@bamberI was going to say Lily Allen.

Thought you said original artists only?

If Paul McCartney isn't Wings then Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott are certainly not The Housemartins.

Edit: I now see you acknowledged this earlier.

There are very few UK number ones as it turns out, 20 -30 per year. The chances of seeing/hearing 5 in one weekend are slim as it goes, if you know maths, and think about it. 2014 was loverly. 

 

Which year did we see the balloon trapise artists floating around the site in the still air, early hours?

I just checked to see if any megastar played more than number...Kylie played six. 

One by each artist surely is an implied stipulation?

[grumpyhack]

I'm confused, but that's what lockdown does.  Has anyone got it right?  What's the current question?

[Crazyfool01]

I’m now confused again also 

[stuartbert two hats]

Still grumpyhack's impossible multipart question about the classical stage I think.

[grumpyhack]

Oops - Sorry if that's the case.  Here are the answers and then whoever fancies it can set us something else to muse on.

The Classical Stage was in 1986 and was programmed by John Williams, classical guitarist and performer with Sky.

Those appearing, as well as Williams, included Gerald Garcia (guitar and not to be confused with Jerry Garcia), Alan Schiller, Mick Taylor (sitar), Francis Monkman (synthesiser, founding member of Curved Air who also played in Sky).

This is a bit of Curved Air live with a song written by Monkman and singer Sonjia Kristina

 

Ian the Worm got John Williams so maybe he deserves to puzzle us next.

Did we find out the answer to first black headliner? Curtis Mayfield 1983...?

 

 

[The life of Pablo]

Oh wow I didn't think it was that long ago. I was at Libertines, seen them on the John Peel earlier on. 
Looks class!

Yeah that was my question before I fought to have a chance to ask a question (My bad!) 
I always thought it was Skunk, nobody seems to mention Curtis Mayfield.

Might have been Richie Havens in 1982.

[stuartbert two hats]

Did Curtis Mayfield or Richie Havens actually headline?

According to Somerset live (which is not necessarily to be trusted) Curtis did but not Richie..? https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/look-headliners-glastonbury-festival-1970-47265

I think Havens closed the festival on Sunday night on the Pyramid, which makes him a headliner to me.

Love the knowledge 

Your go @grumpyhack

[grumpyhack]

OK an easy one to keep things moving along.....  Name three religious leaders/senior religious figures to have addressed the Glastonbury Festival from the Pyramid Stage.

That could be a whole discussion subject in its own right - but in terms of an answer to the question no.
