2021 Headliners

Email from BST saying we will find out the rebooked gigs by 13th May. If Kenny and Taylor are rebooked, it is back on, if not we have different headliners I bet.

While we'll probably learn something from that, it's worth remembering large international acts do often work to their own schedules.

Someone like Taylor for example may want to announce most or all of the European dates at the same time and wait until they're confirmed - so if she's not mentioned in the initial set of BST re-announcements I don't think it can be assumed to have any implications for us. However if they outright say she's not playing then we start to panic.

Not to bring neggy-ness to this thread, but if Taylor and Kenny are confirmed for BST on the 13th it will be really hard to get excited. We need some sign that festivals might actually happen next year first. Obviously in the grand scheme of things Glastonbury being called off is very minor, but it was especially gutting given the headliners. Don't want to set myself up for that level of disappointment again!

I guess one upshot of Kendrick cancelling would be that people stop referring to one of the headliners as “Kenny”.

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed again dude?

Been away for a bit again. Whats the thinking on headliners right now? 

Just seen someone on a glastonbury 'rumours' facebook page saying Ariana/Drake/Strokes, which sounds bizarre and wrong. 

What the hell is that 😂

They’ve quite literally plucked names from thin air with that. Weird.

Just sounds to me like someone looking at the three we’ve got this year and scrambling for a trio. Probably opened Spotify and just threw out the first three he saw.

It’s like me just going

Beyonce, Travis Scott, Genesis

Picked this up from the Pukkelpop thread, from a guy who has proved to have a lot of insight of European fests. Taylor starting to look unlikely.

I think most of the line ups will be back in 2021, 60/70%. The others we can expect the following years (Taylor Swift would not be back in 2021, something that I’ve heard, but she will be in 22/23, something with a new album by then).

The contracts are still counting, the fans who had a ticket for this year will be there too next year most of the time...

Nope, I'm not sure I'm ready to accept this. 

Is today the day where hyde park are contacting attendees? Hopefully some positive news will come out.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
    • I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub 
    • Yeah Roy's Tune was lovely. Looking forward to the whole thing hopefully going on iPlayer.   It's scattered dates they have this year really, proper tour/s to come next year - suspect a new single will drop in the next couple of months, providing the album is done.
