she talked about 1. How she got into running the festival, spoke about wanting to become a teacher and dropping out of Goldsmiths to care for her mother. 2. Having one female agent she looked up to as inspiration for another woman in a similar position. 3. Stepping into her fathers shoes and doing things her own way. 4. More provisions for females to feel safe at this years festival - such as female 'chill out' areas and how they're always looking for ways to improve things. 5. Spoke about sometimes not feeling safe late night on the tube as a lone female. 6. Spoke about going to Madonna recently (tied in with point 5) 7. Trying to get an equal gender balance with line-ups but it sometimes difficult as the pool to choose from is male dominated. 8. Confirmed two headliners are female but wouldn't reveal who. 9. Glastonbury 2024 line up will be out 'next week' 10. Championed Raye (a lot) 11. Spoke about Billie Eilish playing at the festival and how she was looking out for the welfare of female fans at the festival. Perhaps @Harmonic Prospectorcan remember more? It was about 1 1/2 hrs long, but there was an introduction from the organiser, opening talk from the vice-chancellor of the university, then three other panellists talking in equal measure so wasn't just all about EE and Glastonbury. It was my question that got asked about the line up it was: 'Given you wish to have an equal gender balance in the line up, will there be any female headliners this year, and when is the line-up due out?' Wanted to get a photo with her afterwards but I had to rush back to work and she was doing press stuff with the official photographer and other panellists.

EE simply said 'the line up will be out next week' Which day that will be is anyone's guess!

OOF are reporting 3 female headlineres in either 2025 or 2026, unless I dropped into a coma whilst EE said that I think that's been misquoted.

oh really?!

I'll do an update once my manager has gone home!

Yep, but didn't say 2025 or 2026!

@Harmonic Prospector Not sure I heard that? - Did you?

99.9 sure she just said 'line up' I took that as initial poster drop with the big names then the full thing will follow in May or whenever it usually arrives.

Nope.

My view during the talk

I got there 15 mins before it started and managed to get 2nd front row centre spot......I agree in the middle of the day meant turnout was low. but good for me as I got prime spot. 🙂

I also have to note she said 'headliners' she didn't specify 'Pyramid headliners' The host tried desperately to get her to give her a name but EE flat out refused.

Committed to the cause, I know everyone in here is frothing at the mouth for some news.

She was looking right towards me, even before she'd finished her sentence I was typing into this thread. 😄

thanks uncle 😄

right in the centre - 2nd row down - 1st seat on the right. (to the left of the lady with blonde hair)

Has Raye been ruled out yet? Because Emily mentioned her about 5 or 6 times...... (Possibly not headliner but I wouldn't be surprised if she plays)

I'm in that pic 😄

I managed to bag 2nd row in the middle for the talk 🙂

I now have to stay two hours late to make up the time!

Heading back to office now will type up more when I get there

The host asked for an exclusive - Emily laughed and won’t tell her/us

Two female headliners - lineup out next week. no names given

We have a break at the moment - staff are showing the questions it to her and asks if she’s happy to answer it she’s been saying no to some

No sorry!
