Yeah, Fred possibly but it feels like Fenders time. Would Fred go down that well as a main headliner, I’m not sure. I feel they may want to play it safe this year after the whole SZA thing and I think Fender, Olivia & Stevie or Rihanna is that. Just can’t see Eminem doing anything unless it’s for the money, it’s always been that way so I’d be surprised if that changes. Get the feeling that could be the same with Rihanna too. 
 

I doubt The Prodigy will be in for one of those slots as it looks as if they’re doing the Kendal/Victorious shows. Don’t Massive Attack just do those solar power shows now? I suppose Chems could do it and I’d love it but I think C&S seems like the obvious dance act to play other stage next summer. Forgot about Noah Kahan, I’d imagine he’s pretty likely. 

I think that’s massively underestimating the mainstream appeal of Fred, if you think he could go down like SZA!

Oh I think he’d go down well, I just think Fender is a safer option and is around so I don’t see why he wouldn’t do it.

For me Eminem comes back every 4 or so years to cash it and that's his game. I don't know why he would have ever seen Glastonbury as a big deal for him or have anyone connected to follow footsteps so to speak apart from Snoop Dog.

hes got a loyalty card for the local travel lodge

It would be well attended enough - but definitely not actually busy

Well, that’s your guess.

Not Elton or the Stones but definitely not SZA or Arcade Fire either 😂

This is interesting as the 21 year old would definitely see Fred but can't name a single Fender track. But maybe thats the difference between 21 and 25-30 which is the vast bulk of the population (except on Sunday)

Totally agree … mates of my age gave him good reviews from other stage so I’d likely give him a go … has he started in that photo above … odd number of people looking the other way if he has ... edit correction a few look like they are leaving

It looks like the photographer has caught a group of 10 doing the 'excuse me, sorry, sorry' conga shuffle in a diagonal line to go somewhere else!

Had further confirmation of Olivia today.

 

Charli is also not an exclusive to Reading and Leeds. She will be elsewhere - This date will not rule her out of Glasto and will likely increase the chances of a Glasto slot.

 

Based off this other festival, if she is at Glasto, I would bet she's got either an Other headline or Pyramid sub, probably earmarked for a bump to Pyramid headliner if they have to hit the panic button.

 

I think 2025 is going to be a defining year for UK stadiums. I'm not sure I'd bet on one thing I've heard, but if I did, and it came true, bitch better have my money!

 

(Not something I posted on here but this is the same source that told me about Oasis a month before it announced)

@mufcok was the other act Rihanna???

I'd genuinely rather gave George Ezra than Fender and I'd have Fred over Fender. He's just Bruce light and not very good isn't he.
