2024 Headliners

[CaledonianGonzo]

If Stevie disappoints due to age or infirmity then it's gonna suck.

But on paper the dude is an all-timer who's going to deploy an absolute f**kfest of setlist to a bunch of taps aff real ones who're all down to groove their f**ken asses off on a Friday night.

Absolute scenes on here when it’s actually Madonna after all and you just believed some bloke from the internet.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I'll take it. Be happy to be blindsided by it.

 Accessible pop-punk, yep.

What sort of nonsense genre is that?

An oxymoron if I ever heard one.

True facts, stated.

Well we’ve all basically believed some bloke on the internet about Madonna, and all of the other headliner rumours we’ve ever had. Not sure why the Stevie one is giving you such a hard time.

Always felt Green Day were an example of powerpop tbh. "She" for example. Mah gawd what a tune.

Warning is a terrific pop album.

Nothing is giving me a hard time, I find it amusing everyone talking absolutes now, like we’ve had an announcement.

As far as I can gather no one has even seen Stevie Wonder since 2019, so it’s out of nowhere. Compared to Madonna who’s done about 400 shows and is very active, doing the end of the career tour like Elton etc.

I’ll believe it when it comes from Glasto HQ but otherwise try to keep an open mind.

A cogent approach. Adore SW but short a genuinely astonishing return to form/health his appearance makes little sense.

Stevie info has come from a legit place, although I do agree that him having nothing announced so far this year does make it seem like a peculiar rumour to be rolling with right now. If the info had come from elsewhere I’d probably be calling bullshit on it too tbh.

This is the Glastonbury headliner thread . Feel free to create other relevant threads in the other festivals section on the website

It’s also backed up in terms of BST at least so that adds confidence for me

Yeah that's not bad, I'd have loads to see there but I'd look a bit of the odd one out.

[MEGABOWL]

Massive set of headliners IMO, whether it’s Madge or Stevie. Nice balance too.
 

For all the usual pissing and moaning about Coldplay they’re pretty much the most consistent ticket shifter in the world, aren’t doing any other festivals, aren’t even currently doing any UK gigs next year, will get a huge crowd and go over really well. 

Dua is at exactly the right point in her career, has a volley of proper bangers, female, very good live from what I’ve seen.

Female legend and one Female headliner is a positive.

Madge or Stevie, both are huge all time legends. They may not be right at the top of the game but have enough hits to level Worthy Farm and both will have an event feel (especially Madge).

Look at what other festivals that pay a lot more have got this year and GFL are punching again.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Yup. I'm expecting a good time.

Could be worse. Could be expecting an encounter with Tré Cool and the lads.

Thought this was a three day festival from the way it listed on the poster but nope, one day - that’s an insane amount of high calibre acts for a single day, too much so if anything. Imagine it plays a lot like WWWY in that a lot of the lower acts only get like 20 minutes and just play five of their hits.

I think if Glastonbury managed to book Stevie, Sting, Dua Lipa, Pulp, The Killers, Avril Lavigne, Coldplay, wildcard Olivia, Shania Twain, The National, The Prodigy, Keane, The Smile, Snow Patrol.

I think it would be hard not to call that a cracker and up there with the strongest of the year.

Janet’s team been at the poster again or is that her legit position? 😂 

I’d have a great day at this to be fair.

I missed the BST announcement too then it seems. When was that? 😂

Not confirmed but I’ve had info seperately Stevie is in for BST and Madonna out
