Oh don't get me wrong I think 'on paper' she is 'too big' to sub.

I just wouldn't be surprised if she still agreed to play that slot if post fallow Emily has eyes on one of those Saturday night 'mega star' bookings

We have just seen Chappell Roan somehow agree to sub-headline Reading Festival

 

 

She very clearly co-headlined Reading. The dual set length time is very clear and the only way that set length isn't part of a co-headliner is if the band playing after has significantly longer.

Oliva Dean has 2 good albums. Chapel Roan has more quality material from her one album than OD has across two. There are many metrics to consider as others have mentioned and you're right, you can't ignore 6 nights at the O2 but I just don't see her as next in line to headline. She's more 'x-factor' and exposure.

I certainly don't think she's too big to Sub either.

 

Definitely, I dont think she's as good as others but if she was at Mad Cool I'd be lapping it up.

I think we need to include Rosalia in the mix

Sabrina Carpenter will produce and star in an Alice In Wonderland Musical -   No idea if this has any bearing on her headlining or not - as no indication at this point when it will be filming best i could get is that its in early development at this point. 

 

*this is from the AI overview - 

Due to Carpenter's busy music schedule (she is set to headline Coachella in 2026), filming is not expected to start before mid-2026, making a release unlikely before 2027.

Maybe on the Other Stage

How many pages do we reckon this thread will reach by the time the first Glastonbury 2027 headliner is revealed?

Sam Fender, Radiohead, Sabrina Carpenter

[Kusy]

Oasis.

If Oasis take 2026 off - as could be the case - then I could buy 2027. Certainly, if they toured but didn't play, it would rival the festival for column inches and social media warbling.

If they take 1 year off they are taking at least 5 more i think

[Crazyfool01]

Does this put Radiohead firmly in the frame ? Or just possible ? 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would be very surprised if they're still on the road in 2 years.

Interesting. I do wonder how long they may go - imagine Noel will want to get back to his own material at some juncture, but maybe it is a case of balancing the two facets around a calendar. Liam seems keen to just keep on going and going and going and -

Fair comment … obviously not everyone Emily sees and posts about will headline I guess . But do wonder how many do or make an appearance somewhere at least

Current rumours are that they're not doing much as a band next year - Nick Cave has requisitioned Colin for the Bad Seeds for the entirety of the summer season. Some rumours of a Thom solo tour in the US next year too. 

 

But even if this is a farewell tour they'll surely go to USA. So 2027 would potentially put them in the frame for the summer festival season...

let me be silly

 

 

Florence and The Machine-Oasis-Harry Styles

Fontaines headlining R&L is interesting, I thought they'd disappear for a while tbh

Yeah true. 

 

They must be writing I guess

[Jack H]

Do we reckon those headline reading next year won't be doing glasto the year after? Thought Dave, Florence and fontaines were likely candidates

Has no impact on the following year. Fontaines are a possibility I think

[Euphoricape]

I reckon Fontaine's will wait until next album before headlining the big one.

They won't be in the 2027 running, Reading is already stretching their touring pretty far as last option.

Why are you assuming reading isnt the start of a new tour/ album?
