Regardless of what you think of Coldplay, their size/pull of them is indisputable.

Coldplay are possibly the biggest ticket shifters in the world. Maybe Taylor Swift. But they are top 3 for sure.

well you're wrong. He subbed last time and will be doing stadiums next year. Clearly a headliner.

@Rose-Colored Boy has mentioned stadia too.  When will these be announced?  Not disputing it, just wondering about the roll out.  (I didn't think oasis were big enough to play stadiums in the US but I was obviously wrong, so why doubt that Fender has the pull to play stadiums in the UK.)

Not sure, maybe after the arena run in december? Although I imagine that would be too close to Xmas to announce so maybe the New Year. 

 

It comes from a legit source and apparently Glasto is 50/50 and it might just be stadiums.

From the man himself..

Could be referring to shows at Finsbury Park or something but stadiums seems more likely.

Any reason Taylor Swift no longer being mentioned?

Rodrigo, fender and 1975 would be horrible

Cause she isn't touring. Eras tour is finishing soon and wasn't possible at glasto anyway

Not touring, far bigger than when she was booked originally etc

My commiserations on your username, then. (If it was indeed for this year?)

[Respectfatfrog]

I don't think the festival can win for me, Olivia would be great for my daughter and was very very good on the other, Sam fender harmless feel good factor but would like another album before headlining, the 1975 isn't for me I don't get the hype but that's fine. 

 

I cant think off another 2 headliners that are around that would be realistic Taylor swift and Eminem would be great but cant see it due to finances and eminem just not wanting to do it. 

 

so i have reached a point where I understand the festival cant win and im good with it

Certainly not exciting for me but might find myself at one or more out of curiosity.  But I actually quite like it when I have no absolute must sees so no anxiety about the logistics of how soon to get in place etc.

[NorthernSoul52]

Swift may well come back around down the line - but I could just as easily see her effectively look to stage her own traveling festival at one point.

 

A series of three-night events - the Cruel Summer Circus or something - where she headlines each evening with four different acts on the bill each day. Likely gears each night around a theme to boot.

 

She'd absolutely rake it in.

[NorthernSoul52]

I'm not sure the festival has ever been able to win in some regards. But as we say, always something else going on somewhere on the site. It truly is a magnificent beast.

Because we're talking about 2025 headliners.

[Respectfatfrog]

I'm the first to admit I want to walk away seeing 1 life time act. Paul McCartney, Adele, Stevie wonder, Elton etc etc

agreed mate, the post was more about reaching a certain maturity where I don't expect everything to me perfect for me

[NorthernSoul52]

Depends on the definition of a lifetime act. The festival has had some of the biggest names in the world play - in Coldplay's case, with impressive frequency - but one person's lifetime act is another one's "oh, they're playing? That's nice, dear" choice too.

he will have one, it's coming out in february

[fraybentos1]

Sam Fender is a bigger ticket shifter than the 1975 which is why he will be doing stadiums this year where the 1975 never have

[NorthernSoul52]

I wouldn't be surprised if The 1975 do have a stadium show or two alongside a G headline spot, to be fair. Multiple-night sales for The O2 and AO Arena earlier this year suggest they could handily do Tottenham and Old Trafford Cricket Ground if they wanted.

fair play thats one issue resolved then. 

[NorthernSoul52]

People Watching certainly looks to be tracking for a top-ten finish. Mind you, won't be the first time he's had a song hit the high marks during the festive crash in the singles chart.
