So the first step of that is the Leak is wrong. The leak happened at a point in time when Stevie was still in the frame. Not difficult.

Streaming numbers is not a proportional metric of Pyramid worthiness. A factor, yes, but not a big one. I wouldn't say that they should headline, but Stereophonics would pull a bigger crowd than SZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex DeLarge Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 It's going to be embarrassing for Emily when the field is completely empty because she didn't pay attention to 6music dad's posting "who?" SZA will try and get a sing-along going, but there will only be about twenty of us there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t realise how quick the turn around from balance payment to the Silver Hayes lineup was last year. It’ll all come thick and fast soon!

Acid_Haze Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Excited now at the prospect of seeing SZA headline. Will believe it when I see it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 3 minutes ago, Ben7amin_ said: Haha and now we are talking about SZA....... headlining Bonkers The situation seems to be fairly volatile, which if nothing else explains the delay in the poster. It could well still be Stevie and this is a red herring - but that's why we're here - to rake all this stuff over and chat sh*t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TiZuff Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 im a big sza fan, think both her albums are great but her music just doesnt scream pyramid headliner to me. its very "vibey". i can imagine the crowd being very quiet in a kind of "stand , sway and watch" kind of way. Id also go as far to say she will have one of the smallest pyramid headliner crowds ever. thats not a knock on her, its just the music tastes of glastonbury and what people want out of a pyramid headliner, which generally speaking is something a bit more energetic? is that the right term? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 Folk also thought Adele would d@b down due to the general lack of party-starters in her setlist - and we know what happened there. No idea whether SZA packs the same amount of rizz as 2016-era Adele though, which was definitely a factor in that set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 I would also genuinely like to say that I very much feel @stuies months-long huff about Madge d@bbing down. I see you and I hear you my brother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetjef Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 (edited) Just checked out top tracks for SZA on Spotify. Thought I would likely recognise a few as my wife listens to radio 1 in the mornings. Didn’t really recognise any though (other than the Kendrick Lamar one starz). I, as a 6 music dad ha, thought all popular music was on radio 1 . If she’s so massive how come she isn’t getting more radio 1 airplay? Also seeing the album reviews have been really strong im surprised some of the tracks haven’t been picked up on 6 too. how has she got so big over here without much radio pickup? is it just she is massive in the US and all the monster stream numbers are global rather than UK will dive into these two albums now, but a glasto headline does seem a big stretch.

If SZA is announced the Neil Lonsdale's of the world will whinge until June so I'm sure they can take a bit of light ribbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiZuff Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 i dont think there is any comparison between the popularity of adeles catalogue versus SZA. on 2 different planets in terms of people knowing the songs... and personality.. and one being a huge british artist. people could name at least 5 adele songs off the top of their head, most people at glasto wont know who sza is.

If someone's not into SZA or don't know her work - who cares? It's the smug "I've never heard of this person, therefore they're shite" attitude which is just annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 2 Report Share Posted March 2 In fact I wish 6 music broke out more Lana and SZA than trying to convince its listeners that Idles were a thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
