2025 Headliners

[Ayrshire Chris]

Of course it will now never happen but I would have loved AC/DC as a headliner. Despite what reservations some might have it would have been a barnstorming classic.

Probably be one of the all time headliners that gets talked about every year - but will sadly never happen

Seen them enough times in theatres and stadiums to know it would have been spectacular.

They presumably also hoover up a lot of cash, which likely puts them outside the budget that the Other Stage have at their disposal.

 

If Justice could headline West Holts with their production, then so can NIN.

Not if NIN cost 5 times as much

NIN ain’t headlining WH, even if they offered to do it for nowt

Well it barely fit the stage. And in 2017 they had to make WH bigger to even fit their production at that time which wasnt as big as this one. Maybe they should just put them on Other like they shouldve been this whole time. You would never imagine the Chems on WH would you?

The reason they stopped having big productions was because of the cost. Much better to have a reasonably priced ticket and just use some strobes and fog. But it will be interesting to see what they got up their sleeve by going bak to large venues again.

What makes you think they are aiming large venues again?

[somewhat_]

NIN is playing o2 arena, not Glastonbury

See above. What does that indicate to you. 🤦🏻‍♂️

 

 

also, Paramore is likely out. Hayley seems to be looking at a solo tour finally.

Bow down before the ones you serve.......

Ah.... is it looking likely that NIN are playing Glasto, or is this in relation to other potential UK appearances?

It is not looking likely.

Justice headlining West Holts was the best booking and the ultimate vibe.  Both times. 

No reason to suggest they should have been on Other Stage, which is, let's be honest, a bit soulless sometimes.

It was likely just a troll comment to stir up the pot.

We sure there's a possibility of both solo shows and Paramore shows? I know it's a fair bit of workload to prepare for both, but wouldn't be the first time an artist has simultaneously toured two projects at the same time, plus the band themselves did an interview after the Eras Tour saying new Paramore material was being worked on so this would be quite the shift indeed.

The Other Stage is a funny one. Everyone says it's soulless. Hell, I've said it's soulless. Said things like 'I wish X wasn't playing the Other Stage, it'd be better if they were on...'

And yet, I've seen some incredible stuff on there, some of my absolute favourite gigs have been on there.

I doubt it. Its all on Hayley since she is essentially Paramore lol. Well their new record deal wont reflect that finally but thats how it was. If she wants to do her thing, then that all thats happening. Theyll finish whatever theyre doing as a band when its time. As much as they couldve been writing new songs they have their own timeline.

[CharlotteB]

Paramore passed me by. I stopped watching the Kerrang channel just before they arrived 😅

[sime]

Really hope Paramore do play. They would be an umissable act for me.

Am i the only person who thinks it's strange the part about finally getting the chance to play solo shows is striked out...?

The Streets proved that it is anything but soulless. 
 

You just have to be…. Good.

Why is the second paragraph struck through?

We’ve always tried to get as close as possible to the front of the other stage. Further back and it does get souless., folk passing through, food outlets, groups of folk chatting etc are distractions, much worse than all the other main stages.

That's a fair point.

 

Every good act I've seen has been, well, Good

The Other Stage has one of the best atmospheres of any festival stage I've been to. Confidence Man this year, CRJ last year, Foals in 2022 - I could go on. The amount of absolute party sets that place hosts every year is phenomenal
