Ah! Good call in that case, you have a strong point. good on them for sticking to their guns and finishing their live show in such an amazing way!

Hurt/Heal has got sod all to do with how good a set is...it just shows who's got the most eFest obsessives on the case...or the most obsessive obsessives...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted February 26, 2023 Report Share Posted February 26, 2023 What do people think is a more prominent slot: Pyramid sub or Other headliner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you mean by prominent I guess, but it's gotta be Other headliner for my money. Other headliners are a lot easier to remember a few years down the line at any rate.

Depends whos in it a lot i think. both slots have outliers who are smaller than usual and bigger e.g vampire weekend, christine and the queens and then it goes the other way too. I assume sub has a bigger tv audience and its more primetime tv so i'd go with that perhaps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Interesting point for discussion though @gfa @Freddyflintstonree. You're the first to respond and you both make opposing points. I wonder how artists and their management view it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume sub has a bigger tv audience and its more primetime tv so i'd go with that perhaps I agree with both sides here, and think it depends who you ask. Ask people who go to the festival, I think a majority would say Other headline. Ask people who watch on TV, and I think they'd say the Pyramid sub (with the big, prime time TV show). Last year is probably a case in point - Sam Fender and Noel Gallagher in particular, both had big TV slots - so likely a lot more memorable to the armchair Glasto watcher. I doubt many people sought out Megan Thee Stallion on telly, when Macca was on at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlining a stage may be more appealing for an artist, whereas management will be looking at things like exposure through viewership etc.? I'm pulling all this out the air tho - no idea.

Obviously dance acts will go for Other Headline / acts with bigger shows. Some acts like the headline slot too - some will want to play on the pyramid stage as its iconic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddyflintstonree Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Also, potentially ideal setlist length comes into it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyramid sub probably if you're talking exposure. That said, I think if I were an act and offered my choice I'd definitely pick Other headliner, coz it's still a headliner. Plus I think generally, gigs have more feel in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakeyboi135 Posted February 27, 2023 Report Share Posted February 27, 2023 Along the same lines, how many pyramid subs/other headliners have gone on to headline? Pyramid sub does tend to be the peak of plenty artists e.g Nick Cave and Biffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
