Mattymooz

Cultured people will know her from this

But I think you've just hit the nail on the head there. If they already have Billie, and its looking like they have Sam and maybe Megan too, as well as probably a whole bunch of other upcoming UK artists, do they really need to grab Doja as well? The whole special thing about Glasto is the variety of genres and timeperiods showcased, to just book all the trendy tiktok music kind of goes against that? Don't get me wrong, I'd love her to be there, just don't see it with the way everything else is shaking up (not to mention she would be a fair bit lower than sub I expect)

Tbh, my best guess looking at that list is Liv for BNA & SOTY, Silk Sonic or Doja for ROTY and then Bennett & Gaga for AOTY

Yeah, she'd be great but there's no way she'd command a sub slot. She wouldn't even get the sub slot at R&L. Would have thought she'd be more likely to get around 4th down Pyramid or maybe Other sub, but would expect Meg to be more likely for that tbh

Not sure on Kacey considering this album got nowhere near the buzz of Golden Hour, wouldn't be surprised to see it though Considering she didn't get any noms for her last album which had a lot more promo and was more accessible to the GP, I'd be kinda surprised if Halsey was nominated for this award.. Doja was up for BNA last year so don't think she can be up for it again. Not sure if they'd put BTS up for it - they are a pretty big singles artist but not sure BE was that big of an album? And Post hasn't released an album in the past year (Hollywood's Bleeding was 2019). In America Tyler is a pretty big force so I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a nom (though I agree that I think him & Bo are least likely from my list)

For AOTY, I'm gonna go for: Taylor Swift - Evermore Olivia Rodrigo - Sour Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever Lil Nas X - Montero Doja Cat - Planet Her Tyler, The Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost Bo Burnham - Inside Chris Stapleton - Starting Over

Bit late on this one as the nominations are tomorrow, but what are feeling might get the shout? Got a 13 month window this year (September 2020-September 2021 inclusive) so lots of good stuff....

Call me crazy, but do we reckon there might be a chance that Silk Sonic are playing? Anderson is in the area already, would just need to convince Bruno.... Would go down a storm post-Diana

I still reckon Haim have to be in with a shout. I know they did Other last time they were about but I think that slot would suit them very well (I believe last time they did Reading they topped the second stage too). QOTSA/Pet Shops/Haim

But I think the lyrics already did enough story telling plenty fine in that song without having to stick in bits off "look, here is the subject matter!! I'm talking about emotions with my son!! Do you feel sad yet!!" - It just feels a bit cheap I guess, which is especially annoying when the underlying song is so good and would probably be one of my favourites on the album

This is the most frustrating song for me. I love the actual song, but the voicenotes throughout the song are a bit tedious considering how good the song already is (and feels a bit blatant to me using your child as emotional manipulation fodder?...). The outro was better but I would have preferred it be a separate interlude as well Whoever thought of Inflo X Adele though deserves all the love, want more of that on the next album please

He back (and with Gaspard on production too)

Think the rumour at the time was that he was the second most expensive headliner ever after Em...

Don't think we have any news about them, but they just seem like an odd one to be in a rush to rebook when there are so many acts with new material out who are desperate to play

Yeah I was gonna say this, other than Yungblud the rest of that set seem like pretty decent grabs (even if I don't understand why anyone would want to go and see KOL)

I reckon Haim are a decent shout for it tbh, Could easily shuffle over there to save them from the mid-pyramid dadrock fiesta

I'm not sure where to put them is the issue. I guess maybe they could be the special guest opener? Or maybe in instead of Paolo (although if he is coming back next year I'd expect him to have a relatively big slot)....

Sets her up nicely to headline the pointy one on her next album

If they play on a flying stage suspended from the Arcadia crane does that count?

Shit, first I woke up thinking it was Friday, then there was the HS2 cancellation and now this? Todays sucks

I thought I had heard that they were exclusive at Primavera somewhere but couldnt see anything when I did a quick google, and until I see evidence I am going to pretend that it is possible....

Relistening to this just reminds me how much of a mess this album is... It has the usual Taylor problem of it being far too bloated with lots of duff that should have been cut. Then you also have the problem of how varied the remaining tracks are, its almost like there are 2 albums in here - a pop one (WANGBT, IKYWT etc) and a rock one (State Of Grace, Red, Holy Ground etc.) Some of Taylors best work here on individual tracks, but as a package it is so jumbled

Interesting that Stromae is subbing this, I assumed he'd be headline or nothing at most fests.... Get him on the farm please!

Honestly disappointed it took this long but: 1. 1989 2. Evermore 3. Folklore 4. Speak Now 5. Lover 6. Reputation 7. Red 8. Fearless 9. Self-Titled 10. Pablo Honey
