Lady Gaga

[NorthernSoul52]

So, no Glastonbury slot in 2025, but has Coachella and the massive Rio show, plus a new record this year.

 

Many think she would have been with us in 2026 had there not been a fallow year, and others - including myself - think she's firmly in the conversation for 2027.

 

So, there's the simple lead-off - if Lady Gaga headlined the Pyramid Stage, would you or would you not be there?

You’d be daft not to watch her. It’ll be iconic no doubt.

Her new album is absolutely f**king brilliant. 

[NorthernSoul52]

I am, in bad form, yet to actually spin it. But I have heard very good things.

 

She seemed to get some good notices for her SNL gig last night too.

 

I'll stand on this hill forever - The Edge of Glory is genuinely one of the best pop singles of the new millennium, honking sax and all.

I don’t foresee many (if any) better pop albums coming along this year. It’s classic sounding Gaga. I’ve only listened to it 4 times so far but I think it’s her strongest album since The Fame / The Fame Monster. Beats out Born This Way as #2, I think. 

[NorthernSoul52]

That's a hell of an accolade to bestow on it.

 

I think just about every Gaga release has brought one bona-fide banger to the party - and I also, unironically, think Hold My Hand is one of the best movie power-ballads in years - but the sheer volume of quality on those first two records as copper-bottomed pop is off the charts.

I ain't watching that bollocks.

[NorthernSoul52]

Ah, right. Not your cup of tea?

[Suprefan]

Why post 'em when you were always going to do the honours, fella?

[NorthernSoul52]

Should be a show. Now reached the point where there's too many bangers for the set.

[Skip997]

100% I’d be there. Now going to check out the new stuff

Interviewer: "What would it take for you to headline Glastonbury?"
Gaga: "Not much."

If all it would take is a phone call, why the f**k are The 1975 headlining?!

cause maybe she is literally signed on to not do any other fest this year around the world. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Love to say Maybe when I mean Yes.

 

Anyway, 4 new dates in Singapore

I'd go to see her. Sounds like a party.

Lovely stuff. Makes me think AU and Japan if she's headed there.

What if you don't like her music? Would it not be stupid to then watch her 

[-TLR-]

her appearance in 2009 must surely be in the top 5 forgotten Glastonbury performances.

 

 

(she was great, but i've seen her once and that'll do for me).

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, a lot of people don't seem to realise she played before.

TBH I think that, headliners aside, she's about the most memorable performer of 2009.
