There are tons of these bands who do the likes of IOW every year but never hit the farm. I do wonder if they all just want better slots/money than Glastonbury would give them, as they’d no doubt get kind of low novelty slots rather than the high billings they’d get elsewhere.

NorthernSoul52 Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 Tears for Fears would be fantastic there, but also probably wouldn't get booked to sub the Pyramid, which is a shame.

Was a massive disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And tend to want excellent billing at events. I think they'd want the sub slot. I don't think Glastonbury would give them it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them opening for The Killers at BST Hyde Park several years ago and being much more impressed by them than I was for Elbow in-between TFF & TK.

NorthernSoul52 Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 Saw OMD supporting a-ha in Doncaster a few years ago, and blew 'em off the park. a-ha are a weird one. Seen 'em three times, and the two times they've played a straight bat, they've wobbled between average and mediocre. But then I saw their unplugged show at The O2 about six years ago, and that's possibly in my twenty best gigs ever. It was genuinely astounding how much light and shade they found in that format.

So many of the Trinity College Dublin gigs last summer were bands also at Glasto so think this makes them very, very likely to be there. Do they still merit a Pyramid sub slot or could you arguably move them to third down (as good as One Day Like This is at sunset)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They suited the Park Slot too, I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don’t see them being booked again so soon after playing the Pyramid in 2022. Think they’ll skip this album run and potentially be back on the next one.
