2025 Headliners

[NorthernSoul52]

Stuck a setlist up months ago amid dull speculation for what it might look like. If there's a new record around, the question will be more whether it comes before or after the festival itself.

 

Before? You probably get four or five new ones.

 

After? You maybe get one or two, a la Arctic Monkeys in 2013.

Does anyone know what was said or what the rumor is that put The 1975 into second favourites to headline Glastonbury this year?

 

They were not in the running before Thursday.

Also not listed as a rumour on the efestivals site, which is making me wonder about them headlining. They are currently on a break at the moment. 

 

Will try for tickets if they are a headliner. Would also like Fontaines DC. The others rumoured acts don't interest me at all. I would not even watch it on TV.

Given that the ticket sale is tomorrow, you'll not know one way or another

Olivia Rodrigo and Sam Fender look pretty locked in. Then The 1975 are currently the favourites for the third spot, but with no confirmation they’re even active next summer I’m not personally convinced.

The fact that three sources - from what I gather - have touted The 1975 this week, and possibly independent of each other, makes me think the prospects are solid.

 

Throw in the odds - which of course are changeable like the wind - and it seems like there's a promising air.

A once off 1975 show would be brilliant. Matty Healy is a superb frontman. He would appreciate the festival. 

 

The festival has definitely lost it's spark over the last few years. Artists recreating the tour and bringing the whole stage over. 

 

I know a lot of people don't think The 1975 but they will prove people wrong. Like a Robbie Williams Knebworth moment which was broadcast on live TV.

The 1975 are one that would likely look to custom-tool, but at the same time, if they do end up playing other shows around the same period, it's likely going to be the same show too.

They’d be great and it’s pretty nuts that 2025 marks nine years since they last played. Just the question of it interrupting/ending their ‘hiatus’ is all. Although then again next autumn will be three years since they released an album which seems like long enough really.
