I’ve been to 6 festivals and have seen (I think!) 10 headliners on Pyramid. Some of the best headliners have been non-Pyramid but on the Pyramid:
1. Killers 2019 and 2007 (despite sound issues - 2007 was my first Glastonbury and my favourite band and was really what got me hooked on the festival and 2019 was also brilliant)
2. Elton John 2023
3. Blur 2009
4. Macca 2022
5. Coldplay 2024
6. Dua Lipa 2024
7. Billie Eilish 2022
Arctic Monkeys ‘23 and Bruce ‘09 don’t make the cut for me.
think mine prompted them although id likely to have been on them fairly soon anyway .... Good luck all in the draw , this one always seems harder to find the winners
Bring Me The Horizon
Enter Shikari
Ashnikko
I Prevail
Joey Valence & Brae
Bilmuri
Destroy Boys
Lambrini Girls
EKKSTACY
I don’t feel it throws the baby out with the bathwater. I don’t even think it looks dissimilar to a normal R&L Main Stage lineup these days.
