MEGABOWL

Just tried to put a cheeky tenner on Olivia Rodrigo and both bookies suspend the bet as soon as I try and put it on. Probably doesn’t mean much beyond showing how little money causes the Glastonbury betting markets to clag up but there we are.

Yeah that’s very true. Good point. They were never going to keep at the level of that first 3.

There is, they’re just not consistent. Theres 3 or 4 per album. I saw them in Glasgow in 2018 and enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. Not a headliner at Glastonbury anymore though. They haven’t got enough mass appeal songs for ‘turn up-play-thanks-get off’ to carry.

Just because Rodrigo’s dates were out there doesn’t mean there’d been any kind of contact with Glastonbury until recently. I was just pulling other names out of the air but ID are big and haven’t played before. My point stands, ‘American’ and ‘big’ means an awful lot of acts.

That’s how I see it. Certainly nothing in there that says two Female headliners+female legend. The ‘big American act’ could be pretty much anybody. It could be Olivia Rodrigo (just because her tour dates have a gap doesn’t mean anything was booked ages ago), Imagine Dragons, Drake, anyone. It may not be anybody everyone on here will perceive as huge but Emily is delighted about.

A Forum fave to fill the quiet periods. Part of the inevitable annual Efestivals cycle.

If you’re referring to the BBC interview back in October she didn’t actually say the big American act they’d just had a call from was female. If you mean something else Emily said then ignore https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-67207702

No. What a strange question. You’re looking for sexism where there isn’t any.

I really like what I’ve heard of Swim School, hopefully they’ll plot up at Worthy in 24. Roosevelt isn’t exactly new as such but would be new to the Big G, and I’d love that to happen.

Got no strong opinions either way but what I did learn this year is some of her fans are insane.

Curse his ill health in later years for denying us those planned Snap and Utah Saints collabs

You’re going to get a lot of downvotes if you keep slating music others like. It comes across as very closed minded.

Lana Del Rey instead of any of last years headliners was never going to happen. A perfectly understandable decision even before she didn’t manage to play her own set properly.

What Macca did isn’t really relevant. Springsteen used to do back to back shows but on this tour he isn’t doing it once, even when it’s multiple nights at the same venue. He’s far from obvious, and that’s me talking as someone who’d like it to be him.

A 7/10 for me. I was possibly too far back to really get into it. Good setlist but from the Pyramid headliners I’ve seen I enjoyed (deep breath) REM, Radiohead, Stevie Wonder, Coldplay, Rolling Stones, The Cure, and McCartney more. Possibly GNR too.

That would have been amazing

Dua had a proper smash hit in the summer too, Houdini ‘only’ getting to number 2 isn’t going to hold her back any. Shes absolutely a headliner.

I agree on both fronts. I think he’d be a brilliant legend slot booking who would do a superb job. I just can’t stand him and would be absolutely nowhere near.

Thats about it yeah. It’s very rare indeed.

Yeah that’s great. I like the original anyway so more the merrier.

One after their other on the Sunday would be very nice (Barry Gibb/Nile Rodgers and Yusuf/Blondie style)

Or a chair. Either they both want it or one wants to sit and the other is getting annoyed. Can’t decide which would be which.

It’s a superb description

Was doing my teeth when I read this-toothpaste froth everywhere!
