swannymere Posted 1 July, 2015 Posted 1 July, 2015 (edited) So slowly running out of 60's and 70's legends and genuine Pyramid worthy artists any guesses for headliners 2016? Foo Fighters - A formality? Roxy Music The Chemical Brothers/Fatboy Slim Duran Duran Led Zeppelin Rhianna The Cure Pearl Jam Edited 1 July, 2015 by swannymere
Jonnyboy Posted 1 July, 2015 Posted 1 July, 2015 All good calls but Emily Eavis was saying Foos will definitely do it but maybe not next year.
DuncanRG Posted 1 July, 2015 Posted 1 July, 2015 The 2016 headliners were booked before Foo Fighters pulled out so it won't be them. Aretha Franklin in the legends slot, please.
Batman Posted 1 July, 2015 Posted 1 July, 2015 after kanye west probably be taylor swift. suit the direction this thing is going
Jonnyboy Posted 1 July, 2015 Posted 1 July, 2015 Boney M Are quality, saw them at Beautiful Days 2008!

dubai_phil Posted 2 December, 2015 Posted 2 December, 2015 Guns n Roses or AC/DC would be awesome, Blur just did Abu Dhabi Think we might see Adele finally Go Large (Mrs D_P knows someone who said she knows Adele's Kindergarten teacher's Indian Grandparents Martian Sister that lives in Borneo cloning Orangutans or something who says it's a done deal) And Coldplay have a new album coming out I think so they will be gagging for publicity Toto are on tour so could fill a legends spot as is Jones the Voice or maybe a Julio & Enrique Iglesias double act? Totally can't believe we got tickets for next year, I'd been on a Stag do so overslept, one of my crew was on holiday in Turkey with no WiFi in his hotel and the final member had started drinking at 10am on the Saturday before going to the egg chasing at Twickenham and basically pulled an all nighter with mates, he was still drinking when his alarm went off at 08:55 so he logged on from his phone and boom straight in and booked tickets by 09:04am
swannymere Posted 19 January, 2016 Author Posted 19 January, 2016 The Cure apparently from a good, reliable source. Also ZZ top have been confirmed on a Dutch website, not a band i'd pay to see but might be worth it as part of a festival.
swannymere Posted 18 February, 2016 Author Posted 18 February, 2016 So Coldplay confirmed for Sunday night and although not a big fan they are much better live than their recorded output suggests still disappointed as they seem to be on heavy rotation. Still keeping fingers crossed for The Cure although i believe they're doing other festivals so unlikely. Couldn't give a monkeys about ELO though.
Nordic Saint Posted 18 February, 2016 Posted 18 February, 2016 The 2016 headliners were booked before Foo Fighters pulled out so it won't be them. Aretha Franklin in the legends slot, please. Aretha Franklin has only ever appeared in the UK once before and that was by royal invitation at Buckingham Palace in 2002. Her only previous appearances in Europe were in 1968. Apparently, it's difficult for her to fly as she has to be carried off the plane through the rear exit: "Airplane landings after throwing back the booze until she was drunk as a skunk traumatized her. She had to be taken off the plane by the rear exit to avoid reporters." She also cancels most of her concerts at the last minute. So, it's unlikely she'll appear even if she is booked.
swannymere Posted 27 February, 2016 Author Posted 27 February, 2016 Muse on Friday night then, getting a feeling of Deja Vu with the main stage line up so far, hopefully they'll be more interesting stuff around the other stages.
swannymere Posted 19 March, 2016 Author Posted 19 March, 2016 Not that bothered by Adele, bit of a MOR Pyramid stage Headliner lineup. I'd be disappointed if i paid for a ticket, fingers crossed for the other stages.
swannymere Posted 30 March, 2016 Author Posted 30 March, 2016 Full lineup announced today, pretty pleased overall although definitely lacking the WOW factor. New Order, Underworld, Richard Hawley, The 1975, Cyndi Lauper, Fat Boy Slim & PJ Harvey will do me. But lacking on the early Hip Hop front but we'll see what happens.

I'm a little mainstream with Hip Hop, the last thing i bought was Kendrick Lamar although i do like B.Dolan. I've got Brown Sugar by D'Angelo will dig it out for a listen again. I'll also look up Little Simz, cheers.
swannymere Posted 31 May, 2016 Author Posted 31 May, 2016 Loving Little Simz, very different from anything i'd normally listen to, cheers for the recommendation.
