2025 Headliners

[NorthernSoul52]

I really don't get the Paramore chat. Never played the festival before, seemingly not active next year in Europe as it stands,

I was so disappointed with Primal in 2022 on JP. I'd last seen them on Other in 2011 (which was absolutely PHENOMENAL!) but this performance was really, really weak.

 

2022 was a game of 2 halves. 1st half was dull, 2nd half was fabulous.

Primal Scream were pretty shrug-worthy supporting Alice Cooper the other month. It was the first time I'd seen them, and I have been trying for years, but walked away a bit disappointed. Bobby was surprisingly chatty throughout though.

 

Alice Cooper for the Friday evening rock slot.

Friendly reminder for anyone just tuning in and seeing incredibly self-assured takes: absolutely nothing is locked in at this point. 
 

Fender, 1975, and O-Rod remain completely guesses with no substantive info behind any of them. Nobody I’m aware of predicted Rod Stewart, and yet some are harping on about the main three with absurd levels of unjustified confidence. 
 

All is still to play for.

Rod was predicted by quite a few people, it was only the duff Neil Young info that called it into question for a few days.

 

There’s good info on The 1975 and bits of stuff floating around for the other two as well (less so Fender than Liv but still some whispers). Might end up being wrong but there’s definitely more to it than just guesswork. And without anyone else seemingly being in the frame, we may as well go with it.

Can someone give me a reminder of the info we have on the 1975?

Other stuff elsewhere on the internet as well if you know where to look, not sure how much of it has been posted on here though and don’t want to break the rules.

Stevie is back in the picture

^^This.

 

At least they've stopped banging on about The Post like it's some treasured manuscript. 

 

For what it's worth regarding the Fender / 1975 / Olivia trio, I reckon 1 out of 3 is correct.

Definitely re. bold

 

Not so sure on the last bit!

Okay well he's well and truly in the picture now. Only rumous I'd say is more probable to be there from what I've seen at this point is Olivia

I'm personally not sold on Fred, but that's not based on any info - Just my gut.

Olivia and Stevie I'd guess are the safest bets right now with both definitely in the country within a week or so of the festival.

What else do you suggest we discuss on the thread about the as-yet confirmed headliners then?

The pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre? Tbh I'm dead against it.

Stevie would be an amazing get.

Plus had to cancel last year due to health and that’s apparently why SZA got the push up

He'll be in the UK around Glasto for multiple dates

[NorthernSoul52]

Which leaves me assuming, if our chat on The 1975 and Sam Fender is right, that it is a straight shootout for the Friday between those two, perhaps.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Nah looks like Fender might be out. Info was always the weakest on him. 

[NorthernSoul52]

I'm aware that for a lot of people, the Wonder news will be - well, wonderful.

 

But must admit I'm a little melancholy on it. Do understand that if you can get an artist of his calibre, you clearly do. But quite liked the way it looked that the festival might blood an all-new trio of younger options.
