2025 Headliners

[fraybentos1]

has the other stage ever been shut off? only heard of it at park and woodsies which are way smaller. Capacity must be like 50k at least and it isn't an enclosed space

Who? I've not heard of that.

Is technically possible to close the entire Other field the way that The Glade backs out ontonit?

did they? 

 

there's so many entrances I can't see how that's possible.  all along the railway line, the glade, left field, silver hayes, through oxlyers tents...

people were being directed in certain ways weren’t they ? Maybe I imagined it but there was crowd management in place with bins in certain places being used

I'm not sure mate, I wasn't there... just wondered if it was practicable with so many ways in and out.

I think you hear a lot about charli on socials as those who are into her are really vocal about it - but honestly there will be a ton of people who arent really bothered as well. I would stop short of saying she has cross generational appeal. 
 

When was the last time any headliner on a main stage (aside from elton) had any major crowd issues? It doesnt really happen. It wont for her either.

 

i would liken it to a chemical bros other headline set. Really busy and intense but nothing dangerous.

They shut off the upper path and re-routed you back the way you came.

We were top right hand side of the field, there were stewards all done the track (as far as we could see anyway) who were stopping people come in to the field, so there was no way in from that side at least.

I'd have assumed you would have parsed some of the more speculatively biased commentary out, but then, perhaps not. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Going five solo, a dozen electric for Young by the way. Shortest headline set purely on song count but longest in principle.

Modern journalism, ladies and gentlemen.

No The 1975 at the Big Weekend then. 

 

I saw a claim on social media that Rodrigo is headlining more festivals then any other act has done in a calendar year. Surely nonsense, right?

It will be the second biggest crowd of the weekend after Rod...

Clearly, it was meant to be "third biggest after Charli and Rod"

Maybe the 1975 are Glastonbury as a one off

[Guest]

So far she will be headlining 17 festivals in 2025. A lot indeed, but no idea if it is a record   

[FKA SOSOTWS]

Also likely Lollapalooza Chicago which is not yet announced.

Nope. 

Rod will all likely have the biggest crowd as legends often have second biggest at least and have topped the lot. There is also a lot of competition for headliners on Saturday and Sunday. 

1975 have a pretty clear run. It won't be Elton-esque, but it will be VERY healthy.

If Doechii hadn't turned up, I'd say that was a possibility. Thought about writing that.

You are all underestimating ORod!
