Does that billing constitute a headliner? If so well done to him. Looking forward to Worthy Farm and I’m a recent Fred convert

Look at the demographic difference between the two festivals. I would imagine that The Prodigy would be a bigger draw amongst the Glastonbury crowd.

As an aside, and I am surprised myself at this... There is quite a bit on that Parklife lineup that I would be interested in.

Second stage headliner (its basically the same size as the main stage though)

Look at who did those 2 slots last year - Megan who headlined Other and is arguably even less glasto demographic and Lewis Capaldi who is that size if not bigger.

[FloorFiller]

Although Parklife is obviously more his crowd, that certainly makes him headlining Other seem like a likely prospect. Guy has gone from strength to strength in such a short span of time.

I meant the Scotland summer ad but maybe he has a Glasgow show too planned.

seems to be rather sparse this summer in the UK by all accounts (which is smart to be fair, playing every festival under the sun never leads to bigger slots - many artist could take note)

He’s also going to be announcing some big London gigs for September

[stuartbert two hats]

Do you think he'll be able to afford someone to take some proper photos now?

[mike46]

Just announced Madison Square Garden for this weekend! 
 

edit - that is the Skrillex/Four Tet set rather than just Fred solo

And sold out in 15 mins.  Which is a bit mad as I think the capacity is 20,000!  Goti be in for a shout of Other Stage (or at least West Holts) headliners.  Think a set at Arcadia would be beyond rammed.

Yeah think it’s just gonna be Other headliner now tbh. I very much had my doubts but his huge popularity is inarguable, and if he’s up against GnR like is rumoured then he’ll pull a massive crowd.

I thought the same but admit Other stage seems more likely. 

Up against GNR would suit me fine tbh.

Its that cap because its 360 in the round. If it was end stage with standing its only 13,500. 
 

and since when did american popularity matter now....

Of course Skrillex will have been the catalyst in shifting those tickets but there's no doubting Fred's ever increasing global popularity. He seems to be working hard to perpetuate that too, using the power of social media to generate interest. 

They have a funny dynamic those three. You've got the extroverted Sonny and Fred leading the charge with Kieran just beaming in the background, happy to enjoy the ride from the backseat. 

Come on Perez, not every post has to be a provocative Merica vs the World conversation. Lighten up a little.
