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.

Of all the things you could accuse her of, being derivative or not sufficiently distinctive makes no sense
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.

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.

Have we ruled out Sam Fender? Would be a brilliant headliner. Or maybe will be one for next year
If he ever gets a third album out and it does well he’s nailed on for 25 I reckon

Nice to see the Coldplay appreciation for once on here. Regardless of what some may think of them, they're one of the biggest bands on earth who can put on an incredible 2 hour show with ease, with a back catalogue of belters.
They've done some really sh*t stuff album wise beyond their 3rd/4th albums, but there's no denying how good they are live.
They were the first Glasto headliner I ever saw (2011) and not seen them since. I'd be all over it next year.
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.

2022 Truth Stage about 3am (IIRC), best time and venue for them.
Can't remember what day.
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.

I get your point but its funny how these are 2 very different sets of 3 acts!
😀 It’s a net that gets cast far and wide

Maybe big acts
But - Bob Vylan, Sleaford Mods, Warm Dusher etc
Not saying any of these should headline - before anyone starts
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

I wouldnt ever choose to listen to Green Day, don't own any of their albums, and its a genre in which i have little to no interest.
BUT
an ex-g/f dragged me to see them about four or five years ago and they are bloody great live, to be fair to em. They'd smash a pyramid spot to bits and win over a hell of a lot of waverers.
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.

I don't think they do have that reputation tbf...
4 hours ago, Mardy said:At its best, it does, your Stormzys, your Orbitals in the 90s, your Skunk Anansies, your Jay-Zs, your Archaoses, your Radioheads 1997, even your Billie Eilishes. All too often, and increasingly moreso now than ever before, it plumps for safe, popularity over innovation headliners, and it's to be celebrated when they do the right thing, and don't take the conservative (with a small 'c') option.
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

Also, anyone know where I can get the full set from 2022? The one I downloaded has the Lily Allen but cut.

I think it’s maintained it but not necessarily increased it. The first album came with a huge wave of ‘new main pop girl coming out of nowhere and releasing a string of hit singles straight off the bat’ about it, whereas the new one is more of the same - not as surprising or out of nowhere, but still excellent and sure to keep the fandom happy.
The second two singles haven’t made the same impact that Good 4 U and Deja Vu did, but overall I think the album’s a better version of what she was doing before.
Maybe she’ll change things up a bit with the third one, although tbf she could probably get away with milking this sound for a bit longer.
Thanks. That was the impression I got having not been following her until recently-though I remember the people I was with who went to see her in 2022 raving about it. The Arena tour seems to have sold out very quickly too.
I certainly prefer the second album to the first, agree I can see her getting another album out of this sound, maybe just a slow evolution.

That rock city date sticks out a bit
They’re doing 2000trees on July 11 too

So, people in the know, I’ve only recently got into Olivia (the bouncy guitar stuff, not the overwrought piano ballads) so have no clue here.
Has the second album maintained/increased her momentum? Was that even possible?
-
Her musics great.
If you don’t want to buy the endless merch, don’t buy it.

Only a one of gig so far (Manchester, July)
But probably some low hanging fruit to suggest Jungle might play
They seem due for a return, they were really good on West Holts in 2019.
Woodsies headliner?

It's come to something when you can't even say the things that people have been saying openly and repeatedly on this public forum, and you can't have the debate that has been going on for the majority of this nine page thread.
It's like living under the bloody Stasi.
If everybody behaved how most people have on this thread things would be fine

We surely don’t want to live in a world where personal freedom and opinion is wiped out. Some kind of horrific 1984 scenario. By buying into cancel culture, you become the architect of your own demise, where words are watched and conversation driven underground. Watching of words and censorship can only become easier online, and censorship is something to fight against. What happens when the day comes that YOUR opinion is no longer acceptable? Really this is not a world I want to see as the future. All this anger and division. Live and let live. If you don’t like something as frankly irrelevant and RM’s opinion of pharmaceutical companies, surely just move on. Be happy! Stop wasting time in negativity.
I find it horrifying that in fact, there is a generation coming up who are creating an ultra conservative society with cancel culture. Perhaps they are not seeing the consequences for themselves in the future. Freedom is everything. Don’t encourage a world where people are silenced.Another excellent post

I think it’s sad the the world is such an angry place at the moment. Reasonable debate completely shut down.
I’m older and grew up in the epicentre of the lgbtq community in London in the 80s. I have always accepted people for whoever they choose to be.
in this case, it seems to me that Rosin is tAlking about a medical intervention that may cause harm to some young people in the long term, so should be looked at fully. Why is it a hate crime to suggest that young and possibly confused people should be thoroughly supported before changing their biology. It’s not a quick fix and although it may well have the effect of making them feel better, a lot of that might be about being actually listened to and feeling their troubles are taken seriously.
People saying she should be banned because she has a gay fanbase are really confusing a lot of issues and lumping all sorts of groups of people together. Queer Sexuality is not the same as gender. Queer people and drag queens are not really in the same group as people who want to transition, although of course they find support with eachother. Medical intervention and altering physical bodies forever is not the same as exploring sexuality and gender identity.
All this reactionary anger stifles debate. As a parent of teenagers, you see how kids change their very strong beliefs as they grow. Tomboys , as I was, just don’t seem to exist so much , it’s straight into dysphoria. I think kids are actually put under a lot of pressure by adults. All the hate needs to calm down. I miss the days of live and let live.
This is a great post. The internet pushes the extremes. If someone’s reaction to posts on the subject is to throw around ‘TERF’ or ‘Groomer’ they’re coming from the extreme end of the debate, they don’t represent the great majority and likely never will.
I saw it in the last few months with the debate here in Scotland when the Government tried to force through their Gender Recognition Reform Bill. I work with a lot of very liberal people who support Gay Marriage, are pro-choice etc. including young Women, Women with kids, Men with teenage daughters, and Gay men. However they all found themselves being in support of some aspects of the bill but against others, and in different ways-though it was noticeable that as with the Scotland-wide polling support fell through the floor when it reached reducing the age for changing gender to 16.
I agree on the lumping together all sorts of groups of people being unfair and inaccurate (and not just because one of the Gay guys I work with is distinctly unsupportive of trans rights, being ‘bored of hearing about how it’s the same as it was for us in the 80s). It ascribes one uniform opinion to countless people (allowing those who don’t agree with every aspect of the extreme position to be negatively judged), and it’s as ridiculous as doing the same to black people or women or all people from one country.

Yep that’s exactly what I am saying. I think you might have misread my post.
Actually it’s more that I was doing a really badly worded attempt at agreeing with you

Not exactly on fire but I have definitely not seen the same level of reaction to it. Maybe I just haven’t read it the same way as other people but she doesn’t seem to me to have said anything hateful about trans people or their right to exist she doesn’t agree with a particular kind of medicine.
I used to work with a woman who was otherwise very nice and kind who had really weird opinions about anti-depressants. She thought it was also some big pharmaceutical conspiracy and I disagreed with her but it didn’t stop her doing her job and being good at it.
I haven’t seen her say any such thing. If I’ve missed it, fair enough, but querying the use of drugs on kids does not equate to ‘wanting all trans people dead.’ That simplistic fundamentalism makes discussing anything impossible.

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.’
