Ain't a joke about Nick Cave. He should headline. 

 

He should in terms of musical quality. Don't know how it would actually go down

Arcade Fire size crowd. Critically acclaimed. Those who go will love it. Lots of people moaning in advance.

It would be cool to see it happen, as far as my own opinion I would enjoy it. I just didn't know he was that popular really outside of certain circles.

I agree.  

I love the man to no end, but he's just put out one of the weakest records of his career.  He should headline the other stage and it will go down like a house on fire.

Xenophobic language will not be tolerated, we've hidden the post for now, whilst we discuss the best course of action to take.

Apologies that the post stayed up so long, there was a bit of a mixup in that we thought we'd hidden it already, and hadn't. Thankyou for handling it pretty well yourselves in the meantime. 

To the offending poster, If you can't join in with discussions, on what is primarily a music discussion board, without making xenophobic, racist, sexist or any other twattish comments, then just don't post here at all.

Not bad when your weak records are an 89 average 😉

For all the people who said LDR should have topped in '23, she's got stadium dates around the festival this year. 

 

 

 

The one hour she got to perform in 2023 was one of the highlights of the festival for me that year. At one point when screens went blank and no movement on the stage I was convinced she would not show at all. Then it started. All her own fault from what I have read but for those 60 minutes she was magnificent. I would love to see her headline but I am not sure they would risk booking her.

Hasn’t been back in over a decade now.. have to assume he’s holding out for a slot the fest just aren’t willing to give him 😞

Ultimately this.

 

Of course, arguments can be made for the risk with others too - The 1975 have a frontman whose provocations may well not play best to a neutral crowd, and Sam Fender's health issues mean there's a chance he won't make it either.

Mod note: Sorry Gnomicide, xenophobic language has no place on here, so I've hidden the contents of your quote. Thank you for doing the right thing and calling it out straight away!

 

Thank you mods.

Just came to say the same.

 

Odd place to announce the first headliner, who would suit both Jo Whiley and a Today programme act?

 

Nick Cave?

 

Let two hours of speculation commence.

 

Probably after 8.10am by the way.

Just to add to my own speculation, didn't Nick Cave guest edit the Today programme a couple of years ago? Would make sense.

[MilkyJoe]

Surely it will be The 1975 confirming what we pretty much already know*

 

*suspect

[Mish1268]

I know Nick would be controversial but he would blow that stage up with emotion. Anyway, who knows

Plus he will wipe the floor clean at the Brits this year and get a massive amount of exposure. 

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

First announcement will be O-Rod surely?

[Dan190984]

Legend slot would be my guess

[Dan190984]

Is it not likely to be 8pm? Isn’t that Whiley’s show?

Radio 4 Today Programme announced it in their headlines at 6am. So it's on there 8am today 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Radio 4? Is that going to Glastonbury related?
