Not sure how pink could work when most of her show seems to be being swung about on a bungee cord 

I'd hope that with 12 months preparation, she could figure out how to perform the songs standing on the stage.

If Olivia Rodrigo was booked to headline next year would you all be all angry or be cool with it?

 

I'd be fine with it but it won't be happening. Not next year anyway. She's not coming to Europe two summers running I wouldn't have thought. 

 

She will 1000% percent headline though one year. 

[prestonmike]

Every time ive flicked over to the pyramid, she just seems to be shouting random stuff over a backing track

Plenty of room at the National too.

So weird. Would have thought Glasto is their festival, demographic wise? 

[Punksnotdead]

Anyway, f**k the size of crowds - The National are f**king EPIC!!!

Looks a decent crowd in TV, but its hard to tell from the TV, maybe its filled up since the park finished early?

[FuzzyDunlop]

Sadly, I do think there is a lack of female headliners who can pull the crowd...

 

T Swift (£££)

O Rodrigo (Not around)

Pink (££)

Madonna (£££)

 

Who left could pull a crowd?

Saw her at Sziget. She managed just fine!

That was weird. Might have been that he agreed to sub than they didn’t think he was big enough to headline. Between ticket sales, banger count and the old ‘working their way up the slots’ factor, he ticks every box. Definitely think we’re getting either him or Fender next year, maybe both. 

[Gashead86]

Fake empire sounding absolutely glorious 

[matrainertje]

The National are absolutely smashing it. Good lord I love this.

Paramore. Or any number of early-2000s nostalgia bands, judging by what keeps happening on West Holts. Hell, Miley probably earned the shot with that stormer of a set the other year.

You've just reminded me, so did I!

He headlined in 2019, subbing this year or last year I can’t remember. Weird.

Fender yes, Ezra no imo

Rihanna and Beyonce would be in that group but also £££ and don’t know if Rihanna tours anymore

Presumably Paramore had a contractual obligation with swifty so couldn’t play even if they wanted to

This year, but they’re way overdue a go at some point. 

[Benjsh]

And just like that..... Glastonbury was saved by the incredible Justice. 

[ICESTONE]

the National singer's gone off for a beer

[FrogLobster]

Paramore have barely played any fests anywhere in the UK. Last time was co headlining R&L a decade ago.

 

Although now their 20 year record contract/management deal has ended and they are seemingly going more independent then perhaps Glasto is on the cards; Other headliner? Pyramid sub? The Era support tour is only going to be a good thing for them in terms of exposure to a more mainstream audience; and coupled with their recent album that has more aligned with Bloc Party and Foals than it does with their earlier Warped Tour/Slam Dunk contemporaries.

I'm not sure TS is a £££ issue.

 

She's clearly savvy enough to know that Glasto is going to be a bunch of great column inches. Especially with the worldwide streaming.

 

The thing is she doesn't need it right now.
