She's an 'english headline exclusive' which suggests she is playing another english festival not headlining. 

 

 

She could be doing R1 Big weekend? this could be in Wales/Scotland/NI. Doesn't rule out Glasto, but could explain the "english headline sub"

If she was *actually* headlining R&L, they wouldn't allow her to play Glastonbury.

 

She's subbing, they can pretend otherwise but we should be better than that.

It's marketing of course but she's a headliner in R&L terms but yes I imagine she will play before Hozier. Same as their 6 headliner thing from the last few years, essentially 3 heads and 3 subs but they still call it 6 headliners.

 

Semantics anyway, I don't care about R&L but if she plays Glasto I will be ecstatic. Lineup is shaping up to be an all timer.

suppose so, but fairly confident she's subbing Olivia at glasto - that info has been around for a few weeks from a couple people

Has there been any mention of a surprise oasis set? I'm assuming that is satire rather than any rumour to back that up?

 

Only that they've explicitly said they aren't doing any festivals.

I hope so! i'm thinking it'll be either Sabrina or Chappell but not both surely?? if it is then Emily has done very well with sub bookings this year.

I take it this is a prediction/piss take?

A secret set at Glasto would be a hell of a warm-up tbf.

There's nothing whatsoever that could go wrong with warming up in front of 150k people.

Chappell Roan the only one of those bill-toppers at R+L we'll see here. Pyramid sub info seems straight enough.

[balti-pie]

Itd be a bit sh*tty of Oasis to announce a reunion, sell a billion tickets for it, explicitly say theyre not doing festivals, and then their first set together being on a televised festival stage. with a crowd that would be at best 50% thrilled, and 50% walking off to see something else. Cant see it, it knacks up their own gigs.

Hopefully. I'm in Thailand during Leeds fest and was gutted that i'd have to miss her. I imagine she will be even more popular by June, unless she keeps pissing off her fans.

And they are clearly doing the reunion for monetary reasons and Glastonbury would pay them f**k all

They might do the G in 2027 if the reunion lasts long enough. But not this time.

Thank f**k for the fallow year, meaning that they'll have imploded again by the time there's a slot available.

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, I cannot imagine it runs beyond 2026. Still not fully convinced they'll even do that, which would leave mainland Europe in the lurch.

 

My head tells me it's stadiums in Europe along with some big '26 UK gigs - likely Knebworth or the ilk.

 

Then, curtains. (Until the next time.)

[across97]

Carpenter at BST then, means she'll be this side of the pond near Glasto. I imagine she's very likely appear over the weekend. Placement will be interesting, 2 people playing BST this year, one will headline and other wont... Providing O-Rod info is true.

The 1975, Neil Young, Olivia Rodrigo/Chappell Roan....won't someone think of the Gen Xers?

For it to be an all-timer , your headliners need to be on point. The 1975, O-Rod and Neil Young are not on point as a collective (or individually) for that that matter.

[steviewevie]

it's all subjective...right? Not sure I'll be spending much time at pyramid, which is no bad thing.

Paging Pulp...

[Acid_Haze]

Not to burst the whole Chappell Roan bubble but in the past 10 year only 1 Pyramid sub has played Reading & Leeds in the same year. Not to say it's not possible, just not likely. On the other hand multiple Other stage headliners have played Reading & Leeds in the same year.

 

Makes me think she could be up against Neil Young while Charli XCX subs The 1975.
