Matt42 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) It all just feels a bit weird right now and I can’t say the news from Europe and America of US acts pulling their tours has put me in the best mood. Feels like we’re still being held down by this pandemic in a pretty disappointing way. Edited January 8, 2022 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me to see the final poster drop being some way different from the first edition when that lands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I don’t have egg on my face but we are going to be in such a good position by the summer. Think how bad things were in early 2021 and how quickly it all turned around. I just hope that people can see it in hindsight of last year. I do feel confident though that Glastonbury will go ahead regardless. The Government absolutely does not want another cancelled summer and I think the only roadblocks to the festival now are whether acts still feel confident about their tours.

dentalplan Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 There's a point at which the major touring acts have to book things though. The logistics can't wait, the wheels have to start being put into motion around the end of this month. But the positive thing is that we seem pretty confident that there WILL be a festival after three years. Whether it's headlined by Paul McCartney or Pete Tong feels like minor detail at this point. So, at the risk of sounding like a farmshagger, I'm not moist-eyed about the festival maybe not having the biggest of the biggest names. Doesn't have to be about that. The moments will happen anyway 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moments will happen anyway There will still be big names I’m sure. And I think some US acts will still be coming. I think it’s the ones with extreme country hopping we have to be concerned about. Diana etc who will be in the UK the weeks before the festival (as will Billie) I don’t think will be a problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jakeyboi135 Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 1 hour ago, Matt42 said: From this list - not taking into account the potential of some acts still with dates TBA I’d say Glasto probably have Adele, Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, Foo Fighters, Guns N Roses as their call backups before they would sink to Flo or Foals. Imagine a band subbing TRNSMT headlining Glasto in 2022. Y’all just sound like Twitter stans. Adele’s exclusivity is unconvincing (but because people here don’t want her to play they read it as a hard contract), Coldplay (while being a really naff option, haven’t really ruled themselves out at all), Foo Fighters probably have asked to play the festival already, Ed Sheeran (while being the worst option of them all would probably step in even if it meant multiple days in a row), Guns N Roses is a nice option but I think if Glasto is seriously stuck and the Bruce thing is something indicative of the summer we are looking at, the final two headliners will be British ones. They do have substantial British options. Even if they are not efests approved. Not wanting an act to play, and noting that 2 festivals/1 album since an act last headlined, is completely different. Besides I thought Adele was subbing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I’d have no problem if the festival has fewer big acts this year, would hardly make any difference to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shivroy Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Although if Glastonbury gets both Ed Sheeran and Post Malone as headliners I will definitely be disappointed, I saw Ed last time and last time i was in a crowd of Posty fans it was horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
