Stick Hacienda on Other, it's not like they drew a mahoosive crowd on the Pyramid, from my admittedly hazy memory anyway.

very small ... we were easily able to walk inside the crush barrier and put a couple of chairs and picnic blankets down

Would make more sense. It may have been great and they may want to kick things off in the same way next year but that can be done just as easily on Other, where stuff gets repeated all the time. I don't really see them wanting to repeat the exact same thing on the Pyramid at the following festival, unless it's going to be a massively different show.

The Hacienda bloke reckons Emily told him they got the biggest ever crowd for a Pyramid opener. The audio of him talking about it all is here, from about 1:40: http://stagedoor.fm/2017/12/01/hacienda-classical-self-confirm-for-glastonbury-2019/

Have there ever been any Pyramid openers who you'd expect to Draw a crowd, though? It's usually some random choir or ballet or whatever. In the 4 years I've been going the only act I remember opening the Pyramid other than Hacienda Classical is the Syrian Orchestra with Damon Albarn.

Edit: Oh Rolf Harris did it? I doubt they got a bigger crowd than he did.

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere already. Did anyone hear the interview?

To be fair I think the Hacienda crowd was still bigger than average for the slot.

[dentalplan]

Bigger than Damascus Damon and the lads?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Definitely.  

[Gnomicide]

Rolf was heaving (that sounds wrong).

[henry bear]

I thought the Hacienda lot would have worked better on a smaller stage later on, when eveyone’s mashed.

Could HC headline the Park one night? They had a Bowie orchestra thing late on a couple of years ago.

In fairness, it wasn't as sparse as that further back. A lot of people probably weren't interested in being on top of it.

On the Janelle Monae subject, given she has only 1 day between doing the Sunday and then London, Dublin and Manchester, I could potentially see her doing the Saturday night to give herself two nights off before the tour starts which would also put Macca back on Sunday and The Cure on Saturday where Neil I believe thinks they will be. It doesn't stop a clash on Saturday night on Other with The Chemical Brothers though.

Even if Janelle Monae was playing Saturday, why would that mean Paul McCartney would now be playing Sunday?

What the fuck hahahahaha

And why does Janelle Monáe need 2 days off before she does 3 more dates? Is she the new Macca? Soon we won't be able to have anyone who's got another show the week of Glasto cos they'll need to rest.

Anyone Reckon Hacienda Classical could headline the Park?
