Macca probably doesn't confirm concerts this far in advance so it may be a case of him not being booked *yet*.

That said, maybe a bad experience this year means that they won't be trying again.

My take is they've been told that Macca won't be touring next year so won't be available to book. Seems to make the most sense.

where is this about KOL and Pilton party? I can’t find it anywhere?

 

I've only read about it on here, so i'm guessing it's info from dee.

Without casting aspersions on dee, info from Pilton is traditionally very shit and wrong - tho I do have a feeling there might be something to this.

It's a long time since a band playing PP got a headline slot tho, so if doing PP is tied to a slot I reckon it's pyramid sub or other headline.

To be fair (as I’ve learned) Pilton info is crap for Glastonbury (especially if it comes from Michael) but there are locals have tended to know the PP headliner fairly reliably. That said KoL doesn’t make much sense to me and those that have tended to know haven’t said anything is sorted yet.

KoL would make sense as they're around at about the right time.

Are KoL really Glastonbury headliners at this point?

Only my view but I don't see them as the force they were 10 years ago. Their first 3 records were very good and will stand the test of time but since then, it's gone a bit south. The headline slot in 2008 was fully deserved. I'd be pretty surprised to see them headline next year

It's probably old new in this thread but what about a supsrgroup for a punt? https://tonedeaf.thebrag.com/pearl-jam-foo-fighters-rhcp-all-star-gig/

Exactly what people were saying about The Killers.

For the record, I don’t think they’ll headline next year, but I also don’t think they couldn’t.

I think the killers have stayed more relevant then KOL, The killers have still pretty much sold out places like BST whilst KOL struggled to sell 25 thousand tickets for a gig at St James Park.

I was shocked KOL headlined Leeds a year ago as totally believed they were finished

I know he's not the most liked on these threads, but could this make an appearance at all? I think personally this would be great pyramid opener Sunday for the last day of the 50th.

Highly unlikely though

 

Staying relevant to the topic I'm going to say the safe and already mentioned options of-
Foals
Lady gaga
Fleetwood mac

Pymaid stage: Coldplay, the 1975, green Day

Other: the strokes, Royal blood, foals

I was thinking more in terms of where would they play next year - but then again maybe if the 50th line-up is super strong they might take a sub slot or similar.

Eavis American Punk Ban may prevent Green Day JJ. 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

KoL could make sense because they'd be desperate to play and prove their still relevant - then surely they'd be willing to take a lower cut for all that exposure and thus up the coffers for F-Mac? Shame Macca won't be there tho.

[CaledonianGonzo]

KoL never stopped being relevant.....if you're a pigeon.

I fully think they would take a sub, I'd watch them sub but not headline as they would probably screw that up.

Different years, bands weren't desperate to play the 49th version.

I wasn’t there cos I was still shitting in nappies but 1994, NME Stage. MJK then hopped onto the Pyramid for a song with Rage Against the Machine. It’s a year for which the lineup has aged pretty incredibly.

You’re right about Tool being no good for Glasto now.

 

Would that have been for Anenima tour? Actually might be a bit early, maybe undertow? Eitherway. Glasto with rage and tool would have been amazing for little  14 year old metal head me back then.

[senor]

yes Anenima was 96 and undertow 93

wow, time flies

[Purple aki squat]

I thought Macca was doing it ??

I've given the source before so I can say it again.  

It was Nick Dewey (to Scott), making clear that Macca won't be playing next year despite what Michael had said.

(I've got no experience of Nick's word being proven true or false, but i do have experience of Emily telling me to ignore what Michael has said - so i reckon Nick was coming from the same place and wasn't telling porkies).

Fair enough!

Lord, a new Elbow album doesn’t put them in contention... does it?

To headline? Not a chance.

Not even sure they’re sub material anymore. Third down the Pyramid seems more likely.
