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     

pretty sure they pay out after they have performed btw, not on announcement

Seems the most likely, but nobody knows. Everything else to play for, despite the ambassadors 😂

Top 5:   David Bowie (2000) Levellers (1994) Paul McCartney (2022) Radiohead (1997) [would be higher, but the mud made everything worse that year] The Cure (1995)  

I thought it did ... that opening slot is weird , hard to get the energy right . certainly not dead in terms of crowd numbers
