Why are we so convinced Olivia Rodrigo would headline?

She's one of the biggest artists in the world?

I would say there are not too many acts out there that Glastonbury could realistically get and put on the same day that would be a bigger get than her. She is either a headliner or not playing IMO 

[jonnytee1]

Well I've spent the best part of 1 hour trying to see if i overlooked the 1975 when trying to listen to them the first time around.

 

The answer is no. However, if they were to headline, as i have said, all is not lost as there are about a billion other stages 

 

Also.................Got to get a ticket first

It's looking like she's the biggest of the three headliners.

Thankfully Glastonbury's bar is set above having shite like Metro Boomin, Kid Laroi, Sublime, Fisher, Empire of the Sun, Lil Baby and Odesza on the line below outright headliners.

That's probably one of your best posts. We know that Suprefan will be on here telling us Coachella is the best lineup of the year no matter who is on it so we're just waiting for it really.

Had the misfortune of watching The 1975 on The Pyramid before… never again thanks.

 

Fingers crossed for O-Rod on Saturday. Please!

Empire of the sun are awesome!! I'd rather they headlined over the 3 we look like getting 🤣

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Can fully commit to this thread now the golden ticket is secured. O-Rod subbed by Chappell on Saturday, and then Stevie Wonder or Nicks subbed by Scissor Sisters on Sunday, please and thank you.

I implore any 1975 doubters to watch their Madison Square Garden show from their last tour:

Yeah man they need to get Royal Blood, Wizkid, Two Door Cinema Club, D-Block Europe and Major Lazer in those slots.

Why don't they play Chocolate anymore? Surely up there with their best.

 

I don't think it shows them being in no question of doing it, I think their tour sakes previously show that.

Not kept with the chat here in a while but heard on very good authority that Fred Again is headlining

It makes reasonably frequent appearances even if it’s not a lock at every show these days.

 

I’ve long had a theory that they were waiting to headline Glastonbury to play Antichrist live. Based on absolutely nothing but I’d die if it happened.

They did play it on the first leg of that tour but not on the second. They have been playing it for 12 years so they might feel like giving it a rest for a bit. I want to hear it all the time, personally. Proper banger.

The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Fred again.. would be a banging set of headliners and I’d have a lonely time in my living room watching all three of them each night.

Christ that's an underwhelming trio for me, but would fully understand the rationale if it was them. Would likely see Olivia (even as a middle aged white man who's niece's would be insanely jealous if I did) as she's got some cracking stuff from the little I've heard. Amazing voice and sounds sincere and emotive, lyrically. But the other two do f**k all for me. As we know, all that means is I'd be free to explore the wealth of other acts on show - the best thing about the whole festival, and the very first bit of advice my Glasto-veteran friend gave to me in 2011 when I first went; "don't worry about the headliners or chasing the main acts if you're not actually interested, use that time to explore...".

Skipped out on reading here this week with pre ticket sale anxiety and now the 1975 are in?! Is this from an actual source?

Interesting and I know you get info and are solid so it's not rubbish. The latest info was that Fred pulled out with The 1975 taking over so is this potentials wrong?

It's the song that makes me think this is The 1975. It's kinda that song I remember from a band I'm not bothered about but I wouldn't turn it off.

I think it's likely that if Fred was in The 1975 info is not as real as thought. Unless things have really gone sound there is no reason for The 1975 to have been pulled in if Fred was still in. The really bad outlook would be that Olivia has said no and Fred has been asked to reconsider for her absence. The 1975, Sam and Fred would be the worse set I've seen the festival book.

Yeah I can't disagree that The 1975, Olivia and Fred is poor. But Sam instead of Fred is worse.

[GhostOfMaurice]

After unexpectedly getting a ticket this is my first glance at any sort of rumours.

Interesting.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

new Fender track is the most ‘I’m about to headline Glastonbury’ song since Ed Sheeran released Castle on the Hill. It’s an absolute lock. 

[Euphoricape]

Definitely prefer Fender to 1975 or Fred.

Nothing has ever said "I'm about to headline Glastonbury" less to me than Castle on the bastard Hill... Horses for courses I suppose. 

 

[northernangel]

Id definitely take 1975 over Fender.
