Glastonbury goers are 30+. The libertines subbed in 2015, the crowd was serious and they were brilliant. They had a big impact on British pop culture during the 2000s and made their own legend. Pete Doherty is a household name, partly for the wrong reasons but still, even your nan knows him. They would pull a big crowd again, and they’d put on a show. Of that I’m fairly certain. So maybe I’m thinking wrong because I’m thinking of the actual gig, how many would be there and the show - the only thing the libertines would maybe not do as much as others mentioned is get that many people to watch on the telly. Is that what the headliner slots are for? I'd offer you a spade but I don't think you need it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to see them at Bluedot this year, for the first time. They were exceptionally dull and would die on their arses if they headlined the Pyramid. Yes their legacy and influence is unmatched but as a live act, they were boring. Hot Chip and New Order were far, far, far better than Kraftwerk were.
