CaledonianGonzo Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 There's a massively different public perception of Grande in the UK given what happened in Manchester and her the bravura display of empathy and sheer talent at the subsequent tribute concert.

Yeah, that thought did cross my mind. It certainly elevated her standing / reputation in the UK. Can't speak for her actual performance as didn't see it or much about it, but it massively endeared her to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When people say to me: Are the 1975 fucking shit or a potential Glastonbury headliner? My answer's always the same, to me, they're not mutually exclusive.

I’m genuinely shocked that Glastonbury did not sweep her up pretty soon after that. Ariana has done a lot in the U.K., played Manchester pride and she’s pretty much a household name here. Worried we are going to have a bit of a Gaga situation with her. Where when she does end up headlining it will feel a few years too late. But better late than never!

I don't really see one I can think of many. Ariana has already warmed to headlining festivals on her tour. It’s not a case of getting her for her first festival headline slot. She’s done plenty already. Also yeah Ariana is more of a critical darling and an exciting zeitgeist. The festival could book Bieber and Harry Styles if they wanted to but I don’t think the festival would want them as a front and centre (headlining) act. I doubt they would agree to play lower.

Could have been last year I guess but have zero idea of how active she was then, ditto with what would have bee this year's. Caveat: obviously an artist's activity level isn't the sole indicator of whether they'd play or not, but definitely a factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 If they book Gaga next year I don't think it would be 'too late'. Better now post Shallow and Chromatica than - say - the Artpop period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She headlined Coachella last year, so she was definitely about (although not sure if she was active or in the country in the Summer). Bringing most of *NSYNC out was a nice touch at Coachella, could see something like that being replicated at Glasto (bringing out Gaga for example).

jparx Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Booking Gaga for 2021 would be like booking AC/DC for Donington in 1991. Sure it's not the Back in Black tour, but equally Razors Edge was much better than Flick of the Switch era. So not Gaga at the absolutely height of her powers, but she's come through a bit of a down patch and got a couple more great singles under her belt and a solid new album.

Matt42 Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Ariana definitely fits the criteria for an artist who might have agreed to do it on their next tour if she hasn’t really had a chance since 2019 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Ariana Grande exists in a world completely outside of my own bubble, only thing I really know of her is obviously the tragic events in Manchester. Couldn’t name one of her songs at all. Will have to take the word of you lot on whether she’s headline material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jyoung Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 Can't imagine Ari headlining Glasto. Would be down for it though. I don't think Coachella is a good example, didn't they pay something like $8 million dollars for her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted July 13, 2020 Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 So Gorillaz and Tame Impala seem to be co headlining RW according to Ken. Tame Impala was a hint, but seems likely to be them. That would be “replacing” either SOAD or Kendrick. If Tame didn’t just smash it on the Other at the last festival I’d throw their hat in the ring. Yes obviously not quite big enough, lack of bangers or whatever other criticism you want to make, but the list of potential headliners doesn’t seem very extensive at this stage.
