scenes if GNR pull out and are nailed on for 2024

thing i'd just leave this place, couldn't cope with another year of GNR tantrums

Apparently GnR are actually playing at Queens Glass in Bury. But Duff didn't translate this very well.

After today's news, let all the BS on the old thread move here...

I'm calling Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and The 1975

I thought this but then I think this statement in the Guardian article rules out Dua?

 

Next year’s festival should see two women headline, said Eavis – one confirmed, one close, and both of them Glastonbury first-timers. Rihanna and Madonna are among the top-billing acts who have never played the festival.

Honestly think you could be spot on with this, with an outside/ambitious bet of Madonna in for one of them instead.

Could mean first time headliners, but yeah, if not Dua, then Madonna is my bet.

Still think it's Dua. The Guardian maybe just forgetting she played the JPT many moons ago.

The 1975, Taylor Swift, Madonna.

Taylor v unlikely I'd say based on the news this morning.

[lolbot]

It’s got to be Oasis, Bon Jovi and Coldplay for me.

Emily hopes they will have Taylor "within the next 5 years".

Sounds like she's not in the two being discussed for 2024.

[Justcalledtosay]

Emily said she hoped Taylor would play in the next 5 years, whilst saying that two females are very close.

Taylor, Rihanna, Madonna and P!nk fit the bill.... any others?

That's vague enough for me... I'll stick with my prediction, otherwiseI'll be changing it constantly for the next 12 months...

I mean, if the interviewer asked her directly about Taylor, and she said 'We're hoping to get her in the next 2 years! that kind of lets the cat out of the bag...' It's a unique situation, due to the 2020 booking, so Emily will always have to answer the question discreetly, until ink is on the contract and the announcement is official.

Yes, the way I read it is there's no Taylor next year. I get the impression she pulled out after tentatively agreeing to play 2023 and now they have to wait for her tour to finish and the stars to align again.

I reckon Dua is booked and Madonna is close.

Dua Lipa / 1975 / Madonna

Ah ok. Thought it was 1st time headliner. My bad.

I feel like Dua is nailed on, despite the 'first timer' comment. It would still be her first time headlining and appearing on Pyramid. I just think she's exactly the kind of act Emily would want to give a headline slot to. Maybe doesn't mean anything but Emily also constantly likes her instagram posts 

[FloorFiller]

Yeah Dua seems destined to step up the moment her new album is out so be weird if that wasn’t next year. Dua, one of Taylor/Madge, and then The 1975 (or maybe even Depeche Mode if they’re still about and wanting to do it before they pack it in).

Honestly, the two female headliner thing has narrowed down speculation significantly - reckon we’ll get this nailed down earlier than ever, if we haven’t already.

I think it’s a direct quote from Emily though. For that reason, think Dua is out (as a headliner). Think it’s two from Taylor, Rihanna, Madonna and P!nk.

I'm not reading anything into that either way. Emily can be vague like that. I wouldn't call it deliberately misleading, but certainly not intending to tip her hand.

Two from any of those would instantly be a better trio than this year's, whoever else is on the top row.

Dua is far, far likelier than any of them
