I'd like to see Gorillaz back, they've still got an unbelievable back catalogue to play. Doubt Damon would put up with headlining other though

I suspect they might be likelier spotted at their own shows going forward. May well be too that they're active in 2026 with a new album and touring then in 2027 Damon is off doing something else.

Depends what metric we're measuring.

 

Hell, I think the two Everything Not Saved... albums in 2019 are Foals' best two albums, but am aware they didn't create a big hit akin to Holy Fire or even What Went Down's two main singles.

What went down died pretty quickly and was the start of their demise and any chance of headlining.

Dunno how you figured that out, 3 of their top 5 most streamed songs are from that album.

It might have changed since but it was fairly well regarded that the drop off from that album did them no favours. Another Holy Fire and they might have made it but 10 years too late.

Think the drop off came from the Everything Saved era onwards. By every metric What Went Down was just as big as Holy Fire.

The strange thing is when you search Foals on Spotify, What Went Down comes up ahead of Holy Fire under popular releases. 

 

I think What Went Down and Mountain at my Gates do the heavy lifting tbf.

Tame are incredibly flat live, too.

 

Park in 2011 was a chore and I loved Innerspeaker at the time. Tried again in 2019 on the Other and we left after four tracks for Jon Hopkins (excellent choice).

I thought they were great in 2016. They're not going to headline the pyramid though I agree.

Can somebody remind us what the official line is on ‘27 headliners at this point? Has Emily confirmed any are booked? I can’t recall.

 

Post-fallow, I think we have to presume they’ll be going for a big ‘we’re back’ statement trio. Presumably they’ll try to bag a huge female act (Swift? Madonna?), and maybe a ‘last one and done’?

Hopefully it will be Gaga

There is no chance they pass up on Oasis in 2027. If they managed to get Oasis and Gaga then the last one will be cheap and likely a cheap/new bump up. There is nothing to suggests Gaga currently though.

 

Oasis I think it's the strongest prediction currently.

I really don't see Gaga happening. If there was a Glasto next year then maybe but I just don't see it working for her. (With absolutely no info at all), I can see next year being stadiums and then I genuinely think she might take some time out for a family.

I find it staggering Lady Gaga hasn't headlined yet.  She would smash it too.  She was being interviewed by the BBC and they asked her what it would take to get her to headline.  He response was just "ask me".

Surely Taylor Swift is the golden goose. The one they had locked in before the pandemic and who got away because she became too big for festivals. She’s the biggest act they could book as things stand.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
