See when she mentioned the 2 female headliners. Did she allude to the fact she'd already mentioned that was their plan back on the podcast a few months ago? 

Yeah she did. Something along the lines of ‘I talked about us having two female headliners… and we still have two female headliners’.

For the life of me I can’t see it being the proposed 3… could well be wrong and probably are. Is there a final BST show to be added or is that it now? If so, is SZA also a BST replacement for Madonna / Stevie? 

SZA was always lined up for BST - it remains to be seen if they’re gonna fill the Madonna/Stevie slot at all or just not have a show that day.

In trouble with her husband was the full quote! She said he told her not to give too much away. 

Nothing like an international woman’s day talk, having to watchh he what you say because of a man.

Thank you both for your service! 
 

Likely just semantics but noticed one of you said ‘line up next week’ and one said ‘full line up next week’ - does ‘full’ just mean the first poster drop as opposed to us just getting a single name? I am assuming it doesn’t mean the whole shebang?

Or Madonna is a guaranteed instant sell-out so they have no reason to worry holding off announcing it if it's what her camp (or others) want...

99.9 sure she just said 'line up' 

I took that as initial poster drop with the big names then the full thing will follow in May or whenever it usually arrives.

Thanks @gooner1990 and @Harmonic Prospector

So then it’s probably Dua and Coldplay and one of SZA, O-Rod or (slightly more outside chance) Rihanna or back to Madonna? At least we know we don’t have much longer until we find out but don’t have to stand by our phones tomorrow …

We should buy @gooner1990 and @Harmonic Prospector drinks at the eFest meet! Ace reporters. 

I'm sadly not there this year. However, I was merely riding on the coat tails of @gooner1990who was in the eye of the storm updating the thread whilst maintaining eye contact with Emily only 5ft away whilst I was in the cheap seats at the back. I know who deserves the beer more!

Line up next week would be great! Doubt they’d have all stage timings etc yet but first poster would be brilliant.

Yeah, I took it as initial poster, then the full lineup after balance deadline as per usual. 

[Harmonic Prospector]

She said that they normally can't announce anything major until March due to contracts and other gig commitments of artists. Which I think most of us already know they are restricted by, but good to hear it from the horses mouth. 

[gooner1990]

 

@Harmonic Prospector Not sure I heard that?  - Did you?

[clasher]

I would assume "headliners" means the three 'Mid headliners plus the Legends slot.

he did use the same phrasing at his chats ... shes learnt from a great teacher 🙂 

[northernangel]

I personally think this make Stevie Nicks pretty likely. I alo think SZA but not headlining the Pyramid. I think if either of these, especially Nicks weren't there then the lineup would ahev dropped by now. I still feel Olivia Rodrigo is a big shout.

[NorthernSoul52]

Good to have '25 and' 26 confirmed. Not sure it was ever in doubt.

She responded to a specific question of "Do you see a time where there will be 3 female headliners at Glastonbury?"

And she said something along the lines of "I hope so, but the pool of female artists who could headline right now is limited and more work needs to be done in the industry to support female artists on their journey to that status"

Yep, but didn't say 2025 or 2026!

Thanks for the updates re: lineup news (genuinely exciting!), and sorry to be 'that gal' but... presumably most of the discussion was about women in music, anything interesting that was said about this, not relating to lineup? Would have loved to have gone.

Thanks. Hopefully we don't have a year of "Emily said there'll be 3 female headliners next year" posts on here.....

Surely we're including SZA in the running? Or is the point that she shouldn't be...

sorry this was meant to be a list regarding future headliners regarding the "3 women to headline 25/26"

I'm sure it was just a light hearted joke, but 'get in trouble with my husband' doesn't give powerful woman in the music industry vibes really!
