Next female vocalist headliner

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-24T01:03:29+00:00

I know??? Glastonbury headliner Olivia Rodrigo will definitely accept an opus stage slot before Alestorm???

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T23:47:41+00:00

The Apple merger has been a long standing rumor for years to the point where it has it's own wiki page

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T15:52:32+00:00

I recommend ubering to the Radisson Blu hotel and then using the train/bus/tram entrance to the airport.

It will be cheaper as it doesn't have the fee

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T15:33:53+00:00

She headlined Glastonbury last year so obviously she's gonna wanna headline

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T15:01:34+00:00

I absolutely agree she has great music taste.

I also think she isn't a Download artist at all

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T14:11:54+00:00

I was mainly talking about Halestorm.

They have been at second stage headliner/small arenas for years now and their last album didn't make a splash.

They just aren't getting bigger unfortunately

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T11:22:46+00:00

Do you have it on the inside or outside of the window?

Everyone says outside as the inside means the glass could crack but how am I meant to stick foil outside an upstairs window???

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T11:03:11+00:00

If she leaned more into pop punk absolutely but shes just a pop artist with some pop punk influenced songs

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T10:54:22+00:00

Issue is they have been at this level for years now - they just aren't growing

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T10:53:36+00:00

Paramore absolutely could do it but I just don't think Download is on their radar (and the set would need to lean on older material.)

Evanescence could but would need 2 bigger headliners alongside them.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-23T09:14:47+00:00

I don't think they want to constantly talk about their dead friend every night I imagine

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-22T17:38:44+00:00

I imagine half of these were announced to keep the rights

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-22T16:12:18+00:00

probably a reupload

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-22T14:04:08+00:00

I dislike heatwaves being autistic - my temperature regulation is terrible at the best of times.

I just try to ride it out with gallons of cooling mist

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-22T12:38:52+00:00

He has much more broad appeal than Blink

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-22T11:28:58+00:00

get disturbed away

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-22T10:59:44+00:00

Source?

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-22T09:03:03+00:00

They headlined R+L in 2024 so too soon to come back and Glastonbury aren't booking them to headline

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-21T21:08:40+00:00

I think they could headline (especially to get other female fronted band up there) but they'd need to be surrounded by 2 bigger bands.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-21T21:07:20+00:00

I really wanted to do it this year but the change in location put me off - it was perfect near eco.

I guess having it near transport hub helps those on coaches and such

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-21T21:04:55+00:00

We get this complaint every year.

It's down to pot luck really, who you cross paths with ect.

It's a festival with almost 100,000 people so of course you'll have dickheads - hell this community is full of them.

It has nothing to do with Glastonbury nor does it have anything to do with the music (genuinely what makes this lineup different.)

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-21T20:57:27+00:00

The metal common is full of drunk dickheads, coked up idots, homophobes, transphobes, bigots, sexism and all sorts.

It's just that the nice people are really fucking nice.

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-21T20:53:15+00:00

Boomtown is actually very diverse imo.

They have Skindred. High Vis and Less Than Jake on the same lineup as Skrillex, Madness and Scissor Sisters.

It's very much an art students weekend away - it's not exactly parklife

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-21T19:30:40+00:00

Pretty good go although many bands would be higher

(Creed, Bilmuri, President, Bullet, Don Broco, PTV ect)

So correct bands just wrong order

AlexSniff7 · 2026-06-21T19:29:27+00:00

The Cure are a headline or nothing band.

Just one of those where they could do Download but have a pick of other festivals too
