Charlie XCX, The 1975 and Olivia Rodrigo headliners.
Wouldn't be my choices.
both my girls love Olivia Rodrigo, going to Dublin to watch her and Hyde park
to be fair to her, her Guts tours will be touring for 18 months and while its a arena tour, still playing to 15 K to 25 K a night and around 1 & 1/2 Million people ( mainly girls and gay lads ( Deffo not the middle aged football fan ) looking at the people going to the gig I took them to in Birmingham last year ) they enjoyed it though
the other 2, notarially heard of them
Charli XCX was massive globally during 2024.Originally Posted by blue matt
At the risk of coming across all Seymour Skinner, that seems like an incredibly shit lineup to me
What!!!! no Kyliey, no Metallica, no Bronski beat... I'd rather pay 5000 quid to the Fyre festival
Used to be one hell of a festival…..
Here we go, another (xxxx insert name of obscure band no one has ever heard of) would have been better thread.
The xx are pretty good!
They’ll draw a crowd.
They are ok, but i prefer XXX no pun intended. Which is there first album btw
Hasn't been a decent festival since about '86. '89 was the last time I attended and could see by then it's slide into mediocrity.
Nope never heard of any of them, so I asked my sons & daughter in law, still a total blank.

Now this was a lineup
It was, but scarily was a generation ago, and there's a new generation who like newer music.
yeah that's always happening - but also the festival lineups have become a lot more mainstream.
back in the day there were people who went to indie festivals who listened to this kind of music, and there were people who listened to dance music and went to dance festivals and people who listened to chart music and went to radio 1 big weekend etc.
nowadays there doesn't seem to be those "tribes" any more.
yes always been the case and i like how you use the word 'tribes '
don't forget us 'tribes ' that still follow the MOD and Punk scene . Scooter rallys are still very popular and the Rebellion and Scarborough punk festivals still attract a decent audience in the UK .
music . fashion and sub cultures have always evolved but will another one ever happen again ?
Those dance festivals were called raves!
indeed
Nothing reveals the average age of this board quite like music festival lineups
Wow just needed to be sponsored by Carlsberg instead.
You'd probably like Brat, even at your ageyes always been the case and i like how you use the word 'tribes '

Because there aren't any bands, and music is full of private school kids and nepo babies
that may be the case - but 20 years ago someone with a great pop album under their belt wouldn't be getting close to the glastonbury main stageYou'd probably like Brat, even at your age
Yeah - the way people consume music has obviously changed and that seems to have given more power to the big record labels to push their chart acts.
When I was my kids age or a couple of years older I was very much into music - most of my disposable income went on albums, or going to gigs and i consumed everything i could about it ravenously.
I just don't see that from my kids or any of their friends - If they were as into music but just liked a bunch of new bands that i didn't get then that would be great - just a new generation finding their own thing.
However now their main interaction with music is what's going on in the background of tiktok videos.
Its possible they'll get into music as well in a couple of years i guess, but at the moment there isn't the same type of interest.
Im not saying that's a bad thing - as they have all kinds of other media to consume that we never did, just it seems to have changed.
She's been around for roughly a decade to be fair
Not my cup of tea but Glastonbury's thing over the past few years has been broad appeal, hence booking the likes of her and Olivia Rodrigo as well as Neil Young to headline, though this crop of headliners (Neil Young aside) do look more suited to Reading than Glastonbury
