Agreed. Not much in the Vault tracks this time but given her absurd work rate over the last couple of years can hardly complain.

Was a real shame that. Great festival when I went in the 00s. You can see why they shifted to the TRNSMT model. It still is a rite of passage but at least the organisers stop being responsible past 11pm.

I think Dave would get a bigger crowd than Kendrick

I love it

I think it will be Coldplay in 24 but I also think they’re more than enough of a pop act these days for that combination to work

Would love that

Fender/Coldplay/Swift is a good mix of mahoosive bookings. If it isn’t Coldplay in 2024 who is it though? I reckon it will be.

2022 was lovely

Cool. I didn’t go to either of them but Pet Shop Boys crowd against Kendrick was massive. GNR was a win in my eyes. A huge stadium rock band and a good change for the festival.

Was a good night. Crowd was bigger than I expected TBH

Can we not get them all on to their big hit one after the other? Turn the legend slot into a live action ‘Telstar hits of the 70s and 80s.’

I wonder how much she’ll have to pay Chase and Status for Vampires overwhelming resemblance to Baddadan. She’s bang to rights there. Carbon copy.

Closest comparison I keep coming back to is Alanis Morrisette. Is the chart full of people who sound like Alanis? I’ll have to start listening again if so.

More of this please. Anything to potentially shift a few casuals out of my way.

Money

I think they should book Dua and Olivia, just for the schitt show (and not just because I’d go and see both of them). Two female headliners which makes its own statement, one doing it off two massive albums and the other presumably doing it off the back of 3, one of which was huge. Both have played before and IIRC enjoyed it. The antithesis in terms of age to this years headliners (though I was totally onboard with them too). They both actually play very different music. Just because their girls doesn’t mean they sound the same.break the glass ceiling. Do it Emily. I’ll bring the popcorn and we’ll enjoy the Social Media tantrums together.

If he ever gets a third album out and it does well he’s nailed on for 25 I reckon

They were brilliant in 2011 IMO. Cracking set and they genuinely looked ecstatic to be there. Skipped 2016 for LCD but would definitely be there next year if all the stars align.

I did have it in my head to see them, don’t know why I didn’t. If that’s the time they were on my absence makes more sense.

😀 It’s a net that gets cast far and wide

TBF I only want to see 2 of them and I saw them both at Glastonbury. Pretty sure the other one (Vylan) has played too

Selfishly I’d love them to do it because they’re right in my sweet spot where I like a few tunes, probably more than I realise, wouldn’t ever pay stadium quids to go to their own show but would be all over a festival set. See-GNR, The Cure, The Who or out of next year’s candidates Dua, O-Rod and Dave.

They’ve never had a rep for booking random headliners. Because they’re the headliners. By definition they’re going to have to be a safe bet to some degree. The bill is full of endless new, weird and edgy stuff, just not right at the very very top.

You legend, thank you very much
