Odd choice. Oh well, at least it will be alright.

[brendan84]

Baffled really by the neil young and the stevie wonder rumours a month or so back

All time music legends / huge stars who have done it now so a one and done.

Same with Beyonce and Adele, The stones, Dolly.      Probably bruce. 

 

No ticket this year but he was immense back in 09,  but not really got the same casual appeal either now with the Glastonbury attendees profile.

Love how nobody has a clue this year

me too!  I mean, there are some obvious contenders, but in general it seems like we will have some surprises and for that I am stoked

But you also have big stars like Paul McCartney who've done it multiple times. Let Neil Young belong to that category.

Macca headlined  2004 and 2022, but yes I agree let Neil Young have another crack at it. He was awesome in 2009, probably my highlight!

Loyle Carner headlining Other? Nah. Much as I like him.

Interesting. 

 

I really like him but would've thought WH a couple of years ago would've been his peak.

 

I'm also very bad at judging/knowing/caring how popular acts are, what I like them or not

Yeah I find it baffling tbh. 
 

I mean, fair play to him, seems like a decent chap. 
 

But his music is about as vanilla as it gets. 

[steviewevie]

he does that annoying "uh/yeah" thing all the time.

Wonder who'll be cooked up to contrast with The 1975 and Loyle Carner then.

WH or Woodsies will need someone dancey. 

Basement Jaxx on the former?

 

Or ideally Overmono on the latter. 

[Stokesy10]

Do people honestly think it's going to be Neil Young?

Sounds like he is playing but personally I just cannot see it being Pyramid Headliner. Just not the big status act that he may once have been now.
WH perhaps.

I’m one of those people ( aged over 60 yrs) who confesses to not knowing anything by O-Rod, or CXCX or Chappel Roan so wouldn’t be a major draw but I might give it a go just for curiosity. Not that fussed over 1975. Would be really pleased with Taylor ( seen her on Eras ) or Rhianna, or Duran or Neil Young. Stevie in 2010 was ok but he was pushing it then so might be a struggle at his age now although same could be said for Neil Young. 🤷‍♀️

At the end of the day there will be lots of options for headliners other than Pyramid. 

 

I'm 47 and out of touch with most of the 'pop' names that play Glastonburty now. Though the only way I knew them 20 years ago were through listening to Radio 1 and that type of stuff was never really for me. I've listend to Brat a couple of times though 🙂

 

Would be happy with Neil Young - though not sure how much of a crowd he'd get now, but there's not a rumoured headliner I'm desperate to see. 

 

[NorthernSoul52]

I just cannot fathom Neil Young accepting anything - particularly in band mode - below Pyramid headliner. It's not like Glastonbury has shedloads of money to throw at other people elsewhere on the bill either. (I do wonder how much GNR were in the end some days, namely because LDR reportedly got an absolute packet a year later to do a glorified sub session at R+L).

Got to be dance music... Barry Can't Swim to headline Woodsies?

[charlierc]

Feel like if we put our minds to it we could suggest another 4/5 names before the bill is revealed.

Not sure on this - Barry as far as I can tell is still touring on his first album - I can not see them getting him back to do the same show as this year on a different stage -  I know this happen lower down the bill but not for a stage headliner - can deffo see him in line for a big slot at 2027 - 

 

Perhaps Underworld or Basement Jaxx? for a dance slot on WH also they are more Veteran acts compared to the relative youth of those they are up against

I can't see Neil Young headlining in this day and age. Would seem like a strange choice to me.

[Fred Zepplin]

If Neil Young plays he headlines the Pyramid 

[tickleyt]

loyle carner is a hilariously bad booking, didnt even fill half of WH as a headliner, surely they can't be putting him top of the other?

All makes complete sense. I just feel that someone who shuts a stage down as he did this year is likely to be back the following year but I'm not sure what slot on what stage
