bellboy Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Really hope that this happens. They finish a long residency in Las Vegas at the end of May so could be available. A cold Brothers, sunset, Soul Sacrifice - perfect!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only did coachella because they paid him ££££££ He has already played Glastonbury several times. I saw him in the Glade years ago and, as others have said, he does show up in the naughty corner.

priest17 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Santana is a massive act, and by that I mean there's a billion instruments on stage and it'd be impressive to fit all of that at a festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry49 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 This would be a highlight for me. Been hoping to see him since buying Lotus 30 years ago and unravelling the artwork. Some how never managed to see him but WH headliner would be perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wro_lap Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Orbital, Thom Yorke and Santana as headliners? Pretty strong trio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Sir Robin Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Carlos still strikes me as far too big an act for WH. He’s surely Pyramid or nowt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's down with the kids or anything. His fee might be an obstacle, tho I think Brian Ferry a few years ago wasn't all paid for out of the WH budget, and Carlos could be done the same way I guess.

FuzzyDunlop Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Santana? That'd be right up my ally. I thought he'd be 3rd down Pyramid, but WH headliner works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyDunlop Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 If Santana was on WH, I would imagine you'd not want him clashing with Macca/Reg. If it was Swift on the Pyramid with Santana on the WH, The other stage could be pretty deserted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Too big' as in too famous/popular/expensive. I can't think of anyone comparable who's played WH in recent years. His popularity is well above the old funk/disco acts that have graced that field. Agree crowds would probably be OK at headliner time, but to me he feels much more like a big afternoon Pyramid act than a WH headliner.

If they need a mid afternoon pyramid slot filled, he can easily be it. They just have to fly in Rob Thomas so he can sing Smooth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other was pretty thin for LCD when they were up against Coldplay and EWF, and by all accounts there wasn't a lot there for BBK when they were up against Ed Sheeran and Justice. Even Radiohead did very poor numbers in 2017, whereas Dizzee had completely filled WH and it looked like there were more in the Other field watching Major Lazer than at the Pyramid.
