2021 Headliners


Guest

Recommended Posts

Roskilde announcing surprised me - similar festival in some ways to Glastonbury and they're right in there with an announcement. Makes me think Glastonbury could drop something early, but I just don't feel we'll get anything beyond maybe the legend slot this weekend.

At the most it will probably be “a few acts have rolled over but obviously not all of them” kinda thing.

I know it is special circumstances but it does feel way too early for glasto to actually make an announcement.

Yeah I reckon its a 'we are in negotiations', 'we are booking new headliners' or something like that, not a direct announcement unless they had one booked which I highly doubt due to things we know and whats been said. 

Could see Diana Ross probably being announced as said and yeah a vague sentence describing the lineup situation. I would say a normal announcement schedule starting October/November. I dont mind as it makes efests fun speculating and finding people who reveal things and we over analyse whether it could be true.

Yup. I think Glastonbury will have a normal announcing schedule just to wait out any of the weirdness that is going on with whether festivals will be allowed to go ahead.

I could see them not announcing anything though until it is clearer whether the festival can actually happen.

In fairness, they did announce the lineup and then cancel the festival about a week later (not sure on the exact timing).

Surely they would have to be planning it as if it was going ahead in a year?
 

Is it too early to start a when's the next announcement thread? 😂

Emily asked Jessie Ware to play next year on Jessie's podcast that came out today - it didn't sound planned (or they're convincing actors if so) so perhaps they're not rolling over the lineup as default (although I'm sure many will due to touring dates being re-scheduled).

And in fact, generally, she said that it won't be until after this weekend until they can start looking to next year.

Don't think there's anything can be read into that - even if they are rolling over as much as they can, there'll still be acts where it's not possible (we already know of LDR for near certain), and so plenty slots will open up.

We'd be in a rough spot if Mumford are bumped up to headliner. I don't think we need to worry too much about that, at least not yet!

It would be shit but the silver lining would mean you could be elsewhere and if they played Friday headline I could see Thom Yorke.

I'm not a huge fan of Mumfords, I like their 1st album and maybe 1 or 2 of their second but if anyone here doesn't think Mumford and Sons > Taylor Swift isn't a huge double header then they're lying. That's on the level that Rock Wertcher has soemtimes.

It’s big it’s two headliners but I’m sure people would prefer Robyn, Billie Eilish etc. Mumfords for myself and others is a let down but it’s still a big duo.

Oh it's a big deal and would've be MASSIVELY received by most of the crowd there, but I struggle to think of anything worse for my personal taste 😄

    • No idea how it'll work in a festival setting but really enjoying Prewn at the moment. 
    • Lineup announced, with the dates having been pushed back to 12th and 13th September. Tickets on sale tomorrow 8:30am.   12th September Chaka Khan Jack Savoretti Lulu Emeli Sande Texas ABC The Script   13th September Simple Minds Deacon Blue Level 42 Appleton Blue James Blunt Cast   I think it’s a pretty weak lineup compared to previous years to be honest - and think it’s quite lazy they’ve gone down the Scottish route so much (not sure Simple Minds would be classed as a headliner elsewhere in the UK).

    • I've been saying that it's been due for years. I don't recall anything but good luck, mainly, since 2016.   If we could get the bad year out of the way during the fallow year, and return to glorious sunshine next year, that would be most welcome.
