Glastonbury festival lineup 2025

Don't think there's a single genre I dislike.

[NorthernSoul52]

Obviously many I'll listen to before others, but dismissal isn't exactly the name of the game.

What about Donk?

I’m a man and I only like the KLF.

Of course she is.

I'm not trying to beef with you, like I think she's a talented artist (clearly not for my demographic) but she is ultimately a pop star. Just recently listened to both her albums (since the glasto rumours) and it's a definitive teenage break-up pop album 😂

 

That said, the first song 'Brutal' is a certified banger and certainly has that pop-punk rock vibe. I loved it.

 

I'm not anti O-Rod in the slightest but I just feel like they've struck a way better balance this year between that kind of stuff and naughties indie rock / classic rock which for me is the soul of glasto (or at least the thing I identify with the most).

[CaledonianGonzo]

To be fair that looks like some weird continental version of ver Hits with Christian Slater on the front.

Thought Kim Deal would have been on there.

I was hoping for this too. The Breeders absolutely killed last year, right up there with my favourite sets.

Your latter point about the balance being just right I agree with. I think its a cracking line up.

 

But the O-Rod live experience is to all intents and purposes a rock show with a live band and continous Beatles in Hamburg thrashing. 

 

Sure there's a blurred line between rock and pop - but that exists for all rock acts who're less heavy than Slayer.  But it only ever seems to become a sticking point when women pick up the guitars.

Not really. Most of the people who classify Olivia Rodrigo as pop would also have the same issue with bands like 1975 on the lineup or Scouting for Girls for example.

[Skip997]

I’d stop digging if I were you. 
 

It’s a nonsense generalisation 

[Justcalledtosay]

I would describe Olivia Rodrigo as teeny bopper that dabbles in pop rock.

Guess what I'm about to tell you about The 1975

[Justcalledtosay]

Well if she played the guitar to one of her songs she must be rock. That's me convinced.

Why would you use those specific terms other than out of a particularly condescending brand of patronising misogyny?

Rolling Stone fell off years ago, this doesn't mean jack. And I say that as someone who's seen Olivia live and liked her.

[Justcalledtosay]

Quite right.

I agree that as an appeal to authority its pretty played out.

 

Kathleen Hanna and Kim Deal have both written effusive articles about her, which may or may not hold more sway.

Tell me what you like but they will always be pop drivel to me. I will be far away at another stage when they are on.
