Get Lionel back at glasto! Commodores into Di Ro. Lionel guest for Endless Love?!

 

On a completely unrelated note Avril Lavigne has just finished a stint over in the states and has a new album she might want to promote over here. Saying that I cannot for the life of me think where she would actually fit on the bill

Mid Other? Although I think that would be pushing it even. Gone are the days of 'Sk8ter Boi'. Incidentally how bad is it that I remember that's how it was spelt!?

Didn't she have a resurgence a few years ago? Still couldn't see her any higher though, if at all.

He will be there. He’s massive now.

Looks a lock for third Pyramid I’d say. Maybe on the Sunday similar to the Dolly/Ed combo a few years back.

Kinks? what the eff - where has that came from?

You're probably right for Haim that side of Di Ros I jumped the gun. If GE can sub this year, so would LC

There have been murmurs of a Kinks reunion for next year, whether anything actually comes of it is anyone’s guess.

I wish folk would stop raising my hopes about the Kinks. Would love to see them

I know it’s not really the thread for it but no, Haim being that low would be quite odd. When it comes to sales they’re about as big as Vampire Weekend.

Eh, I'd say they arent as big as Bastille though who played 4th down. Wouldnt be suprised at 4th/5th for them

I think they’re just quite happy to play. Both times they’ve played I felt they were one or two places lower than I expected, so I could definitely see them being up for playing to a huge crowd before Diana Ross.

Haha amazing

I'd watch her if she played, had some bangers. Reckon she'd fill other stage very nicely

Yeah last time they lowballed themselves a little bit but it seemed like it was a brief trip to Europe to preview songs. Worked reasonably well for them, they got a pretty big crowd against Chic and The Killers. Still, I just don't see them coming back to the Pyramid three albums later to play one hour later. They've established themselves and shift mad tickets nowadays; really they should have a claim to be subbing major fests but obviously Glastonbury comes with certain concessions.

I think the second album was already out when they played in 2017? As you say it just seemed to be a quick tour based around Glastonbury which is why I think they’d be quite happy to play slightly lower down than they would elsewhere.

It was not. I would anticipate the third album would be out by June so I don't think they'll be as willing to compromise just to get a slot.

Biffy releasing an album the start of 2020

[Matt42]

HAIM love the festival though!

is anyone expecting them to not be there? They are surely one of those acts you can “shoo in”

No danger of this going to Glasto:

 

Excellent,  two songs and a drum solo and that's an hour and a half set. I do have to admit that I loved them back in the 70s with the classic line up.

The Gates of Delirium is a complete banger mind. Anyone see them on the farm in 2003? They didn’t know what to do with them - I think they did an afternoon slot on the Jazzworld.
