Could they announce another Sabrina Carpenter show?

Hugh Jackman is there the day after so it would have to be for the following weekend.

[NorthernSoul52]

So, we've got two slots left, and both presumably for the Friday and Saturday of the final weekend.

 

Given ELO's presence, and the general younger-skewing bookings so far - Rodrigo, Kahan, Bryan, Carpenter - I'm expecting somebody else for the older crowd here.

 

Neil Young? Stevie Wonder? Both would be a bit late for the supposed Glastonbury tandem though.

Or kpop?

I'd have assumed, given how they tend to like announcements far in advance, we'd have had a K-pop announcement now if there was one coming. But maybe not.

And just as you say that K-pop band Twice are set to announce a world tour…

Rolling Stones maybe? There's talk of them being in the UK next year with a New Year announcement.

 

No idea if it would be a bit samey given they were there not all that long ago.

Stones would play two shows minimum. And I understood the last two slots are for two artists. They‘ll be at a stadium.

Sounds more likely.

 

I'm assuming non-Wembley for the Stones given how many things they've got announced so far for 2025. But then that's what I thought before Guns N Roses and Linkin Park announced they were there so f**k do I know.

 

As for BST, maybe this might be where the Sheeran washes up given his curious lack of UK shows for 2025... and tbf, he is free that weekend where we think there's the two extra spots waiting to be filled.

What about Bruno Mars?

 

it seems to have been years since he last played in the UK. Someone like him could sell out 60 + thousand I’d say

Does anyone know when they usually announce support acts after the initial announcement? Being asked by my daughter (following Xmas present) about Olivia Rodrigo specifically, should we be expecting Last Dinner Party and Girl in red as second and third on the bill? Cheers

LDP will be 2nd, GiR will be 3rd on bill. BST tends to only announce extra bands at the very last minute - rarely do you get any big names added unless the event isn't selling well and they need something to boost sales. Given OR gig is sold out, they could add a load of unheard names a few days before the event and be done with it. BST is all about making the biggest profit possible, hence why the follow-on announcements to the line-up are never as good as the first announcement. I imagine LDP and GiR will get a decent amount on time on stage so will still be a good event even if there is only one more band added to the main stage and four unknowns to the second stage.
