Avalon_Fields Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 3 hours ago, Gnomicide said: Madonna was always going to have to significantly lower her fee to play Glastonbury, I'm sure her team knew this and the festival would have made it clear from the start. My gut feeling with Madonna was that she is too expensive but with the amount of talk about her, I had come round to thinking it may happen. It still could but it's far from surprising news if they just won't pay what she wants. I’d tend to agree, to me it fits in with their denial about the three headliners being booked, this explains why it was denied, they were only in negotiations with Madonna.

Macca and Elton weren't booked off the back of their work in the last few years. Even the f**king Killers won't be booked due to f**king Pressure Machine. Calm down ! calm down! My point is they shouldn’t over pay for her? If she’s only chasing the dough she should stick to the BMW and Audi set at BST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way the alternative replacement is gonna be on the same level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 If it’s true, won’t their first priority be a replacement female headliner? But that may be quite difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that may be quite difficult. Olivia Rodrigo's European tour finishes four days before in Lisbon. Clearly went down extremely well in 2022, and has released one of the best pop records in years since. Would absolutely smash a Friday Pyramind headline slot whilst bringing Gen Z's interest along for future festivals.

Anyway I wouldn’t throw big money at any Glastonbury headliner. They don’t have to. Yes, I guess all those outstanding albums that crossed multiple genres released by her throughout the 80,90s and 2000s don't matter. Madonna could have stopped making music in 2008 and people would still clamour to see her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm largely on your side O think, her albums aren't the reason either. It's all about her singles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's a bloke but Springsteen is still free Sunday night... although unlikely as he's in Netherlands the night before and doesn't do back to backs this time round.

MEGABOWL Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Wasn’t there some mad rumour that Dave was playing but not headlining? Would be an easy bump up if so. Or Olivia Rodrigo, could get on board with that. Though it does ruin the picture on my head where she’s on before Coldplay Saturday night.

Joey Peeps Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 The stuff about Dave subbing next year. Could be something to it but replacing Madonna rather than subbing? As keen as they are for another female headliner they might be more relaxed about any anticipated gender balance criticism by at least not booking another old white guy. I've no idea where Dave is at album release wise TBF so maybe not feasible, though Stormzy did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
