Sam Y Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I reckon Catfish will sub the 1975/Foals, Panic will sub Taylor and Noel will sub the remaining headliner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nban2010 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Rihanna is back with two(!) new albums next year, she's surely headline material, but maybe they've convinced her to sub for the Katy Perry slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah. Rihanna is a megastar. Even though she might not have the sales of Swift or Adele - she is a bigger "star" in my opinion. She creates headlines and if she's playing - she headlines. You don't have Foals / 1975 as a headliner and Rihanna subbing / 3rd down. Edited October 16, 2019 by FuzzyDunlop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FakeEmpire Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 If I was to guess (and that's what we do all day around here right?) I'd go with Noel G / Lana / Bon Iver as Pyramid 2020 subs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where’s Neil Young come from? Seen him mentioned a bit but thought it was just wishful thinking - any reason to think he’ll actually be there and accepting a sub slot?

Big Mick E came out with it around about the same time he blabbed Paul MacLunkey. Because Neil had the info against Paul we assumed Michael was just being a gasbag and ignored him, but today's happenings give us hope that the old goat is on his way to Worthy Farm. Although if he was willing to play and not headline surely it'd have been this year with Promise Of The Real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted November 18, 2019 Report Share Posted November 18, 2019 Someone posted in the Rock Werchter thread earlier that Neil Young was meant to be touring in Europe next summer but now won't be touring. I wouldn't be too surprised if Noel is an Other stage headliner. I originally thought he'd be Pyramid or nothing but I could see him being quite happy to headline a big stage and he'd still draw a big crowd up against Taylor/another pop headliner. Elbow seem the obvious contender for Pyramid sub imo, maybe Dua Lipa too if they want a female sub and can't get Lana Del Rey again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 (edited) Been thinking recently that I kind of want Haim to sub the Pyramid. Unlikely to happen because I imagine they're willing to settle for less, but their tours look pretty similar to that of Vampire Weekend and I suppose The National at the time that they played and I'm sure they'd do a decent job of it. Not predicting it but it'd be a good move. Edited November 21, 2019 by dentalplan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t know if he’s even touring here next summer - he told Mojo he wants to go out with Crazy Horse but that’s dependent of whether Nils Lofgren is touring with the E-Street Band. And even if he is, he ain’t subbing. I know he went on before Dylan at Hyde Park, but that was a joint-headline affair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think third Pyramid or sub Other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to have been perennially lowballed. They do the shows that subs do; they sold out 2x Ally Pally in one morning last year and also filled up the Other field a couple of years back. Probably about the biggest female-fronted rock band they could realistically book so I think it'd be good on that front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparx Posted November 21, 2019 Report Share Posted November 21, 2019 HAIM as Taylor's sub would be beautiful. Wouldn't see any complaints from me! Definitely think they will be on the Pyramid one way or another. If they're saying a 50/50 gender split is tough on there, they're an obvious contender for a big slot.

FuzzyDunlop Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) I dont get the love for LDR. I hope she isnt on before Swift or Macca. I justbtried listening to her album & it bored me to tears. I want something with a bit more life & energy. I get she's big enough, but it's just depressing to my ears. Proper chin strokey stuff. In the words of Andy Townsend "Not for me Clive". Lizzo before Swift please. Noel G before Macca. Danke.
