I'm not sure you know, the Charli XCX show in 2022 wasn't even close to filling out the tent, so surely there are loads of people who've only just discovered her to suddenly get her to headline status elsewhere.
I also think there's a lot more Glastonbury newcomers with the ticket changes, plus all this hype around Brat Girl Summer and I think putting her on the Other Stage against someone like Neil Young is also asking for trouble.
I'd do neither personally!
I think it was the nature of the event and the standing of the victim that made the news, and I would suggest that, had the victim been of a different ethnicity, the response would have likely been the same.
Think she'd probably want a late afternoon/evening spot on Main but agree she wouldn't be out of place in DH or Marquee. Be great if they got Craig David again as his TS5 set back in 2016 was superb. Had a big crowd that carried on well outside the tent and everyone was really up for it!
QOTSA aside, it's looking like we could be in for a couple of nice co-headliner combinations. Would love to see Chappell followed by Justice and then Charli and Basement Jaxx on the other day. I'm not a fan of Hozier, but appreciate he's a reasonably big name, so stick him on with Vampire Weekend and maybe OATW (to tick the Belgian box) and you've got a pretty strong top end without breaking the bank. My ideal PKP scenario will always be a few biggish bands to headline, rather than a mega name that costs a fortune. Means they can spend more on the rest of the line up and make the other stages as strong as possible.
