O-Rod more of a rock act than any of the 2024 vintage.

Yeah, I'd concur with that, even if her biggest hit is a Paramore knock-off.

Fender, Fred and Rodrigo might fit a 2025 budget and probably doesn't break the bank. 

Christ, that’s like a set of Lattitude headliners

I'll give you Fender but Fred and Rodrigo are only headlining top tier festivals at this point

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fender is the fly in the ointment.  He could scrape in with a couple of real heavyweights to give the top lone some heft.  But without that it looks a little flimsy.

[NorthernSoul52]

See, I don't think Fender looks like the fly next to Fred. Two platinum albums, more than a dozen certified singles. He's not got the international draw like Fred clearly has, but that's not the point of Glastonbury, is it?

Not any more. The Latitude headliner next year is Sting, this year one of them was Duran Duran.

[NorthernSoul52]

I do lose track of all the pies Fred again.. has had his fingers in over the last few years.

 

Ed Sheeran's Bad Habits? That's him.

 

P!nk's Trustfall? That's him.

 

¥$'s Slide? That's him.

Just revisited my pictures and videos from Sam Fender on Pyramid

 

 

in 2022. This one was for my daughter who loves to sing this in the car - I do think he’d bring the party as a headliner

Other than playing some new material, realistically he won't be doing too much different if he tops the bill.

[NorthernSoul52]

You'd assume ninety minutes with at least five or six new tunes.

 

1 - - -

2 Will We Talk?

3 Getting Started

4 Spit of You

5 - - -

6 Dead Boys

7 The Borders

8 Get You Down

9 - - -

10 Spice

11 Howdon Aldi Death Queue

12 Saturday

13 - - -

14 Homesick

15 Hypersonic Missiles

 

16 The Dying Light

17 - - -

18 Seventeen Going Under

Fender is surely a backup at best for next year, headlining ‘27 if maintains consistency.

I like Fender and he was great in 2022 but he really needs to get Howdon Aldi Death Queue out his set on this cycle. 

He'd be a good headliner but I don't see how he can elevate his set to be that much better than 2022 with only one more album.

Sam Fender as a pyramid headliner?

 

Smacks of Mumford in '13 if so

POtential Headliners as Glastonbury Food Stalls

 

O-Rod - Duck Fries, Classic basis, bit of a young twist on the top. Could alienate/confuse the older punter.

 

Fred Again - Overpriced Mac&Cheese. Ostensibly feelgood, bit of comfort food, but is that all there is to it?

 

Sam Fender - A big plate of stodge. Unexciting, bland, but keeps the traditionalists happening. One of those turgid Yorkshire Puddings filled with mash and gravy.

 

Bruce Springsteen - That  burger place in the SE Corner. A classic, but hardly inspiring and sort of wrong place, wrong time.

 

Rihanna - Goan fish curry - Can you afford it? and not as good as it was 10 years ago

 

Stevie Wonder - The crumble stall - a rediscovered old timer, just what you need when you're feeling down, but maybe a bit too sickly sweet.

 

 

Love this breakdown but, I'm trying to think of alternative food stalls for Bruce.

 

What's the most overrated food of all time?

The Smoking Buns place? It is phenomenal, but I'm always there at 2am and never in the mood for a burger 

And why is that, HMM?

Sam Fender adverts spotted on Electronic billboards outside the First Direct arena in Leeds earlier today.

Yeah - for all folk are assuming that this announcement will lock him in it could do nothing of the sort. Doing e.g.narenas in the springtime won't tell us much one way or another.

There are interesting fresh headliners, e.g. Dua Lipa and dull as f**k fresh headliners. Let’s have as many of the former as possible 

I know far more young people and older people, male and female, who go to festivals across the country who much, MUCH prefer Fender as a newer artist to Dua Lipa, or O-Rod. 

 

Funny isn't it, subjectivity? 

 

Sam Fender is a superb artist and will absolutely smash it when he headlines Glastonbury.

You forget that Mumford are sh*t and Sam Fender is not.

Really? I have them at about equal levels of sh*t

No banjos and a lack of Trumpian politics does help Fender a bit for the moment.

Sam Fender is defo a headliner in terms of size

Edited October 15, 2024 by fraybentos1

[NorthernSoul52]

Absolutely a headliner. Not sure where the idea he's the next Mumford and Sons has suddenly sprouted from.
