What are your 2021 lineup expectations?

[Matt42]

We are gradually starting to see visions of 2021 amongst this current foggy mess.

What do you expect/hope/want the 2021 lineup to look like?

[stuartbert two hats]

As far as hope goes, if they could rollover The Park lineup that would be dandy.

[jparx]

From the poster, I reckon around 70% will rollover. I can see there being a few big changes - out of the 10 major slots across Pyramid headliner and sub, Other headline and legend, I think we’ll lose 3 or 4 perhaps. But yeah, it’ll be close.

id say 70% is a reasonable shout .... Id worry for the Pet shop boys though .... they only seem to do every 10 years .... so that page in the diary might be full  

[Hugh Jass]

75% sounds about right to me.

The Park 2020 or we riot

Already got June dates so it looks like they are in!

[FloorFiller]

About 75%, but that doesn’t mean we’re not gonna lose a good chunk of the big acts - I just imagine almost all of the ones further down will roll over.

I’d be both devastated and somewhat relieved if the Park didn’t totally roll over, as it’s all incredible, but it there was a high chance I’d just miss most of it anyway which would be a total fucker. Just give this years Park lineup it’s own festival.

I’m thinking the majority of the smaller acts will be there. 

Further up the bill things may change. Bigger American acts may swerve it. 

Can’t see all 3 headliners being there but I hope I’m wrong.

Pet shop boys are touring the U.K. in May and June next year. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Third time I've posted this today, but Diana Ross is a banker for next year as well.

She's one of the most likely people to just shift her plans forward 12 months.

[CaledonianGonzo]

No statement yet, true, and she may just axe the whole kit and caboodle. But I've got a ticket for the Hydeo show and am fully expecting it to get canned at some point and pushed to next summer.

As to her fear of travel? Is that a thing? She's not played the UK for a few years, true, but I thought that was due to a bust up with people filming a gig on their phones. Otherwise she seems to play live on the reg. There may be some Aretha-style fear of flying, but shifting the whole tour - Glastonbury and all - doesn't increase the amount of time spent airside.

Diana's tour cancelled

Interesting that it isn’t rescheduled yet. Too early to book any dates?

[Bisque]

As someone has already said, the ‘smaller’ acts will likely come back. I’m just hoping the larger acts aren’t tied up in new tours (fests then tour rotations) to be able to play as they will obviously be getting more $$$ for their own tours. I’m not saying saying the artists have overall say if they play as management will be on them to make money.

edit: I just want Taylor Swift to be headlining, I’m sure she’ll want to do it regardless & hopefully will want to fit it in with whatever else she is doing. No I am not Martin.

If I’m honest I’ll just be happy if there’s a festival at all in 2021. Mass gatherings will be the last thing to return to normal, and I have doubts that by June next year we will be completely back to normal.

Looks like her plans have been turned upside down, probably due to a chain reaction of events.

Probably just trying to get the logistics in order.

I reckon her hand was forced by the Daily Mirror piece before her team had chance to confirm the new dates. We’ll get info soon I’m sure.

[Havors]

Have to imagine they will try to retain as much of the line up as possible. With there being so much notice/time between now and June 2021 I think they should be able to resign most of them. Only issue comes with any big acts that have already got tour commitments and albums penciled in? Hazard a guess about 80% will be exactly the same...

We’ve got our rescheduled pet shop boys Glasgow gig for May28 next year so looks like they will still be at Glastonbury.  Now, if Erasure were added to the party I would be rather happy!

it was said in jest a little ... Pet shop boys will get completely confused by being out of the 10 year cycle ... would of course love them there as long as they dont clash with taylor .... Erasure would also be good one of my most listened too in my teenage years 

[Ayrshire Chris]

What I will miss is the speculation, misinformation, extrapolation of tenuous links, rumours and those who claim to be in the know that I really enjoy on here!😁.  It sees you through the long dark winters days. 

That’s if the vast majority of acts are rolled over of course.

My plan is now to go see pet shop boys at one of the shows to remove that potential clash

I think that’s doable but my best mate is a psb superfan so I’d still be stuck ... he was majorly upset that I’d not provided him with info from here that they were collaborating with the killers last time ... we were at Chems when he got the news ... oops ... I think he’d booked to see them this year elsewhere
