henry bear Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 I love the Pixies, and really hope they’re there in 2020 (as long as I’m there too...), but I want an old-school ‘rock’ act in this slot. Yer Judas Priests, Whitesnakes, Alice Coopers, Def Leppards etc. Pixies could play on a number of stages. Kids wanna rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattiloy Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) +1 for pixies and distillers how about misfits or danzig? preferably the first but Glenn danzig says they are doing very few limited gigs at the mo whilst the latter are due for a european tour 2020. would it be too much to ask for all three? edit: for a more contemporary spin would love to see pigspigspigspigspigspigspigs - But maybe more realistic at bill’s green rather than ’the rock slot’ Edited September 16, 2019 by mattiloy Pigs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say, after catching about half their set at DL this year, Whitesnake would go down a storm. They sounded great, got the songs, and Coverdale still kicking it as a front man.

balti-pie Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Machine Head are extending their tour all over Europe to early/mid June 2020 now ? a good ol bit of Burn My Eyes on the pyramid would be pretty damn entertaining ??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gittinsell Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 The Pixies just smashed Birmingham... sounded fantastic, great setlist, crowd loving it. Would go down a treat on the farm. Get them booked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be absolutely made up with any of those three appearing so that makes me feel like none will. Pixies probably most likely though out of the trio.

henry bear Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 Surely, like Motörhead, ZZ Top and Royal Blood, whoever does this slot should have a broader appeal than some of the names being mentioned here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 You need to be more open-minded. Bands like Corpse Harvester and Anal Fist are very well regarded in Norwegian Black Metal circles and would certainly "wake up" the so-called picnic blankets and camp chairs brigade.

Neil got the feeling of it being a big one, Pixies would just slot into 3rd place on the Pyramid normally I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn My Eyes was (is) such a fantastic album. i must admit i lost interest after that as they went off on a weird crossover tangent - i heard a track in the office recently that just sounded like some generic pop-punk-rap-nu metal type thing, which i was surprised turned out to be MH (no idea what song tho'). but still - Burn My Eyes is freakin' brilliant.

You have to be a bit ruthless with most of the albums since - there's always at least a couple of gems on em, but they've been padded out with some dreadful stuff as well. If i could recommend one though - Unto the locust is a bloody great album and very recommended! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that date rule them out of Download? If so I reckon they’l be at Reading and Leeds. I really dunno about Korn even being on the radar for Glastonbury.

Plus it looks like the London show is run through Banquet Records so will be an in-store or intimate gig. Download still looking likely.
