Disagree. And I liked her album, but she really isn't a Glasto headliner. She is no Adele or Taylor imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get, like, The Killers denied because they're not the Stones or Stormzy denied because he's not Drake.

Still got a lot of major festivals left to announce who’ll give us a much better picture of who’s available.

It’s very bland at the moment and doesn’t seem to get much better, let’s hope acts will do Glastonbury due to its name and pull better artists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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). i still dont always believe acts need to have a reason to be over there to be considered for the festival, much less headline. If Glasto is fighting to try to have some uniqueness at the top of the bill, then youre making it a point to limit how many performances they do around the festival. I take no issue with Kendrick or Taylor having a BST date as it makes up for anyone unable to secure a festival ticket. And in these times you can assume most promoters will explore all options available. But you cant really say he would be out of the question just cause nobody else is attempting at this point to your knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s incredibly rare (just Kanye as far as I know) for an artist to come over just for Glastonbury with barely another tour commitment. It just doesn’t work that way and isn’t worth the artists time, especially for Glastonbury’s pittance of a pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well tbf i was only comparing female solo artists that have (would have) headlined in recent memory. I think she is levels below every headline act from the last 4 years and can't see her being booked as a headliner. Album was wicked tho.

When she’s promoting new material she’s pretty inescapable and has racked up her fair share of bangers now. I don’t necessarily think she’s gonna be headlining any time soon, but I wouldn’t bat an eyelid if she was announced to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same earlier this week when I found out that the Australian (Melbourne?) festival Splendor in the Grass has Gorillaz, Strokes and Tyler as their headliners in early 2021. I thought that sounded great (probably not for Glastonbury though)! I think Tyler would be the highlight of Glastonbury for me if he played.
