O'Doyle Rules Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Admit it…a reunion would be a great gig 😄 Probably big enough for the legends slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Doyle Rules Posted July 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 One of the most random underrated live acts… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkete Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 19 years ago we went to see them in a smallish venue in Bristol.. That turned out to be their breakthrough year. There were quite a few of us and we were having a big night then going back to a flat for a party. Their drummer was invited and bless him he came along too. He left the band but not for a few more years so hopefully not entirely our fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprefan Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Well hopefully Jake put some thought into it since he played this year. So jow 10 year reunions are considered legends slot worthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olshansky Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 would be great fun, but not for the legends slot. could see it on woodsies early evening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinky Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 As I put in the stage predictions thread, there are a lot of big albums hitting their 20th anniversary next year, including Scissor Sisters, so prime time for them to get back together and be on the bill somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigpusher Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 In 2010 they were probably my biggest surprise at my first festival I thought they wee fantastic. Would love to see them again. Was gutted to miss Jake Shears but a clash with Queen Lizzo he sadly couldn't win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Mid afternoon or Pyramid opener would be great … thanks Emily / Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yokel Again Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Enjoyed tloads hem the first time on the Pyramid, less so the second time (they were still pretty good, but the first one was ace). Not sure they would be anywhere near Legends though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinky Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Let’s roll it all back to the 2004 clash again, 3pm Saturday - Scissors on the Pyramid, Keane on the Other, Dogs Die in Hot Cars in the tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can imagine the members have had a fair few people in their ear suggesting a 20 years since the first album tour. First album is excellent, and I did like Night Work, so, I'd be for it.

ICGenie Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Jake Shears was my surprise of 2023. I knew he would be good and was in Avalon pre - Mel C, but I didn’t expect him to be THAT good. Really impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuwarr Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Easy to forget just how big they were in the 2000s. The first album sold nearly 3 million copies in the UK alone and some of their biggest hits came from their second record. I'd absolutely love to see them if I had the chance. Jake seems to be smashing it lately too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorontoScot Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Jake Shears was class this year. Not packed at all, but busy enough to be a brilliant party atmosphere! It was a 50/50 split of his solo stuff and scissor sisters tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comfy Bean Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 Wickerman somehow managed to book them to headline in 2012. Absolute scenes. One of my favourite headline sets anywhere. Just checked back and Wickerman also booked Chic to sub Amy MacDonald in 2013. We had seen Chic on West Holts that year and couldn’t believe they weren’t headlining. Those were the days before Nile would play the opening of a shopping centre. They got less than an hour so fortunately he kept the chat to a minimum and got on with nailing it.

O'Doyle Rules Posted July 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 (edited) Let the petition begin 😄 Maybe questionable if they’re legends - but they have at least 6/7 big songs from the 00s which would keep the pyramid entertained, and have a good history with the festival. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’re up there (if they reform). Edited July 4, 2023 by O'Doyle Rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
