i was told and i put it in thread after 2022 festival by the pr team of one of the artists playing the pyramid in 2022, that 1975 wear due to headline this year. was called out on it. but can only pass on the info i had at the time. haven't spoke to the source in question since so don't know what their thoughts are on the info.

1975 would be great fun IMO, similar to Killers where they have more bangers than you quite realise 

Exactly - both are hated on quite a bit, but they are two of my favourites live that know how to put on a hell of a show. Non-stop bangers all the way

I really don't think AM were bad tbh, they have never been know for their enormous stage presence. 

They aren't in the same bracket as Gorillaz. 

gnr will perhaps be added to that list.

Feels weird to me that they'd have 2 out of 3 of Reading's (real) headliners from last year, with AM and 1975

Good point although i think who really cares at the same time. If its them two and someone impressive like Elton nobody will bat an eyelip beyond this forum (maybe because they are distracted by it being 3 white men)

Yeah I do agree. Very much a nitpick for the sort of person who uses a festival forum, rather than anything the general punter cares about

Yeah - agreed.  That's why I don't see them both headlining, but at the same time it would seem odd them not being there at all.  Will just have to wait and see what happens

Re the 1975 - They were intended to headline R+L 2023 before RATM pull out. Based on that I can only see the 1975 getting the call up to headline through a cancellation since last August.

Which is surely unlikely

Good point

I would absolutely love it to be The 1975 but I just can’t see it. AM seem pretty nailed on and I don’t know why but I don’t think they’d book both. 
I’m sure wouldn’t accept Pyramid sub or Other headliners so I’m not sure where they can play other than headlining Pyramid. I suspect they might end up being one of those acts where the timing never seems to work.

I can’t speak for them personally and obviously don’t know their thought process on it… but I don’t really understand the logic of being a band of that status and refusing to play Glastonbury just because you’re not headlining the Pyramid. They’re a big band yes, but they’re not absolutely huge. Don’t see why they wouldn’t take Other headliner if they were offered it - it’s still a big slot - just my 2 cents!

But maybe I’m just being overly positive about it because I’d absolutely love for them to be there

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL. 
    • We've reasonably predicted/wanted a bill of Blink, Avril, Good Charlotte for a while 😅    I'm surprised that Good Charlotte's UK shows in November seem to be doing well atm... obviously if they sell out those venues then they should be subheadliners right? (if they play download that is). They'd only look a strong sub if it was before Blink though I rekn.
