Think given Fender's trajectory for now, it is headline in '24 or '25, or nothing. Definitely has the capacity to become the major guitar act of his generation - but music can twist on a dime, after all.

Wild Grey Ocean isn't going to bin off Springsteen comparisons, by any stretch, but there's a shade of Mark Knopfler in there too.

 

Great, innit. Shits on anything off Midnights...

Having heard the 2 new songs that will be on the new album I think I’m 100% certain he will headline next year.    The new album will be huge.    He really is rather special.

So much wrong with this. 1. Had to look it up as I've never heard of this 'abuse survivor's anthem' thing but TikTok isn't everything, seems likely you're massively exaggerating. 2. Those ly

Certainly one of the best atmospheres I’ve experienced for daytime acts on the farm 

This was probably my peak of the weekend.

I mean Kendrick was my fave set, but I was shattered by that point. 

During Sam I just had the biggest smile though out, nicely inebriated, sun was out, best mates in tow and I just kept thinking…..

WE ARE FINALLY BACK.

He was absolutely brilliant last time out at Glastonbury,  I really hope your optimism that he will headline is justified and no other festival nabs him as an exclusive. SoEmily, get on the phone now! 🤞😊.

If it’s the two I’ve just seen on social media, they’re great! Although you can tell he’s been working with Adam from the war on drugs lol

Totally agree he's brilliant and from watching him doing small sets and then onto Glastonbury and his own gig at Alexander Palace I am really hoping the new album launches him into headlining glastonbury

I'm of the same opinion, but I'll probably stick his catalogue on rotation when the new music drops to see if anything sticks.  My son and I arrived in the Pyramid field after Phoebe Bridgers just as Seventeen going under started and it was hard not to find that an uplifting experience even as a non-fan.

Am I the only one who thinks that Sam Fender/War on Drugs/Springsteen B Sides are all completely indistinguishable and bang average?  It's not bad, it's just really meh.  Bog standard scales, melodies, chord changes and lyrics.  It's so by the numbers it just wafts past and leaves me unaffected, which is probably my least favourite kind of music.  Just doesn't land at all.

Quite possibly.

 

Put some headphones in. If The Dying Light and Alright don't make you feel something then I'd be genuinely surprised.

And that explains the beauty of music. There’s styles that suit some but not others. I never judge anyone by their musical tastes. I love Fender, Springsteen etc but I can understand why it might leave you cold. That’s why Glastonbury is so good, there’s always something on offer that I like whether it’s  a pyramid headliner or a band up in strummerville.

      2027 Headliners

      By Suprefan · Posted

      Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha

      No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.

      Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
