It's not going to please people outside of the female pop world though on the whole is it? It would be for a set of 3 probably my ideal females 3 but I don't think I'm in a minority of people that would say where is the alternative options. Male stadium acts have a broader range. 

They’re very very different artists in different genres

Not sure how legitimate this is, but it’s going round on tick tok, but this might count him out.

Difficult to see him coming across to Europe twice with his huge touring production:  the giant statue of a bum that moons the audience, the huge inflatable wife that he attacks with a chainsaw, etc

What a horrendous typefont.

 

The fact he's active there might put him in the conversation for 2026 at R+L though.

Baffing image.  What there's two of him now?  Could one of the Eminem whisperers please decode the meaning of this arcane symbolism?

Touring with a hologram projection of David Guest?

Good lord, that's terrifying.

I did an image search as an off the cuff gag.  Then found that one and did several takes.

Someone in our regular crew gets regular heat for being a D. Guest lookalike.   Doubtless we'll seize this opportunity for further roasting.

The concept of his latest album revolved around Eminem trying to kill off his alter ego Slim Shady.

He's not doing a very good job then if David Guest has already killed him, is he.

There can be only one.

Are we thinking Olivia Rodrigo and Fred Again are the most two likely now then? If so I’d imagine it’ll have to be someone like Stevie Wonder alongside those two unless Emily wants two female headliners again.

There is still no contact from O-Rod over the Manchester gigs - checked in with a friend who is holding tickets -  I still think that if she is planning to do them (and is headlining Glastonbury)  - They will be the same week 

 

 

It would be too obvious to drop these gig dates now - so I could imagine she has been hold the back until after ticket sales day -  Obviously some of her fans who have tickets are getting al ittle pissed of at it now - so She can not hold on too much longer 

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Only so long you can keep them in suspense, though she has the caveat that it isn't exactly her fault on this one.

 

It is a shame that Billy Joel is pretty much out given he likes his big breaks between shows and says those are his only confirmed dates.

The fact these haven’t been cancelled and refunded tends to lead to the fact she will play/be touring next year. As you’ve mentioned, the same week would make sense. Almost like warm up shows for it.

It's possible - but if she's doing e.g. Coachella and the G it'll be a different set-up to the Guts tour - so dunno if what she'll be using for the festival's can also be used for the indoor gigs.

Be interesting to see how different the sets are because apart from the bit where she was swung out over the crowd the GUTS Tour stage would translate perfectly to a festival

I think it's that set in I wouldn't bet against it. If Fred wasn't lined up I don't think he does that secret set. Obviously the Glastonbury on sale date is going to be November again and that'll be sold out before the dates are announced. It's not like they require buying.

 

I don't think they'll go for Stevie first given health issues but I think Rihanna is still a shocker. Terrible set of tops for but that's me. Reason that's a bit more of an issue is going my previous years and this year there isn't many options for me on other stages. I am looking for Eric to headline Arcadia or something again though.

Big screens, a walkway, dancers doing a lot of the work at times. Nothing remarkable.

Not impossible I guess. Dunno if she's quite stadium / Heaton Park level at this point in her career though, so would need to be a sort of medium sized one.  And obviously a pisser for folk with the Coop tickets.
