Not really.

The demographic that go to a SZA concert are much smaller contingent at Glastonbury, in my experience of both.

This is one of the wu tang clan right?

They were great on The Pyramid in 2011 (or was it 2010 I can't remember).

Yeah, 2011. Was a bit slow for the first 20 minutes or so but then Method Man got in a strop and properly took it up a level!

[NorthernSoul52]

The missing member of Wu-Tang Clan.

[Nduja]

You don't need tempo when you can open up like this, with a voice like hers.

I don’t think SZA is a grand enough name for headliner - but then this was the crowd for The Cure about half an hour before they came on in 2019

the cure were a naff booking for that year, but at least there's no indication - with added insult -  that they weren't first choice.

What kind of nerd turns up half an hour before an act?   😜

Maybe so but they still had a decent sized crowd and I was at the back of the field. Thought they were brilliant too and they’re a bit of a legendary act so make a lot more sense.

Yeah, it was a decent crowd where I was and looks like it on this shared video too

Agreed that Ctrl is the better album. This one makes you feel things.

 

 

I remember seeing that video a few years ago, when he got all the This is America and SNL publicity, as he appeared in that one and she appeared in his https://news.sky.com/story/this-is-america-whats-behind-the-music-video-taking-the-world-by-storm-11363692

Since then there had been a couple of times I'd tried to recall whose video it was, but my memory is a bit foggy on occasion 😊

So I'm pleased that you've helped me solve that mystery and if it's her I hope she puts on a cracking show.

We watched The Cure from almost exactly that spot and we clearly hadn't arrived yet 

[NorthernSoul52]

Eighty minutes of SZA might be absolute gangbusters. It might be DOA.

One of those bookings that, if it pays off, we'll be absolutely terrific, but if it doesn't, should still be fine if the other two Pyramid headliners deliver. 

Which, in Coldplay's case, seems to be something of a given, and with Dua Lipa's catalogue, would require a not-insignificant fumble.

[CaledonianGonzo]

They've all got the potential to smash it. None is lacking in tunes firepower.

[Wooderson]

If Justice is on WH at same time they'll close the field down.

We do get some interesting takes on here.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Close the field to prevent the mass exodus when they drop that hot mess of a song with Tame Impala

...and still they pulled off one of the greatest headline sets of all time. Blur, Radiohead 97, Stones, REM 99 Macca, Coldplay 16, Elton, Bowie, Cure 19

Given CTRL and SOS two full listens each last few days. Really wanted to love it as I think her voice is superb (that vocal on ‘All the Stars’ is otherworldly IMHO) but while I can appreciate the quality I didn’t quite get there. Irony is I’d go and see her as a sub and probably be quite excited about it but will most likely be dragged away by headliner level options elsewhere. Which isn’t a bad thing actually as I’m a cert for Dua and Coldplay. Hope she smashes it though*
 

 

 

*Secretly I still cling to the hope that it’s Olivia Rodrigo but whoever it is, I hope it’s great.

[FestivalJamie]

Any possibilities of her bringing on guests?

kendrick for all the stars?

Doja cat for kiss for me more?

Homemade dynamite with lorde / Khalid?

I see some potential for a few collab songs / guest appearances to make the set more exciting
