[CaledonianGonzo]

Two hours of Eminem broadcast into the nation's living rooms on a Saturday night rapping about his Big Weenie and waving a chainsaw.

I think  I enjoyed them twenty years ago, suffice to say I would likely have  overindulged beforehand 

 

Overindulging can be a right pain. I don't remember any of Pearl Jam from Reading back in 2006. All I know when I watch it back on YouTube, I'm watching from the back eating a Chinese, totally spangled taking absolutely nothing in.

If it is Marshall Mathers and Fred then they'll likely be going after some sort of rock act for the third slot.

 

Christ. It really does need to be Bruce.

Aside from that, one of the main reasons that the festival is able to attract big name headliners for a fraction of their typical fee is usually because of the TV coverage - the act gets a free 2 hour commercial on the BBC, and some pretty good looking footage which goes worldwide (even SZA, with a disastrous crowd size, the coverage looks ok having been shot and edited carefully). Oasis would be no exception to this - if they do play in 2027 or some other future festival, you can bet they'll want as much coverage out of it as possible.

 

Do they need it?  Haven't played for 16 years, haven't put out any decent music for about 25-27 years and STILL the hype is incredible.  The fact that they've decided to do this now is almost certainly down to the fact that they've seen how much big acts are making on tours these days and seen the size of some of the "residencies" the likes of Swift etc. have been doing and want to compete.  30 years since DM gives them to excuse to both cash in and massage their huge egos.  Festival appearances - and G especially - doesn't fit with that.

O-Rod has guitars. Could be Fender if they’ve got Eminem in for the nostalgia crowd.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The Eminem / Fred Again... / Sam Fender year is it.

 

Where's that Wicker Man gif?

They very easily could.....they can only play the cards they have.

In terms of female headliner options, who is touring and a potential for next year?

 

Is it just O Rod so far?

Still waiting on any 2025 tour dates to even get rumoured.

 

The only rumours that have surfaced are........that she's heading back to the studio.

Alright so then it's gonna be 

 

Fri: Rhianna

Sat: Eminem

Sun: Fred

 

Two spring chickens and... Fred

Two oldies acts and a dance act would definitely lead to some discussion 😂

[fraybentos1]

O Rod, Eminem, Fred or Sam Fender

[foolee]

Fred Again, Olivia Rodrigo & Eminem would be massive and incredible

The main thing is she has 2 Manchester dates that have not been cancelled or rescheduled yet.

Eminem will not headline glastonbury. his new albums are awful. his set list will prob be bloated with alot of shite. god no.

Fri: Fred
Sat: O Rod / Gaga / Rhianna

There's more intel on Eminem than there is on someone like Blur.

Blur will be back in another 7 or 8 years I have no doubt. But they won't be around 3 summers in a row.

I agree that he's basically the worst possible booking the festival could make.

 

But unfortunately, we can't rule him out quite that easily.

[nikkic]

What’s the actual info on Eminem?

As i said they called it - and this is the 2025 headliners thread!

 

I'm sure they will be back too

I was speaking to someone who is quite heavily involved in BST this weekend and she said the rumours in her circles are that Stevie Wonder is headlining. I mentioned about his ill health and how he was rumoured for 2024 and dropped out, and she said that that was all booked in and that he had to drop out, but is now recovering and should be ready for 2025. Take that for what it's worth - I can't see it personally but she seemed quite convinced.
