Kenny Sub?

If she wasn’t booked for a sub position in 2020 then I really doubt they’ve managed to get her for 2021 now that she’s the biggest star in the world. I don’t think she’ll be there - maybe 2022 when she has a new album out.

Bigger than Taylor?

Not a chance - it’s not even close

Maybe not overall, but in terms of current hype with all the kids, then probably yeah. 

I really don’t see her subbing either way. She was headlining every festival she was booked for this year and she’s only gotten bigger.

Too much information

I'd actually think so.

I’m not surprised, Matt does get very excited when there’s big Billie news.

[SwedgeAntilles]

I believe Big Billie News is down to play the Avalon.

If she’s that big she might need a Taylor

Billie for Sunday would be nice. She is absolutely big enough to headline.

Definitely, Billie is 9th most streamed artist monthly on Spotify globally, Taylor is the 35th.

Imagine what will happen if she drops that second album next spring.

Is this a tip off or a theory?

Personally I'm not a fan of one album Headliners. It can work and it has in the past but i think you need to earn it with more than one successful album.  

Also i dont think Glasto panders  to artist A has more listens that artist B on Spotify. Its not just about that.

Well she has a second album coming soon so you don’t have to worry about that

What’s this Big Willy news then?

 

edit; just to chime in. I think Billie single album (second album due) headlining is a different beast to someone like Stormzy. Although she is bigger than he is, not in terms of British culture which is what the Stormzy booking was down to. I don’t think Billie has the wider appeal to the masses who may attend just to see, I think she’s more of a marmite act with people who are indifferent to her.

I agree and her album is all I listened to for weeks when it first came out but even I would easily be lured elsewhere, and I have never seen her live. I also don't understand where this one album is coming from, she does have another which contains her greatest song, Ocean Eyes. Still, headliner no but put her as a sub and I am more likely to be there.

Where was everyone ? Because Metallica was probably the quietest headline set .... I’ve seen ... maybe gorillaz too 

Clearly everyone on here made a huge mistake if they weren't watching the mighty Mogwai on The Park. Absolutely magnificent!

Could everyone vote in the poll?

I’m really interested to see the results after a fair few votes

Tbh I’m in an incredibly strange position where I’d be equally devastated by any one act being absent but equally jubilant that the remaining two are still there. Such a strong trio for me.

In all honestly the reason why I have that twitter account is because the opinions of glasto twitter goers are quite different from efestival opinions. I think it’s quite interesting to see the reaction to different announcements on both sides.

Kendrick was one of the highest rated headliners here (I think when a poll was done here). But he’s not getting many votes on twitter.

Paul has steadily held 50% off of the votes, but has gone down a bit as some more people have been voting Swift.

that’s my CNN reporting but I find it interesting how broad glasto’s audience is. It’s healthy to look outside of efestivals for glasto opinions!

But for real Therefore I am is a banger and her and finneas are a gr8 duo and you should all just bow down and submit now.

I actually think its a really bad song but I like how versatile she sounds on it (the different vocal takes she has during the verses are great, too bad the hook is ded)

But its not like Billie popped out an album out of nowhere and suddenly got to asked to be a headliner - shes been around for a fair while now (Ocean Eyes was what 2015/2016?).

I can't vote because the option 'none of the above' isn't on there! 😄
