Glastonbury Festival has always been a hotbed of controversy when it comes to its headline acts, and the upcoming 2024 lineup is certainly no exception. With a mix of old school rockers and fresh new pop stars, the debate over who should be headlining the iconic Pyramid Stage is heating up.
In a recent meeting with festival founder Michael Eavis, the topic of diversity in the lineup was at the forefront. While some, like Noel Gallagher, argue that the festival should stick to its roots of guitar music, others, like associate Bizarre Editor Howell Davies, are excited to see a more diverse range of artists taking the stage.
With acts like Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA set to perform, the festival is certainly moving with the times and embracing the current music scene. But for those who long for the days of rock and roll legends like The Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen, the lineup may leave something to be desired.
Ultimately, the debate over who should headline Glastonbury will continue to rage on. But one thing is for certain – the festival remains a melting pot of musical talent, where both old and new stars have the chance to shine.
