Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2025

[sildante]

Massive Attack would easily headline Other Stage surely. They headline or sub every festival they play at worldwide - that includes in 2024 and 2025. If they're going to get a demotion at any festival, it's not going to be on home turf (or close enough). Was at the show in Bristol earlier this year and I thought it was incredible, despite the shite weather.

They just aren’t that big a deal anymore though. Surely better to put them on West Holts where they’ll be appreciated than have them embarrassed by playing to an half-empty Other field.

They did one UK show of what like 40k after a while off and it didn't sell out.

 

Other stage headliners have massively stepped up recently sales wise - often they have a stadium show.

 

They could do WH or Other, I think other is more likely but its not 'easily' anymore. Maybe 'easily' in that they are aligned well with glasto and have good history with them, but size wise not so much.

 

IF they did WH it would definitely be very well attended, as would other.

I know it would lack a light show but I'd love for Massive Attack to sub like LCD did this year

[CR77]

Sex Pistols + Frank Carter playing two gigs during Glasto... Tons of Rock in Norway on Thursday 26th June and Jera on Air in the Netherlands on Friday 27th June.

 

So doesn't rule them out for Glastonbury... does this make them more or less likely though?!  I'm not sure! (and they are already doing Download)

Sunday on the Other or Woodsies, I'd imagine.

At the time of that late bail in 2019, they gave her a lifetime ban and said "She will never be booked to play the Isle of Wight again.”

 

Or are you referring to the fact she cancelled again in 2021 after being initially down for it before it was pushed back by 3 months due to covid?

Example...😂

[MilkyJoe]

Can definitely see The Lathums returning to the farm next year, new album out in March and touring.

[NorthernSoul52]

The Lathums genuinely appeared to be everywhere this year. Absolutely relentless schedule.

You can always rely on IOW to put out the worst lineup of the year 😂

Jess Glynne repeatedly being booked there is almost comedy gold by now.

This would 100% be ruined by talkers waiting for the headliner
