Oh fuck off 😤
Macca apart that’s appalling

Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross, Aerosmith, Dua Lipa, Queens of the Stone Age, Pet Shop Boys is far far far from appalling. Can’t think of a single festival on earth that could book that.

[balthazarstarbuck]

What I like about it is it’s about as balanced as 2020’s original slate. Really is something for everyone there. 
 

Clash dependent I probably won’t see more than one, but that’s par for the course for me anyway.

More than happy to only see 1 Headliner, absolutely suits me fine.  There’ll be more than enough elsewhere (as always)

The New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

At least seeing just the one headliner, I’ll get a more rounded experience of the festival. Every cloud.

[Boomtowner]

I'm actually relieved that the headliners don't really do it for me.  Saw all three headliners in 2007 and 2013, that's what I love about the festival, it caters for all tastes, some years it's your bag, other years it's not. I haven't seen a Pyramid headliner for the last two festivals and had amazing times. So much to see and do!

 

McCartney was amazing in 2004, so I will be back at the Pyramid for a headliner. Looking forward to it!

[Matt87]

So, just to check, the very likely headliners are:

 

Friday - Billie

Saturday - Kendrick

Sunday - Macca

 

Though, chance that Paul and Kendrick may be the other way around.

Did Aerosmith announce a day? You’d think they’d be on same day as Macca.

[Mattymooz]

I'm very happy with that set tbh - would have a great time at all of them but equally none of them are must sees for me. Gives me a decent chance to explore a lot of the other stages at headliner time but still have a backup if nothing is to my tastes

Saturday.

I was going to prop up the stage predictions post and query whether we could see some 2020 placements having a slight hacksaw taken to them. If we are already looking at the headliners having a day shuffle.

Ah yep psbs we’re against Taylor I remember now …. So that’s a clash sorted … although I think Taylor was edging it … 

They don't have clashes on the BBC 😄.

 

 

Seriously though - you'll be there 👍

[FloorFiller]

Macca, Aerosmith and DRoss all on the Sunday would be spectacular, but also seems far too good to be true. Surely Aerosmith will stay put if Macca moves and just stay local to pop up with him the next day?

edit: if them popping up with Macca ever was the plan, that is

Exactly why I have a new sky box that records loads of channels while I watch 1 🙂

Obviously acts can only play days they're available. Billie can only do Friday so that's locked in and I doubt Kendrick cares whether he plays Saturday or Sunday.

Having Macca Sunday makes sense from a locals friendly, festival closing perspective.

I could be wrong but I don't think this is over yet.....for one I'm not certain that GFL themselves will be totally comfortable with a big rap act headlining Saturday night 2 festivals running.

[Matt87]

Killers headlined Saturday last time though 

 

Stormzy was Friday. 

[Hugh Jass]

Can't wait for the buzz around Pilton over them getting day tickets to see K-Dot.

And Kendrick was originally for Friday? So they were already fine with two big rap acts headlining in succession on the same day.

I'm with you on that (or rather I am hoping you are right!)

Taylor replaced with .....  Billie Eilish 😢

Replacing one of the biggest female artists in the world with another one of the biggest artists in the world is a pretty good job. If Taylor isn’t available there isn’t anything they can do about it.

Female for female. There wouldve been an uproar if that wasnt the case. Emily is pretty proud about the gender split, especially at the top if you have 2 female and 2 male acts up there. ( counting the legend )
