Maybe he couldn’t confirm for them when they needed to lock their headliners down… who knows. It is a bit of a weird one. How did none of us mention that Longitude have their entire lineup TBA and Kendrick was down to play in 2020? I don’t think anyone picked up on that at all.

Shitting heck this could work

Thinking what the dates could be 10 - 12 June Governors Ball NY (USA) *maybe some extra US dates? 22 - 26 June Glastonbury, Pilton (UK) 29 - 2 June/July, Opener (Poland) 1 - 3 July Longitude, (Ireland) 7 - 9 July Les Ardentes (Belgium) Jul – 17 Jul 2022 - Ottawa Blues Festival (USA) 28 Jul – 31 Jul 2022 - Lollapalooza Chicago (USA) This could 100% work for Kendrick. I just noticed Longitude in Ireland is still TBA with their lineup and he was down to play in 2020.

They may have known he was coming out for Keem but he didn’t want to do a full headline set.

I don’t want to get burnt again but if he does drop his album in June and then does Governors Ball, Glastonbury and a few other shows in EU before heading back to the states for Lolla etc in July that’s a pretty solid touring schedule. All of these events are TBA so there’s nothing to discount this is exactly what he’s doing. Cover as much of the world in a short burst as he can.

If he plans to drop the album in June then a show in April won’t work. When he dropped DAMN he dropped it a few days before doing a string of festivals. It seems to be how he likes to do things.

Coachella and Glastonbury headliner amongst a huge worldwide tour Billie is unbothered 🤪 Youngest Glasto headliner of all time let’s gooooo

Majority of these festivals had 90% of their lineups out in September. I can’t see them agreeing to wait until Feb or March to drop a headliner in this current climate. Is there not an argument too that some of these festivals wanted to get tickets on sale asap as a quick cash injection, just in case it has to cancel again? Some people would hold onto their tickets so it’s a decent way of getting cash in the bank.

Two people saying they’ve heard Macca and Kendrick Opener saying they have a headliner to announce Ken19 saying there are in advanced talks for a 2nd TW Classic headliner Glasto HQ hinting at Macca via Instagram Approaching balance payment deadline… It’s all coming together.

Looking at festi leaks the majority of mainland Europe festivals still feel very uncertain on whether they can go ahead. I can’t see many of them agreeing to wait until the wire for one act when their priority is to get tickets sold. I think general concerns around COVID will have played a big factor in whether festivals would wait for Kendrick.

@dentalplanwill disagree but I think the initial plan was always for Kendrick to do Glastonbury and the other festivals in Europe booked him because they knew he was available. If he was giving it a long time before confirming big G, I can see why the EU festivals would move on. If he won’t sign for the other EU festivals until big G is formed out.

It’s kinda hard to gauge some that don’t have space as some festivals book like 3 headliners a day in my opinion the festivals to watch are the US ones that are tba in the weeks after Glastonbury. If Kendrick has to whisk away to do them I can see why Glasto would be a one off.

No longer booked or no longer have space? We know he was doing Opener and Ardentes and both have a missing headliner. Don’t know about others. He is gone from RW and the others.

I really don’t think the days are an issue as Macca was Saturday last time. Kendrick on Sunday isn’t that weird if that is how it turns out.

I think RW’s final headliner is a band according to brave sir… I’ve checked the other threads and it looks like Les Ardentes is missing a headliner too. Kendrick was down for that in 2021 too.
