Cabaret Vert (French Festival) with one of the strangest headliner bookings of the year in Will Smith, Glasto wouldn’t would they? (Obviously not pyramid, but if you had to put him on a stage the park???)
In 18 festivals I don’t have many standout pyramid headliners.. I’m more often found at other stages at headliner time.
1. Dua Lipa 2024 - far and away my favourite set on the pyramid. From our front row catwalk spot it was an absolutely stunning pop set.
2. REM 2003
3. Blur 2009
4. Billie Eilish 2022 - impressive lighting.. great energy. I hope she comes back one day.
If they can get someone else of note to headline, maybe it's time for The Levellers to take a backseat? Or would that alienate the festival's core fan base?
Nice bump
