He would be an incredibly popular booking at the festival but there is just always no momentum. There have been many years now where he has toured locally and not played. I can’t help but think there is a reason - and I think it’s probably him. I love the bloke but he’s very fussy. There’s probably a deal breaker somewhere we don’t know about. You’re probably right, I certainly agree that if he was going to play he would have by now. His recent upturn in profile through Rocketman and the farewell tour would make now the perfect time to book him. Alas, it doesn’t seem to be a priority on either side.

I can’t see glasto being her only gig, and it’s not exactly like stadiums are a safe bet for her either. The competition for stadiums is going to be mad because they will be competing against rescheduled sporting events. I honestly think stadium gigs next year will be very slim. Euros next summer again too so there’s not a sudden availability of Wembley. Not sure how it all works with police presence either and having big stadium shows plus football matches on the same days.

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I'm aware that at this point I'm basically like but the prospect of coming through all this shit just to be faced with the ghastly trifecta of Biffy Clyro, Foals and the Kings of goddamn Leon is just too bleak a prospect to bear right now.

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Macca never plans more than about 6 months in advance, so I wouldn't read anything in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattymooz Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 I think with Taylor she shouldnt be in any rush to come back next year. It's not like her star power is diminishing that much - she can wait till 2022 and come back to give a publicity boost to a new album just fine. IMO shes clearly doing stuff like the South America tour for the fans as opposed to bigger festival shows to a mixed crowd. Kendrick on the other hand I would assume has pushed his album to next year, so should still be on the cards. Macca has his health to worry about too, so I imagine if he wants to play he would also want to do it ASAP to avoid something coming up that means he can't play it anymore...

As a ticket holder for 2021 - and with attendance in 2022 by no means guaranteed - how well she can publicise an unreleased album isn't a priority.

Crazyfool01 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Are there any thoughts we might go down the normal route of announcements ? .. or is it a given that Glastonbury follows what others are doing ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a thought that they might not want to venture much from the normal route of selling tickets based on announced acts ... but to counter that October and April will both effectively be resales .. as most tickets at present are sold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they said Taylor is headlining, people would rush to the conclusion the other two aren't etc I don't think many people would come to that conclusion, especially if the announcement was presented in a sensible way. People know that Glastonbury can be a bit erratic with their announcements, and that in recent years headliners have often been announced individually rather than all together. For example, in 2011 Beyonce and Coldplay were both announced before it was confirmed that U2 were playing after having cancelled the previous year and nobody jumped to conclusions then.

The others are showing good faith with current ticket holders and ones who might want to go next year cause they have to do what they can to spur on sales. Glasto can sit tight easily until September and then put some news out. I do think it will be much different though with whatever they choose to do and announce more artists ahead of a poster. Its either that, or they drop a big bomb during Glasto Weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two, Kenny more so will be a show because he's here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in Yeah Yeah Yeahs for a start. Agreed. A line up of Bey, Swift and Gaga would be just as disagreeable as a line up of three guitar bands. The Pyramid does it best when there's a bit of something for everyone at the top of the bill over the three days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
