I’d personally love it. It’s young, fresh and a little bit risky if it is Olivia Rodrigo.

🧍‍♂️🛏️

Talented individual, but proper 'marmite'! Rightly or wrongly, a significant cohort of EOTR regular attendees are still scarred by her last attendance there, mainly 'cos she pretty much insisted that every other stage / act was quiet at the time of her performance. No option, watch her with no alternative. For that reason alone, I personally hope she is nowhere near a GM line up.

The 1975 deserve their shot at it.

If mullogan and o'hare are playing anywhere at glastonbury it will be the best festival ever.

I reckon she's better positioned with crowd-pleasers than either Billie or Stormzy. Drivers Licence, Vampire, Good 4 U, Get Him Back, Bad Idea Right? are all big tunes.

I think Ghost should headline. Bit of Mary on a cross to get the deckchair brigade going.

Someone get Chris Martin on the ph... oh.

Cool. Send me your email address in a DM and they're yours

Stevie out? Blur please.

20 years since Aha Shake Heartbreak. An hour secret set in Woodsies playing the full album please. Would still give 20 minutes to throw in 4 other songs. Wishful thinking.

I hope Sziget booked Charli XCX, her new single Von dutch SLAPS, I think her show would be amazing 💥

watch this. Don't skip after 5 seconds. 😉

The podcast that James Scarlett (Trees and ATG booker) and the Damnation booker have just started (2 Promoters, 1 Pod) is mint. Gives a really good insight into booking bands and issues like logo size on the poster. Dillinger was offered for all three fests, but James could only afford a third of their requested fee max, and also didn't want to book them just playing the first album. Their At The Drive In and Refused bookings sound like they kinda regret spending a lot of money on a reunion band. It's on Spotify, but there's a YT link too. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxZgB-AxWBjXjmgNJ8aLfrQ

there's been little discussion cause about half the forum's regular posters left due to the previous owner and post elsewhere. Including most of the in the knows. The muse adele coldplay year it was known in advance but it still has way more discussion

Yes, apparently a reliable source has said he’s out of BST, meaning almost certainly Glastonbury (similar to how the Madonna rumours broke down?). Whether he had signed/sealed and pulled out or was in some stage of moderate level of negotiations that broke down is speculation. Glasto have to replace with whoever the biggest act available is, which by common consensus will be no one as decent as stevie. And whether this all happened this morning leaving glasto scrambling, or is actually old news and not to worry glasto already have a substitute headliner sorted, is again anyone’s guess! I know a lot of us were hoping for an announcement tomorrow (based on nothing) so that’s very much up in the air too. think that’s a close-enough summary!

just bst from me

f**kinell. The screaming. Save us, Baby Jesus. If I had that tuneless fecker next to me as well I think I might just self-immolate and try to take as many people with me as possible

A similar mix up is what scuppered the last Fleetwood Mac reunion

I can't remember what all the leaks were involving BST, there isn't a chance they just got told "Stevie" as part of it and assumed Wonder when it's actually Nicks?

Stevie Wonder to The 1975 would be the biggest downgrade ever

I may be completely underestimating her stock, however I just don't see O-Rod as a Pyramid Stage Headliner, personally.

For curiosity's sake, I did a quick look at album sales in the UK. KOL's Only By The Night has sold nearly as much as all of GnR's albums put together. Appetite For Destruction: 1.9m GNR Lies: 100k Use Your Illusion 1: 400k Use Your Illusion 2: 400k The Spaghetti Incident: 100k Chinese Democracy: 300k Total: 3.2m Only By The Night: 3m Once you add in their other albums, KOL vastly outsell GnR in the UK.

GM shared a few bands with Forward last year. I think we can write off the headliners with them being so close, in both time and distance, to each other. However, Romy, Green tea Peng, Yussef Days or Nubya Garcia would be WONDERFUL.

Its important to remember at this point the Daily Mail reported them as "definitely playing" And continue to remember to file anything from them as b*llocks

Yeah, if I can go into work on the Tuesday after Glastonbury, there should be no problem flying from Austria on a private jet, having a day's break and playing again. Otherwise they're wimps.

In two weeks James Murphy will be performing in Ghent together with 2manydjs and it's a real shame that LCD don't have a Belgian show this summer. Please James, Chokri, Dewaele bros, please 🥺

I do think a lot of the frustration is because of the combination of no announcement + everyone being pretty confident we know who the headliners are. with less speculation, it feels like the delay is arbitrary. If we were still here with no clue who was headlining any of the nights we'd be less angry at the lack of news and more distracted by figuring out if Foals are big enough to headline yet.

If anyone is interested we’ve put out a new episode of our podcast talking about our favourite green man rumours ahead of the release tomorrow - it’s how to build a festival episode 8

Incase anyone else forgot too, or didn’t know; I was also reminded that requests for buddies/groups etc and bar preferences all get handled around training time - which I think should be in April.

Another solid announcement and even at this early stage I'm really happy with the way the line up is coming together. Was expecting Barry Can't Swim but pleased he's now confirmed. Folamour and Solomun are both very welcome additions as I haven't seen either before. Think there's a good chance they'll put a strong supporting line up in the Boiler to complement Solomun so can't wait to see how that pans out! Already concerned about the late night clashes but it's never a bad problem to have! Will likely get my ticket at the weekend and got my son and his girlfriend coming along too.

Hopefully they'll come through with the required names. Green Man are announcing on Friday so we'll have a better idea who's about for those stages. Will be buying our tickets on Saturday. Difference is I'll be bringing my nearly 17 year old son along this time. Never thought this would happen but I'd rather him go to Pukkelpop than some shite UK festival with loads of idiots and aggro. Line up suits us both thankfully. Anyone else think it seems a bit more of a grown up line up than last year? Wonder if booking the likes of Billie and Anne-Marie had an adverse affect on the beer sales despite selling out 😀 https://consequence.net/2023/06/gen-z-drinking-less-shows/

If you ask me, its Slayer, Metallica, Megadeth and Exodus (who ive always far preferred to Anthrax)

After last time they played there were a few sceptics who said they didn’t have the chops for an outdoor crowd or festival show but their run of amphitheatres last summer showed that was bollocks. Something like this (from one of those shows) would do very nicely:

I really think it should be their year...always thought it was a shame they were completely ruled out quite early doors. Couldn't think of a better way to round up the tour before they're off on their holibobs

I can't see it. Dua and O- rod are too similar for my money.

That's not the worst comparison. I think both her albums are really good. Always great to discover new things.

Socks on fire

The Pigeonshit Targets

Bit of info. I was told what the intention is but asked not to share that. "Something going wrong" is just from previous history 😄

Still nothing to get excited about for me.

Excellent.

So good.

That’s me! Let me know nearer and we could have a beer on it!

oh yeah sorry, I missed the Friday mention.
