I rate the other stage, think it's easy to give it a hiding cause it has less of a theme compared to some of the other stages. 100% agree with you some of the best acts I have ever seen at the festival have been on the other 

It’s just a bit characterless though that’s a bit less of an issue since they upgraded the stage. If you get bearish the front it’s brilliant, if you get stuck at he back in the breeze it can be pretty cold, literally and figuratively.

100% with you 

 

PSB Saturday night Pyramid, party, party, party

I can see that if they ever do a proper farewell tour. Their two Other Stage sets have been magnificent and, well, they just are. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Happy New Year, folks. Hope we all had a good one.

 

No change on the Pyramid assumption of The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo as it stands, I take it?

Massive change just in as it happens

That’s weird. Some of his set was on the BBC last time.

Long story but yes Neil sold the site, after a period of ill health during which it became increasingly clear in several ways that he was no longer a suitable owner/moderator, 

it became increasingly clear that some people are not as open minded as they want to believe of themselves.

Didn’t have the whole thing written into his contract as a non-negotiable though which is probably the key difference.

 

Bring on Stevie. 

[steviewevie]

it's the sun wot won it

[Pr0paneNightm4re]

I wasn’t too fussed for Neil Young so this is welcome news. Always happy for a newer artist to be given a shot at headline. Obviously Neil is a classic artist but surely anyone bothered for him will have seen him already by now?

Just happy for another roll of the dice really!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Will still probably need to be an oldie for the sake of balance, I wouldn’t get too excited. 

[steviewevie]

PULP!

[ac123]

As someone who knows nothing of Neil Young, I’m delighted! Opens the door for the unknown, it was a little tiring having them all wrapped up so neatly for so long.

It might be the new stream headliners live thing they started in 2024.

2nd vote for Bring on Stevie

I mean yeah but three young headliners out of three would be unprecedented. 

[Crazyfool01]

Crumbs …. That adds a bit of interest back in 

[Meerkat]

I haven’t looked at their dates so not sure if they’re around but feels like Muse could be a reliant back up if they need someone in a pinch.

 

The 1975, Muse and Olivia Rodrigo still seems pretty well balanced

Obviously there’s a few months to go, but it probably means a replacement is on the smaller side. 

There won’t be a mega A lister filling the spot. 
 

So someone who is…..

 

A. Touring 

B. Willing to do it/it would be a big move career wise 

 

Step forward…..

 

Sam Fender 

[Crazyfool01]

Oasis step in to fill the hole …I’m not thinking this will happen but an outside chance maybe 

[archiegow]

Reckon we have three major names right now to fill Neil's gap - Fender, Muse and Stevie. 

 

Fender absolutely makes sense but again it would be unprecedented to have three young headliners.

 

Stevie would be an absolute dream and an excellent name for a veteran act with a crowd-pleasing back catalogue.

 

But I think Muse are a really good shout for it. Got festivals lined up for next year, a reliable headliner with many recognisable hits and an excellent show every time they've played. Maybe I'm biased because I am a massive fan but I think I can see it.

 

The 1975/Muse/O-Rod at the minute.

Bump up from one of the subs probably more likely. 

[homesick]

Give it Nick Cave til the end of the season

[steviewevie]

just need the other two headliners to drop out now.

[steviewevie]

maybe Olivia Rodrigo will drop out because too corporate.

Their only dates are that week, last one Glastonbury Friday so far.
