Thats on me, I thought he was 3rd down, other than that though I really can't think of many.

I forgot Billie played third down instead of sub as she was also who I had in mind.

Mumford & Sons also went from other sub to headlining the pyramid.

Going to have to pull you up on that one, HuJa*

"Going to California" with the sun finally breaking through the heavy rain clouds was worth the ticket price alone.

 

 

* the kids can call you that

Upvoted just for HuJa.

Yep, I'm with you on that one, Gnomster. The Pyramid run of Lana Del Rey, Robert Plant, Jack White and Metallica will take some beating. Can anyone beat that? Probably worth a new thread. The best three or four act straight run on a single stage.

Not all the same stage but my day went Rev Peyton's Big Damn Band > Royal Blood > Fat White Family > Robert Plant > Manics > Metallica > Rusty Shackle > Pronghorn > sleep.

Yes it would, but the BBC would probably want to cover it.  Also this time it wouldn’t be plant and the space shifters, it would be Plant  and Alison Krauss so very different setlists.  Though I’d love to hear her on Kashmir 😉

Again, there wasn’t a massive clamour to see him last time. I don’t see what’s changed between then and now.

I didn’t do the acts in this order but

First Aid Kid -> Kris Kristofferson -> Royal Blood -> The XX -> Radiohead was pretty banging

Didn't Kelis play that day as well or have I mixed up my days?

[Hugh Jass]

It included a brief detour to the Acoustic but my favourite day run remains:

Wolf Alice - Madness - Last Shadow Puppets - Art Garfunkel - Adele

Very true, not much changed, and this time very different set list with Alison Krauss, though theBBC would want to cover the set which might influence which stage.

I could see daytime Pyramid. He played fourth down in 2014, and he isn't getting anything higher this year.

Third down in 2014!

So he was, that's age playing tricks on me. I watch him them Manics then Pixies on the Other the Ferry on WH. Which is why in my head he was on fourth.

My point remains, fourth down at best these days.

I think he will be fourth down perhaps 5th down lowest.

This begs the question whether Aerosmith are opening the pyramid… didn’t the original info say that they were playing much lower than we’d expect. Can’t get lower than an opening set!

It was good on paper but (for me) Lana Del Rey and Jack White were poor, and even though I knew what it would be like going into it so wasn’t disappointed, Robert Plant doing his weird renditions of Led Zep songs doesn’t set the world alight.

Metallica were great but their music just isn’t that good compared to half the acts who headline Glastonbury, and they didn’t play Battery as they are stupid goths.

Kylie > Miley > VW > The Cure is probably my favourite one stage run I’ve had at Glasto.

[Matt42]

Kacey Musgraves -> Camila Cabello -> Elbow -> Lana Del Rey -> Kendrick Lamar

Gone, but never forgotten.

[Haan]

Someone earlier in the thread said we need a romano for glasto- i would argue we need an El Chiringuito.

Plant & Krauss are probably a bigger act as a duo than their respective solo careers, indeed their first album did far better than any of their solo stuff, and won numerous awards. If they play the Pyramid I wouldn’t particularly expect them to play lower than third.

Apparently she did. On before Lana Del Rey.

Ngl I have a nagging hunch the subs could be Harry Styles, Noel Gallagher, Jack White…

This would be crazy strong. But you'd have to hedge a guess that Harry's team might not want their Wembley Stadium headliner subbing Billie Eilish when a bigger prize is possible.

At any rate, the Coachella slot has opened up a whole new discourse. 3rd down the Pyramid no longer, he's bound to headline in the next handful of years now.

I’d agree with you but he has to be playing somewhere on Glasto Friday. Weird to not be anywhere Fri and Sat on a tour.

I mean he could announce something but I don’t know why it wouldn’t be in the initial wave of dates.
