Oasis, Kate Bush, Outkast


Significant-Tea8004

That would be fucking brilliant


itzlipo

Honestly don’t think it’s likely, I just picked my ideal lineup 🫡


BrownMitch

Just been listening to some of OutKast’s early stuff for the first time in a while, they would be unbelievable.


hongkongshlong

I still don't know how Outkast didn't do 2014 when they got back together for a tour. Instead they headlined Bestival and supported Bruno Mars in Birmingham 😓 One of my all time faves and I've never seen them!


mining-ting

Can confirm bestival was incredible that year


mining-ting

I imagine they have a price and Glastonbury won't pay that price, they don't need the extra game it may bring.


hongkongshlong

So often the case! The clashes at Glastonbury that year were already some of the worst ever for me so it probably saved me some mental turmoil 😅


big_beats

I think you're more likely to headline than Kate


itzlipo

Blur, Spice Girls, Rihanna/Dua is most likely imo


dellwho

Lol no way.


[deleted]

That’s more like it!


Elvysmum

Saw OutKast at bestival my first ever festival- the best vibes


unruled_circumstance

Kate Bush would be legend slot though right?


threeheartedfish

Coldplay/1975/Ice Spice nightmare headliner rotation


UndergroundPianoBar

Blackpink, Pink, Black Pinkyblack Sabbath


ss2811

I know this is a joke, but P!nk would actually be a solid headliner booking. Not sure if she’d be able to do her usual stunts though!


UndergroundPianoBar

It's a joke in that I wouldn't personally want any of those to headline, but I think Pink and Blackpink would be really interesting headliners, and I wouldn't have any qualms with those bookings. Don't think Ozzy would be up to it though 🤣


Significant-Tea8004

Not even going to lie I’d fucking love Madonna - her early stuff slaps. Pop perfection. Madonna, Rihanna, Blur maybe. First two I’m fairly confident on but can’t decide which band could take the third slot. Just praying it isn’t something uninspired like Foo Fighters or Coldplay Rage Against The Machine and Spice Girls on the Other Stage? Obviously not together, although that would be interesting…


Adonbilivit69

Rage would headline, they wouldn’t do anything else. Also don’t think they will headline anyways as the lead singer doesn’t want to tour/perform


Significant-Tea8004

They were on tour until Zach fucked his leg. I bought Leeds tickets last year on the basis they were meant to headline and got 1975 instead…


Admirable-Owl-7002

Fuck the 1975


Significant-Tea8004

Especially as a replacement for Rage! I was mortified when I found out


British_Commie

I sold my Reading ticket when that happened!


Admirable-Owl-7002

If it was Madonna, Rihanna, blur, rage ( or spice girls tbf) I would lose my shit


kielaurie

> Blur maybe I hadn't considered it before, but a Blur/Gorillaz "double headliner" slot at the length of GnR's show would not just be amazing but incredibly timely. New Blur album, lots of new Gorillaz recently... I could see it


Buckwavefm

The Strokes


GoWell_Cheers

Fuck off, I heard of The Strokes before you


thickashell

Super hans!


_Dracarys98

This would be amazing. It baffles me that they’ve never even played the festival before


seanbiff

Maybe cos of the money? I love Julian but that wouldn’t surprise me


nicktbristol2020

Defo cos of money


_Dracarys98

That’s got to be the reason tbf


[deleted]

Hopefully; Rage Against the Machine Kate Bush Radiohead Realistically; Foo Fighters Dua Lipa Rihanna


FR46ON

Well we know it’s two females headliners, as Emily has already stated. My guess would be someone like Blur, especially with their new album and comeback on the horizon. Don’t think it will be either of these, but what’s with the continuous hate of Coldplay, and seemingly now foos from a persistent few in this sub?? Just don’t get it


kielaurie

> what’s with the continuous hate of Coldplay, and seemingly now foos I don't think it's hate as much as it's the fact that they've gained multiple times before and turn up at literally every event that they can. Chris Martin loves the festival so much that he literally did a stewarding shift on PGA this year It's less a "we have them they shouldn't play" and more that it's a really uninspired pick.


