2025 Headliners


Guest

Recommended Posts

He absolutely can be a prat (his most recent behaviour really got my goat, although I do appreciate his proper apology for it on reddit) but are people really moaning about him playing up at an awards show or other similar behaviour?

 

What a bland state of affairs we're at where people complain about that kind of silliness. Either much much worse has been done by the complainers' favourite artists or we are really demanding an embarrassingly high bar for behaviour in an industry that is built on mad people doing mad sh*t, and it actually being quite entertaining. The alternative is all frontmen are like Chris Martin. At least Healy makes good copy.

Of course it's Oasis headlining one night. You don't come back after 15 years and play your first gig in Cardiff.

I think they'll do a cheeky warm-up show in Manchester in June. Something like the Apollo or Academy.

 

Would be a bold gambit to come back and go straight in to play to 70k in the Millennium Stadium tbf. Although if any band is arrogant enough to do that, I think it would be the Gallagher duo.

no discussion. Sold out Wembley multiple times. Has multiple number 1 songs. He is somebody they want at one point for sure. At least he moves the needle.

...the hypothetical discussion would be about how lame Styles' music is, not whether Glasto desires to book him or whether he's popular among punters.

I'll meet you again for a great time watching flash bang brass. Hopefully next time we don't break the stand 😂

Definitely up for another round of that - back row again? 😂

That will be Thursday nights highlight again, then I will convince you to come with me to Friday nights highlight 😜

If Harry Styles ever headlines in the future, it'll be interesting to see the discussions pop up around him, given that he's far blander than 1975.

It’ll be pretty much the same discussion TBH. Both are headliners by pretty much any objective measure. After that it’ll just be whether people like them or not.

I’m a metal head and can say with certainty I preferred Harry Styles last 2 albums than anything I’ve heard the 1975 do. 
 

and I thought Harry’s albums were 4/10 

 

I’d also suggest that in terms of a worldwide audience and ticket sales Harry is a bigger draw than 1975 by quite a margin.

Styles is obviously a bigger act but his music is far more MOR lowest common denominator than The 1975. At least the latter tried to branch out in different genres, even if that meant stealing their sounds.

Aye, Styles would do fine. Not seen him, but belive he has a robust live reputation? 

Expand  

I got dragged along by my niece and can confirm, although not my sort of thing - his show had Glastonbury headliner of the future all over it. 
 

it was extremely well delivered and polished, he’s a cheeky little chap and the songs were pretty catchy and I knew more than a handful of them without being a fan.
