Martin Ashford Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think the ideal band for this slot, this year in particular, is Lynyrd Skynyrd. The line up so far is clearly very light on blues rock artists. Its very heavy on female/pop/dance acts and one relatively new grime artist. Every year Glastonbury throws in a few acts aimed at my generation of aging rock types. Skynyrd would be an ideal counterweight - LOTS of blues and country laced guitar, a bunch of genuine rock classics that nearly everyone knows and a whole lot of attitude. Bon Jovi would also be a good shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars may be there but the rest of the band will most likely be at home. They headlined 5 years ago, are still headlining stadiums, why would they play 3rd down? It's not Metallica because it's going to be Greta Van Fleet but in my head it will be a Metallica secret set and nothing can tell me otherwise.

I have pondered about Lars’ love of the fest bringing the band back in 2020, but playing a guest spot on the Pyramid after already crossing the top spot off the list seems unlikely.

Tommy Lee in his revolving drumkit, the one-armed drummer from Def Leppard and Ballbag from Slipknot. Bobby Blotzer serving drinks. the drumming on this though.

HeyPorter Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 They’re only available on the Sunday, still holding out hope for them. At RW Friday I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padjeq Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Weezer's Brixton gig on the saturday still has tickets unsold for both stalls and balcony. I hope they're at glastonbury on the sunday, and they're just gonna announce late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_Quaife Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Therapy? !!! touring atm and a few festival dates confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manchestermusicreview Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Would much rather have someone relevant (e.g. Architects or, god forbid, GVF) rather than some old hasbeens. Therapy? also is a decent shout. Slayer would be epic but unsure if it works with tour dates/how serious Download’s last UK show tag line is...

They haven't been good in years and their early stuff is good, but not good enough to consider them legends or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for Brixton that is ridiculous. Just glad they're at NOS Alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly on before Chem Bros on the Sunday. Re: Metal slot. I really can't see it not being Greta Van Fleet: Touring Europe, suits the pyramid, free on the Friday, still a few tickets left to sell on their tour, subbing Muse at Werchter...

HeyPorter Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Really hoping it’s something none of us have thought of and the surprise makes us less disappointed with whatever weak booking it actually is. Would love that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The White album they released about two or three years ago was pretty good, their Brixton date on that tour only cost me £39 too so its a huge leap in price if it is £63. They've got a loyal fanbase though so it might sell, before the gig I had a meal in Nandos accross the road and there were fans lined up all around the venue ridiculously early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
