NorthernSoul52 Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Wet Leg certainly will have a big spot if they're back next year. If anything, would assume they would be - a strike-while-the-iron-is-hot situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emeli Sande nowhere near other sub anymore, maybe stick her afternoon pyramid. Dave won't take 3rd down either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other headliner would bring the same criticism that people say of Foals, that that is their level. I wondered if a high Pyramid, maybe even subbing Elton, would be the next step before headlining the whole thing in 2024/25. Also, following the Legend isn't to be sniffed at - you're pretty much guaranteed a huge crowd.

The trouble is, with more people touring next year, the line-up is going to be so stacked that acts might have to compromise on where they're placed.

That is why I am leaning - against my better wishes - towards bands like The 1975 not topping the Pyramid, even though I think they've got the size. Feels like we could be in line for a plus-sized crop of major players vying for top-end spots on there. Which, to be honest, is only a good thing! More bang for your buck to an extent.

I'd be at AM anyway, but i saw bicep last year at brixton then this year and wish i saw PSB - was pretty similar to last time. good still but really not much changed. there's so many acts around and they don't even have a new album definitely coming out in time for glastonbury it seems.

My mistake… Although prob worth mentioning they stepped in to replace Kylie, so a bit like Florence there’s a question mark if they’d have headlined in their own right. Prodigy headlined Other in ‘95 and Pyramid in ‘97 so earlier than I was looking. 🙂 They then went back to Other headliner in 2009… So! Amended stat: out of the past 17 festivals and 51 Other stage headliners, only one has gone on to headline the Pyramid. 😉 Edited July 8, 2022 by jimmillen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh, someone’s living up to their username today. 😉 Anyway - see my edits above. I got Basement Jaxx wrong but reckon the broader point stands - only 1 out of 51 acts have been promoted from Other to Pyramid headliner since 2000. To me that indicates a trend in how the festival books acts… but of course, there is no pattern. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
