I know of Janelle Monae but it’s baffling to me that she’s considered big enough to be on the main stage in place of Avril. And clearly the numbers showed who should be on the big stage. I think everyone, us included, underestimated how big of a crowd Avril would draw at these festivals.

Loved her Glastonbury performance. Kind of annoyed they put her on the other stage; so many people underestimate her. Side note, I forgot how hot that guitarist is. Cameron is gorgeous

It's so exciting being an Avril fan atm. I really feel like how I used to feel back on her 1st two albums when she was everywhere. Been a long time since I've seen her on TV like this.
I'm seeing her in Cardiff on Tuesday, I really hope it's as good as this Glastonbury performance. Super excited for losing grip.

SZA is the headliner tonight and look how empty it is
Avril could easily be the headliner, or Shania or even The National... these festivals tend to confuse current success with established career, something SZA doesn't have

Just popping in real quick to say that I'm really impressed by what I've seen of the Glastonbury show so far! It seems like that was the best performance of the entire GH tour so far. Avril sounded amazing and she really seemed to enjoy it. The crowd was on another level, they really went wild, it's so enjoyable to watch. I'll definitely have to watch the entire set as soon as someone uploads it to YouTube. It's just absolutely amazing how well Avril has been received. So many positive reviews, the crowd clearly seemed to love it. She definitely should have played the main stage. Who knows, maybe she'll return as headliner in a year or two?

I’ve heard so many people saying that Avril should have been the main stage headliner tonight instead of SZA. No disrespect to SZA as I was there and I thought she was decent given that I don’t know a thing about her but it makes me happy to hear what people are saying about Avril.

Is what stage the artists play on solely determined by the festival runners or do the artists get some say too? Is there a reason that Avril maybe could have decided she didn’t want to play the main stage? Maybe she herself wasn’t sure how big of an audience she’d pull?

For Rock In Rio, the organizers suggested it was kinda her choice. Maybe she believes it's better for her brand to headline a secondary stage rather than be a 'random' act on the main stage? I don' know how it works. Given that she was literally opening for MGK concerts, I'm not sure about how much importance she places on stuff like this.

Wow, what a treat to see all the positive reviews for Avril , such an incredible show at Glastonbury!! She truly is an Icon + I couldn’t be happier for her. And her vocals sounded amazing..hearing that huge crowd singing along gave me chills.

She always comes out on top in the end, right? Even when people think she's been defeated and forgotten, she proves why she remains relevant with such a strong legacy. Many artists fade away for various reasons, but she endures. Despite having a more modest career and perhaps unlikely to achieve a new hit, she remains memorable for what she has accomplished and established. It's truly remarkable. I really hope she feels more empowered by having these moments and channels this fresh energy into her future music projects.

Little interview for BBC (I dont know if it was already posted here) And this part is something she needs to read more often to have an idea of how big she still is "Although Avril says she is "just a girl from a small town in Canada," her fans certainly don't see her that way." www.bbc.com/news/articles/cxw28nex1yjo

All I’m seeing on social media is people shocked Avril wasn’t a headliner. The main stage was half empty for SZA. Who’d have thought we’d be here, wild 😅
