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

Recon Fred is the prime candidate for next year.

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?

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. 

[zzzfest2.0]

Pearl Jam/Chappell Roan/Oasis or Depeche Mode

[kalifire]

Sam Fender / Chappell Roan / Fred Again

 

Swift in '28.

Well that saves a nice chunk of money haha.

[Meerkat]

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

 

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

[JonSnow]

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

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

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! 🎉🥳🎊

Someone tried this on me once, I made her move it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sab Carp brought on Duran Duran last night.  Come on man.

[smiffy98]

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.

[rock_on]

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

[CaledonianGonzo]

Sab Carp will kill it.

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

No, she wouldn't.

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

She's just killed two nights at BST. She'll smash it and humiliate anyone that says she wouldn't.
