No chance she chooses boardmasters over Reading

 

Reading would ultimately also have way more financial clout

I think they were implying BST

The only way i can see her doing BST is if she plans on doing BST, Glasto and her manchester shows in one trip (which could be a possibility)

Yup makes a lot of sense then to be fair

 

only thing against it is Reading would probably still just be a fairly large Reputation booster  at this part of her career

No more than a Pyramid headline, arguably much less so than Glasto. 

 

Although, if we look back at recent female pop headliners (Halsey, Billie, Lana) R&L like a more alternative popstar so Olivia would make so much sense. Without a doubt they will be trying to get her it will just depend on Glasto I would say

I meant BST not Glasto obv PR wise. No chance you choose Reading over Glastonbury in 2025

 

BST would obv work on better on a scheduling front if she also does Glasto

Ah makes more sense

I'd guess Manchester shows on the Tuesday and Wednesday, Glastonbury on the Saturday and BST on the Sunday.

Foo Fighters reportedly taking a hiatus (according to the Mail), so may not be playing after all

well there goes that headliner, who might be the replacement if not linkin park, muse?

[nathanh]

Did the loyalty payment plan yesterday, for £30 a month i couldnt argue with the price and we will just see what happens.

Greenfield and Nova Rock both cancelling/postponing announcements last minute for next summer. Assuming they both had Foo Fighters who have probably cancelled a European festival run.

I think the rumour was Linkin Park wanting to announce all their dates at the same time

Do see the logic in that but would have thought that would've been agreed before it got to the announcement stage.

Muse don't fit R/L anymore. Not saying they aren't big enough but the core demographic for R/L wouldn't be invested in Muse now. 

It would feel like the equivalent to Def Leppard headlining R/L in the mid 90s.

I'm really not sure who could be a replacement for the Foo's, who is a relevant rock band who could be active in 2025?

[Andre91]

If Blink and Foos can still headline R&L, so can Muse.

If they have Linkin Park do they even need to get another rock band?

Foos and Blink are Multi generational as with Muse I find there fans are 35-60 target only for the majority. Not saying they aren't massive but just not relevant to a R/L crowd no more. The festival has moved on.

More like Page and Plant headlining Reading in 1998…

There is speculation that they might have Linkin Park and my point is if they do actually have Linkin Park would they need to worry about having another rock headliner?

Nah they probably wouldnt worry too much although i would expect Foos was who they were banking on to sell tickets so its less so a rock headliner they need to worry about and more so a headliner thats high in demand for ticket sale purposes.
