Glastonbury fans left fuming as ‘absolutely brutal’ festival clash between two massive stars is revealed
GLASTONBURY fans have been left fuming after discovering Charli XCX and Doechii are scheduled to perform at the same time this year.
The festival’s official line up was unveiled today, with The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo and Neil Young all set to storm the Pyramid Stage this summer.
But, while the bill boasts a diverse mix of artists to cater to every musical taste, one scheduling decision has left some fuming.
The official website confirmed the set times, revealing Charli, 32, will take to the Other Stage while Doechii, 26, headlines the West Holts Stage – forcing fans to choose between the two artists.
Festivalgoers took to Reddit to vent their disappointment, with one writing: “Doechii to headline West Holts when Charli is on the Other. Makes sense to have Neil, Charli and Doechii on at the same time for crowd control but will be sad to miss either C or D!”
A second ranted: “Whyyyyyy would they clash those two. Perhaps it’s scheduling, but it’s going to annoy so many people. Maybe they realised they needed to try to split the Charli crowd.”
Someone else said: “Absolutely brutal clash,” while another agreed, adding: “Very likely for crowd control.”
With the fest set to take place on Worthy Farm between June 25 and 29, Sir Rod Stewart will perform his classic tracks in the legends slot.
Up-and-comers like Lola Young will entertain the younger generation.
Both Olivia and Lola are headlining British Summer Time in Hyde Park this summer with the latter backed by his band the Chrome Hearts.
The Eavis family look to have found the perfect blend of acts this year with a better showing for female artists than in past years.
And there’s something for everyone whether you’re into heavy rock, indie, rap, jazz, acoustic, or dance.
Loyle Carner is headlining the Other Stage on the Friday, while Charli XCX is performing on the same day as godfather of grunge Young when she tops the second stage.
Dance legends The Prodigy will close the Other Stage on Sunday.
It’ll be party vibes with Raye and US rapper Doechii coming to the farm, while Deftones and Amyl and the Sniffers will get the mosh pits going.
Brit winners Ezra Collective will bring their genre-bending groove to Pilton, while Noah Kahan, The Libertines, Nile Rodgers and Chic, Wolf Alice and Biffy Clyro are other standout names.
Alanis Morissette, Busta Rhymes, Gracie Abrams, and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty are also on the bill.
Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall is performing at the event for the first time fresh from winning Best Pop Act at the Brits.
Britpop veterans Supergrass, rising star Myles Smith, indie stars Wunderhorse and Inhaler, Weezer, country star Shaboozey and noughties art rockers Franz Ferdinand are dotted around the line-up.
Some heavily rumoured names haven’t made the cut, as it stands, with Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan notable omissions.
