Glastonbury organizers are making a strong effort to persuade rap star Eminem to join next year’s festival to compensate for Dua Lipa’s disappointing performance and salvage the reputation of the “worst festival ever”

Glastonbury organisers hope to brush off jibes that this year’s festival was the ‘worst ever’ by persuading rap sensation Eminem to headline next year.

Efforts are underway to book the American star for a 2025 performance, following criticism from many of the 210,000 fans at last weekend’s event about the ‘dreadful’ headlining acts Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA.

A festival source said: ‘While many are putting a brave face on the fact that the festival wasn’t exactly a success this year, they are already preparing for a bigger and better line-up next year. 

Glastonbury is barely over but the bosses want Eminem – they hope he will be their saviour after so few people went to watch SZA. They have everything crossed that he will say yes.’

Eminem has already headlined UK festivals including Reading and Leeds in 2017 but has never played Glastonbury’s main Pyramid stage.

Festival goers were particularly scathing about the choice of American singer SZA in the Sunday night slot filled by rock royalty Elton John last year..

One wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter: ‘Barely anyone showed up to SZA. The organisers have messed up big time here.’

Coldplay, who were headlining for a record fifth time, were branded ‘boring’ for ‘trawling out their same age-old hits’ such as Yellow and Fix You.

The British band’s frontman, Chris Martin, was ’embarrassed’ to be asked to top the bill yet again and offered organisers the chance to find another option, The Mail on Sunday reported last month.

Glastonbury co-organiser Emily Eavis, daughter of festival founder Michael Eavis, said of this year’s line-up: ‘I think it reflects what’s happening in the music world at the moment. There aren’t a lot of new rock acts to choose from if I’m honest.’

One potential solution to the disappointment surrounding this year’s Glastonbury festival is the rumoured booking of rap sensation Eminem as a headliner for 2025. The hope is that his star power will help erase memories of the ‘dreadful’ performances by Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and SZA. Despite the criticisms, festival organizers are already looking ahead to a bigger and better line-up for next year.

Eminem, who has headlined other UK festivals like Reading and Leeds, has never graced Glastonbury’s main Pyramid stage. The decision to feature American singer SZA, particularly in the coveted Sunday night slot previously held by Elton John, was met with poor attendance and harsh reviews.

Coldplay, despite being a record five-time headliner, faced backlash for what some deemed as a lackluster performance filled with repetitive hits. Frontman Chris Martin even expressed his embarrassment at being asked to lead the bill once again, offering organizers the chance to explore alternative options.

Co-organizer Emily Eavis defended this year’s line-up, noting the challenge in finding fresh rock acts in today’s music scene. As preparations for the next Glastonbury festival begin, the potential addition of Eminem as a headliner is seen as a promising step towards redemption.
