Olivia Rodrigo

[CaledonianGonzo]

She's clearly going to draw heavily from both albums.

[MEGABOWL]

She’s previously had Alanis, Natalie Imbruglia and all-time Glastonbury legend Avril Lavigne on as a guest. She could just do the Lilly Allen thing again of course.

Scenes when she brings out Kate Bush to do the Stranger Things Song.

Aye, festival shows before the G will indicate.

[NorthernSoul52]

Unearthing this chat now we have the news that she'll be at BST on the Friday and appears to be a near-lock in our estimations.

 

What do we reckon? A straight-up Guts show? Something a little different for 2025? Or a deviation from the script to try something different?

[Rose-Colored Boy]

She said the Sydney show last month was the “last show of the tour”. May still not mean it gets freshened particularly for next summer’s mini-run but we can afford to be optimistic. 

[NorthernSoul52]

I vote she brings a monster truck on stage and plays a guitar solo stood on the hood.

 

No particular reason, other than the fact I have a bet with a friend on whether a monster truck will ever get on a Pyramid stage. He feels Rob Halford's motorbike will be the natural extreme.

Loads of other festival shows so I reckon a new ish festival set with a few changes, and a guest for Glastonbury.

 

We're just watching the Netflix one now weirdly, and were saying 

Vampire would be better later on! 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

nahhhh Vampire has to open the show with the way it starts as a piano ballad before kicking in, it’s made for it

[NorthernSoul52]

Later would be better. It's like Muse opening a show with Neutron Star Collision. 

 

Bets for the guest starts now. I'd go Charli XCX, were it not for the fact she's an obvious shout to cameo with The 1975 too.

Alanis as she's about? It been done before 

[OllieMadd]

Vampire would be a giant buzz kill opener. All American Bitch all the way.

That would be unexpected tbf given I don't think they even played it 10 times.

 

Though it would be like seeing a show open with New Born, which I did see when they did Origin of Symmetry in full in 2011.

Watched the Guts Netflix gig last night and fully expected it to give me a bit more enthusiasm for her headliner set. It's done the opposite. I genuinely could take her or leave it now. Wasn't impressed at all and i do like several of her songs.

It was a great show live if that helps, but that is what it is.

Too rehearsed/theatrical for your taste?

Everyone is rehearsed to death. But that should never be a knock. I assume the middle section with the moon is the downer. But that has to be re done for a festival set anyway. We will know what that is in March anyway when she headlines the South American Lollas. Can easily throw in another cover or have a guest. If Chappel is before her that opens it up to some options. St Vincent, Alanis too.

Olivia is an actress so theatrics make sense. But some stuff that's rehearsed manages to come across as spontaneous or natural. Other things do not. I'll let the poster speak for themselves as to their reasoning. Guaranteed the Glasto set will feature a cover alongside some special guest.

Is that Olivia Rodrigo documentary on Disney plus worth watching?

Oh really? I enjoyed it, but then I did see her live this year (she was great BTW) which maybe helps.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Anyone who's seen  her live won't be in any doubt that she'll nail a headline gig.
