VCK Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 26 minutes ago, FrancisH said: Why? Representation has been stacked in favour of white males for decades and still is in many ways. There is no need to promote male bands to these positions because they continue to benefit from this. Stop being silly. So then it's not a 50/50 split if you're saying men don't need to be there. Also to claim that white males are the only demographic to have a lot of representation in music until recent years is not true at all. Also, objectively speaking a lot of the hugest names in music right now, on an international scale, are female, such as Taylor. But like I said, what the artist looks like doesn't matter. Only the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, headlining a stage at a festival isn't a headline show like they're referring to here. They'll be at multiple festivals next summer now they're back together.

Gnomicide Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 There are plenty of acts people tout as headliners that I don't like but understand their appeal so can see them as a headliner, I find it inconceivable that people would actually want Rhianna to headline though, absolutely friggin' dreadful stuff.

If anything I'd say it adds more fuel. "Headline" and "show" are two key qualifiers there. They definitely wouldn't be headlining Glastonbury, and "show" can usually be taken to mean a stand alone show rather than a Festival set.

I imagine if I were to go through the history of Glastonbury them IMO well over 50% of the headliners would be "absolutely friggin' dreadful stuff". Personally I find it inconceivable that so many want Elton John to headline. Fortunately there are 100s of stages and West Holts seem to know what they're doing re booking headliners.

Id rather see Rihanna than Taylor Swift, but wouldnt want to see either. Itd be a proper McDowell/Clockwork Orange/forced eyeballs kind of situation, and i'm not sure the pyramid stage has this kind of set-up for the audience just yet.

topmarksbri Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 Where did the GnR rumour start? I just had a look on betting markets and they're still heavy faves which I find very surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just had a look on betting markets and they're still heavy faves which I find very surprising. Emily mentioned them out of the blue in an interview late last year. Then a couple of months ago the betting went all over the place for them, indicating some heavy money put down somewhere.

Given that only 3 of those 5, at most, can be right, what they say is as always no guarantee of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you had the British press successfully convincing thousands of people to listen to The Kooks and The Fratellis 15 years ago. Now they're telling people that cheesy pop music has artistic merit, and people are agreeing. That's because it does. Future Nostalgia for example, is a better album than most of the lame rock shite we've had in recent years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think without Keith - and with already-booked Pendulum not being as hot as they were a decade ago - a 1-2 punch on 2nd stage is entirely possible.

Nothing wrong with liking pop music, music is subjective and all that, but let's not pretend that the McDonald's meal you're eating has much nutritional value.
