Which headliners did she deny were correct?

Dua / Coldplay / Madonna were in the 'leak' and she said it's not correct but with no more detail.

Has that trio come from anywhere aside from speculation?

There's no proof for sure. I guess Dua Lipa as the longest running rumour is the most likely.

She didn't deny any act, can easily be interpreted as not confirmed rather than not headlining.

Somebody on the Discord heard that trio way back in July, and somebody else with usually good info (first to give us GnR this year) has heard both Dua and Coldplay. Madonna is obviously the elusive ‘will she won’t she’ but I think the other two are pretty much nailed on.

I'd assume so. Dua Lipa to potentially drop pre-Christmas, Coldplay in the new year and then likely Madonna / replacement goldfish with the full line-up? Know Emily said she had hopes to drop a good chunk all at once.

Coldplay will come with the poster I think given they are a very stale booking

Dua Lipa up first - then Madonna if they feel confident

[Gnomicide]

Unless there is a leak/self confirm, I think we'll get nothing until the first poster.

feels rare that we don't get a pyramid headliner before the poster .... although obviously Emily has said its coming early in the new year 

[NorthernSoul52]

I'll believe it dropping early in the new year when I see it.

I'll be honest, even with the obvious exclusivity that Madonna would hold... not sure either Dua Lipa or Coldplay - despite the ascendancy and irrefutable commercial pull respectively - would necessarily light the fires.

[sw25]

i think its P!nk - Coldplay - Madonna. Dua Lipa will play TRNSMT instead.

[Drinky]

Why instead?

well the early in the new year is fairly open to discussion when that might actually be .... feb could easily be considered early and we don't normally get much in Jan

P!nk would be the shittest headliner in recent history. Sure she can shift tickets but she’s not had a hit in over 10 years, got not much cross generational appeal and just not relevant in 2023.

That's fair. February is early, dependent entirely on the subject.

Festival lineups? Nah.

Trunks? Also nah, I'm bonkers.

TRUSTFALL was a top-twenty hit as recently as February.

[Gnomicide]

Emily's words were:

"... sometimes we try and do something before christmas, but I want to try and announce the full thing at the start of the year"
 

So yeah, "try and announce", something could change but I think that's what we'll get.

She was also clearly thinking "there is no pattern" but didn't want to say it.

Speculation but I’d guess P!nk’s demographic are the type to purchase music rather than stream 

[ClementsMike]

I dont dig Pink but shes relevant in the news just today alone.

Define recent history.

She's about a million times better than Mumford and Sons for example. (Still can't believe they headlined).

Yep. 2 songs in the top ten, and 3 more in the top twenty across the last 5 years. So the "no hits in 10 years" claim is just weird.

I'm actually that pumped for this now that I'll be disappointed if they aren't announced. Not seen them since their headline set in 2011 which was monumental. Well up for them headlining again and the atmosphere that will create.

Utter bollox. It would go down an absolute storm without a moments hesitation. She's an absolutely incredible live performer at the top of her game, with a super voice. And stacks of brilliant tracks.

I don't think it'll be Pink at all, for what it's worth.

Mumford and Sons are shite I agree but they headlined at the peak of their relevancy. They were huge briefly
