Led Zeppelin is not happening. But if it was, it would be the biggest headline set in Glastonbury history. When they played the O2 there were 20 million online requests for tickets. If it were to happen I think they would need to put someone like Swift on the other stage purely as a crowd control measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morph100 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 So we are going from the mythical 4th headliner to 6! Wow would be so good if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but those people trying for the O2 tickets would have been Led Zep fans. Not everyone at Glasto will be a fan tbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you on this one - I also think that Fleetwood Mac would be met with initial excitement because of the name factor, but then a lot of younger people would listen to them and realise they don't like them. Plus the average Led Zep or Fleetwood Mac fan wouldn't be seen dead in a field full of the unwashed masses (in their eyes) and would happily pay £200+ for a premium seat at Wembley or the O2. Not saying either would have a small crowd, but I do think it wouldn't be Rolling Stones or your average legends slot level of busy. I also imagine any one with pop leanings would listen to Led Zep (probably from their parents saying they should) and not being overly impressed. I'm in my early 30s and wouldn't watch either, and nobody I know who's going really care about Fleetwood Mac beyond the press hype about them playing and it being a headliner talking point. Then again, I did watch Example and then nobody instead of the Stones in 2013.... Edited October 11, 2019 by efcfanwirral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Too Well, Long Live, New Year's Day will wait til her own shows. I dunno man. It's hard to call because we don't have a precedent for Taylor headlining these types of festivals. Personally I think she'll do a couple songs on the acoustic and a couple on the piano and we'll get one of those tunes. I think it'll be hit heavy but also touch on each of her records and styles. I think it'll be similar to this but fleshed out a bit https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/taylor-swift/2019/lolympia-bruno-coquatrix-paris-france-6b9caa0a.html Time will tell though.

Matt42 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Led Zeppelin would be probably the best booking Glastonbury could ever make. I’d honestly not give a fuck about who they booked after that. Led Zep is end game for any festival in the world. Coachella has reportedly offered them $40 million in the past to play and they have turned it down. It won’t happen unless the band reunites. They won’t reunite AT glasto. I hope in my lifetime they do celebration day again but I’m not confident at all. Also if Zep did headline they might as well do it on the Sunday night and close all the other stages early. Everyone will be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a6l6e6x Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Although I and my group would definitely watch led zeppelin over literally anything else I think there's a tonne of people who go to glasto that wouldn't be phased by it Not sure why we are having this discussion though as I strongly doubt they are playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still regularly played at after parties, my insta feed was full of people at their recent tour. Edited October 11, 2019 by MaxPower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gacheezbo Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Sod this thread, I was content with 1975/Taylor/Elton Now I'm going to be forever disappointed that I won't see Led Zep opening with immigrant song on the pyramid ffs. For what it's worth I'm confident 10/12 (mid 20s) would see them. Edited October 11, 2019 by Gacheezbo spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
