[mufcok]

So Neil was set to do it?

 

Asking for a friend 😁

Here comes Nick Cave to save the day!!!

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.

Just can’t see Muse headlining in 2025. They are great live but everything they’ve released in the past few years has been absolute sh*t

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

 

Bring on Stevie. 

Stevie would be great. Shame about Young but there’s always a chance he could have rocked up and done a curmudgeon set. Instead he’s just flounced off over TV coverage instead. More convenient this way.

This was my opinion too but it seems Glastonbury have burnt through several options at this point to get to where they are now so Muse might be one of the last acts wiling and available to do it, especially with them not having any UK fests lined up that we know of. 

[charlierc]

If it is them, it could only be as a closing night headliner given Muse are playing a Stockholm show on the Glastonbury Friday. Any announcement in Scandi on Saturday or indeed anywhere else on the mainland on the Sat/Sun surely puts that idea in the bin.

[steviewevie]

Please not Muse.

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 

He does have a free weekend tbf.

[steviewevie]

Surely it has to be Robbie Williams.

[steviewevie]

Sam Fender could sub.

If the intel was 1975 for Friday and Rodrigo Sunday, then that only leaves Saturday as the day with the slot Neil Young just vacated. A day where Robbie is playing Werchter Classic in Belgium, so he wouldn't be about.

move The 1975 to Thursday afternoon.

[steviewevie]

Surely it has to be Robbie Williams on pyramid and Oasis on other for closure.

It is written. Movie, world tour, Glastonbury headline slot for TV.

Love a twist in the headliner story, especially when it’s someone that I personally wasn’t too bothered about. 
 

Interesting who gets that spot now, financially think there could still be money in the bank for a big name, not sure O-Rod and 1975 will demand a huge fee. 
 

Could AC/DC be approached? Adele was rumoured to do some home

coming shows in 2025 before a long hiatus, and a seemingly good rapport with the Eavis, could she be worth a call? Can they finally get Wonder booked? Would the Gallaghers have any interest in Glasto being the grand curtain raiser?  
 

Also plenty of people more lowkey. Muse around but would be underwhelming. Maybe Charli XCX or Sam Fender will get the opportunity.

 

Exciting though, and at least gives us plenty of reason not to talk about South West America hydration for the time being. 

[steviewevie]

Actually it might be too corporate for Robbie.

That's like replacing a plate of chateaubriand with a plate of dog sh*t!

90 minutes of Sinatra covers with Mick from Benidorm incoming. 

[itsfomas]

Honestly this is music to my ears. I wasn't excited in the slightest... I'd love to see Charli step up.

[Suprefan]

Man, should I return my ticket cause of how corporate Glasto is becoming?

Big singalong from housewives favourite as opposed to confusion with hippy grandad.

I'll obviously be at charli xcx being all brat.
