2025 Headliners

[kalifire]

Fender is surely a backup at best for next year, headlining ‘27 if maintains consistency.

I like Fender and he was great in 2022 but he really needs to get Howdon Aldi Death Queue out his set on this cycle. 

He'd be a good headliner but I don't see how he can elevate his set to be that much better than 2022 with only one more album.

Sam Fender as a pyramid headliner?

 

Smacks of Mumford in '13 if so

POtential Headliners as Glastonbury Food Stalls

 

O-Rod - Duck Fries, Classic basis, bit of a young twist on the top. Could alienate/confuse the older punter.

 

Fred Again - Overpriced Mac&Cheese. Ostensibly feelgood, bit of comfort food, but is that all there is to it?

 

Sam Fender - A big plate of stodge. Unexciting, bland, but keeps the traditionalists happening. One of those turgid Yorkshire Puddings filled with mash and gravy.

 

Bruce Springsteen - That  burger place in the SE Corner. A classic, but hardly inspiring and sort of wrong place, wrong time.

 

Rihanna - Goan fish curry - Can you afford it? and not as good as it was 10 years ago

 

Stevie Wonder - The crumble stall - a rediscovered old timer, just what you need when you're feeling down, but maybe a bit too sickly sweet.

 

 

Love this breakdown but, I'm trying to think of alternative food stalls for Bruce.

 

What's the most overrated food of all time?

The Smoking Buns place? It is phenomenal, but I'm always there at 2am and never in the mood for a burger 

And why is that, HMM?

Sam Fender adverts spotted on Electronic billboards outside the First Direct arena in Leeds earlier today.

Yeah - for all folk are assuming that this announcement will lock him in it could do nothing of the sort. Doing e.g.narenas in the springtime won't tell us much one way or another.

There are interesting fresh headliners, e.g. Dua Lipa and dull as f**k fresh headliners. Let’s have as many of the former as possible 

I know far more young people and older people, male and female, who go to festivals across the country who much, MUCH prefer Fender as a newer artist to Dua Lipa, or O-Rod. 

 

Funny isn't it, subjectivity? 

 

Sam Fender is a superb artist and will absolutely smash it when he headlines Glastonbury.

You forget that Mumford are sh*t and Sam Fender is not.

Really? I have them at about equal levels of sh*t

No banjos and a lack of Trumpian politics does help Fender a bit for the moment.

Sam Fender is defo a headliner in terms of size

Absolutely a headliner. Not sure where the idea he's the next Mumford and Sons has suddenly sprouted from.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Mumford & Sons were headliner sized.

As a Sunderland fan the idea of Fender getting people to wave black and white flags at the pyramid like he did at Finsbury park makes me feel sick 

 

Would rather he never headlined

Only if they've struggled to land someone with a few more miles on the clock like Stevie, Eminem or Rihanna to fill up the third spot.

Its nice to know being 36 is now considered old.

By this point Rihanna has a career that's nearly two decades long.

I'd just move past the football aspect, that's like me not wanting to watch Jamie Webster as he's from Liverpool or never having anything to do with Oasis because they support Man City.

I would but fender seemed obsessed with it last tour , hopefully he has calmed down but waving black and white flags in a London gig seemed strange

I'm not particularly fussed but it also happened at G22.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Actually, just imagined someone doing it with Rangers flags and felt a bit sick.

 

He must be stopped.

I cant stand either act, and will happily use their choice of football club to further denigrate them.

Didn’t actually notice it at all … maybe I was too busy enjoying the set
