After sleeping, I can't wait to get out of there to be honest. Completely agree (except the sleeping part!) 13 hours ago, K2SO said: Any reason in particular that we wouldn't be speculating that Noah Kahan could be headlining? Probably because he's not headline size here Second headliner at Reading type act for now. Edited October 9 by gfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4AssedMonkey Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 17 hours ago, Wildglastotheo said: People have always historically been leaving on the Sunday- this is why they are allowed to sell Sunday tickets for locals, because the amount of people on site is greatly reduced by Sunday. But more recent festivals people are more likely to stay until Monday. I think the festival organisers are keen to get people leaving at a steady pace from Sunday mid-day anyway to minimise disruption in the local area. Its part of their licence. And the exit in 2024 was much more smooth - no massive waits in the carparks etc. I think the main reason for the steady exodus was not just SZA but that there were no acts on the lineup on Sunday after about 4/5pm that were ‘must see acts’ for many people. I had no-one on my watch list on Sunday after the Zutons, but Avril Lavigne and Shania Twain where obviously both popular. Friday on the other hand had so many heartbreaking clashes for me. On another note: have the Foo Fighters been ruled out for 2025? we haven’t had a year without a repeat headliner for about the last 10 Glastonburys so maybe we are looking at. O-Rod - Fred again - ‘Repeat’ BabyQueen, Caity Baser and Cam Cole were all excellent. If you actually look round, there's always something good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlotteB Posted October 9 Report Share Posted October 9 On 9/8/2024 at 10:20 AM, MarrigoldGloves said: The Festival acknowledges that booking SZA was viewed as a mistake by many and is keen to learn from the small crowd, Contact has been made with her team post festival and the bookers are actually keen for SZA to return to the farm in the future although no actual plans are put in place at this point, the team don’t want SZA legacy with the festival to be perceived as a negative one. They will follow her career closely and it may be 10 or more years when she returns and as to what slot she occupies will entirely depend on career trajectory. There was emergency talk when Madonna pulled out about if Olivia Rodrigo could step in to take over and this would have been the festivals first choice, prior to speaking to Stevie Wonder who was at one point set to take over however health concerns meant that this was short lived due to health concerns. However Olivia and her team wanted more time to prepare for a headline slot which has for some time been discussed and at time of writing has been agreed for the Friday headliner slot for 2025. Although a young artist the booking team are more confident of her success due to her previous appearance at the festival being a success. The festival team has agreed that the best way to introduce big artists from the US that have quickly grown in popularity is by first pitching them in an afternoon slot on the Pyramid or Other prior to them headlining this was the mode used for Billie Eilish and is why the festival does not consider Olivia Rodrigo to be a risk. For this reason talks with breakout artists such as Chappell Roan or Sabrina Carpenter will be based around a festival debut appearance in an afternoon slot to gauge their success with Glastonbury crowds and not rushing them into a big slot, too early. The festival has not been in contact with Taylor Swift about headlining at anypoint since the festival cancellation this is not out of any negativity between the two teams but it's just not a possibility for Taylor in the immediate future, The Glastonbury team are hopeful that they can agree a lower than normal & cut with team Swift as her extremely high current fees would be out of reach for the festival and its thought that Taylor would still like to make the festival appearance once her current roadmap is cleared. Fred Again will headline Saturday at Glastonbury 2025, Prominent members of the Glastonbury booking team were on site at Reading festival to observe his show and are confident that he will be able to entertain a Pyramid crowd, the team is closely monitoring the growth in popularity of electronic music and will be using Fred Again’s headline set to establish if there may be future dance headliners on the Pyramid although at this point no names are mentioned. Oasis team have been non committal on any headline slot at Glastonbury in the coming years while completely ruling out 2025, there does not seem to be much interest in returning to the festival as the tour is mostly financial motivated and any benefits of playing Glastonbury such as increased streaming revenue has already been achieved by the reunion. However the answer is not yet officially no to a Glastonbury appearance at some point. From Pulp Jarvis Cocker specifically remains close to the festival booking team as an advisor on other musical acts but seemingly has ruled out any Pulp show on the farm. Pulp reunion has been enjoyed by the band a lot and they have prolonged the comeback longer than originally planned though they think there last show at Glastonbury is the one they want to be remembered for and so will most likely not play the festival again, though Jarvis will appear in some format to be determined at next year's festival. Rihanna is the booking team's strong leader to play the Sunday night headliner slot, the thinking after early departures last year they want the most prominent headline act to play the Sunday headliner slot this year and with two relatively new acts this will hopefully be Rihanna. She has been on the festivals radar for many years and it was previously though financials might be a stumbling block it now appears that Rihanna is perhaps thinking of putting a lid on her musical career for good and wants to tick a last few boxes before an early retirement to focus on other ventures which includes an appearance at Glastonbury, She was very close to appearing at Glastonbury 2023 and remains keen. It's considered Stevie Wonder is considered as a good plan B to Rihanna though lingering health concerns last around if he could commit to such long shows again in the future. Eminem is not a serious contender to headline despite media speculation, the booking team have discussed in the past and existing concerns remain in place. Lady Gaga is a name the festival would like to get, however her plans are not settling in as reasonable a time scale as the festival needs to lock in a headliner for next year. It looks like it's a no for 2025 however she remains a preferred target for future festivals. Sam Fender not on the booking teams radar for 2025, Sam is considered a headliner but with Olivia Rodrigo and Fred Again in the other two slots the festival would like to pursue more experienced targets, It seems Sam Fenders team would be prepared to consider a lessor slot on the farm but the festival team are drawn more towards him headline in 2027 or 2028. Bruce Springsteen content with his one headline appearance, has no plans to play again at this point. Little Simz sub headline slot was very positively received and the booking team are keen for her to be considered for a Pyramid Headline slot for a festival after the fallow year, though no formal talks have taken place. IDLES after the other stage headline slot the festival booking team are keen to think a bit differently about how they size acts for stages - the local hero status of the band meaning they can perhaps take a larger slot than perhaps there current popularity suggests, however the festival team would prefer them to have headlined at Reading or Download prior to any serious consideration for a Pyramid headline slot. Kings Of Leon were a possibility of appearing last year however talks proved unfruitful and probably not likely to be seen at the festival again. Away from headliners at the festival the popularity of the Sugarbabes recent appearances has not gone unnoticed and the possibility of a regular Pop nostalgia slot has been discussed the key problems with this are about getting acts that are a consistent level of popularity likely to be trialed in 2025 with B*witched lined up to test. The answer to the question you have is 15,20,1,20,14,5,22,14,9 😅🫣 Brilliant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
