That is quite the drop, especially given I have no memory - from being too young - of Moby ever being at the size that he was.

 

It genuinely was one of those 6ish month things. Exact right time for him.

Review: Sam Fender at St James Park - Home

 

+ Finsbury which was 50k or something too - may as well be a stadium

Like I said... Hozier did Finsbury park. The logic is fuzzy.  Not to mention the Geordie thing with St.James'

Anyway lets not keep going on...  I just dont think hes quite headliner material yet thats all im saying. I love him but that's just my opinion.

Yeah, not disputing those two. I just think people don't seem to realise how massive O-Rod actually is and because she is newer doesn't go down as well as a Gaga, Wonder or Rihanna. I guess because they're all current it feels uninspiring but I think all 3 should be able to do it and Olivia and Sam completely deserve it when you look at sold out tours etc. 75 also seem to sell out anything they do too. 

It's the two-album catalogue, perhaps - which is weird, because plenty of pop acts have been clearly a fine shout after two albums. Nobody would have batted an eyelid on Born This Way-era Gaga, for example.

Muse could still nail it. I just think the general diminishing returns of the latter-day material makes them firmly more of a nostalgia booking now.

 

I agree, I think as we get less and less older acts around or doing their own thing bands like Muse become the legacy/nostalgia bookings and a band for the younger folk to tick of the list.

Maybe Muse could play Drones in full for its 10th anniversary. Everyone would love that. 

 

Oh please no. I consider myself a fan, but I'd rather see a new act headline or someone who hasn't done it in the past 15 years. And a Drones anniversary... that's probably my least favourite album. 😂

 

Just give them the surprise act slot, so they can use it to announce their BHAR 20th anniversary shows for 2026. 😋

Eminem with Dre and Snoop, maybe throw in 50 Cent 

 

Lady Gaga 

 

Someone else for the picnic blanket posse and or chin scratchers so I can go to WH

Personally I'd love to see 1975/Fender/Rodrigo. 

Anyone who thinks 1975 aren't big enough to headline are completely ignoring the objective facts in favour of their personal opinion, and they would absolutely smash it as a band who know full well the importance of being an excellent live band.

 

Fender/Rodrigo feels really fresh and exciting to me, I personally don't care if there isn't a huge/legacy name as one of the top 3 and I'd be there for all 3 headliners.

 

Having said that, I'd love if Muse headlined so I'd get a night off seeing one of the Pyramid headliners.

So realistically, no one has anything solid atm, its just people hyping up who they want to headline. Nothing wrong with that.

Fleetwood Mac with Lindsey, Taylor Swift playing Folklore in full, and Stevie Wonder. So if we got one out of three that’d be pretty good going.

The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift and Green Day, with Cher in the Legend slot.

Have to agree about 1975 I'd rather them not headline but they are headline level objectively. 

 

I'm just upset it looks like Fred is out of the running haha

Friday - A Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, Chappell Roan colab set

 

Saturday - The full Hamilton Soundtrack being covered by various world famous artists

 

Sunday - A 3 hour Taylor Swift set playing only tracks which wern't on the Eras tour (can get around All too Well by playing the 5 minute version)

I agree that Sam Fender not quite headliner material yet. I think this is emphasised because he’s such a great booking as pyramid sub. Arguably gets a bigger crowd as sub and would be great in the sunshine. Yeah he was bumped up in 2022 but would anyone really not wanna see him there again? 
 

With that being said, we’ve had plenty of headliners of late who were in a similar category. Any 2 of O Rod, Fender, 75 is ‘fine’. But not all 3 please. Fender as sub for stevie would be brilliant
