2025 Headliners


Guest

Recommended Posts

As always, some entertainingly mad chat in this thread.

  • is O Rod 99% confirmed?  
  • I don't think Foos/Dirty Dave will be in a rush to play.
  • 1975 feel a wee bit past their peak?  Fender makes more sense, he is peaking.  Can't see it being both.
  • I've no doubt they have asked Stevie Wonder, but does he even play full gigs anymore?  I'm sure he did Hyde Park a few years ago as a "party" with the DJ intermissions.
  • Feels like Madonna has definitively said no, maybe some time ago.
  • Florence's window closed around a decade ago!
  • I could see Kasabian heading Other, surely that's part of why they played Woodsies.
  • There will have been a rethink on going off filling the o2 a few times and having huge Spotify numbers as justification for a headliner.  In saying that, the scheduling/programming on Sunday 2023 was of course a baffling car crash and set SZA up to fail.

In order:

 

+ Olivia Rodrigo is not confirmed by any stretch - nobody is until the official announcement - but all signs and chat point to it.

+ I doubt Foo Fighters will be there, though I don't think Dave's affair will torpedo their long-term relationship with the festival. A credible shout for after the fallow year if they want.

+ The 1975 effectively rebounded from their commercial low with their last record, and have two sold-out arena tours in back-to-back years, plus a bunch of certified singles. They're possibly not at the absolute peak anymore, but they're big enough.

+ Stevie Wonder just did a full US tour, though how much of it relied on special guests or DJ segments, I cannot tell you. 

+ Madonna seemed to bail on this year, but whether that was with a hard no for the future, we don't know.

+ Florence + The Machine did sell out their last UK tour pretty quickly, and the record did decent numbers. But it would feel lower than anyone else they appear to have.

+ Kasabian would fit for the Other stage, especially as counter-programming to Rodrigo.

+ I'm not necessarily sure there will be an outright dismissal of such sales, but there will likely be some further consideration for where an act's overall figures fall in the landscape of a Glastonbury audience. SZA was in a rock and a hard place too; Dua was already signed for the Friday, and she had her own BST show on the Saturday.

Wasn't there word that Kasabian would be somewhere on the bill this year, off the back of their Woodsies slot last year?

 

*I may have imagined that* 

Don't recall anything other than rumours. For what it's worth I reckon they'll be playing. Definitely not Pyramid headliners.

west holts would be great!!!!

Yeah definitely up for that. 
 

Was watching their 2005 set on YouTube earlier and during Lauren Laverne’s introduction she talks with surprise about there being a lot of flags in the crowd ! How far we’ve come.

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.

I reckon they will announce some stadiums off the back of glasto ala Dua Lipa

 

maybe something like trnsmt as well this year

Aye, absolutely. Feels very feasible.

 

Though I will say, when it came to both of those arena runs, the only shows that didn't seem to shift within the first few days completely were the ones in Scotland.

if you were guaranteed a ticket but not allowed to bring a flag, would you do it. ( that goes for everyone )

The flag epidemic is becoming a right pain, it’s even starting to invade WH, most of them are shite anyway. Should be banned. So yet again I’m with you, great idea.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
