The 1975 are 100% now 

 

I think you'll actually find that it was 100% 49 years ago

Inflation jokes ahoy! 

 

Wonder what was the record for the shortest trio of headline sets in festival history on the Pyramid? None of the three we think will likely push past ninety. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Would be disappointed if The 1975 got less than two hours. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Would honestly imagine ninety-five is the cap.

Can anyone tell me why everyone’s so sure that it’s O-Rod, 1975 and Sam Fender as our three for 2025? Is it based on anything more than them being active, available and at about the right level to do it? Everyone here seems pretty certain it’s those three, but the efestivals website mentions “an act that didn’t quite make it last year” and a “legendary female” so I am feeling like I’ve missed something…

Various bits of info on all three, to varying degrees of reliability. The S*n published an article claiming The 1975 were gonna headline Friday last week, which is almost as good as a TBC usually.

Dua Lipa and SZA both got 1hr45 this year, wouldn't be surprised if The 1975 and Sam Fender get the same. Feel like O Rod would struggle to even get 90mins playing her full discography

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Liv’s concert movie is 1hr40m. With a special guest and maybe a new single in the spring it’d make a tight 90 of wall to wall bangers.

I’d guess she’d bring out at least a few guests Noah Kahan, Lily Allen (again) and potentially more

Could go either way, wouldn’t surprise me if she wanted to ‘prove’ she could do it herself. But yes any number of people she could call on that are likely to be about if not.

Like Robbie Williams wouldn't have been?

 

Many of Rod's big tracks are slow ballads. Good luck trying to hide behind a band with his current voice. Christ on a bike.

 

Oh well, excited to see what they put up against him or go for a lovely final Sunday wander before seeing Fender smash it out the park on the evening!

Rod at least has good songs. Robbie doesn't.

usually the last person to defend Robbie, but Sexed Up and Feel >>>>>> anything Rodney has up his sleeve

This is an outrageous take.

Nah. Straight bangers. Whereas there’s a reason Rod’s setlists are padded out with a shitton of covers these days. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Will happily admit Rock DJ can get in the bin though. 

[Badlands]

Whilst Rod may plumb the depths of Sailing and Sexy, he’s still got loads more in the bag compared to Williams.

RW has nothing close to the likes of Stay With Me, Maggie May or Pool Hall Richard

Robbie wins the funeral song category, although both artists are top contenders!

er... this is not the thread I thought it was 🙂

Stormzy was 75 mins in 2019. Kendrick similar in 22. 1975 can play 2 hours if they want. Olivia's show will have some changes to it anyway. Sam can do an hour 45. Is this the issue with "new" headliners that they must be able to play 3 hours or its not good?

just go check full sets on youtube cause they exist. You can find timings on most major tours. Does it matter that much is the question.

Quality over quantity 

[NorthernSoul52]

Imagine no guests for The 1975, and possibly one apiece for Olivia Rodrigo and Sam Fender.

 

Noah Kahan is the logical shout for the latter if present, though personally, I'd love for it to be Mark Knopfler for a romp through Sultans of Swing.

I recently ranked all 18 pyramid headliners I've seen, for fun. Stormzy came top with his very short set with Arcade Fire and Macca with his 3 hour marathon shortly behind. So I'm not especially sure it matters.
