2025 Headliners

[across97]

Does that count as a self confirmed then!? Crazy twist and wonder how Glastonbury now feel about not only comments but the subsequent back peddling and him self confirming what is presumably a headline set, very entitled imo. If the crowd doesn't fill the Pyramid field, I think his ego alone will.

😂😂😂 

 

one of the most inventive headliner announcements ever!  Slag off the bbc and Glastonbury for a day or two then say you’re playing after all. 
 

Beats Elton’s rockets and Radioheads grass painting!

You have a wild read on this situation - always interesting seeing things through the eyes of others!

Assume he will be the Sunday Headliner ? 

[BrandoTrillkor17]

 

The modern Glastonbury headliner announcement.

[Spindles]

I have to say, that tweet is absolutely perfectly judged.  Emily is a consummate professional. 

[kalifire]

Weirdest headliner announcement strategy I can remember, but fair enough. Plenty of other stages, etc. 👍

Oh well. Hopefully Charli is still up against him on the other.

Strategy implies that this was the plan. Feels very much like it wasn't.

Emily is a far better person than I am because I'd have told him to get f**ked

hope they've got the crowd management people in place...

 

Also got an eye on the Park and Woodsies for that night personally

Who is going  to tell Muse  to stand down? 

[Spindles]

Muse couldn't headline my local paper these days, never mind a festival the size of Glastonbury.

[mufcok]

What a bizarre set of events. Handled well by Emily, but I'd be interested to know exactly what's happened.

 

.. fee increased? 😅

It’s hard to tell. Presumably somebody of his musical status wouldn’t throw a public meltdown and slate the festival he claims to love, then a few days later say ‘oops sorry, my bad’ and confirm he’s headlining. I mean, would he? 
 

Taken at face value, Neil comes out of this looking like a diva who got his own way. Taken as a plan, it’s plain weird.

Oh well, I guess I will be somewhere else. Headliners are once again looking very weak.

Good luck with that

I'll be honest I know nothing about NY. But as a non fan it's made him come across rather unlikeable, even more so that he is still doing it.

No, that’s Neil alright.

On the face of it that does appear to be the case.

My entirely uneducated guess is that the BBC make demands regarding language used and political statements and someone in his camp took this all too literally and it was miscommunicated to Neil.

Say you wanted to request odds on an act headlining Glastonbury - Hyperthetically of course - where would be the best place to request them? 

 

 

So assuming this was about getting a bet on Neil Young - did you get it on in time?

[Acid_Haze]

The Neil Young / Charli XCX clash is killing me already

 

I think Charli will pull a bigger crowd

[stuie]

I think we can expect another announcement pretty soon now. 

 

With the confirmed artists being Rod Stewart and Neil Young, it's looking very male old duffers again at the moment. 

 

Needs another name to balance it out ASAP.
