Hugh Jass Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 1 minute ago, The Nal said: Kanye was worse. In terms of people leaving anyway. Radiohead too by all acounts. At one point during Kanye it looked like when a Pyramid gig is over there were so many leaving. I wasn't at Kanye, went to see Suede instead but part of me regrets not going for a look. I was at Oasis though, they were fucking terrible that night. Easily the worst headline performance I've ever witnessed on that stage.

AlexOvd Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 It's absolutely impossible WA is headlining the Pyramid this year. And I fucking love them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes all of our group left for the Chems when Noel described Little by Little as the best song he ever wrote. Funnily there was an exodus when Oasis played in 95 too thousands leaving for the Prodigy. Oasis have rarely been good live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Incognito Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Stuff like this always happens where people mistake someone headlining a stage for headlining the whole thing. Other stage headliner makes sense but are they likely to give that slot to both Wolf Alice and Foals? Two indie bands would make sense if the Pyramid top line is very pop heavy though.

I did the opposite to you and deeply regretted it - it was out of pure intrigue, I knew deep down which act I would prefer to see. Tried to get out of the corner of the field with the ice cream van to the right of the Pyramid as you look at it half way through and so many people were leaving the crush made it impossible to get through and up to JP. As a result I bought tickets to see Suede at Hammersmith Apollo and they were great - confirmed I made a huge error at Glastonbury that night.

Memory Man Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I just think its funny that its almost mid february and no one really knows who 2 of the headliners are that will be walking out on stage in just over 4 months time. unprecedented?

the wonderwhy Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I could definitely see them doing Saturday on the Other if they’ve had to shuffle things about. Don’t think them and Foals being up there together is an issue at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I absolutely love Wolf Alice, and would love to see them headline the festival at some point, but there’s absolutely zero chance of that happening this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memory Man Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Worst headliners since mid 90s my shortlist; skunk anansie in 99? The who 07? Verve 08? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexOvd Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 If they'd need to bump an unusual headliner Sam Fender would make much more sense than WA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily there was an exodus when Oasis played in 95 too thousands leaving for the Prodigy. Oasis have rarely been good live. No, there's a myth that Oasis were this phenomenal live act. I must have seen them half a dozen or more times and they were rarely better than average. I think they were good in the early days, I have the Knebworth vinyl and they sound fantastic on there, but as time went by Liam's voice went to shit, the songs got worse and the setlists became more bloated. Post 2000 they really were not very good live at all. Funnily enough from what I've seen and heard it seems the Liam of the last couple of years is in much better shape live than the Liam of 20 years ago.

Dua can only do Saturday right? Billie v Foals, Dua v Wolf Alice, Macca v Pet Shop Boys isn't perfect but it works. Or you've got Billie v Foals, Macca v Wolf Alice and Florence v Pet Shop Boys and Dua is just out rather than bumped up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balthazarstarbuck Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Kanye wasn’t even the worst headliner in 2015. Love Wolf Alice to bits, but I can’t see it. “Main stage” is a really weird choice of wording too. More importantly, however, it’s reminded me I’ve got a 10L box of half and half that isn’t going to drink itself… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K2SO Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 The talk of Wolf Alice headlining has made me feel a little bit better. I won't be as upset that I could no longer afford to go if they were headlining... I just don't get the hype. Nails down a chalkboard for me.

Its highly in doubt at this stage since neither of them are active or have any other tour dates not named superbowl, but i know what youre saying. i seem to recall this website usually having all 3 headliners nailed on beyond almost any doubt about 6 months ahead most years pre covid there is now plenty of doubt re macca and kendrick. I think we’ll get one but not both. Edited February 9, 2022 by Memory Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyT Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 The facebook post regarding this has been "liked" by Jason Bryant who I believe is responsible for many of the "official" photos on the festivals website (may even be classed as the official photographer?) Could be nothing, probably is nothing but let's not let that stop us from over analysing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re just the current band in line for “decent band that eFests has decided are incredible”, which was probably Foals a few years back. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
