2025 Headliners

[FuzzyDunlop]

O-Rod is nailed on then? 

I would definitely be there for that.

 

Not sure if I have to give in my "proper music" pass up or not?

[Badlands]

Does he still bring Little Stevie with him and play Fingertips?

I could see The Cure as a potential repeat if they want an old-school act in 2028. Would tie in for fifty years.

Or possibly a last ever show like Elton in 2029 on the cards potentially?

Yes, and her pop punk sound will likely be appreciated by the nostalgia crowd.

 

I think either of Fontaines DC or Yungblud fit nicely under her.

I don't see The Cure as thinking of Glastonbury as a need for a last ever gig.

There's history there, but it would require Bob to want to pack it in. I imagine he's more likely to go until he drops, to be a little crude.

To play devils advocate, isn't a 'tight' band also choreographed within a inch of it's life

how about just being really good at what you do. Green Day is such a "tight" band that  at one awards show they threw in an anti nazi song into their medley and nobody had a clue it was gonna happen cause they didnt run through it at soundcheck the day before.  But they had it locked into where they would do it and left the producers dumbfounded.
 

I dont think anyone realizes how good you have to be to even get into a major  artists' backing band. Did nobody see how many people made submissions for Smashing Pumpkins last year?

She's from California?

you didnt seethe tour leg she just did in asia and what she did for her Manilla show did ya. Yeah, part Filipino so its def gonna be a thing that can get raised. Im sure because she doesnt look a certain way its more palatable for people. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

More likely because she doesn't make a big thing of it herself and isn't at all important to her music.

Weird obsession with race amongst our colonial cousins...

Or nobody gives a sh*t. Yeah that will be it.

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, cannot imagine anyone here will give much of a hoot about it. Nobody was busy running up discussions based on Dua Lipa being Albanian now, were they. (Unless I missed that.)

We’re not America, dude. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

For those that got excited by them rehearsing..

[NorthernSoul52]

Aye, didn't think they'd play to be fair. Colin will probably be going around with the Bad Seeds again, won't he?

[Gnomicide]

I didn't think Stevie's shows would be full blown gigs, because they've made out it's due to the election, I thought it would be not quite the full shaboodle. Must slightly improve his chances.

[CaledonianGonzo]

2.5 hour gigs. The man's as fit as a fiddle.

[Gnomicide]

Someone who runs a Harry Styles fan account slid into my DMs the other day. Not one of the monster ones but 30k followers.

 

They were taking about that Sun article that had him headlining, said they don't normally pay much attention to The Sun but the journalist that wrote it does have a good track record with HS stuff, thinks she may have a connection to his management. They also pointed out that Styles' Creative Director recently followed Emily on Instagram. 

 

If it's O Rod and Fred, I can't see HS being number 3 but I thought it was worth mentioning. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Hazza's such a big attention-grabbing name that it'll scarcely matter if the other two acts are also fresh faced.

 

Folk here are seriously underestimating his popularity with the public.

 

I mean I get it cos of the boy band thing, but he's probably the UK's biggest solo act at the minute.

Nearly twice as old as Alex Turner, who I don't think ever does anything above 90 mins. Blimey.

You would really have a clear direction that the festival want to go full on pop with that lineup.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Please- the phrase is Pop Pap

[stuie]

Glastonbury wouldn't be Glastonbury if it had booked 40 years of pop pap.  Not a fan of pop pap. 

 

(Yes to Hazza though)

The Harry Styles story comes out every year.  So i automatically disbelieve it.

 

Probably have to happen at some point though.

Does it really though?  Lots of chat about him being a special guest in 2022 which obviously didn't pan out, but his tourdates in 23 ruled him out early on - and given he was on a well publicised break this year I don't think anyone was really expecting it.

 

TBH it's his last tour being such a monster that makes me doubt him for next year - but if Emily has convinced him to do G25 as a one off then fair play to her.
