I wouldn't say that a band selling out the o2, the NEC, Glasgow, Leeds, Cardiff, Bournemouth and Belfast after headlining Download was someone playing the small arenas and someone who will drop to smaller venues. Architects are my favourite band and even I would admit taht the floor was half full at most when they were on.

 

Biffy won't be there anyway. They are playing Southside and Hurricane in Germany IOW weekend. My guess is that they will headline The Other at Glastonbury.

 

I don't think they'll go down to smaller venues except for these albums show gigs.

 

I still think they'll be a sub of the Pyramid again purely due to I feel Other headliner basically admits defeat in my opinion. I don't think when you look at the options they've even chosen for Other headline the last 3 years that Biffy fit it. Like I don't think QOTSA would ever be a booking Glastonbury would make for the Pyramid and they had the chance to offer sub instead of Other again.

 

But I see Queens, The National and Foals even in 22 just a different kind of band.

 

I would still go with maybe Charli XCX, The Prodigy and Nick Cave.

 

I think Biffy Clyro, C&S and a grime/rapper artists of some sort will do sub. I think not putting C&S on the Pyramid would be a mistake. I don't see any of the artists I've mentioned selling out MK Bowl and not many have tours as big as they have.

Do we know the time when they announce?

it's often been early morning in the past 

[bingobear]

it's an ok set of potential headliners  will hope for someone decent on second stage if it's the phonics . I find them so dull these days, though a set entirely from the first 2 albums may tempt me

Biffy subbed before when they were in the arenas so it's definitely a possibility. They're definitely big enough to top this as well though.

It’s Stereophonics, Sting & Justin Timberlake from what I’ve heard. 

 

Sting tour 2025 is a registered domain, dates go live at the end of next week. 

Half his recent sets are old Police songs which is a bit of a relief.

Sting drops his tourdates for the summer bit by bit in the next few months. Would be a surprise if he puts out all the dates at once.

Justin 'Prince of Pop' Trousersnake is playing a Live Nation festival in Norway the week before. The stars may well be aligning.

Neither really feel like IOW acts in 2024 tbh.

 

As far as I know, it’s just the three headliners I said being announced on Monday.

chappell is gonna be finishing an album so I dont think shows are really in the near future. She is burnt out. Try to tour for 18 months straight and see what it does to you when you add stalkers and everything else.

That's not the worst announcement. I'd watch potentially 10 of those. Phonics are definitely the weakest headliner there for me but I would be apposed to it. Teddy Swims looks out of place.

[NorthernSoul52]

Well blow me down with a trouser press and call me Martin.

 

You can always see where the money goes for that Isle of Wight headliner, but there's got to be close to a dozen-and-a-half cross-generational singalongs between Sting and Stereophonics too.

 

That's not a terrible set of headliners.

[bingobear]

it's not bad at all   plenty I wouldn't necessarily pay to see at their own shows that I can tick off

[49Lawson]

If nothing else ends up floating my boat next year I could definitely cobble together a weekend there, never seen Sting or JT so it could be fun to cross both off the list too.

They did it in 2019 and still are i'd say

Certainly a similar size to phonics at least. next year perhaps

Agree with this, overall value wise spread over the weekend looks a good line up and a little bit for everyone. As a first announcement there is certainly more there than I was personally expecting.

Do day tickets go on sale much later then weekend tickets? Any idea when?

[sisco]

Faithless are closing Friday btw
