Olivia Rodrigo is 100 percent in the top 50 global artists.
what matters most tbh is how big they are in the U.K. in the last few years they’ve booked Coldplay (biggest band in the world) Elton John (speaks for itself, AM ( stadium band), Paul McCartney (speaks for itself). A couple duds like GnR and SZA changes nothing, glasto still gets the biggest artists about.
Also you’re massively underestimating how big O rod, the 1975 and Sam fender are. Fender is playing stadiums in the summer!
I think MM will be booked this year of he was. There should be room for a 3rd down main act still. Don't see Papa Roach happening for obvious reasons.
There is no reason why they could go for both LP and Maiden, Deftones won't be their 1st option.
MCR I could see, SOAD I don't see doing stadiums here at all, they are a different force completely in the US.
GF was able to book top 10 global artists 10-15 years ago without much effort. None of the mentioned headliners this year are in the top 50. Sam Fender is not even in the top 500. That's what I meant with irrelevant (which I agree is open to interpretation).
It is true that just one year of terrible headliners won't affect attendance. But give it a couple years with bad bookings and a fallow year and it could all change pretty quickly.
