  1. Surely Sting could do a third down Pyramid slot similar to Robert Plant, Elvis Costello and other oldies who’ve done similar. Does seem like it’d be a wasted future legend slot, but it’s possible he’s not interested in that kind of thing. Or he’s just not playing…
  2. I got tickets for them in Manchester earlier this year and come the night I really wasn’t feeling it and was contemplating selling them, but I went and then the moment they came on stage I immediately snapped out of it as they were excellent. I think I’d played the hell out of them when they announced the reunion which lead to me getting a bit sick of their music, but they’re on incredible form and the stage show they’re currently touring with is pretty stellar too, so my advice would just to avoid their music and then be stoked hearing all those songs live for the first time in a while come June.
  3. Pretty dumb way of thinking. I know they do get the prestigious gig here and there and have headlined their own BST which is no small feat, but surely they realise they’re not at Glastonbury headliner level. Wonder if they’d at least accept Pyramid sub to a megastar.
  4. Like saying Emeli Sande is gonna headline or that Roxy Music are doing the legend slot or that there’s no way Guns N Roses are gonna headline.
  5. I’m failing to see the connection or problem here.
  6. Anybody listened to the podcast in full? Somebody on Reddit saying she can’t be talking about Madonna in that quote as they’d just previously talked about her but I cba checking to see that they’re chatting bollocks.
  7. Guns N Roses would like a word.
  8. Yeah that’s what I got from it - sounds like the wait paid off rather than somebody just happening to call out of the blue whilst they also conveniently had a vacant headliner slot.
  9. Were released early on ticketmaster and then taken down - two late June dates in Anfield I think.
  10. Pink is on another level to Lizzo though - completely different ballpark. If Pink plays, she headlines, but yeah… I just dont see that happening, thankfully.
  11. Pink plays and sells out stadiums so no way she’s playing lower down.
  12. A Stevie set heavy on Mac covers (she’s playing five on her current tour) would go down very well. Can’t say I’m familiar with too much of her solo stuff, but there’d be enough hits there to deliver the sing alongs and guarantee a good set.
  13. I know people are correlating the phone call being Pink to the tour dates just announced but… that’s not how it works - she wouldn’t announce tour dates and at the same time call up Glastonbury saying she’s available. Surely that would’ve happened earlier. Maybe this is pure copium from me, but I’m still going with Madonna. Pink doesn’t warrant that level of hype from Emily and her ‘you’ll see when the lineup is out’ comment wouldn’t really make sense if it was Pink, whereas with Madonna it would very much be a ‘oh sh*t they got Madonna’. So yeah, Madonna.
  14. Pink announced some very convenient dates yesterday that got people in a fuss, but yeah, it’s Madonna.
  15. Would be insane if they’re not there in some capacity, although there goes the theory of Glastonbury being their big farewell (not that that really mattered.. just would’ve been cool).
  16. Rihanna ain’t American so that’s her out.
  17. Pink would (currently) make the most sense if it wasn’t for her making it sound like they’ve been waiting out a certain act. Would they really be leaving a headliner slot vacant in the hopes that Pink would get back to them?!
  18. Wait a minute, everybody isn’t taking molly at every headliner as standard?!
  19. Nobody is out here saying ‘Italian American artist Madonna’. Gonna revise my thoughts and say I think Emily is 100% talking about Madonna here. Makes sense that she’d be an act they’d be leaving a slot open for which is definitely not something I think they’d be doing for Pink. Sounds like they’ve held that headliner slot open hoping Madonna would get back to them and bam, the call came in and it’s sorted.
  20. Does Annie even tour still? Looking at her recent setlists it looks like the most she’s done for a long time is some very short sporadic appearances here and there and nothing else, so unless she’s got plans to up and tour again I’d say she’s unlikely.
  21. Hmm now with that I’m maybe back on the Madonna train as surely she’s the only semi-realistic act they’d be holding out for like that. Goddamnit, although it would be exciting to get it all at once, I do love our usual getting the legend and/or one headliner to really get the excitement going.
  22. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/glastonbury-2024-headliners-emily-eavis-b2435986.html New interview from Emily with a bit of talk about next years headliners: “2024 is still a little up in the air,” she told Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw on Thursday’s episode of their podcast, Sidetracked with Annie and Nick. “And I thought it was kind of taking shape and then last week I just got a call, and this is what happens if you wait a little longer, because quite often we’ll be booked up from July. This year we’re holding out for a little bit longer and last week I got a call from a really big American artist saying this person’s around next year, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is incredible.’ Thank God we held the slot.” Not giving too much away, although the realist in me says that phone call is Pink rather than Madonna who they presumably would’ve been in talks with long before last week… Also female legend confirmed.
  23. My head says Stevie, my heart says Cher.
  24. Tbh I’d assumed they’ve gone with those headliners because they’ve had their hand forced rather than a deliberate attempt at changing things up, but you could be right, and I suppose having the likes of Avril there would sweeten the deal for the pop/punk crowd who are unsure if they want to bother with just FOB. Could be an interesting year lineup-wise if they do branch out a little bit more than usual.
