I'd agree! Having seen him Saturday in Manchester, he's Pyramid-headliner worthy for sure.... a change in my view of this time a week ago. Cracking gig! By the time you add a couple more tunes from new album, I think he'd be ace as a Friday headliner.   Agreed on Wunderhorse... think I heard similar bands at Battle of the Bands at school 15 years ago. Nothing special at all.

Pretenders were great in that slot 2017. James were late, as you say, due to trying to lay loads more wood chip. Remember crowds standing outside the metal barriers still wondering if they would open the main stages at all! Ground was splonging. 

omg really?! i regret putting that on then if it's tied up that long. Oh well, hopefully free money 

sziget without dreher??? how?

Oooh, this is tricky! I dont want to put em in order, but if i have to rank my pyramid headliners, then here goes:    1) Stevie Wonder, 2010 2) Elton John, 2023 3) The Cure, 2019 (never heard better sound than that ever, anywhere 4) White Stripes, 2005   I'd rank other headliners higher, cos i prefer smaller stages - Sigur Ros at the JP in 2014 (was it that year? i think) Dead Kennedys at the Truth stage in 2017 Gojira at the Truth stage 2019 - would all be above Stevie.   the no.1 top performance i've ever seen at the festival was Ho99o9 in the Earache express in 2017, that was absolute bottled madness, wasnt really a headliner but was amazing. amazing. In a tube carriage ffs
