Does Drake ever get put into the mix of headliner pool?

Arguably bigger than jay-z & kanye,

Certainly bigger than dave & stormzy

Or just not his type of event / pay day

Hope not. He’s shite

Girls Aloud would be good for the Lewis Capaldi 3rd from top slot he did this year.

Coldplay - ? - Girls Aloud

Also think McFly deserve a place on the Pyramid this year and they would make a good opening act.

Coldplay - Jay-Z - Girls Aloud to recreate those Wembley 2012 vibes

What if one of the female artist who will headline is Shakira? 

She played in 2010, mid afternoon slot on the pyramid I think. Also, she isn't American, Colombian I think.

Spoke with my mate who works at a big music company that work closely with Dave. Confirmed that he is playing the pyramid this year but is not headlining. 

Would be a huge booking if true. More or less an admittance that he’s not ever gonna headline the Pyramid which sucks for him, but we the attendees stay winning.

Can’t see it happening based on this. 

Surely he’d have the self belief to think he could headline the whole thing.

If you was Dave, would you go for the Other headliner slot instead? 

Surely they'd snap him up for that.

Depends if you were around in the '90s or at least have a big case of nostalgia for that decade.

Award-winning posteriors are all the rage, I guess.

Yah this is what I’ve always thought but who knows. Considering he’s definitely not gonna be headlining next year (presumably with a new album out) and then by the time ‘25 comes around it’s too late, maybe he’s seen the writing on the wall and realised it’s probably not gonna work out time-wise for him.

My thoughts exactly. I know his stock might continue to still grow, but he's absolutely big enough to outright do it now.

My 21st was a fallow year to allow my body to recover from the wear and tear of my 18th, 19th and 20th.

@Gnomicide Not sure where to put this - you're correct about Glastonbury never sharing a headliner with R/L, but just so you're aware re the discussion of R/L headliners playing lower down as Glastonbury, here's a couple of times it's happened before:

2023 Lewis Capaldi booked to headline R/L, played 3rd down Pyramid

2022 Megan Thee Stallion headlined the Other Stage

2016 Foals subbed Pyramid and Disclosure headlined Other

And 2011 Pulp did a secret set as you've already spotted.

So basically it's more of a recent thing, more so with the two main stage thing (and co-headliners) meaning there's some slightly smaller bands headlining. It rules any of them out as headliners, and probably reduces the chance of any of them cropping up elsewhere - but it's still entirely possible that Gerry Cinnamon could show up somewhere (god help us) and I guess in theory so could Catfish. Technically Blink could too but I just can't see it.

Hope that helps 🙂 thanks for all your great work

I think Catfish will play Glastonbury myself, one of the bands that seemed to be a favourite for the festival to book and Van isn't going to turn that down if asked. 3rd down Pyramid on the Friday.

I just kind of assume that MSW headliners now would be effectively either Pyramid sub or Other headliner level. (Notable exception is The 1975, and that's simply because they stepped in for Lewis Capaldi this year.)

It's why I feel Glastonbury got Lana Del Rey right, seeing that she's below Fred Again at R_+L.

Yeah, “headlining” that second stage is a glorified sub slot. Ultimately they start and finish before the act on the bigger stage starts and are for all intents and purposes a sub.

Has anyone seen any day splits yet? Guessing Liam, Blink and LDR are the main headliners.

They were going to do something for the 20th anniversary, then 1 of them died.

She died in Sep 2021, so clearly wasn’t the reason for it not happening as a 20th anniversary thing.

Press release seemed to suggest Fred + LDR (with Fred as the proper headline, not Lana); Liam + Catfish; and Blink + Gerry Cinnamon.

Dang, Liam and Lana would have made a day ticket worth considering.

Lol not a chance in the year 2023 for a festival In 2024 then Lana Del Rey is the biggest name out of those 6. 

I know shes currently in the dog house with Glastonbury fans. But her stock elsewhere is massive. 

Independent & Guardian have listed Fred, Lana & Blink as the 3 headliners

Edit - that's also the top 3 in the official Facebook post

Well, purely in terms of capability to shift tickets (which to be blunt is the only thing R+L organisers care about), then Liam is the biggest act they have next year by a huge distance. His draw is maybe dented slightly by doing so many other shows (both next year and over the past few), but even so there'll still be a lot of people buying tickets with him as the main name they want to see.
