Her performance felt really stripped down and kind of unimpressive.  I'm not particularly familiar with her stage show, but I'd hope a headlining set would have a lot more going on.

You mean like this...

Me neither but apparently so (and in some very Glasto prominent company as well)...

Also, prize for who can spot Gaga.

Blimey, was The Streets stock that low in 2009? Although they did use to take tent slots preferrably over outdoor a lot of the time

Stormzy / Gaga / The Cure

Liam Gallagher who is lined up to sub Saturday, once said of her in 2011:

Any thoughts on Lady Gaga?

LG: Yeah. She’s great. Seriously, man, we like her. She’ s the only one out there who’s got balls. I like her. She can play instruments. She can sing. She can dance. She’s weird. She’s shocking people. I like her. I like the Gaga, man.

Yeah it’s definitely true that if she wanted to she could have headlined so many festivals. 

No matter what (like Lady Gaga) I think she’l remain a requested act on these boards almost indefinitely. She may be one of these acts that we ask for but never does it.

I didn't realise this was on Netflix - anyone seen it? Worth a watch?

This thread has me hoping it Post Malone more every time I open it.

Was that 2009? Same year she did mid-afternoon/early evening on the Other Stage.

She was one of my highlights of the weekend.

Janet Jackson announced Residency with June completely clear and 30 years since the release of Rhythm Nation Album.

looking likely to be there but has she been completely ruled out to headline?

If you're a fan, then yes 100%. I went to the gig in Manchester at the Etihad but it was great to watch it on film and see all the close up moments that can get lost in such huge stadiums.

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's a big old spectacle, but - like the shows themselves - the setlist is way too reliant on a shonky album.

I do indeed - will give this a watch, thanks.

‘Cause it wouldn’t have seemed nearly as good of a booking any year previous as it would now post-Super Bowl, Coachella and A Star is Born. She’s been a massive star for years but this is the first year in which she’d seem like a massive headliner and the first in which it’d make sense to ask her to do it.

I finally got round to watching A Star Is Born last night, and for that reason alone I'm jumping aboard the Gaga train again. Would love for her to be a surprise booking. What a voice and performer. And what a spectacle a headline show would be. 

Clutching, but who bloody cares. They're my straws.

Is there a list of the time of day the previous announcements have been made midweek? 

Straws. Clutching.

Perhaps they’re so embarrassed by their other Pyramid headliners that they’re not going to announce them in advance of the poster drop

Geoff Ellis and TRNSMT would’ve been better doing this.

Is a pattern the same as a rule though? Surely the rule is that there is no pattern... 

Just give us a damn announcement!

There is a pattern. A pattern of taking us to the brink of insanity. 

We're all here Eavii now pull us back before it's too late!

[RarerThanDandyB]

Due to the passing of Andy Anderson, would you think that any potential Cure announcement for Glastonbury will be delayed? @eFestivals

Yup. This is why I’m so surprised that the comeback is being mooted as such a big deal. I am trying to remember what year Mr.Skinner last did Glastonbury (2013?) but it was to a half empty JP Tent.  Neither band nor audience really wanted to be there....

[Zacko]

With The Streets I feel like in the past four or five years there's been a big recognition of how influential the first three albums are.

Remember seeing them at Boardmasters 09 (I think) when I was about 17 and really enjoying it, but not really having a clue outside of Fit But You Know It.

It wasn't until I went to Uni that I really started to appreciate the albums as a whole, and the influence they've had. Almost like he needed to go away to come back sort of thing?
