I reckon it will come back to the setlist for the UK dates.

Def not getting this in June.

 

 

This proper stinks. Made one of the most fun songs I've ever seen at a festival look boring as fuck.

Completely disagree - I think it looked like a really heartwarming and special moment.

You know Paramore has done that song acoustic a ton over the years before it was retired, right. Hayley is catching flak for doing this though.

Although she’s obviously free to do whatever tf she wants, it is quite funny that she announced the song as being retired for a while at the last Paramore show and has now jumped at the chance at playing it live again. Maybe Paramore themselves will continue to distance themselves from it, and I understand that this is a cool opportunity for her as the song has gotten extremely popular due to Olivia Rodrigo’s praise and TikTok etc, but she didn’t stick to her guns for very long so I understand why people are bringing it up (but also, like I say, she can do what she wants, so fuck it).

Would just be annoying that Lana wasn’t playing outright tbh. 

[Matt42]

Trying to think who she could invite at G… we are going along the lines of artists who were big when she was younger.

Who else was popping around the same time as Gorillaz/Paramore ?

Yeah, but better than nothing, and better than Chris Martin.

[Matt42]

Ffs I can only think of Chris Martin

Bieber didn’t hit the scene until 2010. Can’t see him flying over just for Glastonbury.

Really on the fence with Billie.. I do like her music and think she's an exciting prospect to go and see at this point in her trajectory, but my god.. those live videos do nothing for me. The vocals don't particularly translate that well to a live setting and it just seems to be synced to a backing track. It seems everyone is excited for the 'celebrity' of Billie Eilish in those videos without her really doing much. She's so talented I wish the live show looked better.

I know I'd have a better time at Little Simz, but I already saw her last summer at EOTR and would definitely pay to see her again, whereas with Billie this is probably one of a small number of opps. 

Also. Four Tet. 

Maybe I'll just see where the night takes me?! 😄 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Simz vs Bill is my tough call.

Seen Simz but not Bill. Simz will go off and be one of the weekend's word of mouth smashes. The team ate foing to Simz.

But Bill could pull out a Beyonce / Adele / Stormzy-style smasheroo, an 'only at G' event gig.

[steviewevie]

I'd like to see Little Simz, my kid wants to see Billy Eilish....but at same time neither of us are that bothered.

[steviewevie]

actually my kid wants to see Foals too...and then there's Four Tet...

[CaledonianGonzo]

That becomes a less difficult choice.

[glimmers_of_hope]

I think Billie is going to smash it. Really looking forward to her set. 

My only concern is that beyond the upbeat and well known singles there are a lot of slow, quiet songs. Actually, personally,  I'm looking forward to an acoustic "your power" as much as "bad guy".

I Just worry that people might drift off when it's not wall to wall bangers. I know she was really well received at Coachella although I'm not sure how many clashes there are there. 

Also, if I hadn't seen Little Simz recently and going to be see her a few weeks after glasto I would be there because she is amazing live.

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

One item of concern.

People say that Oxytocin is one of her big, upbeat bangers and it'll light a fire under everyone 🔥 

Issue is that its a bit of a shit tune.
