I’m fine with the PSBs I hasten to add.

The rest of the line up is alarmingly shite.

I’m counting on them being there. I’ve loved tonight so much!! So happy. 

[Gilgamesh69]

Fuck that was great.  Just let them headline every stage 

[Big Vern]

Given the number of times Neil mentioned Glastonbury in the pre interview, id say theyre nailed

[Dronx]

Other stage headliner? 

[FakeEmpire]

Watched the Hyde Park set on TV last night and it was brilliant - just full of joyous, pop songs.   Cannot believe it's been 9 years since I saw them at Glastonbury.   Was a great crowd for them at the Other Stage last time, definitely keen to do it again next year!

[Mardy]

Last time they played Glastonbury it was a closed set cos of the production (that wall of bricks etc). If they need that kind of set again, they could only really headline. However, for a more minimal set (like they had on the last tour), they could easily sub the Pyramid. What was the stage setup last night, for the Hyde Park thing?

That's exactly what they did in 2010 innit?

Quite minimalist. Basically a full height backdrop curtain and 2 revolving discs that they used to enter. Apart from that it was a basic stage setup.

Could easily see that on West Holts, but depending who they're up against they may need to be on t'Other (if only considering them as headliners).

Ah, yeah, those discs are what they used on the last tour, I think. That’s a pretty basic set up, and could easily work on any stage and any slot. I imagine they’ll be revamping everything for the tour that kicks off next year though, I presume it’s going to be a lot more spectacular for the greatest hits show. But they could easily use that disc thing for Glastonbury

[Crazyfool01]

They need some pyramid stage hats to improve the look 

[Mardy]

This is the one from last time I saw them. Was last night's similar?

Yeah, need to bugger about with a vpn, will give it a go this evening. Thanks mate

[Mardy]

Watching that pre-gig interview now (thanks @Gnomicide ) they’ve mentioned Glastonbury twice. It’s clearly on their mind, and i wouldn’t be surprised if there wasn’t a handshake agreement when they were there earlier this year. 

I’m always sort of surprised, cos I never think of them as a Glastonbury band, but of course they are, lots of history with the festival, and i reckon they ‘get it’ more than a lot of other artists.

Does feel like a done deal doesn't it?

Predicting more of an ELO sized crowd than a Kylie.

for the legend id put the crowd size between the two based on the fact they have a few more singalongs than ELO

Less rare, however.
