Yeah, no worries at all, it wasn't meant to be an attack on any one persons character but more about a lot of the comments made on this thread as a whole (I think @Ddiamondd's post put it really well, it was getting quite whiffy on this thread).

Personally I think everyone is a little bit racist (or if you don't like that term, prejudiced instead?). I know for sure that I felt a lot more comfortable getting to the front front of the crowd at Kylie than I did at Stormzy, when in reality there was no real reason for me to feel that way. Its literally the same event, I guess the tempo of the music changed, but a large part of my concern was down to my prejudice towards that kind of music (heck, in that instance the majority of the crowd were white people too, but I still had that reaction). Nobody is perfect I think when it comes to racial issues, but I think its important to recognise our flaws and how we can get better.

Sorry for the takeover of the thread, we can go back to arguing about if Foals are big enough to headline now....

My opinion is no, because I think they're shit 😂

Re. Reg; I reckon he was booked for a final hurrah on the Pyramid in 2021. Looks like his touring plans will be pushed back a year, meaning he headlines in 2022 before retiring from touring. Just a hunch. 

sounds about right to me.

AM / Elton / 1975 were perhaps the OG 2021 trio then? 

[dentalplan]

There is more on record of Elton expressing his eagerness to play Walsall than there is of him wanting to play Glastonbury. No reason to think that the Pyramid Stage is where he'd want to sign off.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Equally, he's an auld trooper and will play more or less anywhere.

He hasn't played Glastonbury.

What irks me about the rumour of The 1975 headlining Glastonbury 2021 coming up over Christmas dinner was that Matt Healy, and perhaps his label's manager too, had said since Christmas about wanting to play 2020.

Is there not anything to it that they might have expected a call for 2020 if a headliner fell through?

Doubt it. If they had shows this summer and had Glastonbury in the bag for next summer then I don't see why the aim would be to move Glastonbury forward a year. And speculatively reaching out if already lined up is a bit weird.

Sorry if this has been posted before, but was just listening to this interview with Macca on Howard Stern where he makes pretty clear his Glasto show is postponed 

 

[jparx]

So Macca sounds like he thinks he’s playing next year and Emily wants him to play next year.

He is signed up, surely?

[dentalplan]

[RarerThanDandyB]

Macca confirmed!! COME ON

[jparx]

I wonder if he’s not fully signed up yet, but they have an agreement that if it seems like the festival can go ahead, he will do it. So maybe not officially signed up until later in the year/early 2021 or something.

Or maybe it’s just done and dusted and 2020 has destroyed my optimism!

Where’s this new Macca talk come from?

Fuck it, that’s good enough for me along with Stella’s tweet last week.

We’ve just blasted through the Red and Blue vinyls so yeah, I’m definitely feeling it!

I’ll be an emotional wreck during Yesterday.

Yeeaaa i'm going to file this in the "IT'S HAPPENING!!' column.

I think the absolutely loaded lineup this year kind of diminished how personally special it will be for me to see Macca on the Pyramid. Any other year he would easily have been the act I was most excited about... by far.

Currently laying in the dark, having a Beatles binge. Feels good.

Absolutely agree here. I remember commenting back in October that there’s no chance of Kendrick, Macca and Taylor because it was so perfect for me. Macca was a dream headliner, and then Taylor was the ultimate, then Kendrick was the enormous cherry on top.

I did feel like Macca was playing second fiddle to Taylor in my mind, but yeah he’s absolutely one of the acts right there in the top tier of my wishlist. If we just have Macca from the original three, we’re still getting at least one legendary headliner.
