As in the Other? She'd pack it out based on current metrics - a crush almighty, one would presume.

 

That being said, I cannot quite tell how much her appeal has made over here. I know she's big - I just don't know if she's big like she is in America. Hard to gauge without those festival slots doing stupendous crowd numbers.

No I meant she's the second headliner at Reading

Can't see them booking Fender and Oasis for the same joint, and there's a big question if the latter will even make it to 2027. I'd assume once their own shows are cleared in 2025, there will be some festival dates in 2026 but not too many.

Little Simz one I had forgotten about despite the mahoosive crowd she had this year. An oversight there - hope she doesn't drop off in the interim too much.

Little Simz kind of really deserves it - While im sure some would say she is not big enough - every step up so far she has absolutely smashed.  Her last few albums the quality has been so consistently hight.   She won over a lot a Coldplay crowd this year that really was not her normal demo.

 

It would be absolutely fantastic for someone who's career has grown up the festival to get the nod. It would be Special. 

 

Not sure what stage she first played but she was around on some very small slots in Silver Hayes 10 or so years ago

The xx need to come back first, but not opposed to it.

They have been in the studio a week a month for a little while now (from Jamie's recent Zane Lowe interview). Obviously he is out on the road for his own thing now but I can easily see them getting the album out in good time for a 2027 headline slot from it.

They won't headline. Will always be a strong option to sub/headline Other whenever they're about, though.

See, the festival likes 'em. If they managed to land enough of a sales leg to be up there - arenas and the like - then why the hell not.

 

But as it stands, so many above them in the pecking order.

Can't see Swifty doing Glasto anytime soon

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not this decade I wouldn't have thought.

Collaborations Don't Work and Piss Off are also delightful.

Also very good.

Has Ariana Grande ever been in the conversation - seems to be an act you would have thought would be on the G's radar.

Oasis, Blur, Pulp? 😂 You never know.

[NorthernSoul52]

I seem to recall there was Grande talk at one point.

 

It's weird. I've kind of always gauged her at the Katy Perry level, which means I've never quite had her in the talk before, so to speak.
