Seventeen's final song was legitimately a great time and weekend highlight.

That is why we turned up. Didn't last long mind, was boy band by numbers which isn't my thing. I did expect a few more there though. Not their audience really I guess.

 

Did play can you count them all as they danced (walked) around a lot. 

Perhaps it didn't work out because what they're doing is pretty much 90s pop from the US/UK 😅 it didn't exactly come across as Korean tbh. Blaming Tiger on the other hand... 👍🏼

I go back and forth about Eminem headlining but f**k me, it would be a moment to hear this pumping out of the Pyramid. All things considered, I think it would be great.

Absolutely this. Just because it hasn’t regularly been a band slot doesn’t mean it hasn’t not be at some point. Duran Duran would be superb for example, as would Pulp.

Emily has stated in the past that it isn't a band slot and Duran Duran have said it's headline or nothing for them.

It would be what folks like to call an “all timer”

An all-time low.

She has 2 Manchester shows to reschedule, my thinking is that if she already has plans to be back in Europe they will be be arranged for them. 
 

the fact that they haven’t been cancelled yet, or announced the new dates makes me think she is back next year. 

yeah, but I think if she has to hold off on announcing those dates til say, December then youll know if she has festival aspirations in general by that point. 
 

If Blackpink played Glasto they certainly would not be ok with performing at 2pm after headlining Coachella and selling out a  BST date. So maybe 3rd down at worst.

Presuming they got the whole package - Eminem, Dre and Snoop it would likely be great

On the other hand, the all time Pyramid dad dancing record will be smashed to smithereens.

Absolutely not. Was brilliant. Unless you turned up expecting to hear half of the Bends in the first 6 songs.

Agreed. Daydreaming at the start wasn't great but that wasn't the fault of the band. After that it was a show and a half. They played f***ing Let Down!

They didn’t get anywhere near selling out BST, it was dead.

[nikkic]

Radiohead were good, not great. 
 

The band sounded ace, but those f**king screens man, awful awful awful.

And no Reckoner. 

So 7/10.

They all must have been clustered around me then, I found it very busy. Maybe as their fans are more screamy and fanatic. But then my only reference point last year was Bruce and in the Gold Circle at least that was pretty chill.

I don’t remember Emily saying that and either way, things change. I didn’t say Duran Duran would do it, I know what they said, I just said they would be superb.

They would be...I'd be happy with em as a headliner. 

Emily definitely said that though.
