I more meant at least headliners.

I've seen way more hate and the constant jokes on bands like Foals and 1975 to headline over the likes of Ariana. Look at the comments towards George Ezra when ever he gets mentioned as a possible, its not gender specific.

Yep, I think its in the next 2 weeks, or nothing until the lineup in mid feb.

I hope they do, they're at All Points East, so I can't see why Glasto' wouldn't. I imagine a 3rd from top at The Park would smash.

Honestly, I would love the Weekdn to show up and I think in a perfect world with no Covid, him being a headliner last year would of been huge. One of the biggest artists of last year with one of the biggest hit singles in what will probably be for a few years, off the back of a Super Bowl performance. I can't see it being this year, unless he was already booked for last year/before things started to get cancelled for last year, unless he really wants to do it. I think stadium tour for him this year and possibility him coming next year on the end of the tour of the album. I still have hope this year is Billie/Macca/Taylor.

Unsure if they've been spoken much on here but Yves Tumor is around Europe in June(last date is on the 20th) and then a random date in the US on the 23rd and then back in Europe on the 6th of July. Any chances of him showing up?

I more meant if we were suddenly being told in April what the full line up was rather than the odd announcement/headliner in the lead up.

I just think its crazy that its so close, I think this place would go into meltdown if we hadn't had anything by late April, not even headliners.

Have we got an update on when Coachella is dropping yet?

I just love this place that an act can be mentioned off the basis of very little and we all have to guess who it is, because reasons.

24th in Germany, 26th in France. They're not playing 2 dates in a row the whole tour, let alone 3. They've also got a 2-3 day gap between each date on the tour.

Thats all you do on here though 😛

Ah yes, the one where Taylor comes out during Kendricks set for Bad Blood just before she finishes the weekend on Sunday.

And Florence isn't headlining. What Taylor Swift setlist are we thinking?

Me personally? If none of the 2020 headliners come back I really have no idea. Which is where this forum becomes silly and fun and starts thinking of all sorts of acts. Which is how talks about Florence can start. Its also a very strange year, which helps with the hilarity. If she shows up, good for her and her band, but it'll be a small booking and I will be elsewhere. I honestly believe it'll be Macca and Taylor, but thats more out of hope (for Taylor) than anything else.

No one is saying Muse might play, 1 person mentioned it off the back of a new single being announced. Arctics are bigger than Florence. Coldplay, it doesn't matter that they haven't put out a good album/well received album, they're still a stadium act. I'm not the biggest fan of hers, but I'm not a fan of Coldplay or Muse (to an extent) either, and both of those being on top of the line up would go down better than Florence, especially after such a long break.

That's one of the more depressing realisations...Damn.

My concern is not things selling out, or not going, its buying the tickets with not knowing if i'm getting a refund, booking holiday/travel/even accommodation and the artists having to cancel full on tours for what ever the next unknown wave will be.

I'm happy for artists to take the reigns on this. My concern is for the future and how long this happens for. Covid isn't going away and there will be times where its worse than not. How does that work for bands to book tours in the future with the possibility of the next wave being as viral as this one, or as dangerous as the Delta variant. How does that work for people booking tickets to shows 4-6 months in advance with not knowing whats going to happen.

I genuinely can't see Kendrick now. I still have my hopes on Macca and outside of him not doing much, (he wasn't in 2020 from what I remember) I can't see a legit reason why it can't be him, unless I've missed something? As for Florence and the Machine, I really kind of hope not, just not a fan at all and personally would be a let down after the triple header of 2020 and then having to wait so long for her to replace them, I'd be very much elsewhere and I think it would be a very small crowd depending on who else is around.

Sam Fender and Florence being touted as headlines. Its good to see this place doesn't change when it gets down to it.

I mean, that is literally just Hyde Park.

Nope. I really can't see them headlining any of the stages.

Really good shout especially with those you listed.

Placebo I think are too big with what else we have on the show. They would be a great sub other but it feels like thats all covered? Hives in the JP tent is a must.
