I don’t think Cher would agree to play the legends slot if Madonna is headlining the same day. They famously do not get along & I can’t see Cher’s ego letting her play below Madonna.

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Not that Cher's nailed on anyway, but I'd always assume Madonna would be on the Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1986 Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 Cher will still be below Madonna whether they share a day or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think anyone is actually saying Muse are a serious possibility. I was just saying how much better their current shows are now compared to last time they headlined.

I still reckon Emily counts legend as a headliner so it's Dua + female legend + two non-female headliners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how I see it. Certainly nothing in there that says two Female headliners+female legend. The ‘big American act’ could be pretty much anybody. It could be Olivia Rodrigo (just because her tour dates have a gap doesn’t mean anything was booked ages ago), Imagine Dragons, Drake, anyone. It may not be anybody everyone on here will perceive as huge but Emily is delighted about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drake is Canadian and there's no way Emily is bigging up a booking of Imagine Dragons like that on the radio. I'd say it was either Madonna, or Stevie W (if Madonna had already fallen through by this point). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goonerben Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 21 hours ago, Avalon_Fields said: To refresh our memories of what was said in October: Glastonbury Festival organiser Emily Eavis has said she has recently been offered a "really big American artist" who she hopes will headline next year. She didn't reveal their identity, but told BBC podcast Sidetracked she is aiming to book two female headliners. Next year's "legend slot", effectively a fourth headliner - has already been filled by a female act, she revealed. 8 minutes ago, northernringo said: I don't think so, O-Rod's tour dates came out ages ago so they won't have suddenly become available.

A "really big American artist" - do we think this 100% rules out Drake (who I don't think she was talking about anyway) and Rihanna (who I still think is a possibility)? I know the eFests community is well aware that Drake is Canadian and Rihanna is Bajan - but when Emily goes on the radio and talks about a US artist, most people would see at least Rihanna as that, surely?

EthelBailey Posted January 5 Report Share Posted January 5 I agree. In my opinion, Rihanna is a possibility. She may not be ‘American’ but she’s based in the States. Along with her team. Emily wouldn’t say ‘big Bajan artist’ as that would simply give it away. Booking Rihanna would be huge deal since she’s been out of the game for 8 years and has arguably the best pop catalogue in the past 20 years.

Just because Rodrigo’s dates were out there doesn’t mean there’d been any kind of contact with Glastonbury until recently. I was just pulling other names out of the air but ID are big and haven’t played before. My point stands, ‘American’ and ‘big’ means an awful lot of acts.

I highly doubt given theres no past history with her they could get her on her first tour back after so long. She'll do stadiums, glasto maybe next year or the year after even Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. Doesn't rule out the fact that the "big American artist" could be female. Think Emily's two female statement is quite old isn't it so circumstances well may have changed since and we may have more - we may even have less, who knows? All speculation at the moment.
