2024 Headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

Really shows where the capacity rise has come from. Only 3000 more public tickets.

[Drinky]

Sunday had the earlier curfew and already it felt like Elton started at about 8pm this year (I know it was a lot later but it felt so early)

Though it's always important to note that all Hospitality tickets come out of that "Staff, Crew, and Artists" allocation.

Aye, true. Is that bucket broken down anywhere or is it deliberately clandestine?

I assume very deliberately obfuscated. But it certainly feels like the numbers of Hospitality have increased - both in terms of on-site provision and off-site glamping (which aren't exclusively used by Hospitality, but probably a majority is).

On the stadium chat from earlier, a lot will depend where international dates are for the footy, as said.

Do they re-turf Wembley for the NFL? I can't recall.

This is quite possibly the best value general admission ticket on earth, it wouldn’t be surprising for the top brass to embrace a premier league style hospitality model to cover some costs.

It's certainly easier at the Spurs new stadium, which has a bespoke NFL pitch kept in storage just for it.

I don't know how Wembley do it but imagine that if they still don't, we can only presume it's done in a tidier way than this during a Spurs-Man City game when Spurs were borrowing Wembley 5 1/2 years ago. Or indeed that famous England-Croatia game there in 2007 when many felt the NFL ruined the pitch and that put England on the back foot.

Probably half a million to returf Wembley. No chance for a 1 off game

Can someone update me. Steve, Dua, Coldplay we now think?

seems to be very much most likely with the information available at present 

[NorthernSoul52]

Heard Coachella sales are sluggish. Any line in that?

[Wooderson]

"Steve" Wonder. 

[northernangel]

I find Dua Lipa coming out and doing a piece on britpop bands being obnoxious a bit strange. She's made it clear she hasn't bone on the end of anything. Also that Levitating tool inspiration from Blur, Oasis, Gorillaz and Moby which is strange. That whole album is nothing like those above.

For someone who's not had a direct issue with them to call them out say it's just how they are and their 'culture' is, to then get on stage and 'dance' like it's an advert for a new tiktok show wanting you to click their link is a bit off for me. I don't believe all the non diva rubbish at all.

Its fair enough I guess though. Damon and Noel are both complete twats.

Didnt Damon have a pop at the Stones recently? What a loser.

Dua's music is abysmal mind you, agree there.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If you go past the headline and read what she said it's all very mild. Just clickbait.

If anything, she didn't give enough of a shoeing to famous Britpop twat Moby.

[Wooderson]

I thought what he said was fair. Particularly about the cringey vid. But yeh, Dua's comments on Britpop. Lots of it was sh*t. "Lad Culture" etc. Rubbish.

[NorthernSoul52]

To be fair, we don't need any more artists coming out and praising Oasis, surely.

A transfer that legit popped up on my FM save the other day...

[foolee]

Does anyone think Dua will just be like Stormzy, one and done and then fall off a cliff. Feel like she’s getting marketed quite well but not sure she’s actually gonna be a mega star like Olivia Rodrigo will be.

I'm not surprised with that lineup at $600 a pop before you've even added on your camping options. You would in my opinion from previous want standard car camping at least at €150. We got lucky arriving before gates open and we're 3 rows from the front block 8 I think which is what you get in the the newer 'preffered car camping' they brought in a whole back. That is €375+ fees like the cheap option too. If you only go with one mate because it's not up the road to Yorkshire or even flight to Germany is it, that's €685 probably just for your standard. It is nice when hotter to just have your text and put fresh clothes on tbe back seats etc or keep cool things in the boot not exposed. We paid a 3rd of that when we went. I'd never paid that cost of £580 minimum for that festival, they would have to book a decent undercard and like The Rolling Stone and two other bona-fide headliners. New Orleans Jazz has Neil Young who I'm not a fan really and Foos but that wouldn't be enough. Someone who I either really really like or I've not had a chance to ever see.

They are but for her its of no concern, they aren't slating her. Dua Lipa has made some decent music for me but she does not act now on stage in a way I see appropriately all the time. Her 'dancing' choices are questionable. You will have parents of the clientele that she attracts both buying clothes to dress like and act like her and question why?, ultimately it's because Dua Lipa does it. Fit in with their friends etc. Whereas I think you've got acts that still dress similarly but keep it classy.

I did man, I read the whole thing about what Taylor replied to Damon saying etc. Moby isn't even Britpop is he?, he's a American electronic artist. He was born in New York.

Yup loads of sh*t. Myself and it's just me feels she clearly entered a stage where she needed to do more to get recognised.

No but we don't need her ripping on them and then going in on them unaffected herself.

Stormzy is nationally famous but less of a big cheese abroad while Dua is a global star.  Obviously she turned down Coachella.

She may only do it once anyway, of course, but they're different orders of successful.
