The fact she is rearranging this at all heavily suggests she's doing Glasto. If it's in JUne it's obviously a lock but if it early 2025 then who knows. It's a long was to come just for 2 shows when her only 2025 dates are in SOuth America so far. It's good of her to even do it considering it was the venue's fault she couldn't play.

As she's doing Lollapalooza in Chile and Argentina in March, I'm wondering if these arena ones will be around then, perhaps with a couple of other additional dates around the country to make it more worthwhile to bring the entire arena setup over, followed by outdoor dates like BST/Glastonbury/Werchter etc in June/July? Either way, I think we're going to try to pick up some of the dropped tickets for the Co-op shows!

 

Or we could be getting a full tour announcement for the outdoor dates next week, with these around it

Well, they did book GnR, and apart from the David Guest thing, they all equally apply.

Exactly 

 

We could dig up plenty on a lot of those of have previously played

It'd be a great bit if The Post turns out to be BS.

People are happy enough to go see him and his discriminatory language and misogyny.  I can't understand why people like this sh*t. 

 

But does Eminem still use slurs in his songs when performing?

If he does I've no idea why as Will Smith don't have to cuss in a rap to sell records

I think it's worth keeping in reserve just in case everything in it turns out to be wrong.

 

... though admittedly Oasis not playing Glastonbury was in there and that's a given at this point given Oasis have gone "Nah" for doing it for this year at least, maybe even full stop.

Nah plz leave it, I do think it sounds reasonable, but it's just that any one of us could have written something like that with an alt account for the lulz.

That's the thing. It might well turn out to be "right", but that doesn't necessarily prove anything given most of it was what were already knew / expected, and the stuff that wasn't probably can't ever be proven either way.

 

Still find it comical people are taking it seriously.

The Festival acknowledges that booking SZA was viewed as a mistake by many and is keen to learn from the small crowd, Contact has been made with her team post festival and the bookers are actually keen for SZA to return to the farm in the future although no actual plans are put in place at this point, the team don’t want SZA legacy with the festival to be perceived as a negative one. They will follow her career closely and it may be 10 or more years when she returns and as to what slot she occupies will entirely depend on career trajectory. 

 

There was emergency talk when Madonna pulled out about if Olivia Rodrigo could step in to take over and this would have been the festivals first choice, prior to speaking to Stevie Wonder who was at one point set to take over however health concerns meant that this was short lived due to health concerns.  However Olivia and her team wanted more time to prepare for a headline slot which has for some time been discussed and at time of writing has been agreed for the Friday headliner slot for 2025.  Although a young artist the booking team are more confident of her success due to her previous appearance at the festival being a success.  

 

The festival team has agreed that the best way to introduce big artists from the US that have quickly grown in popularity is by first pitching them in an afternoon slot on the Pyramid or Other prior to them headlining this was the mode used for Billie Eilish and is why the festival does not consider Olivia Rodrigo to be a risk. For this reason talks with breakout artists such as Chappell Roan or Sabrina Carpenter will be based around a festival debut appearance in an afternoon slot to gauge their success with Glastonbury crowds and not rushing them into a big slot, too early. 

 

The festival has not been in contact with Taylor Swift about headlining at anypoint since the festival cancellation this is not out of any negativity between the two teams but it's just not a possibility for Taylor in the immediate future, The Glastonbury team are hopeful that they can agree a lower than normal & cut with team Swift as her extremely high current fees would be out of reach for the festival and its thought that Taylor would still like to make the festival appearance once her current roadmap is cleared. 

 

Fred Again will headline Saturday at Glastonbury 2025, Prominent members of the Glastonbury booking team were on site at Reading festival to observe his show and are confident that he will be able to entertain a Pyramid crowd, the team is closely monitoring the growth in popularity of electronic music and will be using Fred Again’s headline set to establish if there may be future dance headliners on the Pyramid although at this point no names are mentioned. 

 

Oasis team have been non committal on any headline slot at Glastonbury in the coming years while completely ruling out 2025, there does not seem to be much interest in returning to the festival as the tour is mostly financial motivated and any benefits of playing Glastonbury such as increased streaming revenue has already been achieved by the reunion. However the answer is not yet officially no to a Glastonbury appearance at some point. 

 

From Pulp Jarvis Cocker specifically remains close to the festival booking team as an advisor on other musical acts but seemingly has ruled out any Pulp show on the farm. Pulp reunion has been enjoyed by the band a lot and they have prolonged the comeback longer than originally planned though they think there last show at Glastonbury is the one they want to be remembered for and so will most likely not play the festival again, though Jarvis will appear in some format to be determined at next year's festival. 

 

Rihanna is the booking team's strong leader to play the Sunday night headliner slot, the thinking after early departures last year they want the most prominent headline act to play the Sunday headliner slot this year and with two relatively new acts this will hopefully be Rihanna.  She has been on the festivals radar for many years and it was previously though financials might be a stumbling block it now appears that Rihanna is perhaps thinking of putting a lid on her musical career for good and wants to tick a last few boxes before an early retirement to focus on other ventures which includes an appearance at Glastonbury, She was very close to appearing at Glastonbury 2023 and remains keen.  

 

It's considered Stevie Wonder is considered as a good plan B to Rihanna though lingering health concerns last around if he could commit to such long shows again in the future.

 

Eminem is not a serious contender to headline despite media speculation, the booking team have discussed in the past and existing concerns remain in place. 

 

Lady Gaga is a name the festival would like to get, however her plans are not settling in as reasonable a time scale as the festival needs to lock in a headliner for next year. It looks like it's a no for 2025 however she remains a preferred target for future festivals. 

 

Sam Fender not on the booking teams radar for 2025, Sam is considered a headliner but with Olivia Rodrigo and Fred Again in the other two slots the festival would like to pursue more experienced targets, It seems Sam Fenders team would be prepared to consider a lessor slot on the farm but the festival team are drawn more towards him headline in 2027 or 2028. 

 

Bruce Springsteen content with his one headline appearance, has no plans to play again at this point. 

 

Little Simz sub headline slot was very positively received and the booking team are keen for her to be considered for a Pyramid Headline slot for a festival after the fallow year, though no formal talks have taken place.

 

IDLES after the other stage headline slot the festival booking team are keen to think a bit differently about how they size acts for stages - the local hero status of the band meaning they can perhaps take a larger slot than perhaps there current popularity suggests, however the festival team would prefer them to have headlined at Reading or Download prior to any serious consideration for a Pyramid headline slot. 

 

Kings Of Leon were a possibility of appearing last year however talks proved unfruitful and probably not likely to be seen at the festival again. 

 

Away from headliners at the festival the popularity of the Sugarbabes recent appearances has not gone unnoticed and the possibility of a regular Pop nostalgia slot has been discussed the key problems with this are about getting acts that are a consistent level of popularity likely to be trialed in 2025 with B*witched lined up to test.

Haha so much bollocks here it's funny. It is quite obviously someone who frequents this forum and offers absolutely nothing that hasn't already been discussed and verified previously 🤣🤣

 

In fact has anyone asked an AI bot to read the forums and make a post?? Haha

Still think the post is a bit dumb even though it's probably right about the headliners.
