I'm convinced Fred Again will do it.

 

Not based on any info, just can't see past it. Though I thought he would this year (he was, for a period of time, if rumours are to be believed)


He was offered it this year but turned it down. 

Part of me thinks he’s taken this year off (until now) because his last album wasn’t exactly a smash. 
 

There was talk of him being/feeling burnt out, so I think this year has been to recharge and think about the next steps. 
 

I’ve been told there’s a huge outdoor gig in the pipeline for 2026 (in a place Oasis are rumoured to be doing several nights again). 

So at a guess, new album late this year/early next, big tour next year, festival circuit 2027.

I was told Wembley Stadium was in the pipeline for this year, originally.

 

I imagine everything has been shifted out by a year to coincidence with a new record

Was it not he was in then he pulled out an cancelled plans for everything  you're a year?

 

Oasis several nights again at Wembley next year?

Recon Fred is the prime candidate for next year. 

 

I could see Fred, Oasis, said female acts with Fender being 2028 with Foos and said female act. Considering Fender is doing this year after the tour late year, a different festival next year or even just a gap before returning in 28 could make sense.

I think he'll sub, not headline, don't think that gamble will be taken.

My far too early prediction Lewis Capaldi // Radiohead // Lady Gaga

 

If Oasis are still around and fancy it, then sub them in for Radiohead.

 

Lewis will sub 27 in my view. It's th much safer bet all round for him and the festival.

Oasis

Sam Fender

Chappell Roan

 

Makes a lot of sense in my head. Surely with Olivia being a big hit this year they will want to replicate it with Chappell

I'm starting to wonder if Fred, Oasis, Chappell fits the 27 bill better.

 

Fender, Swift or Gaga, Foos for 28.

What I thought was a good friend has just booked their wedding and it lands on the Saturday of Glasto '27. WTF!!!!! This is a proper friendship tester right?! 

In fairness that might just be a joint decision from them. We can't decide when people choose to have their events.

😱 Indeed it is! Only fallow years are an acceptable date to get married on the last weekend in June! We did this ourselves in June 2006 to provide our friends with a party! 🎉🥳🎊

Another female name I’d add into the frame who could also be ‘available’ in 2027 with a new album by then is Ariana. On the back of ‘Wicked’, she’d probably draw quite a big crowd on the Pyramid.

 

I still think Fred is likely for 2027. Put those two alongside a classic rock band like Radiohead/The Cure/Blur/Oasis/Foo Fighters and you’d have a headliner lineup that would cater to most audiences.

All depends on when she finishes all the Wicked stuff but I’d love to see it myself, great catalogue of bangers!

Seeing Sabrina Carpenter and Ariana Grande seriously suggested as headliners for Glasto is sad. Neither deserve it. 

Again nonsense. I’d be unlikely to be there, but either who do the job. 
 

The days of over played legacy acts headlining is coming to an end and this is a good thing

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
