Yes, that would happen if you take all the current rumours and expectations, and sum them up with nothing new of substance.

 

Sorry - nothing new of substance apart from, amusingly, specifying "Friday" for O-Rod, which now appears to be wrong.

It does, what I meant to add is though we obviously don't know how long that post was ago and what can change. Like Liv may have been signed up for ages and then BST offer etc. Inevitably the main thing is getting the headliners right in whatever order. I would initially said with Rihanna they won't put her and live day to day but Fred on reflection Friday makes more sense. I think the Saturday crowd watching on the prime slot at home with warm much more to a slot from Liv or someone else.

 

Also I did say apart from specifically where they play. In fairness too, mcfcok said Liv was playing but only he believed it was Friday.

The Post contained a clear, strident and subsequently confirmed bursting of The Boss Bubble.

Yes, as we'd already long since known was coming. The only dissent on that would have been people working on a dream that don't come true.

So here's a bullet point list of what was covered. By my reckoning, it can be split into 4 groups - though some things should really span more than one category:

 

Stuff that was already confirmed / reported / expected / assumed:
- O-Rod + Fred Again to headline 2025
- Springsteen + Swift not playing in the near future
- Pulp + Oasis not playing 2025
- Jarvis to be there in some description
- Madonna + Stevie Wonder fell through for 2024

 

Stuff that's vague or predictable enough to be likely meaningless:
- Chappell Roan + Sabrina Carpenter not headlining in the short term / more likely lower down
- SZA + Oasis may or may not return eventually
- Simz may or may not headline 2027
- Lady Gaga + Sam Fender not to headline 2025 but are desired long term
- Idles only headlining the Pyramid if they get bigger

 

Stuff that we'll probably never know with confidence:
- KoL were possible for 2024 but unlikely going forward
- Stevie Wonder backup option for 2025 headline
- No interest in Eminem

 

Stuff that was arguably new and determinable:
- Rihanna likely to headline
- The day splits: O-Rod Friday / Fred Again Saturday / Rihanna Sunday
- B*Witched to play 2025

 

So unless something very unexpected happens, by my count there's only 3 things that can fairly be used to judge how accurate it ends up being. Right now the current info is that at least one of those 3 things (the headline day splits) is wrong.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Everything depends on B*Witched - and not for the first or the last time.

The Post wisely managed to pepper in some caveats about ongoing discussions etc. that could be used to claim accuracy at the time of posting even if it doesn’t end up happening.

I'd disagree we had any confirmation that Bruce wasn't interested again.

 

I'd also disagree even more so we had any idea Pulp would not play again amd feel their slot is done.

 

I'd disagree on the Little Simz part, it was more described as she's being viewed as a future headliner but no 👍 on what year as such.

Well, we'll find out soon enough I'm sure.

We'd long since (several weeks beforehand) had near enough certainty that he wasn't playing in 2025, due to dates being lined up elsewhere that would rule him out (the expected show on the 27th changed city, but there was always something thought to be pencilled in for that day). And if he's not interested in 2024 or 2025, when he was active, in the approximate area, and could have made himself available, then it's fairly safe to assume Glastonbury isn't high on the agenda. That was as safe a statement as saying "there will be weather".

There had already been suggestions that they weren't lined up. I wanted (and still want) those suggestions to be wrong, but they were out there (and despite it seemingly being an easy choice, nothing at any point ruling them in). Not as safe, granted, but it was certainly in line with previous suggestions.

No matter how you summarise it, it's still vague enough to be ultimately meaningless.

A lot of it is about whisky though

I'm now more interested in country than I've ever been.

Strong enough to add to the eFestival line up page do you think?

Personally I'd say weak as piss. Others have been taken in by it though.

What is the discord?

 

I could make a bit if that comes in. Nearly pay the parking off lol

Not like Fender's outside the realms of possibility tbf.   He's got to be one of the last few pieces still standing on the board.

[nikkic]

He’s an obvious choice. Was only a matter of time before he headlines. 
 

Could end up being O Rod, Sam and Fred after all.

To be fair, he's only marginally above evens, and there's a maximum stake of £25 on the market so nobody is getting rich.

Still think it needs a few more miles on the clock.  Swap one of the lads out for Stevie and it'd be set fair.

Seems a bit dull. A headliner trio that wouldn’t be out of place at Reading and Leeds or BBC Big Weekend or whatever it’s called now.

The old owner here was rude to a load of old regulars on here who now have a big discord with a decent amount of in the know people on there.

 

what odds did you get on fender?

Based on what

Someone from Sam’s record label saying Sam’s team is in negotiations to headline glasto

They rather love themselves over there. 

Based on what? Someone saying someone is headlining? It’s kinda the point of this place too you know

That is where Glastonbury is going on the whole now really. None of this years headliners would have looked out of place there. One actually did it.

Is there a way to view discord normally?

 

I got 6s pal.

 

As much as I'll quote The Post again, I did read it I the vein that he was the next step along if both Rihanna and Stevie were unable to. I think he would close on Sunday as well

Fair whole back, as soon as a market appeared really.

 

As ford discord, can you confirm if it something that includes a app needing to be download to a community.
