I’d say Dua is a headline, not so sure about SZA though. There have been rumours for months that it was Madonna, then it was Stevie Wonder and both dropped out. Word with a friend is that SZA was to headline the Other stage and got bumped upI know I’m middle-aged and probably have little clue what’s ‘big’ among the cool kids nowadays, but is Dua Lipa a ‘headline act’? 🫤
Glastonbury line-up 2024: Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA and Shania Twain top the bill
Country singer Shania Twain will also play the festival's famous "legend slot" on Sunday afternoon.www.bbc.co.uk
I’d actually never even heard of SZAI’d say Dua is a headline, not so sure about SZA though. There have been rumours for months that it was Madonna, then it was Stevie Wonder and both dropped out. Word with a friend is that SZA was to headline the Other stage and got bumped up
I know what you mean, she’s won loads of Grammys, Brits etc but that doesn’t make a headliner. The only real “headliner” there with star power is Coldplay. And the undercard isn’t exactly great either. Shania’s a good pick for the legends slot though!I’d actually never even heard of SZA
I think of Dua Lipa as someone who has released a few averagely nice dance/pop songs, rather than a Glastonbury headliner. Maybe there’s more to her than that.
I thought that too!Well the lineup certainly eases the pain of not getting tickets this year.
Kendal calling 100%I've been lurking on this thread and thinking about a festival for next year to take our two children to (aged 12 and 8). One of our children is disabled so we would need a festival with good access - we would be using a wheelchair. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good family friendly festival that's not on an absolutely massive site, and might be ok with a wheelchair? We have been to Latitude for a few years now which has reasonable access but the access campsite is really close to several stages which is ok during the day but in the evening none of us got any sleep! Ideally we want somewhere close but protected from the noise. And the moon on a stick, so it would seem... I saw some earlier chat on here about Kendal Calling which sounds good, does anyone have any insight into the access here?
I think the issue was that Emily had promised 2 female headliners after the fuck up of last year, she was determined to sign Madonna (hence why she gave the third slot to Coldplay as they play for free)Usually there’s an act headlining that makes me tune into the coverage, but not this year! Shania Twain is a strange pick, I can sort of see the appeal but I’d struggle to name five of her songs.
I’m older than you and whilst I’ve heard of her (she’s massive on Spotify) neither me nor any of our 5 kids (13-28) can name a trackHave I never heard of SZA because I’m old-ish (37) or is she not really that famous?
See the only one that excites me is Shania Twain, used to love her and still know all the words to her songswill enjoy watching her on the tv though.
Think I will give Kendal Calling a try with the kids over the next couple of years.
They tried Stevie Wonder I’ve heard as well. Madonna was meant to be playing Hyde Park alongside Glasto, dropped out, Stevie W replaced her at both then he dropped out. I feel like I would’ve preferred to see Olivia Rodrigo get a leg up or somethingI think the issue was that Emily had promised 2 female headliners after the fuck up of last year, she was determined to sign Madonna (hence why she gave the third slot to Coldplay as they play for free)
But even tho she had the cash Madge bailed at the last min leaving her high and dry, they tried Stevie Nicks which didn’t work and we’ve left with Sza.
I’ll be at the Other Stage for The National and Park for London Grammar, clashes willing maybe a bit of Jamie XX
Stevie Nicks would have been AWESOME!!!I think the issue was that Emily had promised 2 female headliners after the fuck up of last year, she was determined to sign Madonna (hence why she gave the third slot to Coldplay as they play for free)

I’ll be watching Idles instead. I saw them in Belgium last weekend and they deserve that headline slot so much. So happy for themI think the issue was that Emily had promised 2 female headliners after the fuck up of last year, she was determined to sign Madonna (hence why she gave the third slot to Coldplay as they play for free)

We are doing access camping at Kendal this summer so I can definitely let you know!I've been lurking on this thread and thinking about a festival for next year to take our two children to (aged 12 and 8).

Yes please!We are doing access camping at Kendal this summer so I can definitely let you know!
Oh god, did enough of Reading and Leeds when I was youngerI’m older than you and whilst I’ve heard of her (she’s massive on Spotify) neither me nor any of our 5 kids (13-28) can name a track
I’ve been to Kendall calling and didn’t like it, it felt a bit like Reading and Leeds lite, there was a death in the campsite (drugs) and lots of blokes pissing against fences.
Have you looked at Deer Shed? Whilst it doesn’t get the big names, it’s very family friendly and the campsites allow you to pre book pitches, I’ve also done Camp Bestival with the kids which was fun but a pain to get to (don’t know what their new site in Shropshire is like)
You’re doing the lord’s work 🫡The only good thing about the line up for me is that I told my 24yr old that it would drop at 8am this morning and he said I was an idiot, he’s had to text me grovelling!
I have also worked out looking at last years stage times that they still have to announce 4 Pyramid acts, 9 Other Stage, 6 West Holts, 7 Woodsies and 7 Park.
I have far too much time on my hands
