These stories are published by one rag and picked up but others as "news". It was the same when the Mail "confirmed" all 3 headliners, the others went with it and just put an "according to The Mail" line in their pieces.

henry bear Posted December 18, 2023 Report Share Posted December 18, 2023 Although there is perhaps some credence to this one given how quickly Emily refuted that these weren't the three headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would absolutely kill the crowd after 5 songs. I think they should also throw in a few other tracks and get maybe 75 minutes. I'd go with; Somebody Told Me Jenny Was a Friend of Mine On Top Human Andy, You're A Star Everything Will Be Alright Smile Like You Mean It Glamourous Indie Rock 'n' Roll Midnight Show Change Your Mind* Read My Mind All These Things That I've Done When You Were Young Mr Brightside *Maybe - it is on the US version of the album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think her second album was fantastic. Her first was excellent and her 2nd was good. I have no doubt she'll headline because she's building a big fanbase, I just think it would a weak and underwhelming headline performance at this stage of her career. What difference to her performance does it make that she 'gets' Glastonbury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Cos she won't treat it as just another tour show and would potentially deploy extra bells and whistles in her performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Fuss is a cover to cover great album, but it just would not hold the attention of a festival audience after the 5th song because those fist 5 songs are so f**king good. It's possibly the strongest opening half of a debut album ever - Jenny Was a Friend of Mine, Mr Brightside, Smile Like You Mean It, Somebody Told Me, All These Things That I've Done. You just can't follow that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 As far as I would tell Billie's set was just her arena show with a few songs trimmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aj6658 Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 I think the idea of a Hot fuss anniversary gig at Glastonbury is 100% not happening. Secret gig - maybe, Headliner - highly unlikely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
