Glastonbury will not have a problem shifting tickets in the resale after the fallow year.  It may not attract much new blood but there's plenty of people who want to be back there regardless. 

 

If the new blood is meaning younger crowd then yes. If you want Reading Fest 2.0 then yes.

Yep.  She's now in the convo.  Only playing a big set in 25 to count against her.

Can now see Fender and Raye being in the 2028 conversation.

Chappell / Fontaines / Fender + Stevie Nicks would be the youngest headline trio ever and a timeless legend.

 

 

You bring up a good point - the festival does like to have at least one classic act on offer as a headliner, even if that act is coldplay haha.   Nevertheless, I could see them going for 3 young headliners just because.  Especially after Neil's low turnout.  

 

I could also see Oasis ending this reunion tour at Glasto - whenever that is - it would be fitting to have the last date on the pyramid.  I think Harry Styles wants it.  Just a matter if he can line it up.  Rumours say the new record is on it's way.  

 

Here's where I think I could be wrong.  

Chappell has said that if you're waiting for her to make another album, its going to be a while.  She writes slow, and will release singles.  All of these successful songs of hers took a long long time to make.  So, she may or may not have a record in time.  

If not Chappell, then maybe Taylor if she still cares to.

The Chappell points seems to be getting passed by. She would not be in my reckoning for 27 but not totally rules out, 28 more likely.

 

The last suggestion for 27 was they were loosely I'll say going for Foos and with June shows over here next year, their own big shows would clear the way and the info was attached to that. Taylor Swift was also added to that information. I think she could be 27 or 28. I would also add Oasis to that. They can 100% get those 3 if they agree and it might just well be a case that app 3 are around together. But it would also be a case of the year after expecting a big drop. But while they wouldnt be for me, Raye is selling big, Fender sells big, Chappell will be and The Cure. I will say on The Cure that they are least likely for 28 of they've played both 26 and 27 in England whether Glastonbury was on for 26 or not. You don't want an act on a 3rd year of touring. With them out, Fender, Raye and Chappell becomes a year they can also get into two females selling big. We also know they will try and book two females.

I really think people are overlooking Lewis Capaldi as being one of the headliners.  
 

Also there’s already been mention that one of the 2028 headers is booked.  That’ll surely only be Oasis or Taylor Swift as It’ll only be a huge act that far in advance

I dont think Capaldi will headline Glastonbury yet, I think purely the amount of people in a slot that is much harder to replace. I know he's doing better but it'll be a sub slot in my view in 2027. He'll make sure he's completely sorted and worked his way up the massive crowds and do it the following time out is my guess. I don't doubt he could do it but it would be a booking with precaution.

I think there’s a damn good chance of him tbh … do this short set for us to see how you get on and we will have you headline when we come back . He’s sold out multiple venues and had extra dates added . Think that’s a very good shout 

 

Raye to me depends on if they gave her the boosted slot this year from playing PP for them or that’s been banked for the future in which case I could see her in the next one

Doubt for 2027 but Raye has announced a sixth night at the O2 arena, reckon those numbers look very likely for her to be a headline contender in the next few years.

Aye she's definitely on the way there with this kind of live track record, but like you say, maybe more for 2028 given she literally just did a Pyramid sub-head slot this year.

mad to me how different things are for Raye in the UK vs America.  

 

02 Capacity is 20K, six nights. Here in New York she's doing 2 nights at radio city which is barely 6K (granted, they are both sold out) and theatres half that size throughout the rest of the country.  That's quite an achievement for any artist, dont get me wrong, but going by american numbers alone you wouldnt guess she'd be headlining festivals anywhere.  fairplay to her. I reckon if she continues this trajectory she will absolutely be headlining the pyramid at some stage.  '28 is more likely in my mind.

Is it mad?  Karol G is headlining Coachella but she'd do well to do an arena date here.

 

Mad in the sense that I just don't think Americans have caught on to Raye at the same rate as Brits and Europeans. Surely they will eventually.

Yes - but my point is that that goes both ways.

 

Otherwise you wind up like Suprefan furious that Glastonbury isn't being headlined by Peso Pluma

Both LG and NG have been slagging the fest off recently so not sure. Could all just be waffle though, hard to know esp with LG

 

Chappell is two singles into whatevers next. It will definitely be here by June 2027!

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
