Matt42 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Alright whatever - it’s always me that’s called up on anything I say. at the majority of festival appearances that the band have done it’s been in the top spot. If you think Glastonbury is going to give them a top pyramid spot then good luck - but I wouldn’t count on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t accept slots below pyramid headline or at the least sub headline. I highly doubt they will be in contention for those slots.

squirrelarmy Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 It was a 7 day festival. So they were the only sub act listed amongst the proper headliners. The positioning on the poster must have been part of their contract. But they were definitely not the main act on the final day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Twenty One Pilots are a bit bigger but you can say the same about Tame Impala and their choice of festivals. Some festivals would be valuable to play even if not a headline slot; Glastonbury is one obviously, and maybe other festivals around Europe like Rock Werchter wouldn’t afford them a headline slot. It’s of course a lot less likely than if they weren’t headlining anything but it’s not black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they played in 2016 Kevin couldn’t shut up about how much he loved it. 21p have no history with the festival and I doubt they see it as something to ‘step down’ for when they just comfortably headlined Reading and Leeds.

What is this strange misconception on arcade fire that seems to come up a lot on these forums. 3 number 1 in the UK (+ a number 2) and have been selling out arenas everytime they’ve toured here since 2010. And to be fair, whilst there may be some who actually genuinely aren’t that arsed about music at the festival and rarely stray outside of the radio 1 a list and maybe yeah, they couldn’t name many AF tunes, on average glastonbury goers are more interested in music than the general population and anybody with a passing interest should know them.

And Twenty One Pilots (obviously not a Pyramid contender, but thought I'd mention). Kings of Leon also announced for Southside Festival on 19th June, it does put them firmly in Europe around Glasto time. Although I think they’d be Other headliners at best?

Matt42 Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 Arcade Fire are a unique sort of band though. Your mum and dad probably haven’t heard of them but they have more #1 albums than most bands on the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelarmy Posted October 17, 2019 Report Share Posted October 17, 2019 To add to the 21p facts. They won’t have their mass following of fans at Glasto either. There will probably be a few there but will 21p be happy performing to a general audience and its not full of their fans? How will the 21p cult cope with not being able to buy tickets for Glastonbury if they get announced. They’re not going to be at Glastonbury purely because it’s not accessible to most of their fans due to the festival already being sold out other than a small percentage of resales.

Been looking but can't find it but I definitely remember seeing a UK interview during the start of the Blurryface era where they said that playing Glastonbury was a big dream of theirs. They've taken lower slots at Radio 1 Big Weekend but that doesn't really count for anything. I'd love to see them there but I do think at this point they'd only take a headline slot, which obviously they wouldn't get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their last album disappointed a tad though, but I do think they'll headline again within 5 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
