2025 Headliners

I think we're underestimating the possibility of Lady Gaga. New album by the end of the year apparently. And she's unlikely to do large extensive tours anymore because of her fibromyalgia, so will do more one-off, high impact shows (like Glasto).

It says Oasis aren't playing.  They could rename themselves something like The Churnup In The Skies and still play


Noel Gallagher & The High Flying Birds playing an Oasis set to rehearse ready for their new singer?  😄

If it's Fred / Gaga / Stevie Wonder then that would be a great mix.  Not arsed about Fred personally, think it's all emperors new clothes, but no denying current popularity.

And yet, my point stands. 

 

In the unlikely chance that they all offered their services for next year at an affordable rate there's no way that Emily is knocking back, say, Oasis, the Stones and the Boss to instead sweat blood trying to book a less popular but more diverse line-up.



I can usually follow you, but I'm afraid on this subject I've become increasingly unclear what your point is, other than maybe suggesting things that are clearly not happening?  🤷‍♂️

Emily's a gig promoter and her primary responsibility is to the ticket holders - and to book the best line-up she can within her means.  In an ideal world it would be gender and genre diverse, but that still has to happen in a context of giving the people who've bought the tickets a good time.

 

So if it's a straight choice between some Tier A headline options and some Tier B ones, she's likely going to pick from Tier A, regardless of the gender split.

Given her remarks over the last couple of years, I disagree. I think O-Rod has to be in the mix, hopefully at the expense of Fred. 


What if she isn’t available?

 

If there are 3 headliner level acts available that are male, and none that are female, she’ll book the three male acts. Yeah people complained about 2023 (ludicrously, to my mind) but different people complained in 2024. Some people complain every year.

That would be a really great trio. Something for everyone. Except indie rock fans, but they'd surely have plenty on the Other Stage for them.
