2027 Headliners

[NorthernSoul52]

Given it would be ten years since Radiohead last did it, I'm not opposed to the idea - it's a big gap - but given there would only be one new record on the shelf, not sure what there would be in terms of difference at hand.

 

I can't remember who I previously hedged a bet for way, waaaay back. Will need to have a look.

Had two pop headliners last year, if you count SZA as pop.

 

I’d put SZA comfortably within the R&B category…with occasional dabble in pop like Kiss Me More.

Just read NME’s interview with Oli Sykes and they asked about BMTH headlining and he replied “Glastonbury’s not our world.” Think that shows they aren’t too interested in playing at the farm anytime soon, even as Other headliners.

Coldplay should be counted as pop too at this point.

The 1975 too to be honest

Concur. Pop rock with a very healthy foot in the former.

Intriguing but perhaps a reflection of a few slots where they've struggled to connect to a larger audience. Think there's still a place for them but we'll see.

BMTH are absolute shite but can't deny they would be a coup for an other headliner.

An intriguing one, given their live reputation has only broadly increased in recent years.

 

Think they are great fun live, though there's obviously a lot of distraction to go with it.

 

They also have a tendency to fudge their setlists. Think this summer's shows could have been so much better on paper.

To be fair they went from 3rd down Other to 5th down Other so.

Take Chappell, Lorde and Capaldi. Undercards aren't worth getting out of bed for though.

deftones gotta come back and might want other headliner now. and theres a couple dj's on those lineups which are worth your while.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Oasis / Hazza / Chappell or Sab Carp

Yes but this was BMTH

 

Deftones are already playing next year with a new album which was regarded as not overly given schedule history. I don't. Very unlikely they'll play 3 big summers in a row.

Id Dare to say if they got Oasis they might put something really big on the Other stage the same night.   QOTSA are no small fish but even they struggled against Elton - so id expect they would go really big for crowd control reasons 

 

 Id guess if they were to headline the Pyramid they might go has far as trying to book a Pyramid size act on the Other or at least something very different - like a big Rap or Electonic act -   

[NorthernSoul52]

Don't announce the Other headliner, then just slap Daft Punk against them.

[Andre91]

Fred again.., Radiohead & Chappell Roan. 

[Ben7amin_]

to be fair and (yes I know he is a Pyramid Size Headliner).  

 

I wonder if they got Oasis - if they could convince Fred Again to headline the Other stage the same night -  

[CaledonianGonzo]

Feels like Fred's window to headline will have closed by 2027.

My money would go here too. I think oasis will do it. Harry is a tap in and timings should work out. Obv can't be a male for the third (at least as first choice). My vote would go Chappell- just can't get behind Sabrina as much, would be like Katy Perry headlining on the Teenage Dream tour to me.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Different times, man.  Different times.  She's headlining festivals all over the place - BST, Primavera, Lolla, etc.  15 years back pop girls were in their own sort of ghetto just doing arena tours.

Yeah fair, to me there is distinction between Sabrina and other artists like Chappell/Lorde/ Lana but it's clearly my own personal bias. Sabrina is obviously 'big' enough and clearly will be on the festival's radar. Chappell would be my choice assuming Taylor isn't realistic atm.

I dont think this is a bad guess either but with Sabrina. I dont think Chappell will be about.

Estereo isnt tied to LN but they get to book pretty much the same lineup due to avails. they also have Whitest Boy Alive.

All things considered, Charli wouldve been the perfect counter programming if Oasis had played this year on Saturday night. Theyll need something like that opposite if thats what happens.
