That'd be a big deal, if true.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Topping the bill at Glastonbury 2024 were Dua Lipa, Coldplay (returning for their fifth headline set), and SZA, while the Legends slot was occupied by Shania Twain.
According to an “insider”, Glastonbury organisers are seeking to avoid similar criticisms next year by securing one of the biggest names in music for the Pyramid Stage.
The report, published by the Daily Mail, claims that discussions are already underway between Glastonbury and Eminem’s representatives, with the festival eager to acquire the “Slim Shady” rapper’s talents.
At Glastonbury 2024, SZA was met with one of the smallest headline slot crowds in recent memory, thanks in part to the multiple big names playing on other stages.
In a four-star review of the set, The Independent’s critic Jazz Monroe wrote: “For many a Glastonbury headliner, the Sunday night crowd is the ripest of low-hanging fruit.
After Dua Lipa’s laser-guided precision and Coldplay’s pyrotechnic catharsis, SZA – a Grammy-sweeping R&B phenom with an arsenal of candid heartbreakers – is perhaps a tough sell, less cultural colossus than a secret shared between millions.”
The original article contains 372 words, the summary contains 176 words. Saved 53%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Stuck up high elves never bring in real talent, only long established artists.
Still, Shania Twain deserves some good gigs after making a very difficult comeback since she lost her voice to Lyme Disease.
