Also I see Lily Allen dropping her new album this Friday - reckon the superstruct festivals next year then the G in 2027. Wonder if she'll still be on the Pyramid or maybe daytime Other or Woodsies headliner?

I'd expect she will want a pyramid or other slot to get a big old crowd belting out tunes. Would be silly to do a Woodsies headline slot!

Yeah that's a good point, think I was just thinking about my initial reaction when I saw Scissor Sisters doing Woodsies and not the Pyramid this year haha! But to be fair with next year being 20 years of Alright, Still and how nostalgia for her has grown a lot these last few years (thanks to O-Rod and hearing Smile and LDN everywhere) Pyramid probably seems the sensible choice!

She could definitely end up with close to an Avril Lavigne size crowd if poorly scheduled I reckon. Been away long enough to build up demand + nostalgia

I completely agree, if she got put on the Other and some smaller artists were counter-programmed against her (like you say Avril against Janelle Monae and the like) then her crowd would probably be enormous especially with everyone wanting to sing along to Smile, LDN, The Fear, f**k You etc.

Watching Jools programme last week it’s possible the last dinner party could headline other or maybe sub pyramid. 

Similar to story to Wet Leg and it never happened - nor were they even that close to these kind of slots!


Far too early to call at the minute

I think they’re definitely on an upward trajectory. Loving their second album - saw them live last week and they were fantastic. Could see them as an Other sub I think though rather than headline - a Wolf Alice type slot

I second this. Think they could get a solid daytime Pyramid slot or Other sub but we’ll see how their trajectory goes!

I’d agree with that. Their album is really good and live performances are terrific.

Been seeing rave reviews for Rosalia's newest singles, I reckon if she's about in 2027 she could get a major spot on the farm. Is she too big for West Holts headliner now? Maybe Other sub or even Other headliner against a rock act?

100% too big for either of these slots IMO.

I'd imagine Oasis would be first choice to headline Saturday night. They'd be the most expensive act to pay (minus some legendary band like Floyd reuniting which isn't going to happen) so you'd want them out front and centre on the night that most people follow outside the festival. 

 

As long as don't fall out then they will do Glastonbury again but might not be 2027 tbf considering they seem like they will have a few years of being able to sell out in seconds on their own before needing to sell a festival for someone else (not that Glasto needs anyone to sell it mind).

It feels like Radiohead, Oasis & Foos could all do it next year or the year after but I’d be shocked to see two of those in the same year. I’d expect up and coming artists to get the bump next will be Capaldi & Fender. Then there’s Gaga, Chappell & Sabrina who’ve all got to be consideration for the next few years. Maybe even Florence, is she still big enough?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
