But I'm more into variety & giving someone new a crack at headlining. I can't abide Ed Sheeran, but had no issue with him headlining at the time (see 1975). I quite like AM - but they've done it twice. There needs to be a significant gap between performances IMO. I'm thinking 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like her tour was in place to supplement Glastonbury, so now the tour is back on for 2021 the legend slot announcement is just a formality. Excellent!

Two first time headliners, legacy act, good mix of genres, with Diana you've got a good gender balance across the big 4 and acts to appeal to multiple demographics. It's not the dream but hey, I'd see Thom on WH and then back to Pyramid headliners. All good. Oh god we are back to 1975 / Macca / Swift !! Didn’t we think that was the trio for this year originally?

Matt42 Posted June 30, 2020 Report Share Posted June 30, 2020 I can’t see AM playing personally. I think them having shows planned for June really doesn’t mean anything. I think they can easily just do their own shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to absolutely hate them until I saw them and they blew me away. If you’re into big production bands who operate well with enhanced back drop/ lighting/ graphics then definitely give them a chance (given there is no one else on that you’d prefer to see!) I’m not going to waste time going to see a band I don’t like. I’m sure there’ll be something on elsewhere to entertain me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they probably seem like a british band waiting in the wings to headline, but I do think they pretty much do their own thing now. They are a U.K. staple and can afford to do other things. If rumours believed they were asked in 2019 to replace Macca and turned it down. However this could fuck up my argument. They could have said no to 2019 but yes “the next time we tour” which may explain why a 2021 headliner was pencilled in so early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought their set in 2014 was laughably bad... but in saying all that... it's a new headliner & I'd rather them be given the gig than a a constant repeat headliner. (AM, Muse & definitely the Coldplay's of the world) Plus I saw an interview with the lead singer & he seems a decent guy. if I’m honest I shared this exact opinion about them about 2 years ago. What altered my view was going from treating them as a ‘rock’ band to more of a pop act. Once I made that change I started to really appreciate the hooky writing and thought process which goes into it, like, it’s very evident they know who their audience are but what i really applaud is how don’t just feed them the same old shit record after record, they do change their sound up.

There was a conspicuous lack of festivals and big gigs on their last album and I wonder if the divisive response to TBHC stung them a little so they’ve waited. My money is them coming back next year with another album and headlining at least one major UK festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
