Hmm I remember 4 was considered a major let down from Sasha Fierce.

Without a doubt though her most popular material came after her headline set.

Really? I’m no Beyoncé super fan but if you asked me to name three songs I’d say Crazy in Love, Put A Ring On It and Halo.

All came before she headlined.

Don't think glasto would accommodate for the entire stage they bring with them

People said the same about U2 but they scaled it down and played. 50th anniversary, they'll be after something special. 

And Brian Johnson appears very knowledgeable about the festival judging by his interview with Dolly. 

We can but dream.

It really didn't. Nothing she's released since has sold as well as anything she'd released before she headlined. I bet even you could name far more of her earlier singles than you could recent ones, I know I could.

She may now be seen as more credible and a bit more of a 'critical darling' (probably partially due to her headline slot), but she was massively massively popular already.

Hes back in the band (worst kept secret) with some fancy new in ear tech and ready to go. New album and tour.

Apparently.

Hearing managed with new hearing aid that allows in ear monitoring with massive sound isolation.

Brilliant. Saw them at Wembley last time and they were top.

Lots of photos of 80% of current band including Rudd at the studio for a month in Vancouver...Cliff also believed to be involved.

Best live band the world has ever seen.

AC/DC would be pretty epic.

[jyoung]

Not many bigger than Taylor Swift that haven't already done it. Fact. Any talk of a decline is wide of the mark as well. It's rare for an artist to be on a constant upward trajectory of five star reviews, highest-grossing tours and record breaking sales throughout their career but I think she's doing pretty fine. No need to think she would be begging at the feet of Eavis as if her life depended on it. But she'd smash it out the park, by the way. You know it would be 2 hours of wall to wall bangers? Obv it's down to preference (and mine is that Taylor Swift is the fucking GOAT) but if you think that she isn't a capable headliner, you've clearly never watched one of her live shows.

Yep. The solo Super Bowl she did in 2013 solidified her megastar status - the two albums she’d done since then, while great, were self-indulgent enough that they’ve have bombed if she hadn’t already spent a decade putting out banger after banger. She hasn’t had an inescapable ‘hit’ since Love On Top yet has still managed to graduate to stadium status, it’s quite the feat.

Phil Rudd is crazy. The last of the great rock lunatics.

Dacca didn't bring their own stage to Coachella, so folk could maybe stop using that as a disqualifier.

I think they would be a very fun Sundsy headliner 

[Hugh Jass]

Would I be right in thinking Acca Dacca eould require slightly more than a standard fee?

Seems a little far fetched to me.

I hope the Other Stage alternative is better than what was on the last time a metal band headlined the Pyramid!!

I gave Metallica a chance but after they played the same song for a third time in a row we ended up at Mogwai. Slim pickings that night, to say the least.

[FuzzyDunlop]

I wouldn't call ACDC a Metal band really. It's just rock n roll. Plenty of Blues inspired stuff.

And Metallica were great!

I got real weirded out up at Dexys Midnight Runners. It's a funny place the Acoustic stage.

[Matt42]

Dacca would be fantastic

I have 0 faith it will happen though

Ferry was the answer you were looking for.
