mr 'i want fresh headliners' doesn't actually want new headliners?

[danbailey80]

Sam Fender seems one of the most guaranteed to work headliners going. He will have 3 albums out and the new one looks to be his biggest yet. His set 2 years ago was massive. 

 

New song and album is something we knew was happening all year. Not sure this makes him suddenly more likely.

 

He seems a no brainer though. Would be a great set.

I feel like Fred was the most nailed-on of the bunch though. Strange.

Fender will knock it out of the park. Plenty of songs across multiple radio demographics and a very sturdy live reputation.

POtential Headliners as Glastonbury Food Stalls

 

O-Rod - Duck Fries, Classic basis, bit of a young twist on the top. Could alienate/confuse the older punter.

 

Fred Again - Overpriced Mac&Cheese. Ostensibly feelgood, bit of comfort food, but is that all there is to it?

 

Sam Fender - A big plate of stodge. Unexciting, bland, but keeps the traditionalists happening. One of those turgid Yorkshire Puddings filled with mash and gravy.

 

Bruce Springsteen - That  burger place in the SE Corner. A classic, but hardly inspiring and sort of wrong place, wrong time.

 

Rihanna - Goan fish curry - Can you afford it? and not as good as it was 10 years ago

 

Stevie Wonder - The crumble stall - a rediscovered old timer, just what you need when you're feeling down, but maybe a bit too sickly sweet.

He still is?   Nothing's changed.

Given dance acts have a legacy with headlining The Other, maybe Fred's lined up there?

Mostly on song, but there's never a wrong place, wrong time for Springsteen.

I've only seen him once, Pyramid Stage 2009, and it er... wasn't great.

too big for any slot other than pyramid headline now - when has a Reading headliner ever done Other

Sam Fender could definitely be a pyramid sub that makes it to pyramid headliner following on from yesterday

Same. Wasn’t a fan before - friends said it was because I’d never seen him live. Saw him live in 2009, still not a fan (though he has a couple of good tunes)

The one in Block 9?? How very dare you, that's my fave food go to on the whole site...

 

 

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

I don’t see Sam Fender doing anything other than headlining the Pyramid at this point (2027 if not 2025). His 2022 set was PACKED and really well received, and he’s grown in popularity since then. In 2022 seemed like he should have had a later slot too, to be honest.

The Smoking Buns place? It is phenomenal, but I'm always there at 2am and never in the mood for a burger 

[kalifire]

The Post notwithstanding, I think it’s a reach to say anybody is nailed on/locked in at this point. We’ve had one person insist it’s Fred but that hasn’t been corroborated by any other solid source, and O-Rod’s dates seem to fit but that’s all we’ve got. Then we’ve got Sunday, which seems wide open.

Same.  Went to the 2009 Glasto headline show, got bored.  Left early.

100%. Meanwhile Silver Hayes, Leftfield, Greenpeace etc etc have much nicer food stalls that cost a fraction of the price, but for some reason are not as popular...........

 

Actually scratch that I know why people are not using the Silver Hayes food stalls as much 😉

If I was feeling argumentative I might pick holes in a couple of the artist interpretations, but that would be well outweighed by concept and execution. Cap doffed.

She did other before being a Reading co-headliner. A Reading set of co-headliners have headlined other and subbed Pyramid in the same year once but in fairness it was a weak choice by Reading.

There are interesting fresh headliners, e.g. Dua Lipa and dull as f**k fresh headliners. Let’s have as many of the former as possible

what on earth makes Dua an interesting headliner and Sam Fender a dull one? From an objective p.o.v not your personal music tastes

Oh, that's just evil, given me the proper cravings now.
