I'm totally with you here.

He's a glaringly obvious omission up til now.

Waits for the dislikes.

He's notoriously hit or miss live though. I heard quite a few negative reports about his previous two sets at Reading and Leeds.

I've seen him live, he was terrible.

I just hope they add some decent rock, they could fix everything for those seeking for rock. 

For the first time in years the pool of rock/guitar heavy headliners is a lot shallower than the other pool.

[Wooderson]

Madge and Angus on the Mid? Biblical craic. Old Testament.

That's not about to change either. 

Maybe it's the misogynistic and homophobic lyrics?

Surely Eminem is well past his sell by date. Would get a crowd no doubt but seems like a massive step backwards to me.

[Monty Pythagoras]

Oh and he's a w*nker!

[giantkatestacks]

Cannot STAND Eminem - I know he is supposed to have been rehabilitated through his friendship with Elton but I still cant get over all of it.

Since when has that been an issue.

The history of Glastonbury Festival is littered with acts/artists past their sell by date.

We had two as headliners and one in the "legend slot" this year.

One headliner last year.

Dua Lipa / AC/DC / Madonna would be the stuff of legend.

Quite literally legend too, that would be two years on the bounce with heritage acts some might term over the hill.

It's not a case of liking... some of them are nonsense and just good fun yes...

but the rest are there to make you feel something. And yes, sometimes that's disgust and uncomfortableness. It's done on purpose. complicated emotions expressed through a psychopathic character to make you gasp. Just like when you're watching a horror film or reading a book.

I suppose your over the hill acts have had some relevancy in recent years with the Rocketman film and Get Back. Eminem's relevancy in recent years is bad diss tracks with questionable lyrics.

Exactly. Elton might have pink washed him but he's still a homophobic c**t.

Couldn't have put it better.

Are there any other psychopathic characters you'd want to make you gasp while standing in the pyramid field? Do they have lyrics about faggots and bitches too?

The likes of Elton and Macca may be in the sunset of their careers but at their peaks they made a lot of peerless music.

In comparison, Eminem's peak consists of a few decent tunes and a lot of try-hard edgelordery. He's passé personified, a human episode of South Park.

Weird that you want Eminem to headline when your whole thing is about prioritising new and exciting bookings.

[mttJ]

Absolutely horrendous both times I saw him at R&L. The first time even more so when I was surrounded by people who couldn't be any more excited for him who all left gutted at the performance.

[august1]

Don't think he's worth his massive fee for an average performance. Spend it elsewhere

This.

He's a man well into middle age, a father and millionaire who still bangs on about faggots like some teenage edgelord.

Plus he hasn't released a decent tune for the best part of two decades, every album he's put out since seems to be about how the previous one wasn't very good but this time he's definitely back.
