2021 Headliners


Guest

Recommended Posts

According to Ken... Kendrick’s team outright told some festivals he was booked for that he had no plans to return to Europe in 2021. Which is why some festivals have not rebooked him.

What would be concerning is if he said the same to glasto and glasto went and replaced him.

Fucking Ken.

I swear it came out at this time last year they hadn't been signed up, they don't normally sign people up till later anyway, it's been lined up all summer.

Ken is saying that this Kendrick date does contradict absolutely everything he’s seen / been told.

Kendrick being this side of the Atlantic at any stage next year is good enough, let alone in the same rough ballpark! This was a dead and buried dream. Let the joy simmer for at least an hour or two.

No 👏 realism 👏 please 👏 and 👏 thanks 👏

I can sense it in the waters he’s about to drop another album of the decade and probably cement himself as one of the most critically acclaimed artists of our time.

I don’t think there’s a need for realism. What we thought is wrong and he is about and he can play.

I kinda get the sense that Glastonbury have not yet put pen to paper on their headliners, or at least have only done it recently. I don't feel like they were jumping the gun along with the other festivals back in June when we had all those announcements. Could be wrong, but that's my hunch.

Yeah I agree. As much as they'll obviously want the best headliners they're in a much better position than other festivals who still need to sell tickets and have big names. Even if they ended up with a weaker year (e.g. Foals, Dua Lipa, The 1975), they've already sold out and would still sell out even if a few extra people put their tickets back in the pot.

Neil's info from a few weeks ago about them talking to Muse, Florence and Arctic Monkeys is still plausible but it makes sense if those talks were based on if they can't get this year's headliners back rather than formal offers, which I think is what Neil meant by it anyway.

I hope they'll rejig the days a bit for next year. I had a clashmegadon on that Friday, I'm still not entirely sure who I would have seen. But on the Sunday I'd struggle to find something to see.

I don't really care who headlines next year, as long as it's on is all that matters. Though having a solid option each night would be a nice bonus.

Imagine the volume of tears there will be on site when we all get to witness the first sunset of whenever the festival is next held. Jeez man.

Some of those canoes last seen in 05' will be required to float around!

We'll need to book moorings at the ciderbus to get a pint of hot n spicey :lol:

    • On the whole then,yay or nay...I've had a look on festivals united and there's people who seem converted by Rock Im Park, I can imagine it might be different if it was a washout as RaR is tarmac.   The hotel side would be more to convince the non campers if it's an option. On my first visit to rock am ring we were shuttled into the area where you could stick the car next to the tent which was fantastic as it meant zero lugging of camping gear.
    • An interesting thing this. Having seem them several times (some of their gigs veer into back catalogue niche territoty), I partly agree they arent Pyramid material (theough modern defeinition of 'bangers' although I could see them headlinging the Other stage) I can't think of another festival in the world that they couldn't headline - Reading, IoW, BST, Rock Wercheter, Roskilde, etc etc.
    • Ohhh it’s very, very good. 
    • I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to   Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them. Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
    • Would love to see them headline as well, but agree with Mr Bailey ☹️
