2024 Stage Predictions

nearly saw Ash in 2010 when they headlined JP stage against Stevie Wonder.  There was no one in the tent and so we left and saw Stevie instead.  One of my best Glasto Decisions (no shade at Ash.) 

Yeah I think there are lot's of 90's/00's indie guitar bands that probably only have a home earlyish on the Other Stage or Woodsies or maybe at Avalon and are often going to lose out to more current/relevant acts.

 

 

Yeah might come as a shock to some of them.  I saw the Charlatans on the other stage in one of the recent festivals there was hardly anyone there it was Avalon stage size crowd at best. 

I guess it's a real challenge to the guys that sort this where to put them as I could randomly be really popular or no one turns up

Yeah that's another good example. 

Given there are examples of the opposite Manics for example (acts who have played  big slots but come back in smaller slots) 

It makes me strongly feel that acts like Feeder probably are not on the booking teams radar due to a massive misalignment on what slot they should be in.  

 

I saw Feeder play ascot racecourse about 6 years ago trust me they don’t care about who/where they are playing I think they just are not really relevant anymore so don’t get booked. I’d happily watch them and Ash early on the other but I think the festival can just get more relevant names now and doesn’t need them

Saw Feeder at Manchester Ritz and believe me they were not happy in that venue.

I'd happily watch them on a smaller stage aswell.  The only trouble is some of there recent albums have been very poor and its diluting the catalogue of music they have

They could do with some self awareness of how poorly some of there new material has been received. 

I've seen them a lot and its obvious at there shows

Oh aye that's why Lil Nas X, Lizzo, Royal Blood, Lorde and Sam Fender (originally Doja Cat) have all done it in the last two years.

As i said, i did check - and thats why I said I feel.

Newer acts have also done Other stage too - so even if its more likely statistically they will do other, i feel (key word feel) they would suit the pyramid sub slot more (as the main stage rock sub which seems common each year)

Excellent lineup and prediction. Looks incredibly realistic.

Can't imagine The Smile NOT being there though. They are playing august tests and the fact they are doing some in June too is probably because they'll want to do Glastonbury. It will be their final tour for long and I'm sure they will want to tick box the festival where their story has started (Live At Worthy Farm).

The Prodigy is also lacking and I would say hopefully headlining the Other Stage Friday instead of chase n status.

They are playing a festival in France on the Friday so could only be Saturday or Sunday which is a shame as that would be a great Friday night

Get Justice and Underworld where they should be and it's okay.

The last two albums have been pretty well reviewed/received as far as I'm aware

I'm sure you can find some positive reviews out there as well as some awful ones.

I have to leave before the headliner starts on Sunday to get back for work on Monday - stayed for Elton as a one off last year because I couldn’t miss it, and the drive back almost killed me! Not risking it again.

Is Madonna locked on for Sunday (if she’s playing) or is it just speculation that has stuck? I’d love to be able to see her.

As a fan I think the last 2 albums have been the best since Comfort In Sound

This might be the best run The Pyramid has ever seen 

[CaledonianGonzo]

What about the Chumbawumba -> Fun Lovin Criminals -> Carter USM run in 1994?

[Justcalledtosay]

Has any one actually gone back and checked how close they got to the actual line up with their prediction? Next level geekery i know but

I'm sure if anyone got it close they would be the first to tell everyone. I know I would.
