So Friday that wasn’t a dance day anymore is…. a dance day 🤣

 

London Grammar is very good though, happy with that.

My final guesses are Griff, Perrie Edwards, Florence, Hozier, and then possibly something bigger/international a la Olivia / Billie / JT / Dua  / Zayne / Twenty One Pilots / Troye Sivan. 

 

I've covered enough bases there to hopefully look right one way or another 😄

Be surprised if it's more than an hour.

Similar sort of length as Harry styles i would imagine (about 12 songs/just short of an hour)

 

I took a crack at creating a setlist based on their tour and condensing it to the hits. 

 

(Intro: Flying Theme- ET)

1. Higher Power

2. Adventure of a Lifetime

3. Paradise

4. Viva La Vida

5. Something Just Like This 

6. Yellow

7. Clocks

8. Fix You

9. Hymn for the Weekend

10. My Universe

11. A Sky Full Of Stars

They have got an act less on the stage than previous years, so I wonder if they'll get a little longer and/or Vampire Weekend will also get closer to an hour (as their name is as big as Coldplay's on the poster)

That’s what I’m thinking… anything over an hour is obviously a massive bonus. Can’t wait still!

TV Coverage for both headline sets are an hour

Sorry for the slightly off-topic question, but how does the location get selected for big weekend?

 

is there a chance for example that it could go to Reading or Leeds next year, because it’s being organised by the same people who organise R&L?

If I was putting money down, I'd predict Bradford to be the very likely 2025 destination as the BBC have shown recent form for going to a the newly named "City of Culture" (albeit Coventry was delayed a year due to COVID).

They tend to like to go to places that would otherwise not have access to live music or atleast not with artists of that scale. For that reason I think any city with a preorganised large festival will not get picked for Big Weekend

Does everyone have their tickets now through Ticketmaster? Bought a pair through Viagogo for Face value but not received them yet, just getting a bit worried if they’ve changed their mind!
