Are people still thinking O Rodrigo is doing pyramid while C XCX does other stage? Seems like it should be the other way round. Asking for a friend who wants to see N Young and XCX. 

 

You know O Rod is massive right? She's sold out Hyde Park. XCX can't even sell Victoria Park which is much smaller.

Not doing too many UK dates though. Don’t know much about either of them but the young adults/teenagers in my family who are going to Glastonbury reckon O Rod hasn’t done anything of note for a while whereas C XCX is now more relevant. Other stage seems a bit small for her now.

You're overlooking the fact that, despite selling fewer tickets and fewer records than O-Rod, Charli still the bigger artist.

I refute this (based on publicly available information at least): O-Rod is 1.65m tall, while Charli is only 1.6m tall.

You seem to have neglected the fact that everyone has to be on their knees in the presence of Charli XCX 

That's hilarious !

O Rod is surely bigger than Charli XCX, who I think is only huge within a very specific demographic (18 - 22 year olds?) that the Glastonbury demographic must skew older than

Methinks you people haven't heard of a little thing called Brat Summer.

Is that why she still hasn’t shifted her Lido tickets? 

 

The idea that she’s gonna cause a problem for Other stage when she hasn’t managed to shift 30k tickets is a bit strange.

I think @NorthernSoul52 is trying to MANIFEST Duran Duran! 🤣 Well I'll get back to manifesting Nick Cave. Would be a hilarious wtf is this dude for the O-Rod fans and I would be happy with both 😆

I mean, I'll happily manifest Nick Cave in there! Just assume if he's running solo, the Bad Seeds are out!

I feel I'm missed the chat there. Was there any info? Or is this just a wish and a prayer for everybody?

I don’t think there was any info about Chappell not doing it unless I missed something, but people trying to work out where Pulp might fit if they’re playing. Pulp could be before Neil Young and Chappell still on the Sun

My Duran Duran speculation came from their tour dates, the Chic connection and an apparent softening of the stance on their slot. (Le Bon long basically said it was headline or nothing.)

 

That being said, I cannot find any empirical proof for said stance being reduced. Chappell, it seems, was ticked off in a piece by The S*n, who have of course doubled down on The 1975 as a headliner, so maybe the Sunday figures.

Is she also being dramatically overexaggerated on here? She's "alright".

There's always variations in who would prefer to see what though right? I prefer Muse to Coldplay, but am aware Coldplay sell more tickets.

I’m 51.. can’t name a single O-Rod song but a huge fan of Charli xcx since 2012 when I Love It came out.. Brat is huge.. lots of similarly aged friends are into her.

    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
