Surprises, Statements, and Show-Stopping Moments
Matty Healy, known for his outspoken performances with The 1975, is odds-on at 1/4 to deliver a political speech during their Pyramid Stage set.
Whether it’s social commentary or something more headline-grabbing, history suggests Healy won’t shy away from a microphone moment.
Coldplay fans could be in for a treat with Chris Martin priced at 1/2 for a guest appearance, most likely during a set by another Pyramid headliner.
Olivia Rodrigo is an evens chance to deliver a surprise cover featuring a mystery guest, building on her trend of viral duets during live shows.
