Fair play to them they are great live and play a lot of shows. People don’t tend to see them one and done , they come back for a repeat. these D block guys may have sold out massive London shows but I reckon they draw a smaller crowd at glasto in that same slot than idles. Could be wrong though also they might have to close the park to a swarm of indie dads for fountaines if scheduled that way lol Fontaines and IDLES clearly shouldn't have clashed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure but the size gap is even bigger than with wizkid You could surely say similar about SZA? Holding acts back because 'their fans aren't there' isn't going to make their fans come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamingofsunnydays Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 From my view- I’m finding the undercard more exciting than the headliners. Nobody mentioning Cyndi Lauper too much? Shes a great booking! Loving the likes of last dinner party getting a bigger crowd. Mrs DoSD is disappointed though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicAtreides Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Does anyone else think LCD as a Pyramid sub is a bit off? For what it’s worth I love them and saw them at WHP back in 2017 and it was one of my favourite ever gigs, but they feel like they’d translate so much better to other stage headliner or even West Holts at a push and the pyramid atmosphere might see their sound get a little… lost? Or maybe I’m just overthinking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been going since 97 other than 4 years between 2014 and 2019 and haven’t noticed Cyndi on the bill other than one of the festivals I missed.. so I’m over the moon to see her this year. She slightly compensates for the lack of the true icon Madonna 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 Cyndi on Pyramid is great - but someone on Discord had that info months ago so we knew it was coming. I missed her last time around and she's brilliant live so this is a must see for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasperella2 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 As someone who has a ticket but can't go, I can confirm that this lineup is good enough to make me proper gutted! Definitely enough going on there to keep me busy. Pyramid is weak for me, but I say that most years. Maybe I can go 8 months pregnant and just camp myself in The Park for the whole time (with a wee walk up to Idles, Kiwanuka, and Block Party... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooner1990 Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 I think perhaps some of the 'underwhelmed' ness on here is because everything gets discussed, analysed or acts playing get tipped off in such detail that by the time the line-ups do come out none of it is a surprise to anyone. Its why I avoid the site build up threads when the festival gets close as I like to have at least one surprise when I arrive on site!

I like both acts, and will probably see Simz, but they'd both work much better on Other/Holts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
