He’s just split with Brianni Chickenfry

 

Ha! i thought you were taking the pee until I decided to look that up 😁 Never heard of her either 😁

[CaledonianGonzo]

TBH I dunno if I see him being booked at all cos he's not big enough to headline but probably wouldn't want to do a lower slot for a few blocks of Worthy Cheese.

 

He's the country Tyler, The Creator.

So he'll get booked and then not be there?

Zach Bryan strikes me as a fellow who could be persuaded - but you'd need to sell him on it, and with the caveat he would need to be subbing the Pyramid too.

[Baggins7]

Would be good to see some of the more modern country acts give it a go. Zach Bryan, Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton. Even Post Malone with his newer releases. Saw Chris Stapleton in Bham on Tuesday and he was incredible

The main issue with this though is that country music is utter horseshit

It has a growing audience over here, absolutely. But I also do not know how much it will hook as a crossover to Glastonbury - and, given the big fees commanded by those artists back home, how interested they would be.

I think the modern lot would do really well at Glasto.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I love country, but dunno if I really get on with this plethora of men they have these days singing about Tennessee Whisky and so on.

[NorthernSoul52]

I like Bryan's song with Springsteen, even if it is shamelessly recasting I'm on Fire for the new century.

I don't know country well enough, but where does Carrie Underwood fit in this?

 

As someone not familiar with the "scene", I'd have considered her a fairly big, modern, mainstream crossover country name - but when she played Glastonbury a few years ago it was a fairly early Pyramid slot and even then she didn't draw a big crowd.

[NorthernSoul52]

I think Underwood comes slightly before the new generation. I could be wrong though.

Country is very much in fashion at the moment, a lot more than when she played.
