Radiohead would be good, far better than the VERY DULL Coldplay and Muse, not much of a choice really, been there , seen it all before, so boring. Adel.....I bloody hope not, yes shes popular, but so morbid, bit of a female Morrissey...Yawn Zzzzzzzzzzz

weird reading people saying that now Muse have been announced, Radiohead won't headline.

we've known for ages that Muse are almost certainly playing, and despite a daft notion of them subbing, anyone with sense knew they'd be headlining if they were there.

Radiohead headlining was seemingly based on the idea of Adele not headlining, and more likely, her just deciding not to do it at all.

nothing much has changed in that regard.

Sense doesn't come into it on here ;)

Doesn't Glastonbury spend the least out of most festivals? Didn't fleetwood mac do IOW because Glastonbury didn't want to pay so much for them?

 

About the announcement id personally rather muse over radiohead so it isn't so bad for me.

I meant it in that the rest would have to pay full whack and could never afford it. Only Glastonbury with its status can get those three on one weekend (and a fraction of the price)

it's true though.  at least in the sense that i'm not into either of their music.  and that's important (to me).

That's what I meant - no comment could be more relevant to fatyeti24 so close the whole thing down. Who cares what fatyeti1 - fatyeti23 think?

    • In 2024, Dua and Coldplay had B stages and they were dismantled and rebuilt overnight to suit both acts. 
    • UK to strip back procurement rules to focus on job creation, says Louise Haigh https://www.ft.com/content/9878a2e4-3ac5-43b0-b2c9-b1fe1a4b65e7?syn-25a6b1a6=1   Burnham is not serious about tackling climate change.

    • What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.
    • Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......
