I really can't see past O-Rod for one spot and if the hyperbole be believed, Fred Again... is nailed on.  To balance that, surely they'd be looking for a heritage female act.  Madge - no chance (thank f**k) but maybe Chaka Khan, Stevie Nicks or Annie Lennox?  Personally I'd die to see Annie Lennox with a mix of solo/Eurythmics hits smashing the merry hell out of el Pointo, but must be least likely of the trio.  I guess there'd be a question mark over whether Chaka Khan is big enough but she would be great in the legend slot, so Stevie Nicks the obvious contender.

 

Fred - Friday

Stevie - Saturday

Chaka - Legend

O-Rod - Sunday party time.

To the 1975 haters in here who obviously have no taste in great music. Listen up. Matty Healy and his band are going to blow away this festival in front of 120k gob smacked punters. They are without q

Would Pulp as Pyramid closer actually get more punters than SZA?


They didn’t exactly fill TRNSMT last year but I reckon so. Thats a low bar TBF.

I could play Happy Birthday with the spoons for 2 hours and it'd draw a bigger crowd than SZA. 

but could you get a billion streams?

Let me think. Would national treasures Pulp, with all their beloved hits and bangers, attract a bigger crowd than an act that a sizeable proportion of the punters was largely unfamiliar with? 

In all probability they'd not fill the field, but it'd be a decent crowd and I'm sure far fewer punters would have packed up and b*ggered off on the Sunday

100%

 

If people are predicting Stevie Nicks to headline, don't see how Pulp are out of the question. They could easily do Legend as well to be fair, certainly have been around long enough.

 

I'm not sure if Stevie Nicks is there but tour wise she's very similar to Pulp

Don't think Asake is subbing pyramid just yet to be honest. Would be very empty for him into Iron Maiden i think

Hearing Fear of the Dark blast out of the Pyramid speakers would be surreal*.

 

*In a good way.

They've got a big 50th anniversary tour planned for next year apparently, which is rumoured to hit Europe in June

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Childish Gambino would both not accept anything other than Pyramid headliner.

 

You could even argue CXCX will be pushing for the step up.

I would agree for Childish Gambino, as he hasn't played non-headline slots at festivals for a while, I wouldn't agree for Nick Cave or Charli XCX though. They've played before in lower slots, Charli is a lot bigger than when she headlined Woodsies, and could headline next year depending on her trajectory. Nick Cave hasn't gotten that much bigger since he subbed Pyramid in 2013

Yes, he's already been locked in. Couple of different sources in various places on this.

 

Given the demographic shifts in the festival it's a fantastic booking.


Some were claiming it at the same time Emily was saying none of them were confirmed. It’s all rumour and conjecture at this stage.

      I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.
