In terms of diversity, buzz-worthy performances, rare acts, production, undercard, catching artists at their peak, etc., this is still the best festival in the US. It’s our Glastonbury. Maybe we were spoiled when it came to headliners in the past, but there is absolutely still value here. I think this is the most guaranteed bet we have.
Coachella is great, but it’s as far from Glasto as you can get. I’d argue Roo is closer to Glastonbury than Coachella.
Also, this is going to sell just fine, it’ll just be a very young crowd.
Sade could move 250,000 tickets but no one will acknowledge this.
Remove atleast two zero's.
What are you talking about? She’s going to sell out arenas all over the world when she tours again. When we saw her in 2011, at the time it was the most we ever spent on tickets.

No festival is Glastonbury to be fair. It’s a literal city. In terms of notoriety though it’s the one we are most known for and has always delivered in my experience. It’s the only US festival Brits bothered to ask me about at the last Glasto.
Edit: Bonnaroo is only like Glastonbury in that it’s on a farm and the music goes all night. The quality is a worlds difference though.

You should know, as someone who has pretended to attend all of those festivals.
I don’t honestly care if it sells out or not, I just want to feel like I’m getting value for my ticket / at least know where that money’s going, and while the price has gone up a lot lately, I’ve known where that money is going. With these headliners - barring a ridiculous undercard - I don’t really, and it becomes harder to justify. And the secondary market is great and all, but it gives me anxiety to play that game of chicken. I’d rather just buy a ticket and know I’m going to get the value.
Not really a game of chicken when buying on the secondary market has had zero risk and consistently discounted wristbands for the better part of a decade. The odds of getting burned and having to pay $1500 with a Taylor-level headliner that stokes demand to unreasonable levels seems more unlikely every year. 250k is a lot of liquidity in the market too so we're talking black swan requirement to get significantly over face value and GV's recent track record with headliners shouldn't lead anyone to worry about it much.
Buying presale and then trying to sell without taking a loss has been the actual anxiety-ridden game of chicken since 2014.
It's generally safe but not guaranteed - there have been years when prices didn't really go down - and weren't there a number of issues with people getting fake tickets last year? I know there's generally a stubhub office nearby (I vaguely recall there wasn't last year) but I don't really want to arrive at the festival Friday, find my ticket is fake, then have to leave, go off site, and deal with all that.

Doja/LDR/Tyler would be the weakest headliner trio in the modern era of the festival, but looking at last year's lineup, no one predicted Bjork or Gorillaz popping up. So, even if it's weak at the top, there should be at least one or two other former headliner level acts that will hit for the 'old head' demographic.
Very ignorant to call shakira bland and lame as hell but not the same for Lana?
She would have given a great performance just like Rosalia last year.
Her resume has a super bowl halftime show, rock in rio, glastonbury and fifa world cup shows....but yea shes lame.
For an ecclectic line up, she would have been a perfect fit, but female latin artists dont get the same support as males.
If they were going to go with a Latin female then Karol G would've been the choice, not Shakira.
Karol G was just there in 2022 and ironically had a history of latin music at the end of her set to show support for such acts that have gotten overlooked thru the years.
If childish gambino and Lana can headline then so can Shakira.
And please with the P!nk nonsense (although gwen stefani would be in this category and she seems to get a pass here)
Shakira was a relevent as ever this year and could easily have been one of the 3 headliners.

I’m all for Latin representation, I’m third generation Mexican, but we’ve had awesome sets and support for Karol G and Becky G in the past two years alone, and they’re both extremely popular and headlined other fests and stadium shows more recently because they’re extremely relevant. Shakira doesn’t even begin to match the same vibe as the other two and I doubt the current demographic would give a shit about her set.
I beg to differ. Millenials would love to see her and were jamming along to her latest songs all summer. They were all over everyone's IG stories for soundtracks. She would be a legacy act and draw a huge crowd.
Not every artist has to be a spotify top 20 artist.
And fwiw Becky G couldnt even get an evening slot. Shakira would run circles around that performance.

Dude, Coachella doesn’t want Shakira, get over it.

Obviously everybody is different, I'm solidly a Millenial (34 next week) and I can't say I've listened to Shakira since maybe 2006...I really didn't even know she was relevant anymore until I logged onto inforoo today.

Half the board wasnt old enough in 2011 to know who Sade was. But yeah, here in La it was sold tf out and she did 4 arena shows here alone.

If they are looking at Lana, Tyler, and Doja for headliners they are clearly aiming for Gen Z not Millenials.
I don't know lol. I didn't find Doja's (W1) set all that captivating. But it is what it is if this is true. Def would make it the last time I bought advanced sale.
When I think about it, the last time I purposefully planned to see a headliner was Kendrick in 2017 (apart from PHM last year because they were a last minute booking and I’d wanted to check Skrillex off my list). Other than that, I’ve seen Beyonce and Harry from afar because I just wanted to hear them live and then go home to prepare for the next day. That being said, it seems like this will be another year of going purely for the undercards. Hope everyone isn’t too disappointed with this year’s headliners… we’ll all have fun regardless! I always say, if there’s at least 5 artists that excite you, then it’s worth it.
Here’s my 5 artists I hope are there: The Internet, Faye Webster, MGMT, Jungle, Catfish & the Bottlemen

According to my step-mom, everyone under 50 is a millennial!
