I don't want to get everyone's hopes up as I do not have any festival specific information

Been off the tread the past month or so. 
What Rihanna stuff have you heard? Couple months ago, I did mention on here that someone (friend of a ‘friend’) from her UK label had said she might be active (musically) but haven’t heard anything since. He didn’t specify Glastonbury but did say she could be about.

Unique set each night like Kendrick's roast target is doing at Wireless?

Absolutely fair enough . Thanks 

[AVALON.G]

Definitely been intermittent news on a Rihanna world tour in 25 trouble is kind of feels for something so big it would have to be announced by now. 

 

 Same goes for her new music.

Certanly could be, I mean definitely feels there to much speculation for it to be a complete fabrication. 

 

If so we will probably find out soon.

A Rihanna headline set would have the fields packed…

[Gnomicide]

Whenever Rihanna comes on the radio, I can't help myself. I just have to get up and start moving across the room to switch it off.

[Jamm]

Doesn't Rihanna keep planning world tours and then getting pregnant and cancelling them?

 

I'd watch a Rihanna headline set but wouldn't be compelled to be there if something else is on offer. Seen Rocky with the A$AP Mob before and was a good time so would definitely be down to see him again.

But not as packed as Charli

Apparently Charli was very very good headlining Laneway in Oz...

RIP to everyone who lost their lives in the overcrowding. Tragic.

Wouldn't be the only ones. U2 seemingly do this as well.

What I have is multiple London shows in a close window to Glastonbury

[DomDom1984]

Rihanna was mind numbingly boring when I seen her.

If they booked Rihanna over Olivia there would be less reason for sure to bother over this year.

To be fair, I don't believe the U2 (2025) tour plans even got as far as placing holds on venues.

 

It sounds like they thought about doing it, realised it was already a busy summer so routing would be tricky, and knocked it on the head early on.

 

It sounds like they've also now shelved the album they'd recorded, and have gone back to the studio with the intention of a new album at the end of 2025 and then tour in 2026.

So she has popped up a dozen children? Did you complain when Beyonce was there in 2011 while pregnant or would you have said she shouldnt have done it with child cause blokes are better as headliners.

What the hell are you on about?

 

I could be wrong but seemingly two returns to music with albums and tours were put on hold due to having the kids.

 

Secondly what the hell does Beyonce and pregnancy have to do with it?

 

It’s not that difficult. I prefer Rocky’s music and don’t think he should headline, I don’t prefer Rihanna’s music but she would justifiably headline.

 

If I had said I’d rather see Joanna Newsom doing a set on the acoustic stage to Drake headlining you’d probably call me a racist you complete headbasket.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Oh wow... someone's had their Weetabix.

Looks like the Fred Again ‘burnout/year off’ rumour isn’t true, just been announced for Fuji Rocks. 
 

Wonder if Emily and co even asked him or we all just assumed
