Pyramid Subs 2024

[NorthernSoul52]

I think that is the thing. In terms of reliably shifting tickets for an arena and sales for a new record - they tend to be sturdy in the latter too, from memory? - I think they firmly see each other as headliners still.

[NorthernSoul52]

I doubt it's a cost issue for Stereophonics so much as a bill thing. It's atop the Pyramid or nothing for them.

I think they’d probably accept Pyramid sub but I’ve got a feeling Glastonbury wouldn’t offer them it, for whatever reason.

Interesting. You could argue they're too MOR, too past their prime, but plenty of others have those qualities and get booked, I guess.

Coldplay / LCD Soundsysten

Dua Lipa / Pulp

SZA / Burna Boy

 

Didn't Dua Lipa say her new album was inspired by Britpop? That's enough of a tenuous link to get Pulp subbing her.

Track 1: Training Season

Track 2: Houdini

Track 3: Oi Oi Oi!  We Are The Curry and Lager Lads

So far Dua Lipa, Jungle and Gossip aren't a great set of headliners for me.

Need something for the chin-strokers on the Park or the Other stage saturday. The Smile on Park would've been perfect!

I’m in denial and fully preparing for The Smile on Park

Who's rumoured for other headliners..? I know the National but not heard any other names really..

I think that’s about the only one (The National) that there’s been a particular rumour about.  I always thought Doja Cat might do it but maybe they’d have promoted her to Pyramid Header (instead of SZA) if that was the case

Hopefully we get some decent names when the poster drops next week.

Any evidence that Gossip's comeback is something anyone cares about?

I really like that Crazy Again track.

How do we know The Smile are not on The Park? I see you've returned them to Friday Woodsies on your clash finder?

[plaskins]

I'd love a stereophonics set any year, not passed it. Massive signaling for a certain generation

[NorthernSoul52]

Doja Cat once of those artists that, if they maintain current levels, could get the leg-up.

But then the quantification has always been a little weird. What makes SZA more qualified than Lewis Capaldi to headline, when the latter was third down last year, for example? The latter's second record sold less than SZA, but he boasts more hits and sales overall over the past five years.

(This is not me saying Lewis Capaldi should headline, but more a suggestion of how such metrics are considered.)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Critical kudos and cultural cachet is clearly also a factor. Bloke has neither.

Yeah that was a little out of date, I've updated it now after all the new info we have. Taken The Smile out 😔

What have I missed? Are The Smile not likely?

West Holts headliners were reconfirmed (three Js), also Squid high up on West Holts on the Fri.

Park I THINK Fontaines headlining or subbing. Hoping this isn’t true, but sounds like The Smile may not be doing it. I had them nailed for headlining Park but apparently not happening. We’ll see though.

Woodsies Sat headliner is Gossip, Sleaford subbing and Yard Act before them.

This is the info we got yesterday @Little Andy

If you’ve got anything looking likely that I’m missing on the Efestivals line ups please let me know!

No think you've done a solid job with the rumours! Only things I'd change would be:

Adding This is the Kit as a (R), after some info from @adequate8

Add Gabrielle as a (TBC) after she self-confirmed at a gig, and add Camila Cabello as a (R) after someone mentioned her.

I would take out Janelle Monae too because there's no solid info for her, just that she is supporting Coldplay on their tour and has a gap. If we put on every act with a gap there'd be hundreds!

I would change Justice and Jessie Ware all from (R) to (SR), just because we have info from 2 sources for them now. There's that leaked playlist, and the @Little Thief info too.

Other than that, all my clashfinder is just all the info we've had on here mixed with some pure speculation.

Just been told that Camila Cabello is playing this year - glad to hear it as was sad to have lost her from the 2020 line up. Don’t know what stage/day.

Anyone go to see Gabrielle last night?

Personally I would keep Janelle Monae as there is good enough reason to keep it as just a Rumor.

Yeah not doubting there's a good chance she'd play, just that I could name about 100 other acts touring Europe during late June/early July with just as much of a chance!

[glimmers_of_hope]

Did I imagine D-Block Europe are rumoured as an other stage headliner? 

I must have read it somewhere because I don't know anything about them as an act. I have no idea if they are big enough.
