2025 Headliners

I usually think Oasis reunion rumours are bollocks, but the fact the official Oasis YouTube channel has uploaded a new interview with Noel where he's singing Liam's praises throughout makes me think something is definitely afoot. Just seems odd that they are sharing this content now, paying for Noel to go up to Manchester to get filmed and interviewed in a record shop, if there's nothing at all to promote?

There's been so many rumours about them reuniting for a while that they've almost felt pase. But this run of saying they'd booked Heaton Park in particular has been very strong for a couple of weeks now, particularly if it's now having mainstream crossover.

 

Maybe they've seen the numbers Pulp and Blur were pulled for their reunion shows last year and that Liam himself was selling a lot of tickets to his Definitely Maybe nostalgia tour and helped them think there could be something in it.

If this is happening - and it's a big if - I'd take a punt on them headlining the G alongside the Wembley and Manchester shows.  They'd do the latter for the money and the G for the kudos.

Also for the momentum. I think they’d want to headline Glasto and to do so two years after they reformed for WTSMG 30, would seem a little anti-climatic to say the least. 
 

Playing the fest would give them maximum exposure so that even if they take a pay cut to play it, it would shore up any other event wavering on whether to spend to book them (depending on whether they’d be any good).

Setting aside Noel recently whinging about Glastonbury, we sure there's not memories of when in 2004 they did a Pyramid headline show in one of their first shows for a while as "We're back on tour, get on board" show and by consensus they had a stinker?

Wouldn't see either quibble getting in the way of them headlining again.

Beware of quote mining. 

 

Same interview "probably the best f**king thing about Britain apart from the Premier League”

Sun seem to be writing up the reunion as confirmed, but guess that is the Sun...https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/30077114/oasis-reunion-confirmed-historic-comeback-concert/

 

For me, would be a top notch booking if Glasto landed it.

I guess we'll find out one way or another.

It’s about time we had some real half truths, speculation and convoluted hints about next years headliners, especially about Oasis. Been a bit boring since the last glastonbury shut the big green gates😊😉

[Euphoricape]

Sky news reporting oasis are playing glastonbury next year, just been on TV. Holy sh*t balls!

[Euphoricape]

Fri- Fred Again

Sat - Oasis

Sun - O rod

[StoneCircle]

But would Glastonbury take the risk of booking Oasis? There is always the huge possibility of them pulling out when they fall out again! 

[mufcok]

I thought that Fred Reading set was exceptional.

 

Still convinced he'll headline Glastonbury next year

[Euphoricape]

Could we even get a Britpop headline trio:

 

Fri  Blur

Say Oasis

Sun Pulp

cant kill off a festival if its sold out before you book even one artist. Only way to see if the festival would struggle is if you announced a line up and then ticket sales afterwards. No blind sale at all. And have an open resale market for tickets too. The festival is going to keep moving into the direction of the dua's and sza's anyway because theyll have to. If they kept on going with just the old hat at the top of the line up youll have made sure the future wasnt going to go as well. Why should younger attendees go if all theyre gonna get is  the Billy Joels,  Guns N Roses and Foos every year. That gets boring. And sure, they could try an orchestra type thing on the Pyramid if they wanted to. They could try anything, but they wont. Somebody like them can only take a "risk" every few years when they know they have a Coldplay in their pocket.  If next year was Rihanna, Fred and Olivia youre gonna see the general public be pissed off til kingdom come. The "what happened to glastonbury" op ed's will be raining down  even more than what happened with Sza. Youre never going to make the core audience of the fest "happy" anyway. Only thing that will keep the complainers  at bay is Oasis right now. Emily shouldnt have to sit there and defend what was done anyway. Also, this year was a down year FOR EVERYONE. Nobody was immune from talent issues or oversaturation or costs and the like. Be grateful your favorite events still exist. Everyone only cares about the optics anyway. 

Wow - you’ve extrapolated my point there and gone in a totally bizarre direction. As to be expected.

 

if they book an orchestra to headline, it wouldn’t sell out the next year. Simple as that.

[Spindles]

As much as I find Oasis to be a bit of a tiresome dirge these days at least it gives us something to talk about.  Hell, I'd probably even go watch them myself, just because I never saw them live during their heyday.

surely it would be better to have Oasis on The Pyramid and Blur on The Other (or vice versa) on the same night..?

Let them finally fight it out..

[EthelBailey]

Friday - Fred Again. 
Saturday - Rihanna. 

Sunday - Oasis. 

What do we think? 

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Just watching Fred again.. at Reading. Looks awesome. For me, it looks better than his Other Stage slot last year.

 

Think he'd nail a Friday night Pyramid headline slot.

Pink Floyd/Supertramp/Toto* nailed on.

Doesn't look like he's played with any of those since the 1980's. I saw him and his enormous mullet with the Floyd in 1988
