CaledonianGonzo Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Assuming she plays - and we clearly hope she does - where do we think she'll show up? Has she outgrown West Holts headliner size? There doesn't seem to be any space for her at the top of the Other Stage. I can't really see it third down on the Pyramid.

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 The potential clash with Lizzo or Lana instigates an instant case of the heebie-jeebies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 I’d still go with WH headliner myself. She’s obviously absolutely huge in other parts of Europe but I’m not sure that’s quite translated to here just yet, and they’ve had some pretty big acts topping WH in the past. But yeah, IF she is in fact too big, third or subbing Other it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 She'd be a good counter to either of Pulp or QOTSA if they end up subbing the Pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Just checked on that Spotify that they have now. #61 worldwide apparently. (Arctic Monkeys are #62) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'd probably want to play a stage that can cater for those needs better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 How are other fests managing? She's playing Werchter, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanh Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 At a guess I would have also said Other sub. Don't know if it sold out, but videos from her show at The o2 looked fairly busy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s playing the main stage there apparently before your dream top two of QOTSA and Arctic Monkeys. I think Other sub makes sense too. She’d be a decent fit before any of Sam Smith, Fred or The Prodigy and a good counter to the guitars on the Pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigpusher Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 I just hope she is there and that there isn’t a horrible clash. Really love her latest album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuwarr Posted January 19, 2023 Report Share Posted January 19, 2023 Saw her at the O2 last month. Was absolutely sublime. I think the show really suits a night time slot so WH would make sense. A. huge percentage of the audience were Spanish too so I've no idea of her crossover appeal to mainstream British audiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the popularity of Spain as a holiday destination for the Brits, maybe that's something? Or are holidaying Brits in Spain not that much into the local culture? Who am I to judge or imply anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think she's just more critically acclaimed and the music is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
