It looked great to begin with. The lighting and production ensured it was all about him. But that was also the issue, as things went on it felt like “so this is it for 2 hours?”. I think you need a little more at a Glasto headline show. Bringing out ya man Bon didn’t cut it. And cherry picker aside, it felt flat for a huge portion of the show.

Having watched the Stormzy set several times since, it genuinely seemed like a monumental moment. Enthralling set from start to finish. This. I was stuck at work behind the pyramid when Stormzy played but we all went out the back of the restaurant to listen to some of it and watch the light show/pyros. The crowd sounded like it was eating it up and watching it back it seemed a real moment. I mean, it was a moment for me and several others and we couldn’t even see the stage or hear it very well. I think he stepped up to the plate big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are still folks at the back of the Pyramid field who have not woken up from Springsteen’s 2009 set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 We dont leave ourselves the option to leave if we're watching a Pyramid headliner, we are either in the pit or so close to it that we have to stay and watch as you cant get out anyway - I think that changes your relationship to the set cos you're automatically more engaged. If I was watching at the back I would always have half a mind on hotfooting it to WH, JP or the Other and then it becomes self fulfilling.

Coachella was to start the show and that had a whole thought out production. He only did a handful of shows that year so I dont know why you would think it was phoned in. I wasnt even going to see him that year in general until he replaced Frank Ocean at FYF Fest. The lighting rig did carry over somewhat for the Life of Pablo Tour, but it was to light up everyone beneath him.

priest17 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I can't be the only one who stayed at Muse in 16 coz they were fucking knackered from stomping in the mud all day. I trekked from Ezra Furman at the park to Foals at the big triangle and finally found somewhere to sit down, I was hardly gonna go and stand on my actual legs to put up with Sigur Ross.

RaphPH Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 Lots of former headliners now playing around Glasto and leaving Glasto blank. I wonder if Glasto are doing some sort of surprise array of special guests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) When they release the stage splits and 70% of the main stages line up is 'SPECIAL GUESTS' making it impossible to decipher which is which, I hope you'll all be pleased with yourselves.
