She’s been ruled out hasn’t she ? 

Neither has Robbie Williams but people felt moved to say it's never gonna f**king happen.

Do they even need help creating rumours on who's playing so it sells tickets? It's already one of the most oversaturated things that people request tickets for.

 

The festival didn't create this rumour to sell tickets.

 

As incident says, a newspaper has created it to generate page clicks.

Olivia Rodrigo / AC/DC / Sam Fender.

And like a lot of the nonsense printed in the media, people lap it up. Actually, I don't think the "story" has circulated far enough for it to have any impact on this week's sale but it's a fair discussion. 

 

How great would it be if they had managed to persuade her for 2025 though? I don't think I'd be there but it would be seismic for the festival.

Well it would be unexpected.

Minor update from my end:

 

Nothing more on Stevie at this point, besides the bit of into I did get.

 

As for the other name I had for the Saturday - it turns out I was on the end of a well thought out wind up. I won't go into detail, so that can be discarded.

 

Personally, (based on nothing but guesswork) I'd still back Fred to be the third; but it's nothing more than a guess at this point.

Thanks! 3rd alongside Fender and O-Rod or O-Rod and someone else? I’m losing track (sorry).

When I say third, I'm talking Rodrigo, Stevie + one more, only going off what I've had thus far.

 

To my knowledge Fender is just based on what's been announced for him so far, unless I've missed some other info?

Nice one.

 

Rihanna, Olivia, Fender

Nick Cave, Paramore, Charli 

 

Has been heard elsewhere. That's quite grim if so.

Surely Paramore wouldn't sub Olivia after their situation on Good 4 U? And being so close to Taylor.

What’s been heard elsewhere - 
That these are the 3 headliners or these are the 3 subs? 
Or other stage headliners? 

[mufcok]

Out of interest, can someone fill in the below gaps for me:

 

What's the Rhianna speculation based on? Seems she's always linked.

 

Am I right in saying Stevie was in the mix at one point last year but it died off, for a specific reason? (I have illness in my head)

Stevie was apparently booked after Madonna pulled out. He then became ill, then cancelled  - leading to Sza replacing him. All allegedly, mind.

Basically this. 

[mufcok]

Yeah thought that was the case. Guess that adds to the rumour for this year then

[EthelBailey]

@mufcok out of curiosity, who was the headliner you were lead to be believe was booked before it turned out to be a load of rubbish….?

Haha, not now. May tell the story when the dust has settled. Stitched up like a kipper.

 

On reflection, I can't believe I bought the evidence

Maybe Paramore against one of the other two then?

Apparently according to discord, kaiser chiefs are now subbing instead of paramore. And jlo is now Sunday legend because morrissey pulled out and she is doing bst.

K2SO had info about ‘nuclear tier female pop act touring, and another account on here said Rihanna was on tour

The discord is creating it's own reality huh.
