There's lots of names I would like it to be, but it's definitely best to keep expectations low.

oh for sure! my expectations are low (my earlier Ed comment aside). what with the substantially smaller line-up this year, and a large allocation of time given to the R1 DJs, I am thinking a lot closer to the Live at Leeds crop. maybe its just the speculator in me that feels like there are some surprises in store

Coldplay definitely sold out straight away not sure what gazza is on about. We barely managed to get our tickets.   The queue was over 120k

As with the above, its just not big enough.   Biggest field there is 20 km^2, luton was 100 km^2   If you split the stages up a bit it could fit i guess but would be tight!

Everyday of it was easy enough to get if you wanted it. I was a bit late to the sale as forgot as picked up Friday for Luton and all days were available still. Coldplay naturally sold the fastest and

It does feel like the line up is a lot smaller this year. It's still a good line up when viewed as a whole, but there are longer slots for R1 Djs than some of the artists themselves. I don't understand why the artists can't play longer when there are less names on the bill.

 

The Jamie Webster prediction could definitely be a hitter, because of ties with Liverpool and Sefton Park. However, I also agree- a more 'national' name would be more exciting. Leeds is of course only about 1,5 hours from Liverpool but the turnaround does feel a little tight to be playing two sets within one day.

 

I'm excited for this weekend nonetheless! Especially for Sam Fender etc

On the flip side, it being in the tent, even that early, means there's surely got to be a limit on the size of act?

Lightning Seeds, Zutons, could be guesses, or Coral if we're moving Wirral-way. Whoever is his guest could easily get that guest slot on Saturday.


In Coventry Tom Grennan brought on a footballer, so it could truly be referencing to that.

Re the secret set; I saw Olivia Rodrigo posted about Tate McRae's London show, so she's over here with no dates. 

 

I'll be really, really delusional. 

 

I feel like if they’d had gotten Olivia they would have put her has Sunday night headliner.

Regarding the latter, absolutely, zero chance. KSI appears to be guesting with Greenan, so perhaps that's one of the secret sets, one of them will be Skye Newman too, likely Introducing Stage.

      What is too old for Leeds Fest now ?  I'm going to the Fontaines Saturday in a few weeks at 54 !!!  I may be the oldest there 🙂    Wythenshawe may be an option for WA.

      2027 Headliners

      By ghostdancer1 · Posted

      Pretty much all festivals lose out on major artists because of production limitations though. Glastonbury is no different to most other festivals.  Lots of acts can/will adapt their tour production to suit festival stages if they want to play them, but some acts with stage designs and routines just don't want to adapt, and would rather just stick with a rigid, well-rehearsed production and take the money for their own gigs, whether that's a lot more than playing Glastonbury, or slightly less than playing some other festivals (but with added complications). Trying to adapt the stage, layout, access to b-stages etc to accommodate a single headliner on a Friday and then having to change it all around for a Saturday headliner isn't really a goer when most headliners can just easily adapt their show to stay on a main stage, if they're so inclined. They have a year to figure out how to perform a song on a main stage and ditch a few dance routines out on a b-stage if they really put their mind to it. It's not that difficult......

      I would be all over Wolf Alice but may have outgrown this venue.    Also have to consider the schedule they have been on this year so may be on a break.  This last 10 days alone they did Tramlines, New York, Chicago and Kendal Calling.  Although make hay while the sun shines may come into play.
