She might’ve not been at her absolute PEAK around then, but she hadn’t tumbled nearly as much as she has now and was still headlining stadiums at the time - was a very big booking. People here were refusing to believe she wasn’t a sub and that The National were gonna go on after her. Shame she almost f**ked it by filling half the set with songs from a sh*t album nobody had heard yet. 

I called it happening and Matt42 was calling me all of the idiots on here. It absolutely felt like a Glasto booking decision that would never happen anywhere else.

Matt42 ❤️

 

Been hoping for them to pull a similar stunt with Bruno Mars one day, but alas has never happened.

He'd be a headliner or nothing at this point.

Honestly when they write "Who" -  it literally kills me - 

 

Commenting "who" is just an ultimate self-own.

Probably, but the same would’ve been said of KP prior to 2017. Still gutted they never got him over here for a Silk Sonic show.

Bruno Mars' cocaine fueled ego wouldn't handle a 2017 Katy Perry style slot.

Wouldn't surprise me if Paramore told Glasto to get stuffed if the offer is to open for Olivia Rodrigo, considering the drama between the two acts. They would be best off with R&L, audience would appreciate them more anyway

The ‘drama’ was allegedly their publishers along with their ex-guitarist who co-wrote Misery Business pushing for credit. Hayley Williams has said along the lines it wasn’t her. Paramore at Glasto would be great. 

[FloopFiller]

Paramore in to Olivia would be great, and I could even see Hayley coming out for Good 4 U.

If it was genuinely Josh responsible and not her then that’d be a hell of a middle finger. Would love to see it.

Be like Daphne and Celeste at Reading if he was on any stage, at any time.

The Sun are reporting today that The 1975 will headline the Friday night. 

 

Given the sources around these parts they would probably be right too. Added to that The sun got U2 and Arctic Monkeys both correct in 13 and 23. They also tried to get The Rolling Stones correct and kinda did as much as they somehow managed to hold the info off.

I’ve read the arguments and I’m mindful that you can only book what is available, however still feels like a weak three to me. No issues with any of them headlining individually but as a trio it lacks that oomph.

Would Jaxx top West Holts?

 Yes

Is there talk of Paramore on the other stage?

Subbing Pyramid potentially under The 1975

Sam Fender playing London Stadium and St James Park in the Summer - think that rules him out of a Glasto headline slot.

[NorthernSoul52]

I'd argue it could strengthen his case, if anything, unless those dates are all over the G weekend itself.

 

Big venue - not sure what the biggest stadium is for concert capacity in London.

Chances of GaGa?

Why would it do that?

To rescue the day 

[NorthernSoul52]

Slim, I'd say. Until we know more about her touring plans, not sure what carrot or incentive she may have.

 

She does have an affinity for the UK, but again, it will come down to that complete creative control for the show and whether that can be factored into the G's budget.

[MichaelsBeard]

Are there any unfilled BST dates yet? Could see Gaga doing a double header of the festival and that

London Stadium is about 80,000 for gigs I think

London Stadium confirmed? I'd just heard of there being an announcement tomorrow which was jointly announced with the Newcastle United social media accounts, hinting a return to SJP for him.

Struggle to believe he’s going to do 2-4 UK day festival dates alongside Glasto as well, especially given he’s doing an arena tour as well next month. Feels more setup for 2027 as a final show from his latest album. 
 

But I’d love to be wrong tbh, think he would be be a great headliner!
