Those names may pop up eventually, really hoping for Lorde especially, but it’s looking bleak.

Lorde has been making a record hasn't she? She's working with Jack Antonoff again. Got high hopes for that comeback. Melodrama was unreal so I look forward to seeing where she goes from there.

He was meant to be headlining this year and has UK gigs next summer, so it’s reasonable to assume he’ll be back.

Yeah think you're right.

I'd wanted to go this year to see HAIM and The Chems. Almost certainly crossed off my 2021 list 😂

I think I saw that one of them or their close family members is vulnerable so they won’t be touring extensively till this is over. 

I wonder if this also applies to Swift too. Her mum’s cancer diagnosis was apparently related to her limited tour dates this year. Covid understandably places her more at risk, potentially limiting any trips over the pond.

Este is diabetic and you have a higher likelihood of ending up with more complications from covid. So im sure thats going to sideline them for a while.

Oh, that's all they're announcing.

Haim seem to have a soft spot for the G so if the conditions are more favourable I could see them making an exception for it.

Well, try this theory on for size:

We never did find out who was supporting Taylor with the Lover Fest gigs. I'd wager HAIM were due to be on those shows given they were playing mostly the same festivals as Taylor throughout the summer, their friendship, and they really fit the type of act Taylor would ask to support.

HAIM have rescheduled the Ireland gig the Tuesday after Glastonbury. I find it a bit strange to think that they announced that show before they had cemented their touring plans and rushed in to it. It was clear all the 2020 shows would be cancelled - so why would they decide to reschedule that one separately and not a make a decision on the whole tour? 

What if HAIM are touring with Taylor next year on those rescheduled US dates in May and June, and Taylor, for whatever reason (she has residency in the UK? She's already spending loads of time here so it's not like she's schlepping around to loads of different countries?) is going to do Wembley/some outdoor gig in London + Glastonbury in June, with HAIM as support. Hence why HAIM are not on festival bills in July but still have that Ireland show after Glastonbury on the books.

Y'all can poke all the holes in the theory and I'm aware it's a 0.1% shot, but hey - we need something fun to speculate about outside of Chilli Willies. Given that Taylor spends half her time in the UK, I don't find the notion that she tours the US and a few UK shows next year completely unbelievable.

I think it was all supposed to happen this year wasn't it, but she pushed it back?

When you’re “Very Special Guest” is Snow Patrol you know you’re in trouble.

I think Taylor going to Europe is just a bigger endeavor than HAIM. One is likely bringing a stadium style production and a large band, the other isnt. More crew and such means higher risk of somebody getting sick. Its just a matter of Taylor  putting aside the Europe dates next year and fulfilling potentially domestic commitments first. Thus the whole thing of everyone thinking she comes back in 2022 and its a do over for europe then.

So disappointing. But it'll probably still sell well lol

Believe so. She took a break when the pooch passed away but sent an update earlier in lockdown to say she was working again. I can't imagine she will rush anything though

Hey, I didn't realise it was Snow Patrol Reworked. #gamechanger.

They were billed the same way on the previous poster. They can still sell out arenas in the UK, so what’s the fuss? Oh right, mom rock crowd pleaser.

Is Reworked a band or are Snow Patrol trying something new?

Latitude often have a "special" set for Sunday afternoon - something a bit different. So I think it'll be Snow Patrol reworking their back catalogue in some way.

Gonna perform all their songs in reggae style, accents n'all.

Its not really something new per say. They released different versions of Their big songs from their catalog and will be performing them that way. String section and such. The last tour they did was all that and in small theaters. Just go look up their most recent releases. Ties into the band being a band for 25 years.

Sounds like a ruse to get me to listen to Snow Patrol

HAIM still mia then 😣 Are they holding off before they commit or are they just out the picture altogether? 

Interestingly The only HAIM date in Europe is the Tuesday after Glastonbury in Dublin. 
 

So I wouldn’t count them out yet
