Janet Jackson Headlining?

I only know one song of hers but she’s a big booking. I had a feeling she’d wind up at Glasto after seeing all those American festivals she did the past few years.

Also I find it funny she has the most US number 1’s of any artist on the planet and I struggle to name more than one of her songs

I don’t think that’s true. But she hasn’t had any number ones over here so it’s not really that surprising that people here aren’t so well-acquainted.

I had a look and couldn’t find that specific stat... but looking at the billboard top 100 records there were a lot of surprises... Including one that listed her, by one measure, as a more successful artist than her brother. She’s certainly a hell of a lot bigger there.

Yeah I got confused. Just checked now. 10 US #1s and something like 25 top 10 hits

Janet Jackson apparently announced a residency in Las Vegas, which may or may not include the Glastonbury weekend.

“Metamorphosis,” Jackson’s first extended engagement on the Strip, opens May 17 and runs 15 dates in May, July and August. The specific dates are May 17, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26; June 24, 26, 27, 31; and August 2, 3, 7, 9 and 10.

The "June 31" bit may be a clue that it's actually in July, in which case she'll still be free to do Glastonbury of course.

Yeah they're July, she's still free for Glasto.

But, er, with 1st-5th July, you would still have missed her even if those dates were June? :wacko:

Yeah I know, just annoying she has announced limited dates for the show. Still time for more to be announced I guess.. (one can dream)

But still the thought of Janet showing up at the farm is exciting ticket with or without a ticket this year!

Hate to bring it up but do you reckon a Jackson booking would be recieved pretty badly right now?

Why would she? She can't be expected to be responsible for her brother's behaviour.

Well considering the documentary alleges that the family and MJ’s team have actively covered up his activities. To the general public they aren’t exactly in a good light right now

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
