It seems ages since Wet Leg's first album. It's only actually a couple of years (after googling) but it seems longer for some reason.

They were part of the previous summer’s soundtrack when our overlords let us out to play again after Covid part 1. Think that’s why it feels longer.

Even though the album itself only came out in 2022, they were playing pretty much all of the tracks that became the album at gigs as soon as live music returned in 2021, and that's approximately when the buzz / media attention started as well. So the album arguably was "late" compared to a typical promotional cycle.

 

That makes sense 👍🏻

With the bad publicity Oasis are getting from the ticket sale could they play Glastonbury as a way of making amends to the Great British public?

So many people seem to be willing it into existence as the one that's got away for 2025. No matter how much the signs are that it won't happen.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Why would they say they're not playing except as a bluff?

[CaledonianGonzo]

That's what they want you to think

To be fair, CalGo is taking the piss with it.

 

There are others who really are that dumb though.

Yes, everything goes quiet now, our ticket day passes then next April 1st we get a message ‘remember we said we weren’t headlining Glasto?’ Well we were fibbing!😊😉

Tbf I like the idea of them doing an on-the-day secret set on the Other Stage or something. But yeah, much as a lot of people want them to do it, it ain't happening.

 

I'm less sure who will, mind. Feels like there's a good 5/6 in contention.

Rhianna?

We could just celebrate that finally a dance act has a good chance of headlining the Pyramid?

The Venga bus is coming and everybody's jumping...

Tbf, whenever anyone covers this (Shohawk Duo for example), the whole crowd is absolutely jumping.

Good to know there's a place for an intercity disco where everybody's jumping

All the amazing, ground breaking dance acts that have played at glasto in the last 3 decades...... The Chems, Fatboy, Justice, Underworld, Goldie, Bicep, Leftfield, Orbital, Daft Punk..... a Sasha / Digweed DJ Set.....and everyone is hoping for populist, unoriginal Fred ' flash in the pan poundland Calvin Harris' again to headline. Dance Music for people who know nothing about dance music !

Just shows the slim pickings available to festival bookers these days.... its like getting the Vengaboys or Ultrabeat to headline glasto '97

Gatekeeping must be such fun.

While its definitely too early in 25, I wonder if Glastonbury would consider the reformed Linkin Park as a headliner. 

 

They will almost certainly do a Download first but if the reunion proves popular it might be another act that could enter the shrinking headliner pool.

 

 

Is this referring to glastonbury - confused if so

I thought Download was the one people felt might be at risk of a shrinking headliner pool. Glastonbury isn't at that much risk of a drought yet, right?
