I think I missed something. What info?

People have heard Lizzo is subbing The Pyramid Saturday and QOTSA are on before Elton.

Still a less thematically curious pairing than having Biffy Clyro sub-headlining Ed Sheeran in 2017.

Edit: I KNOW I'm straying into 'Adele to sub Radiohead' kinda territory here but is it entirely beyond the realms of possibility that AM would sub them? In a charitable cap doff to their Sheffield elders? Is it only in my dreams that AM could choose to appear humble rather than be schooled and eviscerated by Pulp playing before them?

I just don't think that's how act bookings work. AM and Pulp wouldn't really get a say in who they play before based on where they're from. I love Pulp but AM are just far far larger.

I can't see that Arctic Monkeys singer fella feeling like he owes anything to his Sheffield elders either.

Obviously a wildly different scenario, but wasn't there chat Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds were picked by Paul McCartney as his lead-in?

Imagine if that was a regular thing and Axl Rose has picked Lizzo.

I just struggle to understand Guns N Roses as a headliner. I keep reading it and I can’t make it work in my mind. I thought they were a comedy nostalgia act these days. Must’ve got it wrong.

I can get that impression. But still a tremendously sizable draw, I guess.

Elton and Josh Homme are buddies.

Reg even played on Like Clockwork.

[NorthernSoul52]

Reg does play on everything, in all fairness.

Liked his spot with Gorillaz the other year, then there's the Fall Out Boy collaboration, and then he's pianoing it all over the Scissor Sisters' I Don't Feel Like Dancin'.

The man gets all over the shop.

the silent disco, please.

Closer connection to Reg than John Beef and the lads.

[Hugh Jass II]

Might be one of those where Reg, as headliner,  has asked for them personally…

[CaledonianGonzo]

I, Reg Hercules Dwight, can't go onstage until I see a man who looks like Donald Trump kick a woman in the head.

Not like Reg doesn’t have a history with people who work down the front of the stage.

Maybe that’s what they bonded over…

Knew he wasn’t involved in the upcoming reunion, but didn’t realise he was that ill.
