Swap Justice with Chemical Brothers and I say "stick". 

Although Depeche Mode would be my personal preference instead of Coldplay, I just have a feeling they're destined not to make it happen. Chris Martin and the lads are a safe pair of hands and there's no denying that's a very strong and balanced headlining trio.

Have Justice really grown in size since they did Holts in 2017? If they returned, which I’m not so sure they would so soon, I think they’d end up back there again, and besides, surely it’s time for Chems to return, even if their ‘every four festivals’ pattern did get somewhat mucked up by the pandemic.

The only thing that makes me not hug you is the fact that those clashes make me not even sick in mouth, but a little bit came out in my weetabix

I wouldn't say Justice are headline Other level, but then I wouldn't have said Wizkid was either.

If Coldplay don't do it next year then I feel 2025 is your run of Fender, Coldplay and Swift and I'm just not sure that would be a trio booked.

Yeah clashes would be sh*t. I have visions of Yungblud on Other subbing and clashing with Olivia or Pulp but I honestly think he's more likely size wise for Pyramid 3rd which is fine. An act that would take a lower slot that maybe he should to get the crowd, Capaldi did it after all.

It’s a very pop trio

Is this Adel announcing a possible tour, after extending the vagas shows?

why won’t tweets extend for me any more?

I'm not sure how it reads ngl. But I don't think she's toured in a while and if she's more comfortable doing it than before, wouldn't be a surprise.

Fender/Coldplay/Swift is a good mix of mahoosive bookings.

If it isn’t Coldplay in 2024 who is it though? I reckon it will be.

Coldplay are present and correcet for the "fo they wrote their own songs and play their own instruments?" demographic

They are touring but would've thought likelier to do their own shows.

No, other than she probably won't be active - though that's yet to be confirmed I think.

Looks to be wrapping up a year long tour in March.

I'd put her back in the frame

Rumours that AC/DC are doing Rock In Rio.

I think if they are booking Fender and Swift as an aim for 2025 then they'll try and get something not guitar based for the 3rd slot.

With Coldplay having toured for as long as they will have, if Glastonbury don't get them on the first year of a fresh album it won't be as unique doing it the same year as a bunch of stadiums.

They are one of those festivals that get those odd one offs as sell that others don't. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yeah I don't think it has any bearing on them showing up at the G. But if they are active next year then UK gigs could be forthcoming.

[Earth_pig]

Ronnie said he's keen for the stones to do it again or the Faces.

Stones yes, faces no thanks 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Ronnie doesn't get much say.

Yeah, Rock In Rio is more of an enhanced concert series than a Festival. Much like BST. It lets a band of that size go there as a "one off" without the huge production that they might typically use in Europe or North America.

Dua lipa or lady gaga 

Stones 

Madonna

I'd almost guarantee the stones won't be there next year

[CaledonianGonzo]

Or any year

I guess it really depends on the timing of the new album and how it's received. There were some rumours about some collaborations on the next one, which I guess might take their popularity up a notch. We'll see. I feel they're worthy of that slot, when I compare it to other acts who've occupied it (Major Lazer, Skrillex, Chase & Status, Disclosure, etc), although how they beat that West Holts set, I don't know.

I've always been an advocate of seeing the Chems get a Pyramid headline slot. I know there'd be the obvious kickback on that but a thirty year back catalogue of bangers + those visuals in that field would be incredible. Not happening though, I get it.

So Adele / Green Day / Sheeran confirmed then
