See previous page, talk of her ‘ not at Reading but at a certain other UK festival ‘

 

This is - by some measure - the headline news of the day.

LFG O-Rod is what I'm saying

Big acts is usually what people want at the top of a festival bill, yes. Traditionally.

 

Glastonbury has been booking the biggest acts available to them since at least as far back as 1990

 

With SZA being the natural exception.

Yeah that proves his point.

I'm torn at the moment.  2024 was a hell of a festival for me, just wall to wall with stuff to see and I'm in the mindset of hanging up my spurs and going out on a high or whether to have one last hurrah next year.  O-Rod would swing it for me, I know she'd be absolutely buzzing to headline the Pyramid and would kill it.

There is a point for discussion. Artists who had their commercial prime in the nineties that have not headlined before. (That kicks Oasis, Radiohead, Blur, Pulp, any reunions for REM, The Verve and The Stone Roses out.)

 

Depeche Mode? Robbie Williams? Spice Girls?

 

How many of them then get shafted straight into Legends conversation?

Green Day most obvious (DM would nail a headline performance)…RHCP too but we’ve been through why they won’t! (not losing any sleep over that though, weren’t great when I did see them, though didn’t have JF on guitar at the time and I’d pay to watch him play). 
 

Plenty that are still hugely popular just aren’t possible (Beastie Boys, Nirvana, Prince, Tom Petty etc). Actually, the amount of ‘90s legends that aren’t around any more is pretty scary.

Coachella and Glasto switching roles. Why is Coachella getting Pink Floyd and Glasto gets Fred Again.. somebody lost the plot.
