Did not catch Rodrigo on the box and only saw snippets, but everybody on here raved about it for months afterwards. Seemed written in the stars then - don't think I've ever seen this forum so united.


She went hugely viral for the Lily Allen thing. Two of my friends went and reckoned it to be up there with anything they’ve seen in 6 Glastonbury’s each. It should also be noted that early last year she did an interview for (IIRC) Vogue in the states and when asked for her favourite memory of playing live she said ‘Glastonbury.’ She was also there soaking it up the day before. Me and Mrs.MEGABOWL saw her in Glasgow this year and it was absolutely headline standard.

 

Fender seemed to ‘get it’ too. He had to stop for a couple of minutes as he was getting a bit choked up and was then spotted out and about in various states of disrepair into the early hours of Saturday morning.

 

The 1975….Im not a fan but saw a bit of them at TRNSMT last year and they’re much better live than on record, the crowd was loving it. I won’t be watching but let’s face it the only surprise in them headlining is it hasn’t happened before.

 

Theres a bit of doubt because there’s no Macca/Elton gig there but it’s a solid set of headliners. All first timers but all having played before. If Fenders stadium gigs sell out and he blows up like the industry seems to be pushing for that’ll be the night he deals his ascent and it’ll look like Glastonbury have judged it just right.

In my view, having seen them over 15 times going back to 1992, The Prodigy should be on the Pyramid, but they wont be. They would be phenomenal on the Other stage though. 

 

But isn't their main guy like, dead?

She's obviously a lock, but if Rodrigo was not on the scene and it was The 1975 / Lady Gaga / Sam Fender, you'd hear no complaints from me. Three terrific live acts, with the tunes to back 'em up.


in the same respect I’d take Gaga, O’Rod and any other over Sam fender and 1975

 

We will all have our fave acts, bands, music but it’s why glasto is so great - there are literally over 100 other stages to go to

The prodigy 100% need to be on in the dark - they won’t be headlining the pyramid so that leaves the other or west holts however west holts might be too small for a band like the prodigy. 
 

I was at the other stage last time they headlined on that stage and it was a great crowd.

Nah 

 

Really think people are starting to overthink this now. All three are massive, and massive with the general public at that. 

 

Massive seems over the top for them imo. If you asked the British public who are the biggest musicians are, I don't think many would list any of Fender, 1975 or Rodrigo in their top 5.

 

They're all big though, but none of them has a wow factor like John, McCartney etc. Of course, there aren't many of those and getting one every year is impossible. I don't think anyone will look back on the 2025 headliners and say 'wow what a year'. Solid but unspectacular.

Ahead of being announced, I remember Ed Sheeran doing an interview where hes said he knew this was going to be his biggest year, that he wouldn't be able to maintain or top it.

I feel that this will be the same for Sam Fender next year, A massive year for him that he may struggle to better, the way the hype is going. I think Glasto will have dropped a massive bollock if they don't have him as a headliner.

The only bigger guitar act they could have had was Oasis and thats not happening, so ...

Fender is primed to be a very big deal, as they say, in 2025.

 

It's a clanger if he's not booked and they haven't got two absolute slam dunks alongside Olivia Rodrigo up top, I'd argue. But I think the likelihood of that is slim to none.

Booking Fender for is kinda like if I have a ticket or not lol. Currently they can book him lol. For me it's not a case of he has to or not, it's fairly clear that if it's not this year he could be held back until like 27 and I doubt his star will have waned. Having Fender and Radiohead on the same top line though would be insufferable.

I cannot tell if that means they should book him because you don't have a ticket or not.

Haha yeah lol. If I get one in the resale then he can move along haha. Going by this clashfinder finder though with Biffy opposite he can stay haha, as long as Basement Jaxx don't play WHs same night which is obviously going to happy lol.

There's no obligation to book Fender. But right now, it feels like he is going to be everywhere.

 

He might be everywhere in 2027! He might be even bigger! Or he might be hibernating somewhere in darkest Berwick-upon-Tweed and no longer carrying the cultural heft he once had.

 

Two years is a long time in music. Strike while the iron is hot - he's at the level now, and I think that unless they have some outright bona-fide superstars in the mix to take top spot, Glastonbury would be a bit off the beat to not think about him topping the Pyramid.

    • 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
