Sling on Kacey Musgraves before Diana and I'll be camped the whole afternoon/evening for the first time. I think Dua > Kenny works better but I do agree it'd be nice for a 'party' atmosphere before Taylor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
504329lt Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 With the exception of Diana Ross I think I'll steer clear. Suggestions just look boring. If they put Bikini Kill on it would be a different matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need a beat / or for it to be loud in the main. To me she's very boring. I want a party before Swift. I am not into Dua Lipa either, but she would be upbeat and I could get into it. Preference for before Taylor.... Lizzo. LDR is a massive act and I am sure for the fans she will be a big hit. I will be somewhere else though I hope. This this this. I don't mind Lana but Lizzo into Taylor would be immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northtim Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Nothing to see here... https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/whats-on/music-nightlife/glastonbury-festival-organisers-respond-rumours-3843020 Is there any truth in the rumour? Those who were in favour of the proposal will be disappointed to hear it is just a rumour and nothing more. Glastonbury Festival told Bristol Live there are 'no plans' for an all-female lineup on the Pyramid Stage. A spokesperson said: "Although the two acts we’ve announced for Sunday so far are obviously female - Taylor Swift and Diana Ross - there are no plans for Sunday’s Pyramid line-up to be entirely made up of female acts."

jimmillen Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 What sort of behaviour is that, getting an actual confirmation from the festival rather than indulging in pure speculation and guesswork?! Honestly... Wild statement too from that article on the Friday headliner: 🙄 Quote There is plenty of speculation around who the third and final headliner could be, with tipped acts including Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen and Guns N' Roses. Have they got the right year?! 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not offended at all For me the question around it is how the festival would do it without forcing the issue through targeted, segregated ticket sales or pricing bands. But not one for an internet forum while you're at work. And I REALLY need to do some work today i will start a thread later when I finish work as I do not want to derail this thread too much. It is an interesting topic and I do think a lot more can be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirjonnyp Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 Truth stage had an all female day last year (Sunday I think?) and no one appeared to give two hoots. I get this is a different scale and going to generate headlines, but it's been done before at the festival (and let's not forget the female-only tent too!) As others have said above, would be great to have an all female day as well as more female acts across all stages, especially the main five or so.

ProperTea Posted February 13, 2020 Report Share Posted February 13, 2020 I don't remember people calling the days when the Pyramid stage was wall to wall men a gimmick. Maybe it'll just happen organically based on who's big, Pyramid level and available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
