If the headliners are Neil Young, 1975 and O Rod, there is a fair chance I won't be seeing a Pyramid headliner. I like the idea of Neil Young and his songs are good but having listened to him again, I do find his voice a bit screechy. I don't dislike either 1975 nor O Rod but neither am I particularly bothered by them. I may be at any, either if I'm at a loose end or if I suddenly take to them in the next 6 months or I may be at none.
But after recent crushes at headliner sets, I'm not sorry if I'm not in one this year. (hey, it's good to say "this year" isn't it?)
Agree. I can almost understand the view that Elton would have been legend slot worthy if you'd had your head in the sand for the last 10 years.
There was a time in recent memory that if Elton had headlined people would have been outraged. A few things changed that - Yellow Brick Road anniversary, his farewell tour, collaborations with younger artists. I would argue, however, that his body of work is still due a wider re-evaluation - people still mainly care about the hits.
