2024 Headliners

[Acid_Haze]

Could be plenty of options. O Rod, Foo Fighters, The Killers, Bruce Springsteen, Pink, Dave, Blur, Ed Sheeran. All touring right now, Kings of Leon are playing Hyde park Sunday aren't they?

From what I know they always tend to have someone on backup so chances are they've probably just given them a call and worked something out.

Someone get Chris Martin on the ph... oh.

I think an O-Rod bump makes a lot of sense.  It looks good to have a headliner which is really popular with young people and a hot ticket for her own gigs right now. Would definitely get press, likely the press would be positive.

I know that Dua Lipa/Coldplay/ Olivia Rodrigo doesn't read well for the real guitars/real haircuts clan but much more interesting than someone like KoL.

Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo are hitting very similar audiences though, they at least try to change it up over the 3 days. If someone was stepping up to headline I don't think it'd be her.

Seems the rumours had substance - plans just changed in the Wonder camp.

Sense prevailed.

Emily needs to get on the blower to Damon immediately. "We're in a bind mate."

Just cause we only found out today it doesn't mean the festival did, they could've found out a few weeks ago for all we know.

Wasn’t there a recent report that Emily had said there was a delay in dropping a poster and when we see it we will see why.  Sure I remember that being said in the last few weeks. Maybe the SW situation was the reason.

I can see Olivia Rodrigo doing it.

I think after the stick they got last year for booking all Male headliners, 2 of which were oldie acts they'll feel they have room to book more current and female headliners this year.

Let’s be honest, Coldplay and Kings of Leon on the same year would be a diversity and gender disaster - will we ever escape the shackles of the white men and their guitars? 😂

agreed but if its last minute cancellations what choice do they have? plus you know like sometimes you have 2 rock bands headline, why not 2 pop acts?

Late last year. Circumstances may have changed.

They're young women, but that aside they're very different propositions.  It's like comparing ABBA to Joy Division.

I think that is from the interview she gave last year so thing could have changed again since then.

Coldplay have mostly managed to escape their guitars, it’s all synths and saucy puppet shows now

Found it

Fancy doing a 2nd post?

Assuming the original poster was legit (which they really didn't seem at the time), what have been the clues that we're meant to have found in the weeks since they posted?

Pearl Jam could, technically, squeeze in the Friday too I think?

and why didn't they tell us what the "useful information" was that they gave before? Would give them a bit of credibility.

[Franco Baresi]

Who was the headliner that pulled out last year for GnR to replace?

[Superscally]

Glasto stuck in the SW corner
