Soooooooo what about her lol Olivia has two superbly crafted, well written and produced albums with some great songs on there to boot. That's one of the major differences I'd say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnytee1 Posted Friday at 11:26 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:26 AM (edited) Do others agree that the festival has a great opportunity here to replace NY with a much better (more suited) headliner. The questions here are if they have the will or money to do so. Its easier to bump someone up when you're already sold out for example......... SZA last year or fill with a regular such as Muse, so effectively Emily would have to Want the hassle of finding a replacement. I am a fan of Neil Youngs music but in honesty i think it was not a great choice to headline the festival. I saw him last time he headlined ( i was in the field) and although it was great for me - a lot of people didn't hang around. I know it would be a last chance to see a legend headline but in terms of singalong hits, unfortunately he's no Elton or McCartney or arguably even Stevie wonder or Billy Joel for that matter.

She's had radio hits here for over 10 years. I don't think either is a headliner but if Chappell has enough - Charli definitely does. She is going to kill it on Other. Agree Sabrina is crap I don't think Chappell should headline either. I was saying she was in better shape than Sabrina, even with only one album. I think Charli will do great on Other, but for the Pointo? Nah not for me, with 1975 and O-Rod as others. Think she would have done fine with a McCartney and another big one. What you have to remember is that 90% of artists who are at the big stages could put on a show at the Pyramid to those who turn up and are psyched. However, they won't necessarily generate the buzz that Glasto wants. Weirdly, Charli would given the brat chat, but I don’t think we should start handing out headline slots for gimmicks.

There is "the opportunity", but do we have the round peg for said hole? I'd say no. GIVE US THE STONES. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chat about Sabrina headlining is mad. You may point out Primavera, but that is still mad and maybe "completing a set". Sabrina is quite literally one of the largest artists in the world at the moment, i wouldn't say its that mad to think she could headline. I do agree Chappell is the most interesting musically, though im sure Sabrina would be well received among the masses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talking about Sabrina stepping in to replace Neil Young feels reasonable given she wouldn't be anywhere close to the first choice and they're going to be in reactive mode and keen to avoid a repeat of SZA. Better her than Ed Sheeran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuie Posted Friday at 11:33 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:33 AM The 'already sold out' argument won't affect their decision choosing on a replacement for Neil Young. The fact that we know about the negotiations with him is unusual but this is just another day in the office for the bookers. They won't just throw anyone at it because they've sold all the tickets for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst i agree it shouldn't the fact that Glasto will sell out every year for the forseeable future does mean that they may not have to try as hard for a replacement as other festivals might.

jonnytee1 Posted Friday at 11:52 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:52 AM If i was Emily I'd use this opportunity to drop him and say "unfortunately after some derogatory remarks about our festival, NY will no longer be welcome" I'd then replace him with Stills and Nash through Spite LOL Really living the ethos of the festival there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomf3 Posted Friday at 11:58 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 11:58 AM Ha what an idiot! Not sure why the festival don't tell him to do one after that public outburst. Whilst he is a legend, he's hardly someone who would sell a lot of tickets or excite people about the lineups of future years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted Friday at 12:01 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 12:01 PM I absolutely love this. I really love the idea that the festival is in an era where they can quite happily have the likes of Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo (presumably) sharing the bill. Truly multigenerational event at this stage. The music world is a better place if fans of Rodrigo are being exposed to Shakey and vice versa. It’s all just good sh*t. Gutted not to be going this year! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
