Not active, and never headlined Holts (or played the festival I’m pretty sure) 

Bestival managed to get them one year but never Glastonbury.

Outrageous.

Yeah - Lana's definitely an outside bet. But the scenes at BST definitely shows she'd be in the headline conversation if it weren't for last year's drama 

Annoyed with myself for selling my BST ticket in a huff after her Glastonbury antics.

It was a cash grab tour so not too surprising.

Funny how, although a big deal for Bestival, that wasn’t a ginormous deal overall whereas ten years later him doing Glastonbury is the biggest deal every

Granted, Emily’s comment of a big American act giving her a call does suggest it was a last minute squeeze in to their schedule so she could well make an exception here.

Yeah this is where my, admittedly pessimistic, brain keeps taking me. It's plausible. Though maybe not probable?

[Joey Peeps]

Also Pink's dates were published online then promptly pulled, around the same time as Emily's comments on the podcast. Now they've been released two days after the Glastonbury ticket sale is concluded.

Am I reading too much into this?

Most summers for the few years pre-Covid, you could have seen Elton at a variety of county cricket grounds around the country - was by no means a hard ticket to get.

Covid (and the desire of everybody to go out and have experiences afterwards), plus farewell tour, upped the desirability of seeing him considerably.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah - it's well acknowledged that a lot changed to make Elton the enormo-draw that it eventually became.

That was back when Reg was playing every provincial football ground in the UK, that year or the one after I saw him at Walsall FC which holds 10k and hadn't sold out.

I occasionally wonder if Covid caused some sort of national collective insanity.

Based on this, it seems highly likely it did.

They also knocked all their suppliers and staff two years in a row and liquidated the company. 

Shame, loved that festival.

Green Day to play a Foo Fighters type slot?

Yeah I went a few years in the mid-late 00's, was always a cracking time, even that year it rained biblically.

Pain in the arse to get to/from though.

not totally impossible - no indication that will happen at this stage but it would be the only way they will be there next year based on them being IOW exclusive.

Outkast - Are they active at the moment?  Previously headlined West Holts, so don't think they are big enough

Andre 3000 just released an album of digital flute music!

Yeah, I listened to it on Friday -it's really nice to have on in the background whilst working...wouldn't work on the pyramid though 🙂

They're in Europe around that weekend and have a gap in their touring. They have dozens of crowd pleasers and "bangers" so if the festival were to make a huge headline sized act playing a secret set on the Pyramid a thing Green Day would be perfect candidates for next year.

Alternatively, for 90s alternative acts who reached their critical prime in the 00s, stick Tool on. Hour long set in broad daylight.😂