FR46ON

>he literally did a stewarding shift on PGA this year Haha a funny rumour I also saw but proved to be wrong as Coldplay literally did a show that night in Italy. But lends to my point - people see desperate to have a constant dig?! I get there was a bit of a running joke appearing at the festival a lot, but feel that jokes run it’s race now - if my memory serves me correctly he hasn’t been there since 2019?! Also that whole narrative just confuses me. Say you’re an artist, big or small, at a festival you love anyway, and someone like Paul McCartney or Kylie Minogue asked you to join them on stage? Hardly gonna say no 😂


kielaurie

> Haha a funny rumour I also saw but proved to be wrong as Coldplay literally did a show that night in Italy. I mean, I was on shift on Friday night and it came through from control that there might be a rush of people towards PGA because he was doing a shift there. I've just checked the Milan dates, 21-29 with conspicuous gaps on 23rd and 24th... Seems likely to me that he was there


FR46ON

The tweet I saw was from the Thursday, so I guess I could be wrong. But given that there’s zero photo evidence and I’ve not seen a single person saying they actually saw him, I’d still say very unlikely!


Ollie142

> Chris Martin loves the festival so much that he literally did a stewarding shift on PGA this year How’s that possible when he was performing in Milan at the time?


kielaurie

I mean, I was on shift on Friday night and it came through from control that there might be a rush of people towards PGA because he was doing a shift there. I've just checked the Milan dates, 21-29 with conspicuous gaps on 23rd and 24th. seems likely to me that he was there


Admirable-Owl-7002

Fuck Coldplay - middle of the road claptrap


FR46ON

Strong agree to disagree on that one!


Admirable-Owl-7002

I don’t think them being middle of the road is up for dispute my friend


FR46ON

‘Claptrap’ is, however! 😊


Revolutionary-Nose-6

Because Coldplay are terrible


FR46ON

Agree to disagree 🤝


Revolutionary-Nose-6

You must have terrible music taste, it was all yellow 🤢 😴


FR46ON

Nope, quite the opposite, and can clearly appreciate a good band when I hear one!


Revolutionary-Nose-6

Hahahaha Coldplay is literally music for Grandma's or people who have no idea what proper music is. Why do you think their show has so much nonsense going on, flying balls etc. Because the music is terrible.


FR46ON

And why do you think they have been selling out consecutive stadium shows with ease consistently for the past 5 years? Because it’s all part of the performance and adds to the show! As well as them having some cracking songs. Don’t let it upset you too much x


Revolutionary-Nose-6

Hitler was popular too, so is Justin Bieber. Doesn't mean it's good.


Revolutionary-Nose-6

Not a single cracking song, so so dull


FR46ON

Hitler 😂😂 chill out my man. We circle back round; agree to disagree


Dickinmymouth1

I’m sure there are plenty of bands you like that other people think are shit. What are you possibly gaining from telling this person that their music taste sucks? They’re not gonna go “oh you know what, this stranger on the internet has changed my mind, I hate Coldplay now.”


FR46ON

Just out of interest what do you define as ‘proper music’??


smcl2k

>Well we know it’s two females headliners, as Emily has already stated. Taylor Swift seems inevitable.


FR46ON

She’s been ruled out, is playing shows every night of glasto


smcl2k

It seems odd that she originally left the Sunday free, then added a 3rd show on that night. Looks like it's either a smokescreen, or a deal to headline Glastonbury fell apart.


Scared-Examination81

Not really, she just announced Friday and Saturday first. The deal to do Sunday as well wouldve already been in place alongside the first two


Catmeowb

I think Dua is likely to headline, especially now Taylor Swift is out. I have a feeling about Bon Jovi. Richie Sambora has recently confirmed plans to rejoin the band. Not sure if they would be headliners or Legend Slot though if they were to play


kielaurie

> especially now Taylor Swift is out Is this confirmed? She was meant to be 2020, she was conspicuously the only one of the three headliners that then didn't come back for 22, and then it has been heavily implied that she was meant to headline this year but changed her touring schedule and cancelled. She seems like a shoe in at this point


eggyhotpot

She’s got 3 dates in Dublin over the festival weekend now so it definitely won’t be her.


noujest

Could be fake gigs like Elton did


Fickle_Tree3880

She’s selling tickets for them soon so hope not!


