2021 Headliners

[jparx]

Not sure any festival with Ariana Grande as a headliner could be considered even remotely weak.

What are RATM's movements next year?

In US over Glastonbury. Apparently not doing Euro fests and coming back for arenas later in year.

I was thinking this earlier. They'll be locked into Leeds/ Reading wont they? Has any headliner ever played both Glasto and Reading in the same summer? 

Edit - Seen the above comments now.

Pause US tour so are technically free on the Sat and Sunday but doubtful.

Cancelling R&L to only play an arena show a few months later is a massive w*nk stain 

[CaledonianGonzo]

45,000 dead from covid and the Glastonbury line-up does a full pendulum swing from GOAT to gash.

[Suprefan]

What about somebody like Justin Timberlake. Doesn’t need to have an album out and has a deep enough catalog with enough hits. Future/Sex turns 15 next year and he could book a BST date. Can easily turn in a solid 90 min set without any slow spots. Maybe he could get Jay Z as a guest, unless everyone felt mandated N’Sync turn up.

I had tickets for Leeds however I would much rather see them in an arena. Very happy if this turns out to be true

I’d love it but he seems to be quite hard to pin down at the moment. Haven’t Coachella been trying to get him for years?

No signs of touring as far as we know, but it’s still early days so whilst I’m not necessarily expecting him to play, there’s still time for other acts to announce tours etc.

Is looking a little worrying judging by other festivals lineups coming together, mind. Glastonbury managed to get the cream of the crop for this year headliner wise, whereas now there doesn’t seem to be much on that same level (for my personal taste, anyway).

If Timberlake's Superbowl appearance is anything to go by (which no doubt it isn't), best avoided.

2021: Gaga/Macca/Muse

2022: 1975/Kendrick/Swift 

Why muse no album in the pipe work will be a bad booking

I personally think Ezra is for 2022 myself and it’s definitely the 1975’s time to do it. I’m just making sure we don’t get too complacent and stop talking about Ezra just in case there is a sneak attack  

Is Ezra really anywhere close to the 1975. Think he is a crowd pleaser but too early in his career for a headliner

The buzz around The 1975 seems to have died down a little. They’re still headliner material for sure but they’re not as omnipresent as they were a couple of years ago. If they get the nod so be it, hard to argue against it.

Ezra will be purely down to whether he can get an album and tour ready for next year. Just a hunch but I reckon he, and a few others, will wait until 22. 

Really... did you see their reading headlining slot. It was huge

Their Reading headliner set was more than enough for me to confirm they are strong headliner material

True true

Yeah they both flopped but Tame Impala won’t even get the critical salvation that Melodrama did.

It did fine for a band of their size maybe, but for an act supposedly punching for headline slots it hit well below what’s needed.

Melodrama is really popular among people my age (25) really don’t think it flopped

Obviously I know that is like judging Macca on his Olympics display but I just wanted to take the opportunity to badmouth something I don't like with some form of reasoning.

Coachella had him twice, but life seems to just get in the way. He was booked for 2018 and then Beyonce had to postpone because of her pregnancy  so he pushed his appearance to 2019. ( had a huge tour gap to support the booking too ) Then he had to postpone shows because he lost his voice and the reschedules ended up overlapping with Coachella. Thats how they ended up with Tame Impala last year. As Ariana replaced Kanye backing out at the literal 11th hour. The thumb in the eye was Ariana having the Other 4 members of N Sync guest with her during her set.

Ok.... someone must be able to pull together all the headliners from lineups released so far.  I appreciate I could but it’s so much hard work and I’m tired.

Macca's Global Citizen performance of Lady Madonna more of a worry tbh

Disagree.

And I liked her album, but she really isn't a Glasto headliner.

She is no Adele or Taylor imo.
