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.

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!

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

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

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.

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

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.

Killers headlined Saturday last time though 

 

Stormzy was Friday.

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

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.

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 )

    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.

    • So, what would the weather have been like at this year's festival?   It's been shambolic around here, the rain is soul destroying and showing no sign of letting up, bar odd sporadic days here and there. Disgraceful for June.   What's it like down there? Have we had a lucky escape?...