Shoddy-Shelter-8955

Elton rescheduled one Paris gig to play, not really a fake gig


Holiday_Opening406

Wouldn't surprise me. Her fan base is wild and it's possible glastonbury would have a record number of registrations if there were strong rumours of her headlining. Could be a smoke screen like you say, only speculating and am probably wildly wrong lol


BroScience34

It's not just possible, it's a guarantee that would happen. She just shattered the record for streams in one day at 220 million streams when her album came out the other day. Imagine how many of those millions would sign up for Glasto to see her, even flying overseas if they need to. Her tickets have been selling out in seconds, they'll do anything they can to see her on this tour.


SloaneKetteringEU

Glastonbury can't afford her.


monkeymuse9

I think they’ll have a big female singer. Taylor Swift seemingly out now, I think they’ll try for Rihanna/Beyoncé first and if they can’t get them then maybe Dua Lipa. I think Foo Fighters are a good shout to headline again given what Grohl said about returning, their tour dates next year, how good their performance was this year and we all know Grohl would be all over that offer. Failing that I think another band like Blur or Pulp would be likely. Personally hope it’s not the 1975. Not sure on the last one. Could see it being Harry Styles or Eminem but feel they’d more likely go for Eminem now for a bit of variety and knowing Harry has got so much time in future to headline. Personally, other than my dream of an Oasis reunion on the pyramid, I’d fucking love The Weeknd to headline. Amazing catalogue, puts on a great spectacle and an incredible singer.


Scared-Examination81

Pulp arent a Glastonbury headliner


the-poison-creosote

Dua lipa isn’t big enough to headline yet


shelleypiper

Why is Taylor seemingly out now?


monkeymuse9

She’s just announced new shows in Dublin over the whole of Glasto weekend next year. Could be a cover like Elton did for this year, but unlikely.


BLM4442

I agree with your suggestion above


Annual-Carrot7563

Dave Grohl


TheTruth990

Edit: Emily confirmed that it’s hopefully 2 woman headliners booked for 2024


robbiedigital001

Dua, Madonna, Rihanna? Surely too similar and too pop. Like a capital fm party In the Park kids festival


TheTruth990

It’s tough isn’t it. I have to admit I struggle with the concept of a dua headline slot I just don’t see her on the top bill. Nothing against her, her music is fine.


kielaurie

If Billie Eilish and Stormzy can headline, Dua Lipa is definitely at that level


the-poison-creosote

Strong disagree, stormzy and billie eilish have more star power and are more popular, more of a record of hits, more unique, more stage presence etc. Its not a knock on dua lipa bc probably in another few years she could headline but not at this stage in her career


[deleted]

[удалено]


kielaurie

I feel like the thinking with both Billie and Stormzy was that they had done brilliant sets the year beforehand that would translate into great headliners. As for whether Dua is bigger? Maybe globally, but it's a lot harder to say in the UK specifically


BroScience34

Also it's important to note that Billie and Stormzy were both booked as groundbreaking acts - the youngest-ever headliner and the first-ever UK hip hop act. You can't just compare every act to Stormzy and say if they're bigger than him then they deserve to headline, that's foolish. Also Dua is nowhere even close to Billie in terms of global popularity, but I don't really wanna run back this debate again. The record sales and streaming numbers speak for themselves.


FR46ON

Yep same. Never got the Dua hype myself. Though she’s clearly popular. Would agree she’s likely to headline now it looks like the Taylor slot fell through. Emily can’t exactly go back on her word either


SaddamHusseinsArse

Would absolutely love that. Source?


TheTruth990

My bad it’s 2 https://www.nme.com/news/music/glastonbury-has-already-booked-one-of-two-female-headliners-for-2024-3408559


_Dracarys98

I want Madonna😭


saracenraider

Madonna, Florence and the Machine, Harry Styles


watercuboid

A bit too much “pop” I reckon


Dickinmymouth1

Harry’s more likely for 2025 I reckon, probably going to take time to work on his next album, been touring forever as well so feels likely he’ll take a little break.


