Been to Glasto 3 times, saw 5 Pyramid headliners:
 

1 Elton John 23

2 Kasabian 14

3 Arctic Monkeys 23

 

4 Coldplay 24

5 Arcade Fire 14

I'm very surprised you've got Arctics above either of Coldplay or Arcade Fire there

10 festivals, 9 Pyramid headliners ranked

 

Kendrick 2022

Elton 2023

Coldplay 2024 (saw half the set)

Radiohead 2017

Beyoncé 2011

Guns and Roses 2023 (saw half the set) 

Kanye 2015

Arctics 2007

U2 2011

 

Had 3 years where I didn’t see a single Pyramid headliner (2008, 2009, 2019).

 

Missing Blur and The Killers (and to a lesser extent Stormzy) still pains me.

Stormzy gets me too. Hands down my biggest Glastonbury regret. Although catching the end of Kiwanuka was great, I shoulda just legged it to The Pyramid afterwards. 

 

1. Radiohead 2017

2. Kendrick 2022

3. Elton 2023

4. Arctic Monkeys 2023

5. Arcade Fire 2024. I had a great time but remember very little of the actual set.

6. Foos. I love them, but my mates hated it and we ended up leaving after 5 mins to go see Fat Boy

 

The amount of time I've seen FBS at headliner time is ridiculous, so I feel he deserves an honorary mention.

Stormzy was okay on the Pyramid, but much better on the Other Stage.

Not always one for Pyramid headliners depending on who was on over the eight times I've been but:

 

Stevie Wonder 2010

Coldplay 2011

The Cure 2019

Stormsie 2019

I seem to be in the minority here, but i really really enjoyed the AM gig in 2023 🤩 Had seen them tons of times before, but this probably was the best one for me.

 

I enjoyed the first hour of Coldplay, but lost my attention in the second part. Arcade Fire never really was my cup of tea & I barely have any memories of that gig (despite being sober 😀)

Can those of us who've only watched Pyramid heads on TV join in or is that kinda meh?

 

I agree tbf that it isn't the same experience.

I meant it's your view. I don't think Arctics will ever beat their 2013 show. The only thing that let it down was a strange Mardy Bum version.
