The Red Telephone Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 What with Elton playing this year, got me thinking about which acts should have graced the Pyramid…but never have. What are your top three? (Leaving aside wishful thinking like Led Zep/ Pink Floyd/ The Beatles/ Beethoven). My three: Dr Dre Alanis Morissette Erasure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeph1995 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Fleetwood Mac is probably the most obvious one, huge miss but thats on them, huge ego's and wanted more money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodgey123 Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Drake, Madonna, Rihanna (assuming I am not allowed to say Oasis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike_Like_A_Mum Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Eminem (sorry) David Bowie - I know he was there but I've never seen him and that would be a dream Prince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_c Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Not necessarily ones I'd want but should probably have headlined at some point. Eminem Fleetwood Mac Queen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry bear Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 3 minutes ago, Dave_c said: Queen I used to go to Glasto when Queen were still a four piece, and it seemed absolutely inconceivable that they, or indeed any other megastars, could play on the farm. Fast forward 15-20 years and of course we expect big names to appear, and it's a shame that we missed out on Fred gracing the Pyramid. Indeed, it's a shame we'll never see the current version of 'Queen', which still put on a great show. It's probably the most significant body of work by a UK rock band that won't be significantly represented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinky Posted June 14, 2023 Report Share Posted June 14, 2023 Prince hurts more than any of the others because we know how much Michael Eavis wanted to make it happen, how hard they pushed for him year after year, and how they basically let him dictate whatever terms he wanted in 2015 (no agreement until a month out from the fest etc) and it still didn’t happen… then he died. And it probably would have been the greatest set we ever saw up on that stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
