A serious concern that if he steps onto the site, he may or may not be dead.

 

Schrödinger's Richard, I guess.

Got to be Tony, he had this wee guy on his side. Vision on rules!

Also. Edge of Seventeen just came on in the pub. There will NEVER, EVER, be a better moment on the Pyramid than this. Get three pub bands headlining. Pay the money.

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Pub bands?

 

Dire Straits back, are they?

Hart was in the Ghurkhas.  He'd rip Harris a new one.

I'm not so sure.  You can do a lot of damage with a wobbleboard.

[NorthernSoul52]

This topic has taken quite the swerve, it must be said.

[The Nal]

Morris Albert's headline days are probably behind him but he could still pull a huge crowd.

 

100k at this. People losing the f**king run of themselves at the chorus.

 

Hugs, moshing, fist fights, random grenade attacks in the long drops and live animal sacrifices on Satanic alters.

That's the kind of trivia fact I'm just going to spout at my next pub bollocks session and will immediately reap several drinks in admiration.

Re: Robbie Williams - one of those who straddles the Legends line and outright headliner for me. 

Too right.. he's only 50! I'm living the motto that 50 is the new 21, nowhere near finished, in fact I'm starting all over again career-wise... and I'm sure he'd see it the same way. Can I throw in a left field suggestion that he plays Glade with his new outfit Lufthaus - I'd love to see that live. And it would have to include Sophie Ellis-Bextor for guest vocals.

Otherwise, a mixed show including back catalogue + a little bit of Lufthaus with SE-B as guest, could be a full blown headline act. For me, Robbie still has an edge that his former bandmates lack now they've fully gone down the nicey nicey state occasions route. And they're absolutely fine for family car music or the telly.

[NorthernSoul52]

He got a very big crowd with Lufthaus at some festival over here the other month, I think.

It wasn’t even the best moment when she headlined BST

Even with his extra leg

[NorthernSoul52]

Edge of Seventeen is a tune, but Stand Back probably takes it among SN solo cuts.

If we had Kylie do the former in the end, it is probably where he goes - but he's had an obscene number of hits, and famously the ego to match. I don't know if he would accept it, providing there was a sniff of Pyramid headline in the offering. (Not about the money, I'd wager - but about the prestige.)

 

Didn't Robbie show interest in doing the Legends Slot once?

He's outright proposed himself for it, in as many words, and I think it may have been more than once. Not that long ago either.

 

But as always with RW, I'm not sure whether we can fully take that at face value.. He does sometimes seem to say things just to say them.

He should probably take the Legend slot as he's outright championed it, he's not going to get the headliner birth even though I think he'd pull it off. I don't think it would be a strong move for Glastonbury.

That's because BST crowds are dead inside.

Well if what he says in real life are as nonsensical as his lyrics, then who knows? 😅

 

Can't stand the man.

[NorthernSoul52]

Robbie Williams can be hit-and-miss live - but if he calibrates it right, he'd kick arse on the Legends Slot.

It's because it was nowhere near the best song she played... was a bit average, tbh.

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Can't say Nicks has ever struck me as an exceptional live talent. This isn't to say that she's average, by any stretch - she was good when I saw her.

 

But nor does it live particularly high in my estimations.

Word is going on Festileaks Bryan Adams will play Werchter Classic festival. What do we think of him?
