38-21.

Although I'd rather it that Glastonbury pushed the boundaries for once with the headliners.

If its Radiohead then its a bit better but the three must've been decided one really hungover morning. Who can we get that I don't need to think about whatsoever?

If its Adele then its the most tediously establishment headline bill I've ever seen Glastonbury put on.

My nan will love watching it on the telly like. So thats alright. Long as the proper punters are happy. Long as the BBC is happy that David Cameron will be happy that there won't be any angry black sweary types polluting our royal great british telly channels this year then they might just get their charter renewed instead of being sold off to Rupert Murdoch (at the best price that they could possibly get for the hardworking british proper british royal britain taxpayer honest). And self obsessed perennial gap yah student Chris Martin might be made a knight (if he hasn't knighted himself already). For services to himself and to milksops the world over.

Tricky!  I'm not a huge fan of Adele, but would definitely rather see her than Radiohead.  But I also want to see New Order that night, and if Adele and New Order clash it will be a difficult choice for me.  Whereas if Radiohead play, it will be easier as I'll watch New Order.  But overall I have to say Adele, so

Adele would be a massive coup for the festival. I would be nowhere near the set.

44 - 24.

Muse, Radiohead, Coldplay is just too house band. If muse not noounced then I'd have said get both, but now they have been the other headliner just can't be radiohead.

This vote would be a lot more one sided if half of Adele's votes weren't from people who have zero interest in actually seeing her play.

Radiohead haven't headlined in 13 years so can hardly be called a house band.

If Radiohead just payed the first 3 albums and Thom Yorke wasn't such a dick I'd go Radiohead, but Adele would be a much more interesting headliner if you ask me.

This is the setlist from the last festival Radiohead played...

 

Lotus Flower

Bloom

15 Step

Weird Fishes/Arpeggi

Kid A

Morning Mr. Magpie

The Gloaming

Separator

Pyramid Song

Nude

Staircase

There There

Karma Police

Myxomatosis

Feral

Idioteque

 

Encore:

Give Up the Ghost

You and Whose Army?

Planet Telex

Everything in Its Right Place

Reckoner

Bodysnatchers

Paranoid Android

 


No? Me neither?

I have nothing against Adele. Glastonbury is too big a place to worry about not liking a headliner.

My main issue is that I firmly believe this is the last chance for Radiohead to headline the festival. Adele could play at any point, but it feels like a now or never scenario for Radiohead.

I can't stand the warbling man, whinging about how he got dumped once when he was in private school.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.
