Better than Boston Calling but still missing a few names for me.

 

For real. the Boston Calling lineup might be the worst festival lineups I've ever seen.

not sure where she would fit in at glasto 2025, they're obv trying to push her but a lot of the big slots have solid rumours attached to them 

Slot before the sub on the Pyramid, Sunday afternoon/evening just seems made for her.

Seems like Nile & Chic have that spot on Sunday, could see her third down on one of the other days for sure.

[Spindles]

Yeah, not so much a prediction as a feeling that's the best slot for her.  Something for the local ticket holders, decent crossover appeal and a rising star right now.  In the not too distant future I expect she'll be attracting higher profile slots.

Personally think this is largely great. Combs, Tyler and Rodrigo are massive choices even if Sunday's headliners do feel like a bit a of step down from the rest.

 

Infinity stage, if not just a gimmick, sounds amazing and would be brilliant if it's big enough for a Justice headline for example, to really push the envelope of what's possible for stages and artists. 

 

Not sure on Remi Wolf's pool party thing though. While a pool party sounds fun, I saw Remi last year and she was very unfortunately, the worst act I saw all year. Frankly, she was garbage, but maybe she'll work better in that space.

Raye needs to first release more bigger songs/hits to advance to headliner.

 

I can see her being held back to be a 27/28 headliner.

[Acid_Haze]

Could easily see her subbing The 1975 or Neil Young. Imagine if she has a load of festival slots booked including a headline slot at APE she'll have some more hits out or a new album before the summer.

Bonnaroo is a multi-stage festival.  Justice will be headlining a stage (probably the tent) just like they did at Glasto, on the same day as Olivia Rodrigo. 

 

that production cant fit in their tents. Itll be the second stage. 
 

Wisp is a shoegaze band if anyone really cared about good music.

the Infinity stage is a 360 degree  immersive stage. Its just for Dj's. Like at Coachella we have The Do Lab and now Quasar. Its essentially a mix of those 2 stages cause theyre trying to find more ways to shove Edm into their programming.

I actually just came here to throw her name into the ring, as no one else seems to be talking about her as a potential.

Naturally feel free to take this with a heavy pinch of salt, but someone I know is well connected in the music industry etc and, when I saw him the other week, was adamant that Gaga is headlining Glastonbury this year.  He also said that she'd be doing shows in Brazil, which then was confirmed a few days after he told me.  Other tidbits were that her album is called something like 'Theory of Chaos' and that Die With A Smile was going to be on it - again he mentioned this before it was known publicly.

As a huge Gaga fan, I'm very much hoping this is true - though obviously I'm well aware this might not be what people consider to be a reptuable source, so don't shoot the messenger! Just came on here to share what I was told (whether it turns out to be true or not). Usually very much a lurker on here, don't often post at all - but thought it might be worth saying the above.

Unrelatedly, this person I know also told me that Von Dutch by Charli XCX is written about FKA Twigs - because apparently they hate each other. Not relevant to this thread but nonetheless something I found interesting. 

 

Wow thanks for the info! Fingers crossed she does play; would be a much more interesting booking than the inactive 1975. 😄

I think if Gaga played then Glastonbury don't have Olivia. I'd be pretty sure The 1975 are playing. Definitely enough information recently as well that Olivia went tied down.

[FKA SOSOTWS]

It'd be easier to punt The 1975 to another year and then have Gaga take their slot. Emily'd be super happy again with two female headliners.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fairly sure it's not a case that Gaga is begging to play and Emily is blocking it.  So nothing 'easy' about lining it up.

Sure, why don't they just book a trio of Madonna, Taylor Swift, and Led Zeppelin. 2 female artists and something for everyone. Easy.

Words that are guaranteed to get me running to spotify to check a band out.

Really hoping the info about Gaga playing is right, it would be amazing.  She’s such a brilliant performer.. now would be the perfect time for her to come back.

Is there info suggesting she might be?

Maybe they can have a one-two-three of tribute acts to these three for the next edition of Glastonbudget.

Afraid there is no info. Just people trying to manifest something..

[CaledonianGonzo]

What about Frankie Wonga?

[fullfathom5]

Clearly not gonna happen, but yeah kick The 19crappy5 to 2026 please 😉 and get Gaga in. Come on Emily, you know it makes sense!

I would welcome this change of information but I doubt it's likely!  Matt Healy might have got them cancelled I guess!?

The kind of sentence I usually equate with the kind of people who end facebook posts with "simples"

 

No snark, obviously.

they're just off the back of their biggest ever tour, that was effectively a double tour in the end, selling out both. like them or loathe them (and I'm aware mant on this forum very much fall into the latter camp), but Healy's antics haven't impacted them whatsoever.
