No prize, sounded a bit more balanced in the 2023 headliner thread. let's see how it is in an hour or so!

I voted the same so we will have to split the prize.

I think there should be prizes

Think pyramid sub can get you better TV clout, but other stage headline is bigger at the actual festival? If that makes sense.

Prize is 1 'get out of clash free' pass

Neither. Same size but different.

Now that is a great prize

Definitely other headliner as it’s headlining the second stage at Glastonbury!! But I do think the pyramid sub is an awesome spot with the sun setting and the field getting full for the headliner 

[K2SO]

I've gone Pyramid sub by a whisker. They're about the same in terms of stature, but Pyramid gets you that little extra bit of TV clout

Who is bigger Lorde or Pet Shop Boys?

You also have to factor in who got the bigger crowd.  I just want to say, I only endured Lorde’s unique dancing to get to the front for Kendrick

Stop making it harder for us to get into an unnecessary argument over this!

Never seen or heard Lorde , but I'd imagine PSB are a lot bigger.

Thing with Pyramid sub is that a significant number of the audience are only there to get a good spot for the headliner.

Gone Pyramid sub. Probably swayed by tge fact I've never seen an Other headliner as they are generally shite.

But how many people at the Other stage are only really there for real sausage real mash

As an aside, Pet Shop Boys did a sound check on Sunday morning, no-one was on stage, you couldn't tell the difference.

Let's go, superb Other Headliners of recent years: Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Stormzy, Chemical Brothers.

There you go, yet more evidence that The Other Stage generally has better headliners than the Pyramid.

When was this?

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Think there's been more legendary Other headliner performances than Pyramid subs and they're headlining/closing a huge stage in their own right.

More coverage on Pyramid at the time with BBC, but with iPlayer, I bet Other headliners have a longer viewership after the event has finished, of that makes sense.

2017, maybe he didn't headline, memory's a bit fuzzy.

OK, 2 of them are decent.

I’ve gone for Pyramid sub, think there’s more kudos playing The Pointy One. 

Reckon if you gave most bands the chance, that’s what they’d choose.
