I find it hard to believe there won't be a repeat headliner in the trio...
Therefore I think we must consider one of these -  Foo Fighters, Kasabian, maybe even Florence and the machine etc. The Killers, - but actually Stevie Wonder is most-likely the one?

Also - another thought occurring to me - is Madonna out of the question? - I get the feeling that Madonna is an act that actually would benefit from Glastonbury headline slot - she has lost a lot of her 'street cred' over the past decade or so and her personality seems to be someone who wants to remain on top. - she did a free show in Brazil, so she's not against doing shows for low money. perhaps the great pull-out of 2024, was a postponement to 2025?

That being said I think we are looking at 

 ?Fred again? / 1975? - Olivia Rodrigo - Stevie Wonder

 

 

That Madonna show in Brazil had a ton of sponsorships which allowed it to be free for the masses. Guaranteed that she still wants the big bucks.

Arctic Monkeys glasto set had nothing to do with breaking america and everything to do with their album AM being very america friendly though

It is curious how AM proved so successful with the US crowd that a different AM song seems to be trending on TikTok all the time. They had DIWK, then I Wanna Be Yours, then 505 (not AM but still them), and apparently No 1 Party Anthem has become a trending song in the last few weeks.

They did well to find their foothold in the American market.

 

But if we're suggesting they succeeded there due to a friendly sound, then Fender should be already hammering the place down given his Springsteenian vibes.

There you go!

the goverment also put a ton of money into it. It was def more production stuff than actual money. Glasto wasnt going to re do that entire front of the stage to have 3 catwalks and all that. And you remove the front pit too. So they likely werent too hot on the logistics and cost associated. I mean she doesnt compromise. Like this was fairly obvious when she did the super bowl. 2 days before the game during rehearsals, Madonna had inquired about rapelling from the roof of the stadium to start the performance. They had to deny that because there was absolutely zero time to do the safety stuff. Thats how she is and you cant always stop her. Makes Prince look easy. He is just impulsive.

don't think that many on here take them to be honest

im referring to everyone. Like any random punter. If you couldnt bring a flag but were handed a guaranteed ticket do you do that. And i literally mean there would be zero flags at the fest cause you agreed. No loopholes like the ticket queue.

Jack Saunders on radio one said that would sound good opening worthy farm when playing people watching by fender. Not sure if this means anything or just an off comment

Regardless of what you think of Coldplay, their size/pull of them is indisputable.

correct, huge, but also you'd have thought cheap and willing to do it any year given their affinity with the festival. Easy booking.

 

For clarity I do think they're shite and proof the general public cannot be trusted whatsoever.
