2025 Headliners

SZA showed us that monthly Spotify listeners is a pointless metric to use.   

There was more people at his Other sub set than her Pyramid headline set. 

You're not wrong, but it was used to score points against her and justify why she was a poor booking (something I disagreed with) for a lot of folk on here, so it's only fair the same metric should be used against future headliners. 

I would also say comparing the crowd sizes of the two artists, performing on different stages at different times of day at different points in their careers, is also a pointless metric and one that is open to interpretation a lot more than spotify listeners.

That Stereophonics tour could play a part. White guys with guitars and more than a few hits - could be a gift for the Sunday locals after SZA and Kendrick in recent years…

I think the Isle of Wight headline slot rules them out of headlining, though there's nothing to say they can't do the Other or second top if IOW contracts don't rule them out of that type of slot. They're not available on the Saturday but the other two are possibilities, they're doing 3 nights in a row at the start of June, though Glasgow to Glastonbury is a bit further than those ones!

I don't think there's anything linking her to the festival, and the news this morning that she turned down presumably a shedload of cash to headline Coachella strongly suggests she'll look at Glastonbury's offer and burst out laughing.

 

Bang on my thoughts. What is the actual reason for her to do it at this juncture?

Ha, I didn’t realise Stereophonics were playing IoW. Not unheard of for bands to do Glastonbury and then Hyde Park, so wouldn’t have thought any difference for Finsbury!

Glastonbury/HP and Glastonbury/Finsbury I think are combos that have both been done tbf. But yeah an IOW/Glasto/Finsbury/Cardiff run feels like oversaturation for Stereos. So they've probably made their bed for this year.

Kylie is on tour and in O2 early June. Know she’s been in the Legend slot already but could also see O-Rod - Fred - Kylie as a possibility? She’s had a few hits since 2019 but maybe not enough for a completely different set though. 


Think she’d have been a great shout if she hadn’t done ‘19

On Fred, I don't think it's out of the conversation that he could headline Other. If C&S are believe to be good to headline one of the Reading days after MK Bowl/a venue that similarly Fred could have done for example instead of Reading and they would be a Other headliner then he could. 

 

O-Rod, Fred, Rihanna would still be my guess though.

My opinion is well known, but I don't think he'd have a super small crowd at either so is a fairly safe chess piece for the festival.

I don't believe after his small show this year that he's not being lined up on some way. The fact of how much of a different act he is, is exactly the reason Eavis will book him too.

 

I think it shows a directly for the festival for me far from where I go long term though. It would explain why Fontaines and Yungblud are two apparent subs they've attempted to go for too.

Don't you think maybe she might have just turned Coachella down purely cause it's too early in the year - and that her tour isn't ready for then?

 

Might not be about the money. It sounds like she was booked initially for 2023, and pulled out due to pregnancy. Sounds like it's not to do with money, part of me thinks maybe Glastonbury 2025 was already pencilled in for her a while ago and Coachella just didn't work with her touring plans. There seems to be a lot of news articles about a big tour next year including Glastonbury specifically, from British and American sources, they must be coming from somewhere.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • 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 during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • 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.
