So we think that potentially means a show in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland in the week before R&L?

I think it means playing another english festival but not headlining (glasto)

 

People might cry for me mentioning rumours from the discord again but been said for a couple weeks there that she is subing O Rod on the sunday. This is now way more likely.

Don't know much about Neil Young so have decided to give him a listen. Just listened to the After the Gold Rush album and I like it!

 

Any recommendations on where to go next?

Yeah we got a few bits that she was subbing ORod but all kind of doubted it because we also had info she was headlining Reading/Leeds and assumed she’d be a UK exclusive or something. She isn’t, and there aren’t many other places she could realistically pop up in a non-headlining position, so that looks very good for Glastonbury (and a massive booking for them too given her trajectory).

I think there’s now zero apart from Glastonbury

If they get Chappell, Chaka, Smokey and Duran Duran on the Pyramid in non top line slots that's some serious heat.

Paramore too

Really was tempted to put BMTH on my newest lineup prediction as Other headliner but looks like they’re an R&L exclusive which makes Loyle/Charli/The Prodigy much more secure. Wonder if they could be in headliner contention after the fallow?

I'd love to see BMTH headline glasto but it feels like they're currently missing some 'big' commercial songs that a lot of the audience would know. And I say that as a massive BMTH fan.

 

Then again they're a British band that's worked their way up festival line-ups relentlessly, if their commercial peak gets any higher than it is right now, then I'd say they absolutely do deserve to headline the pyramid.

Sunday run of Rod Stewart> Nile Rogers> Chappell> O Rod will be superb 

 

so how did we get to Olivia on Sunday when that means 3 nights in a row for herself now.

But if Chappell is on Sunday, would Duran Duran play on a different day than Nile Rodgers?

I think Duran Duran was always just hopeful because of the date(s?) with Nile.

This is what confuses me, I know some have said she’s Sunday, but it seems to me Saturday is better suited. I dunno???

Sammy Virji sub-headlining is huge for him. Fair play.

He won’t be subbing. He’ll be headlining the very cool Chevron Stage.

Like how did it go from Neil Young and senior Sunday to Olivia and Chappell crashing the olds party. So its gonna be the Powerpop Girls, Olivia and The 1975 as the most anti Taylor lineup you could think of lol.

Literally no different than 2022 with McCartney Saturday and Kendrick Sunday. 
 

Only thing tripping it up is that ORod generally (possibly never?) does three days in a row which she’d be doing here, so I dunno, maybe there’s been crossed wires somewhere, but the info thus far has specifically been Neil Saturday, ORod/Chappell Sunday.

Well its more that we had Olivia pretty much locked in for Saturday til just now. Thats what gets me. Even Billie when she did 22 had a big run of shows on either side and still managed a day off. But I will assume because she has so many days off leading up since Pinkpop is the 21st, Ireland the 24th and Bst the 27, that she is comfortable at doing it because after that its only 2 gigs a few days later after the 3 in a row  and then 5 days off and a week off. Its not a lot of shows but theyre spread out. 
 

So now theres gonna be this interesting flux of people camped out for Chappell and O Ros on Sunday and theyre gonna be surrounded people who wanna see Rod and Nile. Thats kind of the other contrast you look at. Like lets say Sabrina subs Neil? Wtf is that. Or she is under The 1975 which is the only sensible move here. Is the surprise Oasis set before Neil then so you kinda make sure he keeps a crowd and not everyone rams it for Charli?

Think the best guess is that ORod was originally pencilled in for the Saturday which would line up with her dates either side but they’ve had to move things around, possibly to accommodate the third headliner being a late addition (Neil, or whoever it ends up being).

Just what the current rumours are. Chappell then O Rod on Sunday. I know it means 3 in a row.

Has there been any mention of a surprise oasis set? I'm assuming that is satire rather than any rumour to back that up?

Surely we aren’t getting Chappell Roan when she’s headlining R&L?

She's subbing R&L, and we've had acts in the exact same position before (including recently).

Yeah fair enough, would be a great booking. Was potentially thinking of R&L because of Chappell so might hold off if that’s the case.

She's headlining R&L but subbing Glasto

She's an 'english headline exclusive' which suggests she is playing another english festival not headlining.
