Im absolutely amazed anyone serious thinks that out of all the artists queuing up to headline Glastonbury 2020 that anyone thinks Taylor Swift will be one of the 3 that gets chosen. if I’m wrong fair enough and I’ll be the first person to alllow the piss to be taken out of me. But I’m really surprised it’s a serious rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumpy's Rusty Nuts on the other hand have a new single that's a huge return to form and they deserve a shot at it. Yeah, but it's no 'Boxhill or Bust' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the acts does a cover of stairway to heaven. i go over to Michael Eavis and say: so will we hear stairway to heaven on the farm in June? micheal giggles micheal: did he play stairway to heaven? me: yes micheal : really? me : yes it was his second song ( me thinking, I know he murdered it but even I could recognise the track) micheal: oh I didn’t recognise it, really? So how are you? take from that what you will...... Absolutely nothing to take from that... ... but cool that you spoke to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasto HQ would kill to have Taylor Swift headline. She's one of the most successful singer songwriters of the millennium. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massively. like I say, I’d she ends up headlining I’ll still be on those forums and I’ll be more than happy to admit I was wrong. For me she’s not Glastonbury headliner material. she may well be successful but I think she’d get a lukewarm reception at Glastonbury to be honest.

Either it’s some weird form of groupthink in this forum or I’m out of touch with music. I just don’t think she’s a credible enough artist to headline Glastonbury, especially for the 50th anniversary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshM87 Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 Wow that’s caused quite the stir. At the end the day it’s just an opinion. Taylor Swift is obviously a massive artist and if country pop music is your thing then I’m sure she’d be a good headliner. My own honest feeling is that she’s not on the level of last year’s headliners. I know someone quoted me further up the thread saying it’s no different to signing Jay Z, Metallica it Kanye, well maybe not but they were hardly some of the most successful headliners were they? last year was,, I think, one of the most successful headliner blends I’ve seen at Glasto. Stormzy was amazing and unique as the first grime artist to headline, and the Killers and the Cure drew on considerable wealth of experience to make two fantastic sets. I’m just not sure Taylor Swift singing about her past relationships is quite on the same level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By sold albums she's way up there - and she's only been around for 14 years. More sold than Beyonce, or Jay-Z, definitely more than Mumford and Sons or Kasabian, let alone Florence and the Machine or the 1975... If it's international appeal, there's not many artists who could land in Europe, North America or Asia and garner massive interest in her concerts... I don't get why you would think that. I'm not even a T. Swift fan, I find her a bit bland to be honest, but to say she's not a headliner is either trolling or rooted in some kind of will to be a contrarian.

I can see why you don't like her - and I tend to agree that her songs are pretty underwhelming - I'm not Adele fan either as all her songs seem to be about her ex-bf, but that's the thing, there seems to be millions of people who enjoy that kind of crap. She's still a headliner and the festival would love to have her - and so would 60% of the punters I'd guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MEGABOWL Posted October 5, 2019 Report Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) I’m not a fan of Swift at all but she’s a headliner all day long. Absolutely no question. And she’ll get a massive crowd too. Edited October 5, 2019 by MEGABOWL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case he will play a set based on that. Did not see him in 09 at Glastonbury but did the next day in Hyde Park, the Working on a dream album was unfortunately one of his weakest so live show not his best. Saw him at IoW however and that show based around Wrecking Ball was excellent. So if he does which I think unlikely it will depend on the album quality. Big fan as you can see and would love to see him at Glastonbury but I think that boat has passed. I agree. Wrecking Ball tour was brilliant, Manchester was one of the best gigs I’ve ever been to. I’m optimistic for the new ESB Album but I can’t see him doing Glastonbury again. I’d love to see him do an out-and-out Greatest Hits set on the Farm but yeah, I agree.
