    Would her fan base really be that irked by her playing a single UK date? She could feasibly do something for a chunk of her fan base as a fairly last minute warm up gig for instance.

    I like you would like to think she looks at Glastonbury perhaps above any other festivals. I think the ethos both of the festival itself and Emily's proactive nature to ensuring females have an equal platform / representation on the lineup is likely to resonate.

    I don't see how re-recording her back catalogue has an impact on her ability to play live dates as others have mentioned though?

     

    Aye. They're all fucking bonkers.

    I was going to suggest Gorillaz for the remaining day but yeah, one of the other Primavera headliners definitely makes sense. Looks like a very good few days anyway.

    They're playing their second Prima date on the 9th. Could also be Tame Impala but would mean them coming back and forth between Barcelona and Stockholm. Not out of the question but makes them less likely I think.

    Buzzing for this. Two days before The National gig that's been reschuled from 2020. They've also added a date headlined by Tyler for the Saturday. 

    Just reading there's a TBC line-up for the Thursday too. Given all the other headliners are coming from Primavera in Barcelona I presume the final one will too. Either Beck or Nick Cave seems the most likely option.

    I think this is the first European date for The Avalanches next summer, another one from the 2020 line up who might be back.

    So, even in your hypothetical imaginings she's still 6th on the shortlist. 

    Tbh, if any of that was the case, I still think the festival would look elsewhere before rebooking her again so soon. I'm pretty sure you've championed this yourself at one point actually, but I'd consider Dua Lipa getting a bump up more likely than Adele returning. 

    Agree completely that she will be back eventually, but both Adele and the festival will have the good sense to wait until its almost as big an event as the first booking was, and that ain't in 2022, my dude.

    Given the other potential options this year there's no chance the festival would go back to the Adele-well so soon. 

    She might well be back in the frame when she releases album 33 1/3.

    Don't doubt @eFestivals sources or his confidence in them. After all we're all able to remember the occasional clanger which shows how seldom they are incorrect compared to the majority which turn out to be spot on. Having said that, the twin news of the Kenny omission from that Friday announcement and the, seemingly imminent, announcement of Springsteen for Mad Cool has given me a bit of a wobble.

    It suddenly occurred to me this morning that the festival made specific reference to Billie's age in the official announcement. Maybe a way to offset the fact they'd booked two old codgers for the other days? 

    Head says we'll still end up with Billie/Macca/Kenny but can't shake the feeling there's a swerve around the corner.

    It’s a selection of tracks that didn’t fit into other albums and plays like it but not in a bad way. There’s no overarching theme or headspace, just tunes. Does make it that bit more accessible.

    This is a great shout actually, not unlike Ryan Adam's Demolition album which was a similar put together effort. 

    Also agree with CalGon that, at least on first listen, it's preferable to Chemtrails

    Still thinking we get all the headliners before Christmas. Kendrick in the next couple weeks and Macca in December. There's no big surprise to come, so get those names out there and start building up the buzz (assuming there's no embargo on Kendrick as there seemed to be last time).

    Not sure if I can handle the stress of Macca being the final one to be announced.

    Goddamn is today stacked:

    Self Esteem’s album is sooo good. Catchy, witty, funny, equal parts bangers and off kilter pop. Deserves all the praise that’s getting piled on to it at the moment.

    Parquet Courts new’un is good although feels like there’s two very different vibes going on throughout - the standard rockers that we’ve heard before and then the Talking Heads influenced more electronic stuff, and I think I definitely prefer the latter stuff, with the former stuff (singles included) all sounding a little rehashed/heard it all before. Certainly not their best album, but good enough for now.

    Other shit for the day: Lana, Grouper, Every Time I Die, JPEGMAFIA, My Morning Jacket, Ross From Friends, Biffy, Hand Habits, probably a bunch of other shit #blessed

    Just finished the first listen. The more "traditional" PC tracks make it accessible, but the Talking Heads-esque stuff is likely what will keep me coming back for more. Big thumbs up.
