Tales from the Celebrity Trenches

Madonna is Headlining Glastonbury Whether You Like It or Not

Tales from the Celebrity Trenches

Show Notes

Jamie East and Alice Brine are back in the Celebrity Trenches, unpacking another week of pop culture chaos.

We’re all missing Glastonbury atm - but Jamie makes a bold prediction about Glasto 2027 claiming he's worked out who’s gonna be headlining the Pyramid Stage!

As it’s officially gig season, we get the latest on the Bad Bunny gigs in London. Plus, Alice drops a bombshell on how to pronounce his name!

Do artists always manage to gather the balance right between showcasing their new tunes versus playing the hits?! Jamie and Alice have very different opinions on this. The pair revisit Becky Hill's now-viral "non-quite-an-apology" video after her controversial TNSMT Festival set, debating whether the backlash was deserved or if festival crowds simply need to lower their expectations.

Jamie looks back at music industry mogul Clive Davis, who passed away last week. He discovered Bruce Springsteen, Alicia Keys, & Jamie has a *wild* story about Clive’s most famous protege, Whitney Houston.

And there’s more speculation about Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s wedding - is it *really* happening at Madison Square Garden? The plot thickens!

We cover it all - in this week’s edition of Celebrity Trenches Weekly Dispatch! Tales from the Celebrity Trenches is brought to you by Sky Vegas.
