Just making sure that means they are being paid over £1m?

No mate, 7 Action Men or Barbie. They can choose which they’d prefer.

Not gonna give the exact figure, but seven figures means seven figures 😅

 

Whilst that isn't uncommon, it's big money for them and shows how far they've come.

I'd take either instead lol.

I was more making sure as was thinking how are they demanding that kinda money. The markets gone mad.

Tbf, presumably that’s for both shows which makes a little more sense

Based on the going rate, I'd assume it's per show.

Dunno if it's the case for others but this is coming up as blocked by the NFL. 

 

I'm guessing that's the Bad Bunny half time show though? I'm aware it was overnight and has got decent reviews. 

[Justcalledtosay]

Bad Bunny still doesn't headline Glastonbury.

Guy's doing 2 nights at the Tottenham Stadium as part of a European sell-out stadium tour. Clearly, whatever's working for him is working just fine.

 

Even if I'm still more familiar with him from movies than the actual music.

[Skip997]

Not familiar with his work, but would be a welcome change from the current trend of headliners

He would 100% have to headline but he's very unlikely to be asked to.

[mufcok]

I remember when some of the false Oasis Europe rumours were doing the rounds.

 

I booked a few hotels, on the off chance. Within 10 minutes of booking Madrid, I was informed it was false cause Bad Bunny was already playing the same stadium that date.

 

Turned out he was doing 10 (TEN) nights at Atletico Madrid. Insane

Ten nights is a lot, of course since he sings primarily in Spanish they can understand the lyrics so will be extremely popular. 

 

a bit like me and the Proclaimers😉😊😉😊
 

But Trump hated him at the superbowl so that’s a plus as far as I’m concerned

It will be curious to see whether the increase in profile from the chatter around his performance on social media/news media will see him start to break through into the UK market that doesn't really seem to care about his music.

 

Anything that annoys bigots is good with me.

[gfa]

I think its unlikely he properly breaks through here.

 

The biggest K Pop Acts - well the biggest international ones (which do a similar amount of stadium shows really - and mostly maybe even all in london only) all sing at least partially in English which helps a lot i think.

 

Only so big an audience for foreign language music here

[Jack H]

Do you reckon a group like Blackpink have even been considered to headline?

I would be really surprised.  Maybe on the Other Stage.

There's a certain type of pop music Glasto can do. Harry, Beyonce, Madonna, Gaga, Rihanna all fit this bill. I can't quite put my finger on it but Sabrina, Bad Bunny, Bruno Mars don't quite feel right. It's a vibe thing. For the record (I think Dua Lipa did fit the bill and Olivia was on the edge, but bringing out Robert Smith won me over)

[mathuska]

How likely Olivia will do festival shows in 2027 summer (OR3)? Maybe she wont miss Sziget this time

I get what you're saying to an extent but I would have O Rod firmly in the 'fits the bill' category

Yeah, Pink is another one that doesn’t quite feel right, but has the hits. 

[charlierc]

I feel like if they booked Pink a few people would counter with a kind of "It's about time" reply.
