I didn't say it would be busy than Dua Lipa but I don't know how big her crowd was further back. What I do know is that before Glastonbury, Olivia outsold her with her own tour with that much ease it's not even a comparison worth speaking about. And we both know if Olivia did a stadium tour instead she equally would sell it. Olivia is basically doing Glastonbury now and will still have tons of people that will go to a next stadium tour with it. Olivia at Glastonbury is a massive booking right now.

Ah sorry -it was implied based off what you had replied to

That Leicester player said he'd get fed up with the same gag every week.

 

N'didi?

 

Yeah, he did.

All very good, but I bet you can’t name an Arsenal player, Kanu?

Weird one for the rugby league fans among us - discovered Wigan forward Junior Nsemba is the cousin of Alex Song.

Even if the bookers were crazy enough to take that risk..

 

He'd not agree to it anyway, given his seeming dislike of playing live and the bruising he took at Coachella. I've very much got the impression that he's one of the "only for a massively inflated fee" artists.

if he wanted the money he wouldve kept playing weekend 2. But he sh*t the bed and also had to eat some of his iwn fee to pay for the production stuff. The ice skating rink wasnt free.

 

we got lemonade out of the lemons anyway. Fred, Skrillex and Four Tet threw down and Blink 182 played to a hometown crowd to close the Sunday. It all worked out. I am fine to have witnessed Franks downfall because you dont know how insufferable it had been for 3 years of Frank hype.

 

 

so its

 

Friday: Olivia

Saturday: Fred

Sunday: Eminem

 

got it. Emily will scream to to heavens about having their first asian headliner now.

Yes if there's one thing Emily Eavis is known for it's screaming to the heavens.

Just heard this on the radio - someone at Coldplay’s last gig requested their song “Fix It” …. Good improvisation, to be fair  https://x.com/planetacoldplay/status/1843416099720695854?s=46&t=dalEebDlRypjk77YE_o6Vw

Don't think they actually played Fix You as a result, which seems unnecessarily cruel.

 

Can't wait for him to improv a song about Hull.

She identifies as Filipino American.

Tho she will be up onstage singing All-American Bitch

And what an absolute banger that is

[NorthernSoul52]

Should whip out a local cover, something by Massive Attack.

[4AssedMonkey]

For selfish reasons, I'd want Rihanna over Stevie Wonder.  Purely because I've seen Stevie twice but would feel compelled to to watch him again and couldn't give 2 f**ks about Rihanna so would be free to go elsewhere.

I’m 50 and would be thrilled to see O-Rod headline.

 

That's fair enough but I think you can appreciate her lyrics aren't particularly aimed at our demographic are they? That was the point. 

 

I'm sure she will go down very well with the younger punters like Dua Lipa did. That did absolutely nothing for me either though. I just don't get all that pop stuff with huge sets distracting you from the fact there's not actually a proper band playing most of the time and the singer is only semi singing live as there's an obvious backing track in use.

 

Don't think they should be headlining personally if it's not 100% live but that's just my take.

Love and heartbreak arent universal themes?

Her show will be pretty different to Dua Lipa's.

[NorthernSoul52]

No Tame Impala for one.

One thing I can confirm is that there is definitely a band playing 100% of the time for Olivia Rodrigo. 

[Spindles]

I actually think she's one of the strongest lyricists working today.  Tell me this doesn't appeal to anyone who has experienced the isolation of depression.

Edited to add: As for singing and performing live, have some tiny desk:

Safe to say her lyrics very much resonate with me despite being a straight 32 year old man.

I also thoroughly enjoyed both her vocals and the live band during her 2022 Glastonbury set

[CaledonianGonzo]

People like Kim Deal, Kathleen Hannah and Elvis Costello can big her up, but it's still not enough for the Campaign For Real Rock.

[NorthernSoul52]

Elvis Costello's playing Oliver's Army again, isn't he?

[Pipine]

I don’t know much about Olivia Rodrigo atm but if she’s headlining I will definitely do some back catalogue research and most likely go and see her.  
 

It’s weird to assume that new pop artists only appeal to the younger generations.. I was on the catwalk barrier for Dua Lipa as I loved a lot of her singles and went away thinking it was one of my favourite sets in 27 years of glasto going.  Her music is universal, definitely not aimed at a particular demographic.  
 

Even if music is more directed to a specific demographic, which maybe one of my favourite artists at the moment - Charlie XCX is, I don’t think that should stop people of any age enjoying it.  Good music is good music, end of.  I’ve never felt too old for anything and I’m 51 now..

I know both @kalifire and myself both really enjoyed Dua .... both of us in our 40s .... and my thoughts were similar in my 17 years
