I may be wrong but I don't think that day had a gold circle. Or rather, it wasn't one you had to pay extra for

This day didnt have a golden circle, but you had to get a wrist band to get into the front bit, which was free, but limited. Was a good system for those who got there early enough. The video doesnt do the crowd justice, but  it was nicecly spaced out.

Let’s get Taylor announced nice and early pls. Feel very confident she will be there since we’ve still not heard about a 2021 tour, she will be gagging to get out there in 2022. Has to be.

I reckon we keep Macca and Taylor, and Kendrick is replaced by someone else.

Yeah Taylor’s gotta be a given and I imagine she and all the festivals she was booked for will try and just copy and paste her 2020 schedule as best they can.

I don't know why he's dropped out of some people's reckoning. I'd have thought he's the most likely out of 2020's headliners (or at least as likely as Taylor)

I guess as each year goes acts like him come closer to retiring or being unable to continue performing, but Macca surely won’t stop until he’s forced to so he must be just as likely as he was to play last or this year.

Blur, Macca, Taylor and the Legend - Diana Ross 

In fact I don't truly I just want to be in that beautiful place surrounded by wonderful people and I'll be so happy. 

That will do me and exactly what I was going to post  👍

I reckon Neil Young will replace Macca if he can't do it (Macca will get first dibs), Taylor is nailed on if she wants it. I personally don't see Blur as the third - great band and the 2009 set was phenomenal (i was there) - but i think there will be a younger, ideally British/Irish, act. First time headliner maybe? Immediately think of 1975 but they are not anyone's fave on these boards, and i cant say I like them. But makes sense. Who else is there?

1975 will be long forgotten in 12 months. Nevermind 18

reckon that 2022 will have the same headliners or new? Feel like theres gonna be more competition for top billing and even undercard. Like big artists are going to be dropping albums throughout this year and next and gagging to be on tour

I think they now increase their chances of Taylor and Macca.. Kendrick will have moved on I figure

It’s almost impossible to predict who’s going to be active next year. Last year’s gig calendar was wiped out, chances are this summer’s will be decimated too.

So you’ll have the 2020 acts and probably those already planning to tour in 21 looking to reschedule for 22. Plus the acts who were already pencilling in 22 plans.

Agree that the original trio will get first refusal but if they don’t come back it’s well and truly anyone’s game at this stage.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
