I'm gonna assume this is why their TRNSMT set is nowhere to be seen on iPlayer? Because everything else seems to be..

Just checked and it is on there but looks to be 10 minutes cut off and the thumbnail isn’t of them…

Ah sound. It wasn't last night, I imagine some editing has taken place between Saturday and today..

Must have been. I was there for most of the set and they do put pro-Palestine messages on the big screens at all their big shows this summer. I haven’t watched the set back yet but I wonder if they’ve done some manoeuvres around that.

Don’t think anyone’s mentioned them yet but could Muse be in with a shout? Will be 11 years since they last headlined, new music on the way and a surefire big name headliner especially if they end up skewing for newer headliners like Fred, Fender or Chappell on the other nights.

No chance for Pearl Jam for Pyramid headliners?

They'll need a drummer first.

Not necessarily... Eddie has implied they'll be away for a long while.

Has he? Didn’t know that.

 

Have always thought they have great potential for Pyramid headliners.

Hadnt got round to looking for it.... but that would not surprise me - Doechis set at Glastonbury still has not made it to Iplayer. 

 

 

Really!

That’s a disgrace. Set of the weekend. Potential Pyramid headliner

I very much doubt it's to do with the BBC not wanting to show it or due to any perceived lack of quality of the gig itself.

Well yeah. It's almost certainly down to the artist or their management deciding they don't want it to be made available.

 

But why let that get in the way of a perfectly good excuse to get upset?

I'd love it, but it feels to be like they're never even in the conversation...

I reckon definitely in with a shout, wouldn't cost big bucks either so will have more money available for Chappell, Last Gaga or whoever.

Fender/Muse/Chappell

Where is the talk of Radiohead headlining come from? Something I've missed..?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Something happening with Fleetwood Mac?

 

(Or at least Lindsey and Stevie)

Do you reckon they'd be headliner?  In my head they'd be either sub or Other headliner, just feel like they don't have the clout in the UK?  Although that might just be me.  Either way they'd be great.

Looks like it's a (first ever) reissue of Buckingham Nicks.

In terms of bands of the time so speak, are Wolf Alice not worth a shout also? Their Other Stage sub slot was brilliant imo and they command a pretty big following (whether big enough for Pyramid headliner is another thing I guess). But I deffo think their music and presence is well suited....

 

A successful forthcoming album and they might get Other headliner or Pyramid sub (to a semi-bemused audience and a chunk of loyal fans, think The National 2017), but no chance of them even in the frame for Pyramid headliner.

I think Pearl Jam have said they wouldnt ever headline a festival where their fans wouldnt have a chance to buy tickets, so glastonbury might be off the cards for that reason. 

But then they also said bollocks to ticketmaster and obscene ticket prices, before chancing their arm at £120 a pop at Tottenham a couple of years ago, and subsequently cancelling due to 'illness' and not 'bugger, we've sold 20k tickets in a 50k arena due to ridiculous ticket prices' so im not sure how i feel about their chat any more 😄

Those are my principles and if you don't like them...well, I have others.

Yeah like I remember after their name was brought up in this thread I remember NME did an interview with their guitarist Stone Gossard pretty recently asking if they would ever do it and he just went (not a direct quote) “I don’t know. We might have been offered it a while ago but I can’t remember. I do know it’s a major and impactful festival in the UK.”

Pearl Jam headlined BST 2 days in 2022.
