Fred could be announced solo and then the rest show up but can't see all 3 together be announced. They have never done anything as of yet that has been announced more than a few days in advance i'd note

Why?
They’ve only been playing with each other for a short amount of time so they’ve not really been able to announce dates in advance.

Skrillex & Fred are both playing Parklife which has been announced months in advance.

Four Tet & Skrillex have actually played Mayfield together in the past. It really wouldn’t be that unrealistic.

Parklife is an 80k festival (although i guess that does show they have a relationship with WHP)

Four Tet & Skrillex were both far smaller then and thats without Fred too whos bigger than them both

guess we'll see as we clearly won't agree on this but i think its way out of WHP's scope.

Is there a video anywhere of Fred's live show? I watched his magnificent TDC but it's hard to see how that could be replicated on a big stage with a huge crowd.

 

there's tons of shit audience full set clips

Disagree entirely that Four Tet & Skrillex were smaller then. It was 2019, Four Tet had already headlined shows at Mayfield (2015) on his own merit before WHP properly took it over. Four Tet’s been massive for years. Skrillex was arguably bigger when he was realising all that mad music in the early 10s.

Four Tet wasn't doing 30k at ally pally then. Skrillex had died down significantly by 2019 from his hype in the early 10s when he got slots like Other headline for example

New point:

Has WHP ever booked a Coachella headliner? Or even a UK major festival headliner to do the same set (ie not Disclosure as they do live at fests vs DJ at WHP)

Them three as a trio is miles bigger than anything they've booked before.

Don’t think you can consider them as Coachella headliners, they stepped in last minute because Frank Ocean screwed it up the week before. 

Four Tet is huge in the scheme of things but you could argue that he’s only succeeded at Ally Pally due to the Squid Soup lighting.

I also can’t imagine them to be stuck up about playing there, it’s the biggest club in the North by far.

Its about paying them all more than anything. 3 acts that could headline it on their own doing it together means a lot of money spent on them.

Don’t even see them wanting that much to do it. They seem to be enjoying giving people these mad moments even with the 37 pull ups of Ratatata

We’ll agree to disagree for the time being pal, wish you all the best. See ya on the floor.

Other than the rap acts they've had (Skepta, Central Cee, Megan Thee Stallion, Little Simz etc), only one I can think of is when they have had Bicep do live sets. Other than that, 'headline' level names like The Chemical Brothers, Chase & Status etc have all been DJ as far as I'm aware. They've had a lot of smaller names do Live sets such as Rudimental, Underworld, Overmono etc but other than Bicep, not headline level Live sets.

Also upvoted, not sure why that was downvoted, quite a valid point. Fred Again.. I suppose was a live set last year, but he would've been booked way before he had his massive rise in popularity and was considered a headliner, certainly a reason why Parklife have bumped him to headline The Valley. PHM would probably be the biggest booking they have ever had there imo if it happened, would happily welcome it of course, but think they could comfortably sell out the arena instead.

The Prodigy, Orbital, Aphex Twin, Deadmau5 & Flying Lotus have all previously played live at WHP.

Disclosure did play live there in 2013 after the brought out Settle

Christening the new Amazon Alexa with this set, if they all do a Glastonbury set I really don’t know where would be large enough stage to fit the crowd 

Pyramid. If you wanna gauge in comparison to Coachella, the end of the Pyramid Field is just in front of the Spectra Tower. ( the glowing rainbow column )

That Blink 182 mix towards the end was rather nice. Hopefully get an extended version at Glasto.

Blink is playing Glasto?

    • Yeah so many of mine seem to be just France v Spain in one semi and England/Brazil v Argentina in the other. But the fact those combos are the obvious ones mean it feels unlikely that'll happen because in World Cup history, you very rarely end up with what pre-tournament looks like the obvious final 4. We all see teams outperform and underperform. Which one is the fall guy is a different matter.   I've said elsewhere that for me, there's a hierarchy of Spain, France and Argentina as the 3 strongest looking, then England and Portugal, then Brazil and Germany, but that overall, they'd be the 7 likeliest to win. So I dunno, maybe this will be the time the Netherlands avenge the failure of total football in 1974 and achieve what they couldn't achieve through whatever the f**k Nigel de Jong was with his 2010 final karate moves.
    • Oh I think Infantino should resign. His handling of the whole WC process has been an utter shitshow. But you know. That would require him having integrity or something.
    • Good Charlotte would be fine third down or subbing. If they can get a bigger sub and still get GC, they’ll play third down.

    • Nope, Sum 41 had already headlined second stage along with Rob Zombie and Slayer in 2017....are we saying that Rob and Slayer would be 4th down the Pyramid. The KSE are always predicted 3rd down, Skindred are given 3rd down and we think 7 years after a second stage headline with that genre very 'IN' they wouldn't get 3rd down.  Sum 41 did a last ever UK did that had Wembley Arena and not The 02 and it wasn't anywhere near the prices Good Charlotte is costing. Every act is going to do well on a final tour, GC have only just come back and in my opinion a shocking day of music overall for the return choice.    On Slam Dunk, firstly Sum 41 headlined in 2022 when festivals returned from the covid time out, every festival going sold out and some very quickly! Secondly, Slam Dunk in 2022 was not £150 for a day ticket. Also thirdly, Slam Dunk 2022 was a great lineup, this years was pants! I met two guys at RIP who said to me they think 2025 was more fitting for the anniversary lineup and they couldn't be more correct, in the very top lineups they've ever put out. Its not as plain and simple as you've put.
