Gnomicide Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 3 massive acts, all very deserving of a Glastonbury headline spot. Who can argue with that? It's a solid gold trio in anyone's book. My book is called Solid Gold Trios That You Think Are f**king Awful. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The story about our confirmed headliners is untrue" She hasn't said anyone isn't playing, she is saying the story about all 3 being confirmed is not true. And I expect that is correct. I doubt all 3 were 100% confirmed at that point. Yes, it's an important distinction, what's untrue can just as easily be some or all aren't confirmed, as opposed to it's untrue these will be the three headliners.

If we assume that Fleetwood Mac are done once and for all like they've said then Madge is the final white whale. I think that’s it from that era - all the others are dead sadly. It’s on to the next lot… swift, weeknd, bieber, bad bunny 😂 Hasn’t it been great to be present throughout the glory years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyL16 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Personally think its a quality trio if it ends up being the case, will also make some of the other headliners on other stages a bit quieter (I'll be looking elsewhere if its Madge and most of Dua.....). The last few Pyramid line ups have been great to be honest, great booking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose I can’t be too annoyed about waiting a little longer for the line up to drop. A little inpatient seeing all these other festival line ups being announced. I’m sure Glastonbury will knock it out the park with the line up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullfathom5 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 I just want Coldplay to be Sunday, rather than Saturday - that's my only ask... so I can potentially beat the traffic if there's nobody else headlining I don't fancy. Ha ha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great point, I felt like this for macca and elton. Albeit I wouldn't have missed them anyway, but did feel like "I literally can't see anyone else, even if I wanted to" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest - if she's also doing BST the same weekend, then they'll get first dibs on the specific day. As would any other festival that pays a f**kload more than Glastonbury.

glimmers_of_hope Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Sunday is the best place for her. I need big uplifting songs that everyone knows and energy at that point of the festival. Also I like it if the biggest booking is the final headliner so you go out on a high.

august1 Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 Saturday night BBC is the big slot and we've already seen Sunday crowd problems with Elton. It's the sensible choice for Madge imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rise in her stock comes regardless of whether she's Saturday or Sunday. Or even to a lesser extent Friday. And the direct rise in her bank balance comes from other dates - hence they'll get first choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
