Quinn_D Posted Friday at 07:17 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:17 PM It would be a dream to see The Weeknd headline. 2025 he’s announced a new album, new movie, new tour and it’s final chapter under that stage name. A top 5 artist in the world currently in terms of popularity and has mentioned a desire of doing it in the past. An absolute open net for Glastonbury if they were able to do it.

Are similar figures available for California, Utah and Arizona? I'm aware Las Vegas has earned praise for being able to reduce water consumption but it seems like others need to learn from that.

California has a snowpack which feeds the ground water supply. What you really need to examine is the use of the Colorado River and its water. Because 60 years ago they got it wrong with calculating how it should be distributed and thats something thats a big fight between all the states who use it right now. Theres been ideas on how to store more of the rainfall or to be able to redistribute it but the nimby crowd doesnt give a f**k so we are just running in circles.

I think there's more qualified people than me around to answer that question. ... I've not even visited the United States so that's probably a further mark against my qualifications.

I've ran over it and the Gila River in Arizona and it was little more than a puddle. Many of you may not know that the Colorado River, which made the Grand Canyon does not reach the sea any more. f**ked up. Meanwhile, when I was in the vicinity of the Gila, huge concrete canals irrigate lush farmland in the middle of the f**king desert. MENTAL.

The lower 100 miles are now mostly dried up due to hydro-electricity and irrigation canals. How sad... humans really are a plague on this planet. f**k humans. Back on topic - currently watching Katy Perry - Night of a lifetime. Not my usual Saturday night viewing but it got me thinking, previous progs I've seen like this (A night with Beyonce, Adele - One night only, Ed Sheeran - One night) have all been G headliners. Will Katy P ever make it back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time at the pyramid she was a fun afternoon act, but her stock is low and I really don’t see a recovery - especially to the point of headliner when there are much fresher acts glasping for it, and a back catalogue of elders with evergreen stock to do it. She might have another hit or two in her, but I think a low-mid level pop star who is long in the tooth is her level going forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how well she was received in her spot in 2017 but it does feel like as you say, her stock hasn't really built on those days and if anything has gone backwards judging by how much the singles from her new record seemed to be singled out for a bit of a kicking. Maybe it's one of those scenarios where seeing her means just going to her own shows at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
