Baffled really by the neil young and the stevie wonder rumours a month or so back

All time music legends / huge stars who have done it now so a one and done.

Same with Beyonce and Adele, The stones, Dolly.      Probably bruce. 

 

No ticket this year but he was immense back in 09,  but not really got the same casual appeal either now with the Glastonbury attendees profile.

 

 

 

But you also have big stars like Paul McCartney who've done it multiple times. Let Neil Young belong to that category.

Macca headlined  2004 and 2022, but yes I agree let Neil Young have another crack at it. He was awesome in 2009, probably my highlight!

Defo happening 

 

Interesting. 

 

I really like him but would've thought WH a couple of years ago would've been his peak.

 

I'm also very bad at judging/knowing/caring how popular acts are, what I like them or not

Yeah I find it baffling tbh. 
 

I mean, fair play to him, seems like a decent chap. 
 

But his music is about as vanilla as it gets.

Wonder who'll be cooked up to contrast with The 1975 and Loyle Carner then. 


WH or Woodsies will need someone dancey. 

Basement Jaxx on the former?

 

Or ideally Overmono on the latter.

I’m one of those people ( aged over 60 yrs) who confesses to not knowing anything by O-Rod, or CXCX or Chappel Roan so wouldn’t be a major draw but I might give it a go just for curiosity. Not that fussed over 1975. Would be really pleased with Taylor ( seen her on Eras ) or Rhianna, or Duran or Neil Young. Stevie in 2010 was ok but he was pushing it then so might be a struggle at his age now although same could be said for Neil Young. 🤷‍♀️

At the end of the day there will be lots of options for headliners other than Pyramid. 

 

I'm 47 and out of touch with most of the 'pop' names that play Glastonburty now. Though the only way I knew them 20 years ago were through listening to Radio 1 and that type of stuff was never really for me. I've listend to Brat a couple of times though 🙂

 

Would be happy with Neil Young - though not sure how much of a crowd he'd get now, but there's not a rumoured headliner I'm desperate to see.

I just cannot fathom Neil Young accepting anything - particularly in band mode - below Pyramid headliner. It's not like Glastonbury has shedloads of money to throw at other people elsewhere on the bill either. (I do wonder how much GNR were in the end some days, namely because LDR reportedly got an absolute packet a year later to do a glorified sub session at R+L).

Got to be dance music... Barry Can't Swim to headline Woodsies?

 

Not sure on this - Barry as far as I can tell is still touring on his first album - I can not see them getting him back to do the same show as this year on a different stage -  I know this happen lower down the bill but not for a stage headliner - can deffo see him in line for a big slot at 2027 - 

 

Perhaps Underworld or Basement Jaxx? for a dance slot on WH also they are more Veteran acts compared to the relative youth of those they are up against

All makes complete sense. I just feel that someone who shuts a stage down as he did this year is likely to be back the following year but I'm not sure what slot on what stage

Probably - depends on when and how well a second album does I guess to far off to call at this point. Im not sure he will be back until that record is out though. 

 

As far as im aware the festival has no record of  automatically booking an act to return the next year just because they shut down the stage - But happy to be prooved wrong if you have an example.

    • Skylink is 24 hours... But the skylink will drop you off at Pegasus business Park or EMA (East Midlands Airport) where you'll have to use the Download shuttle link, which isn't 24 hours. The last shuttle from the Download transport hub to EMA is 12:15 TrentBarton / Local bus info here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/download2026   Skylink Derby / Leicester / Loughborough timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/services/skylinkderby  Shuttle timetable here: https://www.trentbarton.co.uk/userfiles/hotel.pdf If you miss the shuttle, which is very doubtful, you'll just have to find another way to EMA / Pegasus business park, maybe a taxi. You could even walk to EMA from the Download transport hub, wouldn't take too long. Just make sure you use the airport's 'circular path' instead of the dangerous roads.  I walk the circular path often, it's nice and easy. I would post instructions but I very much doubt you'll miss the shuttle, and if you do, it isn't hard to work out. The footpath is clearly signposted from directly opposite / across the road from where the download map has labelled "Pickup and Drop Off Exit." 
    • So for Harry Styles it was actually a plastic bag that basically blocks the view of the front and back cameras. You can still use the phone screen. It's much easier than using lockers, especially for people leaving for the last train etc    I think it's basically reliant on the threat of security kicking you out if you start filming.
    • Hey, does anybody have a joining link for the WhatsApp group plz? I know the secret sets get posted there but have a new phone and number
