Maybe head to McCartney for the end? It definitely is sacrilege. Almost certainly Macca's final Glastonbury appearance vs Dua Lipa who'll almost certainly be back to top the big one in the next 2-3 years is an absolute no content.

I just feel like Dua will be absolutely banging though. I feel like the vibes will be a top notch Glastonbury experience. The crowd will be absolutely here for it. I think Dua will be an unusual case and probably go from Other headline to Pyramid headline in something like 2 years… but it’s probably part of the deal. I won’t be surprised if they’ve said to her “headline the other in 2022 and you will have first dibs to headline on your next album”… or something along those lines.

I’m tepid on the Beatles in general so there’s that too. As @Matt42says it will be a huge party and loads of the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Dua on Other would be a massive party and I’d certainly be gutted to miss it, but Macca, on the Pyramid, for the last time… c’mon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't realised I'd been going on about it. Just my perception of the image she seems to be aiming for. Not sure why it would make you uncomfortable but apologies that it did. Probably makes people uncomfortable because of the connotations of Lolita - the link with child sexual exploitation etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I intend to try and see a chunk of both but Dua will receive a majority stake as I think it’s a rare opportunity to see a future headliner in a smaller than usual position. May even feel somewhat like an intimate gig for her by next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that was being batted around in the lad up to the 2020 festival. Diana Ross, Haim, Lana Del Rey, were all rumoured to be performing on the Sunday.

But yeah regardless it wasn’t a full female day due to what we knew. Maybe it was lazy journalism of some journalist seeing that Taylor, Diana and what Candi Station were on the pyramid on the same day and spun it as a ladies day?

Matt87 Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Ah yeah I do recall The Specials being confirmed. Kacey Musgraves was an unknown day I think, so could have been a Sunday Pyramid slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I wasn’t convinced as I think they’d be on a small stage (like they have done before) I can’t deny that it was looking like slim pickings for who it could be. I was stumped.

I think there’s another European show she’s playing that’s even closer to Glasto (can’t remember off the top of my head). She looks pretty sure bet to come back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not anything against Macca, it's just more that Dua's ascent has been so rapid and Future Nostalgia has hit so big that it feels really exciting.

That does rather assume a particular (and incorrect) interpretation of what I said. What I was actually referring to was a marketing bent towards under-age seduction, evidenced by lyrics like "bruises, on both my knees for you" and "might seduce your dad type". You might feel comfortable listening to this from a 17 year old child, but each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
