is this madonna you mean? how do you know when they pulled out? 2023 wasn't that dissimilar anyway with taylor or Rhianna clearly not working late on. I'm not denying that of the people on the line up already SZA was the best/ only choice but clearly they have scrambled before to find someone new last minute such as The Who or GnR. why does someone already on the roster need to fill the spot? why not that same approach the previous year with Lizzo or LDR? Dunno why you all seem so reluctant to admit that they seemed keen to have 2 female headliners this year. Seems obvious to me. -
They're doing an album launch show in London you can get in a ballot for: https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2024/the-cure-perform-radio-2-6-music Really manifesting Green Day / The Cure / Billie Eilish / Pearl Jam for this year's RW! -

Oh, I won't argue with that. But at the same time, the fly in the ointment there is Stevie Wonder. If he was indeed the replacement for Madonna, then it still would have been just the one female headliner. I certainly think there was a notion to book more diversely. -

They booked her to headline other (and yes it was a mess but they couldn't have forseen that) Yeah absolutely, but what I'm saying is that in 2024 there would have been some sort of alternative to SZA who was male and a bigger ticket shifter ( think KoL or something) but they chose to go with SZA that year because she is female. They clearly changed approach between 2023 and 2024 and it was due to perceived criticism the earlier year. -

As Incident says, of any of the other acts on the roster to move up to fill a gap in the headliners she was the obvious choice. She was also headlining BST and Primavera, so its not like the G were the only festival who thought she was in the headlining pool. And that's before you look at her numbers and general cachet. We're there optics involved? Maybe. But they weren't the only factor. That it didn't work out is a shame, but I think the chess move had a sound basis
