Acts Touring Around Glastonbury 2025

Massive Attack announced for Down the Rabbit Hole in Netherlands a week after Glasto! Other Stage headliner?

[NorthernSoul52]

Would be a very good booking, though not sure if they'd go to top the Other. Definitely one under cover of darkness.

Headlined OS in 2014 btw

Perhaps not as much of a dead cert to headline OS in 2024 but I’ve see SZA headline the Pyramid and Christine headline OS with practically no one there.. anything is possible.
 

Plus their live shows are pretty epic in terms of visuals/ lighting, aligned to GF politically etc, headline majority of European festivals they play. IMO the idea is defo not as stupid as you’re making it out to be with that comment but can see both sides of why they can/ can’t!

I'd have assumed them as a leftfield West Holts shout.

Could work. 
 

do think they are a bit big for that no?

[NorthernSoul52]

Depends who they go up against, but possibly so.

 

Just can't see them as an Other headliner though.

Get Oli down for Bad Life.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

I was gutted when her and Griff both played in 2022 but neither brought out the other for Head on Fire. Time to put that right.

Would imagine we’ll probably get all of these except Sting.

Sucks that they used to book Portishead and Noel Gallagher on the same weekend but decided the Noel Gallagher route was the one they wanted to go down in the long term. 

[Acid_Haze]

All these lineup announcements coming in thick and fast!

IIRC Boardmasters headliners aren’t usually at Glastonbury so hopefully means Raye won’t be appearing

Apart from George Ezra in 2022, Foals in 2019 and Alt-J in 2017 - 2 of which were secret sets funnily enough

Yeah so maybe a Raye secret set at a push. Info on the Prodigy though so that might still happen.

Looking for a G replacement next year and at this rate Imma go to f**king Wimbledon.

[NorthernSoul52]

Andy Murray to sub Peter Kay.

SZA and CATQ both bump ups to be fair.

 

Glastonbury is a festival that is very suited for Massive Attack crowd demographic wise.

 

Plus its been a while - it would do well off built up demand

Agree. Still a WH headliner at bare minimum.

Again? Felt like a one time thing really. 

Which one, 1999 or 2015?
