2021 Headliners

[Rubber Soldier]

Kasabian are never going to be the festival’s first choice to headline again, but I reckon they’ll get another go at some point. Say someone pulls out or negotiations break down late on. A band like Kasabian are a great fallback in a pinch. Obviously their album quality has went downhill since West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum, but they usually have at least one banger per album, and they’re a good live act. Reserve team headliners.

Apparently Emily said today three headliners already booked and only one played before.

Towards the end of this she reveals that all 3 headliners are at least pencilled in for 2021.

Arctic Monkeys would be my guess.

(Sticking with 1975 and Madge for the other two)

Played but not headlined, my money is on the comments relating to headlining.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Elton comin'

[mufcok]

Arctic Monkeys also my shout on the one who has played before, assuming they're in the studio

If there's a new album, it'll be Billie Eilish as the one that's played before. 

[AlexOvd]

Elton John - Billie Eilish - RATM. You saw it here first.

Coldplay, Fleetwood Mac, 1975, Elton John. 3 of those...

 

Mick Fleetwood recently : ""We’re not going to do a [long] tour, I would say, ever again," he said. "But there’s loads of alternatives. People like Peter Gabriel have a lovely way of working where they go and just do four or five major festivals during the summer. That’s the sort of vision that I see for Fleetwood Mac. We’re able to cherry-pick things that have dignity, and are fun to do, and they’re historically interesting."

But it’s ok bc Lorde will be back ❤️

[SomeoneListeningIn]

I really don't think Rage will be there. When was the last time Glastonbury had a headliner that had also headlined R&L the year before? There's also no guarantee they'll even still be together by summer next year. And even then, if they are over in June, I just think they'd go for the money at Download.

I think there's a good chance that The 1975 could be one of them, given their comments about really wanting to play the festival before they go away from touring for a bit.

Also think one of Fleetwood Mac, Madonna or Elton John would make sense.

The third, I dunno. George Ezra seems so likely to headline the fest whenever he's next around, but would they really be booking him this far in advance?

Also, it's difficult to know whether Emily's comment about one having played before means explicitly headlining or just playing in general. If she means headlined before then it'd be cool to see someone like Beyoncé return 10 years after her last appearance.

I also wouldn't discount someone like Lady Gaga. She could have a big year or two planned out.

At this point I'll go with The 1975, Beyoncé and Fleetwood Mac.

Apologies for the rambling post.

Just dismissing Stevie and Christine isn't much of a good look either

It was tongue in cheek, as well you know.

Yeah I still think they seem like a decent shout. Never played before (as far as I know) and they very much seem like the kind of band to have their tours planned out well in advance.

Madge, 1975, Elton
