gherkin8r Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Sorry if there's another thread, I did search and found nowt. SZA is playing primavera at end of May/ start of June. My fiancee is a massive fan. Could see her on West Holt's maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 She's way too big for that. Maybe other headliner or Pyramid Sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloopFiller Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Yeah Pyramid sub or Other headliner are only realistic places for her, although given the positions she gets elsewhere she might feel she’s above that and it’s headliner or nothing, which she obviously isn’t getting.

Guest Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 West Holts 😅 Maybe Other headliner, but I actually think she's a less talked about potential headliner in the coming years. Not 2024, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshuwarr Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Can't see SZA accepting anything less than a headline slot on the Pyramid which, probably, rules her out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FakeEmpire Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 I could see her doing Pyramid Sub (and this is absolutely what I am hoping for). It's true that she's getting headliner slots at most places but it's not too dissimilar to Lizzo's level last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gherkin8r Posted November 21, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Haha I had no idea she was that big with me being very out of touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernSoul52 Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 She's absolutely soared through the ranks in recent years. Imagine - especially with the context of other European bookings and the general idea few non-British artists understand Glastonbury's own place in the cultural conversation - that she would want Pyramid headliner or nothing. 3 hours ago, SomeoneListeningIn said: Maybe Other headliner, but I actually think she's a less talked about potential headliner in the coming years. The only thing that vaguely dissuades me there is the sense that there are a lot in the queue in front of her, even if she was to take a hike in size over here.

Whilst it may well be true that she'd want Pyramid headline or nothing - she's no bigger than Lana Del Rey (both did around 80k tickets in London last summer) - so isn't Other headline or Pyramid sub her realistic level? Which then makes it a question of whether their respective views can be aligned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression her day at BST - while a very quick sell-out - was one of the 50,000-capacity events. But regardless, yes - she's a strong Other headliner and Pyramid sub, but I don't know if she is a Pyramid headliner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloopFiller Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 Surely she’ll just do something like headline Wireless instead of taking the low slot and pay at Glastonbury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiZuff Posted November 22, 2023 Report Share Posted November 22, 2023 id like to think that considering her label mate and close friend Kendrick headlined she would prob think she isnt quite on that level (yet). Other headliner seems about right for SZA. Or a pyramid sub below madonna? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gherkin8r Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 This was my initial attempt to leak the info given to me by my good friend Vera via her famous nephew. I thought it was dead obvious that I was acting all soft with the "oh is she that big?" etc. You can lead a horse to water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm with you there - some artists have massive fanbases, but outside of their fanbase people may not be aware of them. Then you have people like Coldplay where no matter what you think of them you'll know a good 6/7 songs at least.
