Most years there are no Pyramid headliners to my taste - or perhaps more accurately, there are things on elsewhere that I prefer. Some years the stars align and I get one. This year, for the first time ever, there could well be two. INext year will be my 9th festival. Of the 8 fests so far, I have seen 7 out of a possible 24 Pyramid headliners. Not seen 1 since 2014 (when I saw all 3). Looking forward to seeing McCartney. Regardless of the fact the Pyramid headliners clearly don't worry me for my enjoyment, there is something special about seeing one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazwwe Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 Headliners on the Pyramid, 2019: 0 2017: 2, 2016: 1 2015: 0, 2014: 2 (first year) 5/15 and this year, depending on if its K.dot and if there's no one amazing to clash I'll be seeing all 3.

I stuck a bit of money on Taylor after ME’s comments, short odds but she now seems totally nailed on. Paddy Power still taking bets on it.

I've wracked my brains and I think it's 14 festivals I've done (94,97,98,99,00,08,09,10,11,13,15,16,17,19), so a potential 42* Pyramid headliners. To the best of my memory I've watched 8. *41 actually, as I didn't get to the 2000 festival until Saturday morning and I would have watched the Chemical Bros the night before. I also saw Bowie that weekend, so that year could have been my first Pyramid double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone got it straight away? Thousands of pages, but it was done in 5 mins!?! 2016 someone got them really early (I thought it was you FD?), I'd called the same 3 on Twitter in the weeks following the 2015 festival but someone on here definitely beat me to it.

Quite mad really, other than Legends and headliners I don’t think I’ve actually spent much time at the Pyramid over the years; usually bands lower down I want to see wouldn’t carry themselves very well on that stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also kinda wish I'd seen Metallica....but there was no way any of my mates were keen. I think we went for a tent based pick me up and the default Fatboy Slim option instead. It was great ?

I did get them right early one year. I must admit, I didn't realise it was as early as that! I thought it was Radiohead, Foos, Sheeran that I got right though? Then again, Radiohead were announced very early. Edited November 24, 2019 by FuzzyDunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree with you, it’s an outdated perspective that should be consigned to the history books. As an aside this podcast helped change my view on pop music permanently: https://switchedonpop.com. The episode looking at Into You blew my mind. Max Martin is a genius. Yeah I think we are slowly moving out of a generation where you aren’t allowed to like pop.. “because we said so”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
