Tears for Fears

So, semi pissed post watching you tube concert at Hollywood bowl. Massive fan and wouldn't it be just great fun if they played thus year? The tipping point is such a good album. They would be great, and it would no doubt be rammed wherever they played.  Together with their past back catalogue, surely it's a must this year.

Where do they play? Other headline?  They outright headline most other festivals they play.

It's difficult isn't it?would love a woodies headline personally, but are they too big? They'd definitely be big enough for a Pyramid support slot. But personally an hour ain't enough.

Third from top on the Pyramid.

 

Think they're too "retro" for an Other Headline, even compared to other 80s acts. But they'd be a cracking choice for a massive late afternoon / early evening singalong.

Just been watching  their Hollywood bowl set, one hour 30 mins with I'd say 10 mins filler. A great headline actually I'd say. Imagine what a grateful sing o g on the Pyramid though.

Pet Shop Boys did it to rapturous reception and a jammed field

Pet Shop Boys kept having hits into the 90s and 00s.

Pet Shop Boys are a way bigger deal. TFF would go down well early evening on pyramid but no way are they headlining Other.

They're an iconic British band and imo have slot somewhere. I'm not sure where tbh, but wherever I'll be there. But I'm the demographic as a 62 yo 😁.

I just hope they'll play.

they had dates that could have fitted with glasto a few years back but but didn't happen, guess it will one day as they're locals

I think they'd be well suited to a headline set on the Park Stage, tbh, the precedence being Sparks a few years go.

Would love to see them at Glasto, but isn't it just wishful thinking at this point?

Surely they are way bigger than this? 

 

I'd have them only a couple of pegs below The Cure & Depeche Mode. Not Pyramid headliner, but sub or Other headliner.  Around the same level as the likes of Simple Minds and the aforementioned Pet Shop Boys.
