I think she'll come out to Bury a Friend, end the main set with No Time to Die and finish the encore with Bad Guy. Nah she will open with one from HTE me thinks. Maybe Bad Guy as the second track? Finish main set with Happier Than Ever and encore with Bury a Friend. Don’t think she will play no time to die.

The Martini Police Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 30 minutes ago, Gnomicide said: Yes, previous was Bowie. Not that I've double checked but someone has done the work. I haven't checked everyone either but Arctic Monkeys were certainly younger than Bowie. 21 when they headlined in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Aye they listed all the younger headliners in one of the things they ran over the festival weekend this year. Seem to remember Oasis/Liam being pretty damn young when they headlined too, although I definitely think Billie would be youngest if she ends up doing it.

If we’re counting lead singers, I think Tim Wheeler from Ash might just beat her (by about a fortnight). Only done a cursory search mind. There could definitely be others.

Weren’t they like 17 or something ridiculous when they got drafted in last minute to headline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna get to the bottom of that one though. Just goes to show it ain’t unprecedented I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Obviously there’s been a gap and extenuating circumstances, but we are looking at a jump from third Other to Pyramid headliner in successive festivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Even more remarkable when you remember she was originally meant to play an even lower slot in the JP last time out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 Enjoyed that documentary/interview that was on last week. I reckon she will continue to evolve and change direction with every album she makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Encore is almost a meaningless term these days anyway. Maybe it's just the acts I've been at, but it seems increasingly common for a band leave the stage, while the crowd just stands there waiting around damn near silent other than maybe the odd token effort to shout for more, because they know that the show isn't over - the house lights aren't up, the PA music isn't playing. Then the show resumes as if nothing happened.. I did see an actual genuine encore not too long ago - FLC at Rock City about 4 or 5ish years back - house lights came on, music playing, but the crowd properly wanted more and pretty much refused to leave - of course because they'd played their set and I assume had run through most of what they had rehearsed and certainly all the big numbers, when they came back out it was with a cover and a b-side that most of the crowd didn't know. Still loved it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might just be that I have a slightly twisted sense of humour, but I do one day want to see a band say "fuck it, they don't want us to come back", and so not do the "encore" part of their standard set ideally including their biggest hit. The sheer reaction it'd create would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tartan_Glasto Posted August 11, 2021 Report Share Posted August 11, 2021 NDA and Happier Than Ever are my fave tracks on the album but I think Oxytocin has the potential to go off the chain on the Pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
