Who we thinking for the now almost headliners comment?

I think it might be someone not on that first poster if Dua Lipa was booked for the Other. I felt she was hinting at a sub... "almost headliner"

So they’re definitely dealing with dab downs then, though we knew that anyway 

[marathonsteve]

Did she mention a "secret plan"

Was Olivia Rodrigo? Struggling to remember

Megan thee Stallion, O-Rod and Doja Cat potentially.

They didn't book any of those in November 2019 though.

Sam Fender. Dua Lipa.

They were my first thoughts too.

No, her rumour came later.

 

[Somto Unigwe Raphael]

Has she shouted out eFests yet?

Who was smaller in 2019 that’s now almost headliner level? Who’s she hinting at there, Dua Lipa?

Sounds about right. Dua in the sub headliner slot maybe?

I find it difficult to believe they had O-Rod booked in 2019. 
 

The ‘shifting around’ suggests to me that these acts are keen to play this year, rather than holding out a year or two to potentially headline. Though maybe I’m reaching a bit there. 

[jparx]

Sam Fender subbing/headlining the Other is a great shout. Feels like that could be what she’s talking about.

[ModBoy]

What have I missed?

[OnlyRevolutions]

in November 2019 O-Rod was starring in High School Musical so doubt she'd of been lined up for Glasto

Olivia didnt exist yet. She released Drivers License in 2021.

Key points from Emily (on at 19:07 for anyone listening back)

• In full festival mode now - flat out
• Emerging Talent Comp details & previous winners

Song break - Stormzy live from Glasto
• Little Simz - WH headliner 🔥
• Talking about Billie being Friday

• Diana Ross still confirmed

• More lineup news soon - still working on final slots - Once concrete will give you more

• some people booked Nov19 were reserved for smaller slots but now worthy of bigger ones so having to have a switch around

Fantastic, I'm so excited about it actually happening I almost forgot I don't have a ticket 😭

[sisco]

I’d say:

Sam Fender, Phoebe Bridgers and Glass Animals could be 3 she’s on about

Sam Fender clearly. I think is one of the Other stage headliners.

She did also say 'almost headline level' which rules out the last two.

Tbf, she says a lot of things like that (remember the other stage being pyramid headliner size).

Phoebe and Glass Animals both headline or are very very high on the overseas lineups. 

[ModBoy]

Would love to see Sam Fender headline the other stage, I'd be at that!

[the wonderwhy]

We’ve got no real idea what sort of level Phoebe is gonna be at when she lands back over here. She’s blown up in the states but that’s because she’s been able to do pretty much uninterrupted promo over there for two years to plug the gap of not touring - playing on SNL, featuring on tracks with big stateside artists. 
 

She hasn’t had the luxury of doing owt over here as far as I’m aware and the album is a long while ago now. I obviously think she’s capable of a big step up but I think the first year back will just be a case of doing average slots and venues she would have been in anyway (but packing them out) and then she’ll make a splash next time around. Reckon she’s destined for the Park. 

[dentalplan]

If Emily's not on about someone who is actually moving up significantly to an 'almost headline' spot then it's a nothing comment because we'd expect acts to be doing that in general anyway.

[the wonderwhy]

IMO she was referencing Dua Lipa and that they’ve currently got her pencilled in for Other headline but are happy to give her the Pyramid headline nod if someone dabs down.

Why would she say that a headliner could almost headline?
