They're nailed on for a Pyramid headline slot in the next couple of years, assuming they're not actually booked for it for next year, and headlining the Other in 2020 might end up kicking that can further down the road for them. If they're not headlining outright in 2020, just wait until 2021 surely. Maybe they really really really want to play the 50th. Sounds like something Matthew would “omg totally die like for realZ” over. Edited November 14, 2019 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehorses Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 (edited) I wouldn’t have 1975 headlining William’s Green but each to their own ?♂️ ? ? Edited November 14, 2019 by caballosblancos Sp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughbloke Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 I still think The 1975 will headline pyramid. Foals on Other with two of; Post Malone, Pet Shop Boys, The Prodigy; some other DJ like act e.g. The Chainsmokers Outside chance, reckon AJ Tracey (maybe not but sold out two nights at Ally Pally) could be in with a shout?

Mezhyp1 Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Could Billie Eilish headine this? Just thinking of Emily's comments about 50/50 gender split. She's certainly big enough, possibly too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's certainly big enough, possibly too big I’m probably alone in thinking this but I reckon Emily has asked her back this year. The tour gap which Glastonbury falls in the middle of is narrowing. I personally think she’s big enough to headline the pyramid now. An other headline slot might be safe as she can bring her full stage production along. I also think as well it might be a safe move as in the future she might be priced out of Glasto. When I saw that Emily’s favourite photo of 2019 was a photo from Billie’s performance I got a hunch that something is up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymooz Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Are Dua/Prodigy/Noel etc. really at that level? Other headliner would be about the right for them on a normal year surely, definitely wouldnt be calling any of them pyramid headliners (if Duas new album is a smash she has to be a safe bet to headline on album 3 imo, but rn seems a little early tbh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted November 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Of course a lot of this is based around what they have booked for the Pyramid. Wouldn't surprise me for example to see Eilish third down or even subbing the pointy one. If they have Kendrick and Swift then I'd expect more traditional bands opposite them.

jparx Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 If BIllie is headlining the Other then fair play to 'em. That would be huge considering what she's sold out and where she's headlining next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I don't follow her so was just wondering out loud really. The Other field was by no means rammed for her this year, plenty of room to wander between the rows of flags and sit and eat dinner on the ground! But I can't remember who she was up against either.

One way to look at Emily's quote could be acts who have previously headlined the Pyramid, not necessarily acts big enough to headline the again now, so that could work.

I don’t think she would accept a sub slot or a third down slot. She seems to be headlining every festival she is playing at this year. She’s headlining Mad Cool which has had huge headliners in the past few years. Any artist who can sell out 4 nights at the O2 in a matter of minutes is a UK headliner. One album or not. I think she’s either pyramid headliner or other headliner. Only reason I’m sympathising with other headliner is it would allow her to bring her own stage show / light show that she has for the festival tour. Mad Cool isn’t on her dates yet but I’m keeping an eye on this gap. It seems very suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
