Yeah but something something gammon something something I bet you listen to Oasis something something

 

I am not complaining about her being a headline act, she is a massive act. I am just shocked at her appeal. My teenage nieces love her so I have always considered her in the same vain as Little Mix, Ariana Grande etc. (Other people they like). Just because she isn't my cup of tea doesn’t mean she shouldn’t be a headliner. 
 

oh and I have never liked Oasis.

Turns out music can be enjoyed by more than one generation

So boring to have to explain why she's not just some Little Mix type act (who I love and would happily watch headline Glastonbury anyway) for the 40th time in a 600 page thread.

I genuinely don’t get how anyone can argue with a Taylor Swift Sunday night party. Even if she’s not your cup of tea (she isn’t necessarily mine), it’ll be a phenomenal atmosphere.

Shake it off is a fun track. 

i'm stunned that people still think that Taylor Swift is only popular with 15 year old girls.

usually shows how thoroughly ignorant they are of her back catalogue, and usually only became aware of her after Shake It Off (one of her worst songs IMO) came out.

Im as happy with the timing as I am the announcement  

[maelzoid]

I guess for most of us here this is not remotely a surprise, so it's quite odd that out in the real world, people are going nuts over this (either in good way or a bad way). Same will happen with the Kendrick announcement too I guess.

Luckily my daughters are a bit older now so I don’t get the likes of Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift blasting round the house any more but I can’t deny she’s a decent booking for the festival.

a cursory look on social media shows how little people pay attention to what's going on, a huge amount think Oasis will reform and play, or Fleetwood Mac are nailed on.

you only have to look at the election and the focus group videos to see how little most people pay attention to anything.

Hot take coming through!

I’m stunned at the level of excitement over McCartney. He is a massive star but I’m shocked he is so popular amongst non boomer white blokes.
 

Twist and Shout is a fun track.

That’s true, but doesn’t stop me being shocked by just how popular she is.

Having young nieces I am well aware of her back catalogue. I have to listen to it every time they are in my car. Doesn’t rock my boat and I love a bit of pop. I have never knocked her, just shocked by the level of her appeal.

maybe you should listen to her back catalogue rather than embarrassing yourself with this opinion.

bit like listening to "Love Me Do" and deciding that the Beatles and The Monkees were in the same vain.

It's really not.

Foals at The Park was busy because they played 4th from top, and most of their set was pitted against empty stages.

FBS was busy because someone who could (and has) legitimately headline stages of 10+ thousand was playing to maybe 2,000. The Streets were also booked in a much smaller stage than they should have been. Both of those were bugger all to do with who was on the Pyramid.

The Pyramid will be plenty busy on the Sunday night, don't worry about that.

Foals we’re against Janet Jackson on pyramid (can’t remember their exact set time so this could be wrong) fat boy slim against stormzy and the streets vs the cure. None of those acts on pyramid had crowds like the killers or Kylie sized where the majority of the festival was seeing the headliners.

fbs on the glade was a dumb idea, but against someone like Muse? Pyramid would have been much more rammed. 

Regardless of personal musical taste it comes down to the safety and crowd of punters, glasto crowd is generally older as well. It’s not v festival is it.

most of her music isn't really pop, certainly nothing like Little Mix etc., so I very much doubt that you are.

maybe if you basically ignore the first half of her career and just focus on the last couple of albums, you could, barely, make that point.

I'd be furious if I were you

Resale are going to be a nightmare now (if they weren't already). Swifties suddenly finding out what Glastonbury is on social media.

I know her back catalogue. I have young nieces that listen to it constantly. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I wandered over to Fatboy Slim after Stormzy and it wasn't even that cray cray 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

how on earth is Kendrick Lamar ‘pop’

I swear some people don’t even listen to music 

[Doug85]

This is an amazing headline announcement. She's been one of the biggest names in the last 10 years and is still massive now. She has such a back catalogue. What a fucking lineup we are in store for this time. 

[wro_lap]

The Verve are the new Franz Ferdinand.

The band The Beatles could’ve been!

[Gnomicide]

This is the earliest we've had 2 headliners confirmed. Previous was 2005 when they announced Kylie and White Stripes on the same day.

you compared her to Ariana Grande and Little Mix, so you blatantly don't.

Franz Ferdinand could still be the third headliner.
