2025 Headliners

[Justcalledtosay]

As if anyone thinks Glastonbury is going to be scheduled based on which slots a girlfriend and boyfriend are going to be playing 🤣

Don’t see why not. Play the gig and go out together after. Makes a lot of sense. I doubt they’re daft enough to complain about the nights they’re getting offered to headline the biggest stages at one of the worlds biggest festivals.

Think Emily would be quite daft to put them on the same night though too.

 

I don't think they would complain if it did happen, but seems unlikely Emily would book them on the same night to begin with.

 

At the end of the loyle friday info also seems stronger IMO + Charli XCX / Neil Young makes a lot of sense.

I strongly doubt Emily, with all the other stuff they have to juggle, gives the tiniest rats ass about booking acts against each other based on relationships. They can see each other before and after. Charli v Young does make most sense though. Carner as Other sub is just a bit of an odd one to me

Maybe so

 

as you say - logic and info dictates its 1975 / Loyle Carner and Neil / Charli so probably best left to that!

 

A big party each night!

We’ll likely never know how much of a priority it is. The other thing baffling me is Young being Saturday and Rodrigo Sunday. Other way round makes all sorts of sense but I wonder if it’s come down to when Young is available.

[joshgardna]

What about Chase & Status for a sub-headline slot on Pyramid. Unsure if they have been thrown around yet?

But a big 2024 (including a number1) & a sold our 2025 tour. Have done the other stage a fair few times, and very successfully..

 

Unsure who they'd sub-headline for though?

It’s odd, isn’t Olivia Rodrigo doing

 

BST Friday

Manchester Monday

Manchester Tuesday

 

You’d have thought she would want to perhaps to do two days on, off, two days on. Instead of one day on, one day off, three days on.

 

Unless she wanted the day off between BST/Glasto, and as first booked she went in the Sunday?

 

For whatever reason 1975 Friday, and as information on Young came latest maybe he was the last one booked and left with the Saturday.

 

Guess we’ll know more when Young / 1975 announce their plans for the year. I can’t see Young doing many European dates and no doubt they’d be healthy breaks inbetween. So can’t see his schedule making it difficult between Saturday/Sunday.

So, is there any chance that 1975 are NOT playing? What percentage? 🤣

Well it also means they have quite a big crossover audience...who's better. Charli vs Neil Young is obviously a better way to do it and they'll know that.

 

Love this how whole debate has just come from one person mentioning what if Charli plays on the Friday 🤣

No, they need to be after dark and therefore headliners

Up to 100

They’ve been reliably mentioned, but nothing ironclad!

 

Would say there’s a very good chance of them playing, but wouldn’t be totally shocked if plans changed at all.

 

They’re the least confirmed of the three now I guess!

Who was the last artist the denizens of the eFestivals forum were, by and large, so desperate to not be headlining, out of curiosity? 😉

everyone someone different every year ... I think we may all quietly be looking for perfection individually all years and its impossible for that to happen , its just natural that some years will be better pyramid headline wise than others especially if youve done a few

Even 2013, which was a vintage year so say we all, was marred by the Mumfords coming along and lifelessly closing the festival whilst apparently unaware that there was a crowd out there watching.

 

One of the all time greats by many's standard, 2009, I failed to see a single Pyramid headliner out of Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Blur.  I still find that vaguely amusing today, sometimes the best time at Glastonbury is making a different choice, giving up on the big names and just sticking with what you're doing at the time because you're having the time of your life.  Sometimes the worst time at Glastonbury is ending up watching something you aren't particularly enjoying because you felt like you had to be there and not just making the decision to go find other fun.

2020 came pretty damn close.

Last year for me …. Just shows how varied it is and how well they cater for many different tastes

It's work though innit.  Means they get the rest of the weekend together rather than working alternate nights and losing 2/3rds of the weekend.

Sure - I understand that there's info for both nights.

 

I just don't think the fact she's married to the 1975's drummer means they can't clash.  If anything it could make a clash more likely.

 

I agree with this, there is 210k people in attendance for a part of that crowd to support them, 1 person that would have seen them multiple time vs both having the same time to enjoy the festival is feasible. Not saying that's how it's going to happen but I certainly wouldn't rule it out. We don't have anything that's 100% confirmation of anything yet.

Same for me.  I was spoiled for choice every night, caught one Pyramid headliner for the spectacle which I got to watch with my son.  The other 2 nights I was elsewhere enjoying the chance to see my absolute favourite live acts while being spoiled for choice and having multiple options each night where I could have gone 2 or 3 different ways and had a great time.

 

Last year was one of the best I've ever attended.  Loved every minute (apart from some neighbour related sleep issues) and if I don't get to return it'll be a damned fine memory to carry with me.

[Acid_Haze]

I think the organisers are probably more likely to not clash Charli XCX & The 1975 because of their audience crossover compared to the Charli XCX/Neil Young crossover, not because of Charli + George's relationship.

That being said I really hope Charli is Friday because that NY/Charli clash is killing me

Shania Twain felt like that this past year. Granted, was tired AF and felt like resting, but definitely a learning lesson.