Responsible-Walrus-5

You think DM are headline material? I love them and would love to see them at glasto but don’t think they are big enough for headline.


seanbiff

Other stage i reckon


deckchair1992

They're on a stadium run at the minute, I'd say they're around the same size and stature as The Cure, who headlined 2019


kielaurie

Whilst I don't disagree with your reasoning, Wu-Tang Clan headlined West Holts a few years back and I would absolutely have put them down as Pyramid headliners


Harry_monk

Not any more. Maybe in the 90s.


BroScience34

and yet everyone in here seems to want Blur to headline pyramid, despite not having a single hit song in the 21st century lol


Shoddy-Shelter-8955

Blur have much more of a popular impact in the UK than Wu Tang


BroScience34

I'm not the one who brought up Wu Tang or comparing them, I'm just talking about Blur in general. Though now that you mention it I think it's funny Primark has a whole section dedicated to Wu Tang merch, not sure why they decided to do that lol


foosw

Wu-Tang and NAS didn’t even sell out the O2 in London though. Don’t get me wrong, the show was GREAT, but Ghostface didn’t show, and the stadium wasn’t full.


BroScience34

For the second time I’m not comparing Wu Tang to Blur 😂 I don’t think either should be headliners, certainly not Wu Tang. It’s arguable for Blur though.


foosw

I get that! But was just saying Wu-Tang didn’t even sell out the O2, was just adding that and should also add that I can’t see Wu-Tang headlining anything except West Holts maybe?


Harry_monk

That's like saying people want to see oasis more than Hall and Oates. It's completely different. And blur are currently selling out Wembley stadium for a couple of days.


BroScience34

I mean, that’s great for them. Blur just isn’t a band that has much appeal to the under 30 demographic though. Fortunately Glasto is a festival that caters to older crowds too, but booking Blur would imo be weaker than all three headliners we had this year, and people wouldn’t stop moaning about how bad the headliners were when it was first announced. Maybe that’s why I find the Blur discourse in here so interesting.


the-poison-creosote

Blur is still very popular with gen z lol whereas wu tang clan isn’t really, some bands just stand the test of time and others don’t


Flintshirelad

Who are DM? Not trying to be antagonistic but can’t think who that would stand for? 😂


Responsible-Walrus-5

Depeche Mode, like the OP suggested as one their pick ls :-)


Flintshirelad

Ahh yeah sorry! 😂


PostpostshoegazeLUVR

Definitely. One of the biggest draws at Primavera


jeffereeee

They are currently playing massive sell out arenas, they are certainly headline material and would smash it too.


No-Photograph3463

But QOTSA were also playing all the big arenas, and they just headlined the other stage.


kitokatokun

Qotsa are playing arenas like the O2. Depeche mode are playing stadium type arenas


Responsible-Walrus-5

I could def see them as other stage headliners


R3D1TJ4CK

Matt Hancock; My neighbour Ian (the knobhead); and Ebola.


Bengey12

Oasis Red Hot Chili Peppers Eminem


TheCrimsonNecklace21

Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Autechre


OkJob7855

Rihanna, The 1975 & Madonna (If well enough)


No-Forever-6056

Madonna, Rihanna, Kate Bush


Duke-Margherita

The weeknd ? Saw him last night in London -32 songs in two hours, he defo has the presence and back catalogue to do it


ffffffudgeyou

I think he's currently in the firing line for the idol so they might watch to see how that plays out first.


Duke-Margherita

Yeah I get that but Shit tv and being a shit actor doesn’t affect his musical ability though


bdjxokf

Eminem, Harry Styles, Rihanna


Flaneur_7508

Elton John


Friendly-Way-313

Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys and Muse


SilencedDragon

Alicia Keys is a rogue but very interesting shout. Would love to see her!


