2025 Headliners

Can anyone tell me why everyone’s so sure that it’s O-Rod, 1975 and Sam Fender as our three for 2025? Is it based on anything more than them being active, available and at about the right level to do it? Everyone here seems pretty certain it’s those three, but the efestivals website mentions “an act that didn’t quite make it last year” and a “legendary female” so I am feeling like I’ve missed something…

Various bits of info on all three, to varying degrees of reliability. The S*n published an article claiming The 1975 were gonna headline Friday last week, which is almost as good as a TBC usually.

Wonder what was the record for the shortest trio of headline sets in festival history on the Pyramid? None of the three we think will likely push past ninety. 

Dua Lipa and SZA both got 1hr45 this year, wouldn't be surprised if The 1975 and Sam Fender get the same. Feel like O Rod would struggle to even get 90mins playing her full discography

Liv’s concert movie is 1hr40m. With a special guest and maybe a new single in the spring it’d make a tight 90 of wall to wall bangers. 

I’d guess she’d bring out at least a few guests Noah Kahan, Lily Allen (again) and potentially more

Could go either way, wouldn’t surprise me if she wanted to ‘prove’ she could do it herself. But yes any number of people she could call on that are likely to be about if not.

Like Robbie Williams wouldn't have been?

 

Many of Rod's big tracks are slow ballads. Good luck trying to hide behind a band with his current voice. Christ on a bike.

 

Oh well, excited to see what they put up against him or go for a lovely final Sunday wander before seeing Fender smash it out the park on the evening!

Rod at least has good songs. Robbie doesn't.

Whilst Rod may plumb the depths of Sailing and Sexy, he’s still got loads more in the bag compared to Williams.

RW has nothing close to the likes of Stay With Me, Maggie May or Pool Hall Richard

 

Robbie wins the funeral song category, although both artists are top contenders!

Stormzy was 75 mins in 2019. Kendrick similar in 22. 1975 can play 2 hours if they want. Olivia's show will have some changes to it anyway. Sam can do an hour 45. Is this the issue with "new" headliners that they must be able to play 3 hours or its not good?

just go check full sets on youtube cause they exist. You can find timings on most major tours. Does it matter that much is the question.

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
