[steviewevie]

Actually Nick Cave on the Sunday...that would be a nice send off.

I missed out on 2024 tickets and when the headliners were out I thought 'dodged a bullet with that one' to somehow end up at a Glasto with (for me) even worse headliners.

To be honest none of these are standout for me. Last visit to the farm was 2017 which I thought was much more of a wow factor (Ed was at his height right then)

Biffy Clyro would do me nicely as a Sunday headliner and active in Europe the week before 🤞

Apparently, according to the other place beginning with a d (wink wink), my bloody valentine were supposed to headline the other stage on the Friday but for whatever reason, have since dropped out so yungblud is now replacing them.

Downgrade of the century, and that is with absolutely no disrespect intended for Mr Blud.

[NorthernSoul52]

But fortunately cobblers.

For my tastes that is pretty shocking. Wouldn't watch any of them.

TBH don’t know much about LC
 

hoping for the likes of the prodigy, biffy, QOTSA, Courteeners. Pulp, Basement jaxx, FBS, chase and status to be headlining a stage

Prodigy headlining other stage Sunday and Basement jaxx headlining west holts(Saturday?) are strong rumours.

[NorthernSoul52]

It's an omen, they might even say.

The 1975 - dull, Neil Young - fantastic but not a party, so no as a headliner, O Rod - again not a party, so no. 
 

Loyle Carner - heard him live- dull, Charli - will be a party, so possible yes depending on who’s on elsewhere 

[Wildglastotheo]

Neil Young as a headliner feels like a dodgy choice to me - that might be quite a small crowd… ?

[NorthernSoul52]

Conversely feel The 1975 have more than their share of party starters. Love Me, It's Not Living (If It's Not With You), Happiness and The Sound all very dance-able tunes.

Agree, he’s a late afternoon/early evening act

O-Rod will be a party.

Is there an attendee threshold of what we would consider to be a small crowd for a Pyramid headliner, based on precedents from prior years? SZA excluded, obviously.

MBV are more at JPT sub or Park headline level, surely.

i think they were likely trying to make sure the PA wouldnt blow by having them on Other. Anywhere else would be a complete disservice.

I do agree that you want your headliner to put on a party. So much as I love Neil Young, and he'll surely be the greatest artist playing the festival next year, if he's headlining and he's up against, say, Ezra Collective, he might lose. It's also why I think Beth Gibbons or Laura Marling would be wasted at the top of the bill, on any stage, though they're both absolutely great. 

 

I'm still hoping Pulp or Massive Attack might turn up, though there seems no sign of it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Massive Attack don't exactly throw a party either - and while I agree it's usually nice to end the night with a bang, limiting headline sets to that and that only is self-defeating.

It’s obviously very dependent upon musical tastes, but I think ending the night with a party is fairly easy if you look outside the main 5 stages. 
 

Always something going off with Arcadia, IICON etc

Prodigy would be the one to fill that gap. 

(I hope).

Little finds are always the best.

 

 

Sasha & John Digweed...

 

[steviewevie]

Personally I don't want a party, I just want something decent to listen to and watch.....so I'm going to just go with the flow because there are no must sees for me so far and that's ok.

If he's on the Sunday then there is a real danger of a very small crowd imo. Also depends on who he's up against of course, but I agree. He is nowhere close to a 'must see' like Elton John or Paul McCartney and has minimal crossover appeal with the youngsters. 

 

Thank God Glasto is huge and there's always something or someone to go see.
