Was an absolute hoot wasn’t it, bar the ferry on the way home.

 

The ferry back from Bestival was awful - I remember coming back and 'My Heart Will Go On' playing on a loop, a very rough sea and a dirty hangover.

Otherwise, great festival.

Raye being on the menu for the forthcoming festival season is a positive.  Would she be back in the UK in time for Glasto or is she touring north america at the time?

not sure where she would fit in at glasto 2025, they're obv trying to push her but a lot of the big slots have solid rumours attached to them

Hozier top line at a US festival wow who knew he was that big. 

 

It's a bad lineup tho

[Pr0paneNightm4re]

I can see Raye headlining in a shocking move. She’s blown up as of late and has large industry backing (the brits show felt pointless to watch as they just handed her everything). I saw her at Parklife and thought she was fantastic but can’t help that in a few years time she’ll be looked at similarly to the likes of Paloma Faith.

Yeah that's awful. Coachella really hasn't had to try hard to take a crowd this year.

If they got Raye headlining considering other events she's doing over Olivia that would be madness.

I believe WISP are a WASP tribute band from New Zealand.

They’ve really f**ked up there. Justice can’t be anything other than headliners

Bonnaroo is a multi-stage festival.  Justice will be headlining a stage (probably the tent) just like they did at Glasto, on the same day as Olivia Rodrigo.

Ah, fair enough, cheers for the info

Several years back, when his stock was a lot lower, it was a reasonable enough viewpoint.

Was this low stock point (which I can't recall) at the same time as the Pyramid nadir of Landfill Indie Friday around 2007?  It can't have credibly been at any point thereafter. Class is permanent etc.. I saw him in Vegas in 2008, then a Stadium in 2014...think anyone saying he was going to pop into "El Pointo" on a Sunday afternoon was sounding silly.

I think there's some good names on here for the younger crowd if it's not insanely expensive

No - but it was prior to the quadruple-whammy of his Autobiography, the Rocket Man film, his emergence as a chart contender and the announcement of the farewell tour.

 

About the time his only gigs seemed to be in odd rural football stadiums.

I'm surprised at how she isn't popping up much in people's predictions here as a Pyramid sub given the fact she's touring, playing a fair few festivals, and given how much Emily loves her.

Raye needs to first release more bigger songs/hits to advance to headliner.

[Olshansky]

That Bonaroo lineup does nothing for me.

Would have been similar to the average age of the entire festival given the huge audience 

 My friend (who is the one who persuaded me to come back this year) left the Elton set half way through and said it's the most dead he'd ever seen the rest of the site. He's not keen on crowds, so just ended up getting off his face on something and bopping to Rudimental (or someone like that).

Megadeth? Bit random. I'm here for it but random.

The rest of the site was like a ghost town from long before the Elton set, at least S of the Railway track, presumably elsewhere as well. It was a great illustration of how the demographic has changed. Anyway good on your mate, he made the right move

Better than Boston Calling but still missing a few names for me.
