2025 Headliners

[LoveAndTheft]

Strong rumours doing the rounds that Peter Kay may be the Saturday headliner. A first for Glastonbury to have a comedian headlining the Pyramid Stage.

Not sure that’s true

He’s sold more tickets than SZA to be fair, but might isolate the American audience.

I don't think this is a strong rumour sorry

I’ve explained in quite some detail several times and not sure I can be bothered to do so again.

 

You’re very aware that it’s a considerably different experience for myself and my mates and it’s about so much more than the festival.

 

I’m also fairly sure you read my reviews every year, which should give you some idea. If you haven’t then I suggest you do.

 

And of course there’s always this

 

 

 

Well stop it with the negative vibes about everything then. 
It's never gonna be the perfect event you want, make peace with that.

If (and I’m not convinced it will be but that’s another issue) the headliners are the 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Sam Fender that’s three acts who in the UK are Arena/Stadium level. Putting aside my own personal preferences that seems entirely fair enough.

Not entirely fair if Charli and others are playing below Fender, which are both bigger and better.

Good point there. Not sure many not Brits would get his garlic bread joke. But hats off to Emily and the team for considering a comedian for a Pyramid Stage headliner.

Who said it was going to be a comedy performance? 🙂

Glastonbury sell their tickets before acts are announced 

 

While they do, if Glastonbury booked completely the wrong headliners for your £400 then tickets would be returned.

I genuinely would have no issue Peter Kay being given a headline slot.

But it's not necessarily a question of fairness, is it? There's only going to be three headline slots and Glastonbury are going to fill them with who they believe is best for them and available at that moment in time.

 

If it is indeed Sam Fender, Olivia Rodrigo and The 1975 who they've asked - and by our collective reckoning, one of those wasn't the automatic pick - then the bookers still clearly have the faith in the model and their options. There's acts who've done it before who would bend over backwards to top the bill again at the drop of a hat, and if EE and company have decided those three are who they want, then that's that, I'd say.

 

As we've said plenty of times on here, it's all subjective.

This has to be the least likely of any rumour I’ve seen on here. As far as I know there’s never been a comedian on the Pyramid, even in a lower slot. Don’t think this is happening.
