Im not surprised - it's technically very demanding to keep rapping whilst waving around a chainsaw and getting your bum out.

He hasn’t done anything cool like that for decades. He just wears that silly style cap (which I see nobody else wearing, ever) with his hood up. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Imagine waiting on the railing all day for Eminem to get his bum out and then his trousers remained up the entire time 😔

Eminem was dire at Leeds 2013. Came on late, played snippets of songs, mimed through massive sections of it. It was crap. 

I actually had an absolute riot at this set, but then I was 18 and smashed...

[Bike_Like_A_Mum]

I enjoyed him at Vfest many years ago. Had Rhi Rhi out with him as well. Scenes

[CaledonianGonzo]

Did she also get her bum out?

He's notoriously hit or miss live though. I heard quite a few negative reports about his previous two sets at Reading and Leeds.

I’ve seen him twice, he was fantastic both times. 

[NorthernSoul52]

I though Jarvis Cocker was the original bum, and the best?

t's a clunky way of me saying if an act is big enough and a popular enough that they can headline a festival then I don't think the content of their songs is going to stop it happening.

then you're thinking wrong. it stopped m&m getting booked.

i saw him first time at reading. didn't feel like he smashed it, the d-12 bits stopped it from getting going properly.

no one wearing a velveteen jacket is a bum.

(no one who has taken my photo is a bum 😛 ).

Ahhh, the well-known, often celebrated milestone that is the 21st.

You didn't celebrate your 21st birthday?

Not sure the logic that makes 21 a notable birthday applies here. It's just not an anniversary year is it? I can accept 5th, 10th, 20th, 25th etc as major milestone anniversaries but 21 is just another year. If bands put out a 21st anniversary rerelease of a record immediately after a 20th anniversary rerelease it would be ridiculous.

They were going to do something for the 20th anniversary, then 1 of them died.

Ah fair enough. Claiming random anniversaries will remain a hill I'll die on but I can make an allowance for this one. 

Moving back on topic, if they were at Glastonbury where would they fit? I'm assuming the Avalon slot of Sugababes and Mel C would be too small but headlining the Pyramid also feels insane.

Maybe the Rick Astley 'open the day' slot?

Neither of the times I saw him were at festivals (Ninex and Wembley) so maybe his act just ain’t suited for festivals 🤷🏻

It’s a big thing for Yanks with the drinking age thing. Not relevant here though. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

More of a legend slot booking - and they're already busy on the Saturday night with likely more dates to follow.

Or subbing someone like Madge.

[Gnomicide]

I've seen Angus Young get his bum out.

[sw25]

Girls Aloud would be good for the Lewis Capaldi 3rd from top slot he did this year.

Coldplay - ? - Girls Aloud

Also think McFly deserve a place on the Pyramid this year and they would make a good opening act.
