Really? Somehow I think Macca will have one or two more people in front of him. 

We'll see, but my bet is that there won't be much in it.

If you'd have offered me 10 points clear of 3rd in December at the start of the season I'd have snapped your hand off. But still, that was a harsh reminder that Leeds are still Leeds.

We don’t want to be top at Christmas anyway after what happened last year.

...Kendrick will probably join the list of rappers who headline and it’s a bit of a non event 

I have a feeling this comment will age like milk...I hope so anyway.

The Streets were also booked in a much smaller stage than they should have been.

In fairness The Chemical Brothers were supposed to be on the Other Stage that night which I think would've thinned out the crowd somewhat.

I'll send you a click counter and you can let me know ?

how on earth is Kendrick Lamar ‘pop’

I swear some people don’t even listen to music 

Out of the 3 headliners Kendrick is the farthest away from pop.

We all know Diana Ross is getting the biggest crowd of the weekend

Followed by Aerosmith, which will be busier than Macca, IMO

Quite. The impact TPAB and Damn have had despite a near-total absence of commercial appeal (you can count on one hand the number of radio-oriented songs across both albums) is part of what makes him so remarkable.

Even as a 1975 stan, Kendrick/Macca/Taylor is a phenomenally well-balanced trio, that could only possibly have been improved by swapping Macca for the Mac so that there were no repeat headliners.. that there is a single person complaining baffles me.

I wonder if we'll get an early first poster drop next year?

Going by recent announcements we may well do

[billum]

I wonder if these Pyramid headliners’ early announcements mean we might also get a couple of Other Stage announcements before the poster, since they are also ”Pyramid-size acts”

Not a chance. Macca will be huge.

[Crazyfool01]

we've only had the early announcements because we've already known the early announcements .... if we work out the other stage headliners with some certainty they will get announcements too I would have thought .... the first poster drop might have the excitement of the bandstand lineup on it though

I'm not doubting he will be huge, however I believe there will be more people leaving after Aerosmith than arriving! 

Aerosmith as a sub will have far less competition than Macca headlining. 

[Superscally]

I'd be confident he'll have the biggest crowd of the weekend, depending on Diana's competition. Before you say Taylor, Sunday pyramid crowds are never the biggest, despite the local influx.

[gfa]

Frusciante just rejoined RHCP could be back in the runnings?

They can be, and especially when it's a feel good mainstream act.

Stevie Wonder absolutely packing out the field as an example, and more recently Coldplay.

Diana will have the biggest. Macca will no doubt pull a huge crowd. Will be interesting to see the crowd shift from Aerosmith (if subbing) to Macca. There would have to be some Other/WH headliner to do so

I'd have been very interested to have seen how big Coldplays crowd would have been without the glowy bands...swayed half of our camp to go! I didn't think Stevie was that busy either...not where we were. What a fucking gig though. Actually, both of em were whizzbangers.

Gerry Cinnamon? ?

[dentalplan]

I think Diana Ross will be more Gibb level than Parton or Richie. Not biggest of the weekend when they have some of those other names about.

She doesn’t have as much of a novelty factor and imo her songs don’t have the same ubiquity in that people know straight-off that they are Diana Ross tunes.

Was there ever an “are you going to go see Diana Ross” poll on here?
