    Reckon her set will be viewed similar to Kanye? Rapturously received by a good many but puzzled indifference by the majority. Its noeasy task to shoe-horn her brand of progressive R&B into that field. Add rain/mud to the mix and I wish her luck.

    Its a huge stretch for the festival. To be clear i'm not criticizing the artist one bit. She is perfect for WH headliner. Think a lot of (younger?) posters on here quite sensitive about this view, so will refrain from antagonizing further.

    Never got the fuss about how many people watch a Pyramid headliner. Are you stood at the back with a clicker?

    Im like this when people justify headliners based on streaming stats.

    Where's the group of cool efesters that have been chatting about SZA for years. I'm not part of the gang but would love to sit nearby and coo at how cool they are.

    I don't think I've ever met anyone who likes Coldplay. How do they manage to sell out massive shows? Who are their fans and why?

    "UK's biggest vanilla band for people that hate music."

    But that's balanced out this by the opposite of stale / predictable / dull / old headliners booked on the other nights.

    Think theres some legends doing rounds that we could have bagged. UK's biggest popstar. UK's biggest vanilla band for people that hate music. AN Other. Seems they're taking a big risk and missing a huge opportunity.

    Think it will come out in the wash that Madge dropped them in a slurry pit from the top of the Tor.

    Who care about packing the field? This is like football fans talking about net spend. 

    Its nothing like that.

    The festival (and every attendee) wants the headliner to succeed. These are the most cherished moments, the highest risk in some ways, but also the biggest reward. The vast majority of the highlights we have and will speak about are 'Mid headliners. Personally speaking nothing beats it. Only 3 per year. When none of these "hit" its a bum year.

    I think it’s a bit entitled TBH. Some of us on here are lucky enough to get to go repeatedly. That won’t be the case for thousands and thousands of others. They won’t be rolling their eyes because ‘oh no it’s Arctic Monkeys again’ or ‘Coldplay again’. This might be a once in a lifetime chance for them to see a huge act they can’t get/afford tickets for.

    Coldplay for example are just about the most reliable stadium fillers in the world. Having them at the top of the bill as their only U.K. show of the year, is absolutely massive to the average punter. You wouldn’t want them or anyone else booked every other year but it’s been 8 years, that’s not unreasonable (and number of festivals doesn’t matter, Covid broke that calculation). I’d say the same if they’d lined up the Foos or Sheeran or Adele.

    Usually 1:1 with your posts on here for over a decade mate, but disagree strongly. Having same vanilla bands (ones you name) headline every 4 or 5 fests is a pisspoor option. Fest gets predictable, staid, dull, old. Coldplay singing "Fix You" over that field in June is grim enough once per decade.

    Drew Barrymore is a tune.

    I also really like her new single Saturn.

    She's miles better than a whole host of dross they could have gotten to fill the gap and both those terry and junes are decent. Nothing there to bring the house down tho innit. In previous years a perfect WH headliner. To promote her to the Mid screams of spotify statology.

    That was NEVER going to happen. She is hugely popular here. SZA might be and this will undoubtedly help, but right now she is way more niche than Kendrick who drew one of the smallest headline crowds for a while...

    When you were asked who is playing Glasters and you said "Adele" people didnt scrunch up there noses "Who?"

    To suggest otherwise is churlish.

    This year is first occasion I'm seen the streaming stats madness impact Glasters. Thought we were immune, but no.

    Desperation would be booking a cheap, Glasto friendly indie band like Foals.

    I don't think that would happen tho. I'm cool with her booking but her appeal is niche af.

    If she does then the people in the know were correct.  If she doesn't then the contracts were not signed and it was a fluid situation. 

    haha loving your work Stuie.

    I didn't mind the music so much. It's the awkward, scripted award presentation and unbearable skits in between. It must be time for a reformatting of these types of events? On the plus side, there was no sign of Corden or Whitehall

    Yeh the whole thing seemed deflated. The absence of Whitehall notwithstanding.
