That's my thinking too. Despite Solar Power flopping hard she's still a pretty big deal and has two other albums' worth of bangers to make a Pyramid sub slot work. You'd think they had picked a singer out of the local pub to sub the way some on here are talking... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s also joking about the I quit thing and turning it into a brand. Well it’s worked for Connor McGregor I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that tune Royals being everywhere which is a nice enough song but not really fussed on her personally. Wasn’t aware she was held in such high regard.

Yes, Melodrama is literally a perfect pop album. It’s timeless. Improved on her first in pretty much every way possible. Should have won album of the year. And that is why Solar Power stings.

I’ve no idea who’s doing what or why just from a scheduling point of view. Is she even that big of a deal anymore? Lorde went into Kendrick at Coachella 5 years ago. Thats not weird at all, and I didnt even find it strange back then. If you want strange try the day before with Bon Iver before Gaga. Which was supposed to be Bon Iver into Beyonce pre pregnancy.

westholtschic Posted March 31, 2022 Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 6 hours ago, Gingerfish79 said: Seems a reasonable estimate at this stage. If this was it, I would probably be at Pyramid for 4-5 acts, with no visits on Sunday. So probably an average year for me in terms of visits to the big one. With this list it will be the least I’ve been at the Pyramid stage with only 2 on Friday and Saturday and 3 on Sunday. Look forward to exploring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obiginnaw Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Didn't know which thread to put this one in but this one seems closest been listening to Reef on Virgin Radio yesterday (they're a bit bloody good still, Stringer's voice has improved) dead cert to play I presume, new album coming out - anywhere else they could realistically play apart from Avalon headline?

Chrisp1986 Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 On 3/31/2022 at 11:14 AM, Matt42 said: So is the pyramid looking like… Friday: Billie Eilish // Doja Cat // Wolf Alice // Olivia Rodrigo // Crowded House // Rufus Wainwright // ??? Saturday: Paul McCartney // Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds // HAIM // Megan Thee Stallion // Kacey Musgraves // Koffee // Easy Life Sunday: Kendrick Lamar // Lorde // Elbow // Diana Ross // ??? // Herbie Hancock // Black Dyke Band I don’t think Herbie will be 5th down, so I think someone before Diana may be TBA. With what we know there’s space for at least two more acts on the pyramid. Also big up eavis for booking such a female fronted Pyramid stage. Goes to show how it’s possible to book a main stage with more female acts than male acts and it’s quality! Don't we have info that Paolo is Pyramid on Saturday?

Saw them at the festival mid afternoon in WG in 2016, so imagine something similar. If they play late in the evening, they’re going to be up against some clashes so would prefer them earlier. Or late night somewhere. Not sure if they’d be playing Hell stage or similar but I’d be all over it. Edited April 2, 2022 by maelzoid Hit submit too early!
