2021 Headliners

[aj6658]

Kinda hope Taylor does play - Her music is not good music but its great to bop to and catchy. I think it would be a great atmosphere.

Kendrick i'm indifferent. I would rather have some sort of Guitar heavy band - Aren't AM releasing new stuff soon?

I’m leaving this site I’m done. I honestly can’t engage in this anymore. I have enjoyed times being here but enough is enough. Many of you refusing to understand anything. Bye.

Slow down. You're moving too fast. Solomon's here. 

All part of the job. What's going on?

Foals billed below Deftones...

Someone put his stapler in a jelly again. Wasn't funny the first time.

Most of the tweets are about Taylor. Feel like it may do them a favour to just confirm she's not doing it (if that's the case).

Eh?   I am guessing you have only really listened to her singles then, which are not really her best stuff

Would love to see Deftones at glasto, assuming they'd be a john peel headliner. The lack of Taylor on madcool is a massive concern for me

I don't think Taylor was ever going to be included on this announcement anyway. If she's around, she will announce the dates herself in a big update. Given that they certainly seem to be lacking some headliners here, I don't think it really indicates anything either way yet. If KoL were on there as well, and something like Gorillaz, I'd be much more concerned. There's still room for her in that lineup 🙂

And yeah, Deftones would be a great addition to Glastonbury. I don't see it happening since it didn't happen this year, but fingers crossed somewhere down the line they pop up.

Friday, if you notice, has a different headline-separating dot to the rest – bigger, fuller, coloured in with yellow.

I would take that as a hint. Expect to see Taylor/Billie added that day.

Love the detective work.  I reckon this looks promising - still 3 headliners to be added to that line up based on your dot theory

KoL, Taylor and Billie missing from the headliners. Either Deftones and Placebo have been bumped up to headline, or (more likely I think) they have missing headliners on those days. 

Taylor could certainly slot back in on the Wednesday 🤞

Also Alt-J looked to have been bumped down on this poster compared to last year. Lol.

Still completely in the dark on this then. Taylor may well just be holding back all her dates until later, or she could be not rescheduling at all. They said in their statement that they’ll hopefully have it all sorted by August so another month or so before we know for sure! 

[FloorFiller]

Just saw the thing about the yellow dot which is interesting. Only between Mumfords and Faith No More, who are both headliners, so is the assumption each other day still has a headliner to come?

edit: or the other way around and there’s still a headliner to be added on just that day. Hmm.

Jeepers. Tense times. 

Though not as tense as for actual Mad Cool ticket holders who must be doing their duster.

[FloorFiller]

Unfortunately I’ve got a feeling it’ll be Billie rescheduling and being added later and not Taylor, but maybe that’s just the pessimist in me...

[Quark]

At least they've extended the cancellation & refund deadline so that people can decide to run if it turns out that Mumfords are their marquee booking

That's how I would read it yeah. Weds and Thursday at least must have an extra headliner to come you'd think.

Going to keep an eye on their twitter to today to see if they start replying to some of these tweets. Sometimes they can give hints at what's to come (stuff like: "don't worry, still 3 headliners left" etc.). 

What's interesting, or rather a bit disappointing (although predictable) is that we're not seeing many new headliners enter the mix. The only "new" headliner I think I've seen has been Gorillaz. Everything else is being recycled from 2020, even where headliners drop out they're being replaced by other acts that were already touring. I personally didn't think we'd see many fresh acts turn up next year, and that seems to be the case so far. With Emily talking about 2021 headliners being pencilled in, I strongly think those will be moved over to 2022, and if any of the 2020 headliners don't return, they're replaced by acts we already know are out any about (the likes of RHCP).

All in all I think 2021 could be a bit thrown together and not exactly the first choice set of headliners.

Not exactly unexpected if that is the case.  They don't really have a precedent for how to deal with a spanner in the works of this magnitude. Whatever they can pull together will be better than this year!

Confidence in Taylor has just increased based on that. Three "main" headliners left to come...

Must be a bit of a shite feeling being put at the top and then they add you're not the main headliner 😂

[jparx]

Ooft.

Taylor is out. Game over.
