Would Taylor showing up be completely ridiculous, I mean I do not think she will do a headline slot -  But could she show up during O-Rod set?  

 

Yes, it's plausible that - having been booked for 2020, and now finally having a break after a marathon several years of recording and touring - she goes to the festival either to see what all the fuss is about or to watch / support a friend. Still probably a long shot though.

I'm not sure that tells us much tbh.

 

Don't think it's something that the bookers (especially not on the Glastonbury side) are going to take into account, or at least not consider a major obstacle, and therefore trying to draw correlation doesn't work. Ultimately the two festivals are 5,000+ miles apart, and with mostly different audiences.

That's what I mean. There's not a real history of correlation.

If I were to guess, I'd have to say 

 

Charli XCX 

Olivia Rodrigo

Muse 

 

I think they'll get Muse in as the 'safe' bet. Their history with the festival probably buys them at least one more headline appearance, despite their waning popularity. 

 

Would love to see Biffy headline at least Other. They absolutely tore up Pyramid when I saw them in 2017. 

 

Can't see them legging Charli XCX up to headline this time around unless all of Fred again, Sam Fender and The 1975 have turned it down. Know it is another female headliner in a pool where the festival are determined to do better, but she's a very strong sub or Other bill-topper to me as it stands.

 

But Biffy Clyro would be excellent counter-booking if she did headline.

I personally think Charli is booked as Pyramid sub/Other headline, and will step up to headline if someone falls through. She's got UK shows the week before Glasto so if 100% in the frame imo.

 

If I were Emily Eavis, I'd book her to headline the Friday. Strike whilst the iron is hot. The likes of Olivia, Fender, 1975 don't look as though they'll decline in popularity any time soon. I can't say I'd say the same for Charli, though I hope she just gets bigger because her career speaks for itself.

Out of curiosity. Have we ever had 2 people in a relationship headline the pyramid and other at the same time? Isn't she dating someone in the 1975?

 

Utter power couple.

Likely top five ever 

 

Charli XCX? 

Am I following the thread right? 

 

I last saw her play to a mostly disinterested field at All Points East in 2022.  What happened to make her a top 5 pyramid headliner? 🙂

brat, I guess. By some margin her most commercially successful album, and her most critically acclaimed.

 

But I think we'll have a better handle on what a Charli XCX live show looks like come next week, given the US tour was very much a collaborative affair.

 

For me, she's the rung below right now. An Other bill-topper, a Pyramid sub, the lower half of a R+L co-headliner. It's not to say that she doesn't step further up. Maintain the hype and momentum through the fallow year, I can buy her as a credible 2027 option.

I don't agree with the top 5 thing but she has become gigantic off the back of Brat. Hype and marketing.

Saw Charli headline glasto in 2022 and it was a 10/10 show.

360 is among my tunes of the year so far. Just bubblegum gone dirty.

 

I will say that a lot of the hype for CXCX seems to be her qualities as a lyricist. I think it's more hit-and-miss there - she's very postmodern, in that The 1975 way, but it also can leave it feeling pretty faux-arch to a point.

Being under the tent probably helped a bit there. Not dismissing it being a full-marks affair! But imagine it probably helped give it a quote-unquote "clubby" feel.

One thing it was not though, is packed out (probably felt it at the front, but was not further back, we walked in easily a few songs in). I haven't listened to one song from this new album, and would be elsewhere, but I think she's an obvious choice to headline based on this past year

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
