New act to speculate over

 

And speculation not necessarily a headline position. Olivia, Ed and Rihanna is not great though is it.

If we've honestly gone far enough down the sh*t nostalgia route that B*witched cause a crush then I'm officially done. Chucking my lot in with Skip at the "queue here to complain festival isn't as good as it used to be" sign and be damned😂

Nah it wouldn't cause a crush, not even sure it's a west holts booking

Answer a family debate for me: would they book harry styles and would he be interested? I say no way. I dont understand how he fits glastonbury musically or culturally. Its just not the right fit in my opinion.

Of course they would and he’d say yes.

 

Sad but true

OK.

 

Sheeran's playing Germany G weekend.

Playing German shows on Glastonbury Sat & Sun and is not doing 3 nights in a row. So yeah, he's out.

 

I will admit I'm a little surprised he's not announced a UK show given he's in the European region tbf. Would be a surprise if he didn't, and there does look like a gap in his schedule in July where something could go in.

I think they would and that he'd accept, because if we're seeing the Pyramid headliner as about booking the big name at the right time, and Styles is a big name British pop star who has dabbled in more than just talent show pop judging by his solo repertoire, and is big enough to sell out a lot of Wembley dates, he would appeal.

 

Whether he has the schedule gap or the desire to do a festival over just earning big dollar doing another dozen stadium dates is a different question. Or indeed if he's actually around touring in 2025.

Agreed.  Only 3 on the bounce is Hamburg at the same venue, and Glasto Friday would need a trip from France - UK - Germany.

 

Ain't happening imho.

As said, I assume he's doing something in the UK given he seems to be playing everywhere else in Europe and in big stadiums to boot. But for him, we'll just have to keep guessing what that something is.

An easy guess would be BST given that the dates fit neatly with a current gap in the tour, they've not announced anyone yet, they pay big, and the various London stadiums are quite heavily booked already.

 

Could even see him doing 3 nights there, taking over an entire weekend, as he'd be able to sell it out fairly easily - not something that typically happens at BST, but I don't think there's any philosophical reason behind that.