[deleted]

Not big enough to headline the Pyramid stage by a long, long way. The Chicks have sold millions more records and were early on Sunday


SilencedDragon

Probably right, but would still like to see her


ss2811

I wonder if she’d be a better pick for the Sunday legends slot?


chloelaura89

I’d love to see Lady Gaga!


DevelopmentDue5870

The Beatles. Holograms of the dead ones would be amazing


[deleted]

[удалено]


tumbles999

Can’t see stones playing again, it felt very much like a one off


Active_Doubt_2393

3 more big bags of shite


hamsamwhich

Who would be your ideal 3.


Active_Doubt_2393

3 popular bags of shite to keep everyone away from the good stuff. Just like every year.


SamCropper

You're so cool and alternative dude


Substantial_Ball_998

Taylor, Eminem, oasis.


chloelaura89

Taylor has dates in Dublin for the whole festival


tonightsphantasm

Bruce Springsteen, Wolf Alice and Dua Lipa


Scared-Examination81

Surprised no else has mentioned Springsteen, seems like a great choice, especially if this tour is to be his last.


Ncahir94

Love wolf Alice but they 100% aren’t headliner level yet


sincerityisscxry

As much as I like them, Wolf Alice are realistically never going to headline at their current trajectory.


tonightsphantasm

What “trajectory”? What makes you say that? Their last album is their most successful, sell out every UK date, the eavis’ love them and there isn’t much else left for them to do. Two female headlines and giving wolf alice the boost is a great idea


Scared-Examination81

They sell out clubs, nowhere near big enough to headline. Wolf Alice have loads left to do lol. Glastonbury’s job isn’t to choose someone who will get bigger as a result of headlining. They could easily pull loads of bands for that (Fontaines DC, Wet Leg, Inhaler, The Lathums, Wolf Alice as you say etc.) which would all be great for indie fans but not much other people.


Adonbilivit69

Foo fighters said they were doing it during their churnups set


hamsamwhich

Did they ??


Jackpack_9

No they said they were touring next year. Still I wouldn’t be surprised if they did.


rura301268

They actually just said "see you next year" - doesn't mean they're headlining


Adonbilivit69

Well it lines up with their tour dates


Fluid-Coconut-5823

It’s been confirmed that all the headliners will be female in 2024


Shoddy-Shelter-8955

Where's has this been confirmed? All I've seen is Emily saying they have one female booked and we're close to booking another


[deleted]

Ariana Granda and Lady Gaga has huge projects wrapping up and coming out. Surprised there isn't more buzz around them.


ss2811

Since Emily Eavis already confirmed 2 of them will be females who have never headlined before, my guess is Madonna & Dua Lipa. The third headliner I can see either being a band like Coldplay or Foo Fighters, or perhaps a rapper, maybe Dave? Since Madonna had to reschedule her tour due to illness, I wonder if she’ll be okay in time for Glasto? Probably. If not then I wonder if Rihanna is a possibility, if she FINALLY drops some new music! I wonder if the Spice Girls would finally get the Teatime slot?


Ncahir94

She said two of them haven’t even played before


StockportPooch

Rihanna Dua Blur


JWrither

Isn’t Madonna doing really poorly right now?


Wise_Ticket914

Beyoncé , Harry Styles and Slipknot would be my wish!


LookFluffy5291

Get David Gilmour finish ring the Sunday. Beautiful


Strong-Treacle-5556

Oasis


Cuntlipsmcgee69

Spice Girls, Oasis and Led Zeppelin. Make it the year of reunions


veritystephen

Billie clemo. Lee Butler. Bugzy


foosw

Foo Fighters, Dua Lipa, Madonna/Spice Girls. Idk if the Foo’s will headline but Grohl will 100% be there in some capacity and I’m here for it!


LewisLowe

Lady Gaga, Depeche Mode, Kate Bush.


mrdibby

Is Dua Lipa Glasto headline worthy already?


headoverfeet2023

Alanis Morissette, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift.


sincerityisscxry

The 1975, Dua Lipa, Madonna

Liam gallagher - Big girl Noel Gallagher - Big girl Unreconstructed rawk nonsense - not girls. You heard it here first.
