Alicia Keys

[4AssedMonkey]

Pleasantly surprised by this earlier. One of those artists I’ve always liked but probably wouldn’t buy a ticket for. Spotify tells me I know more of her stuff than I thought. Hope it doesn’t clash badly as I’d like to see her set. Anyone know more on stage/day/time? West Holts headline perhaps?

You knows it.

Is there news that she's playing? I've seen her European tour dates and there is a gap... but what suggests she's playing GF or any Euro festival?

She played a small gig in London last night, which could well be what she was hinting at about surprising people.

Setlist from last night. Potential highlight of the festival on a nice sunny afternoon ala Sheryl Crow last year, albeit will most likely place higher up.

Agreed - would be a real highlight.  Some great tunes there.  I will 100% be there if she is booked

Diana Ross > Alicia Keys > Foals > Taylor Swift 

[Hugh Jass]

I would have said after Ross but I have that slot reserved for Capaldi.

Fourth down Pyramid on the Saturday.

I know it's only theoretical but it's totally plausible too. Would perhaps be one of the strongest 1 stage, 4 act runs in the history of the festival and a hell of a way to close out the 50th.

Is this an odd-one-out competition?  'Cos if it is, I think I've solved it.

Substitute Foals for Dua Lipa, then swap Dua with Alicia Keys and you might be on to something.

And then Taylor Swift with Foals.

Sounds like a top plan 👍

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'd totally forgot it was her that did Empire State of Mind

I still see Dua being on Friday. 

[H.M.V]

I would be all over this. Empire state of mind is a tune! Loads of hits but that one properly gets me in the feels. Sunday afternoon would be something else. 

[marathonsteve]

Yes

Hard to beat Aerosmith - Noel Gallagher - Paul McCartney (in size and how different that is to potential for Sunday lineup as well haha)

If those are the 2 days and you have Crowded House on Friday with Dua and Kendrick. This really has the potential to be one of the strongest but also most diverse Pyramid line ups I've seen.

Think Crowded House are Saturday.

Just checked and they’re in Holland Friday, while the original leak specifically had them as Saturday.

Yeah when you think that's nailed on already it really shows that the 50th being a big one isn't just hype. It's why I'm thinking the Pyramid level headliners for Other may well actually be pretty substantial bookings. 

[sisco]

Kendrick Lemar, Dua Lipa, Alicia Keys, Rag N Bone Man

Macca, NGHFB, Aerosmith, Camilla Cabello 

Taylor Swift, Lewis Capaldi, HAIM, Diana Ross

 

My current top 4’s for the Pyramid at the min. All very strong.

Not really sure why I put this in the Alicia Keys thread

Seems a bit too pop heavy imo (other than the Aerosmith to Macca run its literally all pop music).

 

Also not convinced RagNBone Man is that big anymore, he's subbing at Victorious which puts him at the same level as The Kooks, Bombay Bicycle Club, James Bay, Friendly Fires etc. (who wouldnt get anywhere near that slot on the main stage imo, maybe like second/third on)
