I'm not saying that some people of my generation lack self-awareness, but I don't recall our parents complaining that the Pyramid Stage headliners at the 1986 Glastonbury weren't The Hollies, Fats Domino and Cilla Black – with Max Bygraves doing the legends slot.
@petepaphides It’s kind of underwhelming for all that money, there should be something for everyone I would think
@petepaphides I see Half Man Half Biscuit were on in 86. After the mud of 85, I took a year off. When I heard Coldplay were on again it made me think.. But then I encounter Primark FM Overhead a rainbow appears In black and white
@petepaphides That’s cos no one paid to go in back in those days
@petepaphides In 86 they’d have wanted Springsteen, Macca, Joni etc. Does this bill match them, will it stand the test of time ? No I reckon.
@petepaphides They probably were, they just didn't have Internet to complain to!
@petepaphides I always assume people denigrating the headliners have never been - assuming it's a normal fest where the majority will be at the pyramid stage in the evening.
@petepaphides My dad was raging that Tommy Trinder wasn’t compèring the legends slot in 86
@petepaphides I can't see what they are complaining about, it looks like a who's who of current music to me. Apart from the mooted Mads and Brooce (boring) who were they expecting to play?
