Still holding out hope for Chappell but it doesn’t feel like there’s room for both her and Charli and I’ll be flabbergasted if they haven’t booked the latter.

Absolutely - Questions & Answers is probably my fave shame the first three albums get left out of there normal set - completely.  Im hoping the fact they did some Infitinty land album shows brings it back to there routes a bit for future setlists  

 

I'd say Glitter and Trauma is the best song from the first 3 albums.

No idea if this is anywhere near likely but thought I’d have a basic go: 

 

PYRAMID: The 1975 / Charli xcx / Snow Patrol 

OTHER: Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds / The Libertines 

 

 

PYRAMID: Olivia Rodrigo / Paramore / TBA (Pulp) 

 

OTHER: Biffy Clyro / Deftones 

 

 

PYRAMID: Sam Fender / Jack White / Alanis Morissette 

 

OTHER: The Prodigy / YUNGBLUD

 

I'd put Paramore below The 1975. 

Yungblud subbing Pyramid. Alanis can only play Friday. Jack would be Saturday sub in my opinion. Charli headlining Other

don’t think they’ll risk filling the Sunday Pyramid lineup with ‘good but niche’ stuff like Jack White again after 2024. also a Deftones and Paramore clash would be very silly nonsense. 

 

i wouldn't see an issue clashing those two.

Not the worst guess but I think Yungblud is in there. On that I would switch Charli and Biffy

Yeah maybe. Although I sort of feel like they wouldn’t be too bothered about having a female OS headliner if four of the top six on the Pyramid were women.

Charli would really benefit from being at night - she will probably have a more dancey show next year.

Ok

 

The 1975 / Paramore / Ed Sheeran

Loyle Carner / Ezra Collective

Liv / Raye / The Script

Prodigy / Courteeners

Fender / Biffy / Elbow / Rod Stewart

Charli xcx / My Bloody Valentine

 

Not a huge fan of the Fender v Charli clash but she definitely makes more sense up against him than Liv or her fiancé’s band.

It's a better guess but Elbow haven't been asked.

Ed Sheeran 3rd down? Where did that come from? Seems unlikely unless in a Churnups type surprise set (is that what you mean?). He’d draw a big crowd though 

[craigcharles420]

Charli should be main stage or just sack Glasto off for R&L who would be right to bite her hand off to headline main stage

Article in the tabloids last month saying he was in talks to play on the Friday, then another article in the same tabloids last week saying The 1975 were the Friday headliners. So just putting two and two together really. Would obviously need to be up against a strong booking on the OS but that’s plausible. 

[CantWaitForGlasto22]

Ah ok. Interesting….!

[Euphoricape]

Is there any way to stop Sheeran being there?

[NorthernSoul52]

Sheeran has back-to-back shows in Stuttgart on the Saturday and Sunday. Not impossible he plays on the Friday but it does read implausible that he might headline.

That's comforting, cheers.

[NorthernSoul52]

Pretty certain, of our major frontrunners, Rodrigo is currently the only one with dates over the weekend itself.

Given shes in for Parklife and APE now - its clear she won't be at R&L

Not really sure where they’d play now. Feels like they’ve been plateauing for quite a while, certainly since they played the Pyramid with that excruciating phone call segment. Woodsies secret slot sounds fine. 
 

I forgot Scissor Sisters too, they’ll probably be  third or fourth down. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Scissor Sisters seem a safe bet to be fifth down on the Saturday, leading into The Script. Several of their arena shows still have shed-loads of tickets to go - namely Manchester at Co-op Live.

 

Alternatively, a high slot on the Other beckons.

[Guz]

Tried my best on this one. Probably to many big fish in here. Some I wish, some I expect and some rumours.

I like the ambition, but if they've somehow found enough dough to book Lady Gaga and The Rolling Stones, I'll eat my hat.

[Stokesy10]

Could someone tell me if there's any info on Stereophonics, or is it just that they're touring and have gaps on GF weekend?

Read something about two festivals in one this year, so yeah.. That's a wish 

[NorthernSoul52]

I'd be surprised if they were able to get that over the line. Not that post-fallow years are necessarily big spenders either!
