The Chems?
 

Their significantly greater mainstream appeal rules that out...

playing a handsomely paid US gig is a totally different ball park to playing in the UK. And they’re a very different band to the one that was falling apart and didn’t really care in 2008.  They even went on last at Latitude last year, even though they weren’t headlining. No chance.

Agreed, in my follow up post I did mention that at least Calvin Harris could be considered 'Pyramid headliner level' its just that he's not the sort of act they'll have take that slot. But the other 2 are pretty standard Other sized headliners. I could see Calvin, PSB and an act like The Strokes definitely meeting the 'Pyramid headliner level' criteria. One is a standard sized Other headliner, one is a hugely popular commercial act whose big enough to headline the Pyramid but their act doesn't quite fit and lastly an established international headline band who would easily be able to headline the Pyramid in a normal year.

Nahhhh calvin harris is not pyramid level. He isnt edgy enough like chemicals are; he's too mainstream. I know so is taylor but tbh i have no idea why she's playing except to keep that gender ratio as equal as possible

Why would being ‘too mainstream’ and not ‘edgy enough like chemicals are’ be an argument against him being a Pyramid headliner?

And GTFO with that gender ratio shit. She’s more than qualified for the role.

Surely that makes Harris more of a Pyramid headliner?

 

And like her or not (I don’t), Swift is a Pyramid headliner too. A big one.

Was thinking about this again today, still think they've got something up their sleeve for this.

I still think it's pretty likely only 1 out of 3 is bigger than usual but there must be something extra special about at least one of the headliners this year. It was such a strangely specific comment for Emily to make, unprompted. 

I dunno, I might be wrong but I've got a feeling we're going to get a surprise related to this on poster day.  

EDIT - I also wonder if the lack of any strong rumours related to who it might be could be tied to if being a US act (Neil has mentioned before this usually contributes to a lack of leaked info). I've got a sneaky feeling it could still be RATM, MCR or The Strokes.

Agree with you.

Strokes I reckon judging by the tour dates

I thought it was Royal Blood, Calvin Harris and Pet Shop Boys and we'd dusted our hands already?

Yeah but I dunno, it still doesn't sit quite right. 

I'd argue that Royal Blood are still not quite at "amazing/Pyramid headliner" level as described. PSB are standard Other headliner level. Calvin Harris fits the bill better than the rest but, is he really the kinda act Emily would wax lyrical about? I dunno, like I say I could be wrong but I still think there's something else in this.
