The 1975

I'm totally not The 1975's audience (far too old) but I think they're amazing.

 

They're very different to what I usually listen to but have seen them live 4 times now and they really deliver. When they play "The Sound", it's going to be a Glastonbury moment.

 

Totally agree that Matty can be an asshole but I have come to terms with the fact that most great pop/rock/music stars are just awful people. I can't imagine how you could be in that position and still be normal.

 

I'm really surprised at how dismissive people are of them, but totally understand that people's tastes differ. I feel like that about Arctic Monkeys, Coldplay and Muse, for example.

I've never seen the 1975, only own their debut, but I am intrigued and there is a chance this show could be a real catapult...just wish FOALS would have gotten that shot they were close to...

Foals and Biffy Clyro the two that got away for me. For a brief moment, think both were probably big enough - but then it passed.

 

Sounds strange, to say they've been ready since about 2020, but think if The 1975 don't pop up this time around, they'll join those ranks. 2027 is a long way away and always hard to see who sticks around.

As mentioned in the 2025 Headliners thread, The S*n - and since picked up by others - say that album number six is imminent.

 

They also doubled down on them being Glastonbury headliners, though there does seem to be some speculation they are out in favour of Sam Fender.

Just need The 1975 announcement so I can rest easy until June. Simply don't care about the rest of the lineup (half true)

Yeah, not out as far as I know. But was using it to illustrate the point that not too many sit at the top of the rumour mill for this long and then drop out without good reason, if that makes sense.

 

I'm about seventy-five percent certain they're in. The issue is simply down to whether Glastonbury feel Healy's behaviour is ultimately prohibitive to the position of Glastonbury headliner.

I see little if any evidence that Glastonbury cancels bands or artists based on their behaviour. 
 

Very possible I’ve missed something. Has anyone got any examples?

On the whole you're right, but I don't think Dizzee Rascal has been booked since his DV conviction.

 

Slowthai was also quietly dropped from the lineup one year.

As was Nina Kraviz, for being a Putin fan girl.

Interesting 

 

If their cancelling people for political views then I imagine a lot more should go.

IIRC Emily was hosting Ukrainian refugees at the farm so it was probably an easy decision to make!

Grimes will never get booked if you wanna put it simply. Same with MIA.

I’ve seen both of them play at Glastonbury. Grimes on The Park, brilliant, and MIA on WH. 
 

Why wouldn’t the later be booked?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
