2022 Headliners

[jparx]

Well, Taylor is going to self confirm tomorrow night so we’ll shortly have two headliners set 😉 

Billie, Macca, Taylor is my prediction right now.

Why not? There are no rules.

I just don’t think Glastonbury have cojones to book those three headliners in the same year. 

[CaledonianGonzo]

But.....is it a bad idea?

[Matt42]

Believe in EAVIS 😁

Emily knows wagwun. It’s not even a risky booking as any festival would die to have those headliners.

Glastonbury is forward looking. DO IT EMILY

Yeah, I’m advocating for two women/non guitar acts topping the bill, but it would have to be alongside a Macca/Coldplay type at this stage. And that’s fair, tbh. I’m all for rebalancing the genres at Glastonbury, but it’s only fair to keep one guitar act topping the bill.

I can definitely see Emily really pushing for two women though. 

[jparx]

I must add it’s fucking ace to have some genuine news to speculate about.

[Matt42]

I genuinely think Emily has done it and those are our headliners. Kendrick looks to be rebooking his June commitments, Taylor is dying to be back, and Billie has to be there with her tour dates. It makes no logical sense for Kendrick or Taylor not to be the first ones back.

I wonder if Macca has lost interest after the long wait.

People will have things to say but Kendrick, Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Diana Ross at the top of the bill is really really exciting.

On a Friday night as well. Gives us something else to talk about rather than just over analysing tomorrow night’s stream.

Are there any other big European festivals she could play on Glastonbury weekend? I’m probably missing something obvious but I’m struggling to think of any given both Rock Werchter and Lollapalooza Stockholm are the first weekend in July next year.

Roskilde?

Interesting change from yesterday when you were saying that it was the festival who had lost interest in Macca

I think people want it back that much they won't give a shit. And if I'm perfectly honest a huge crowd out there will lap up Billie at Glastonbury more than Kendrick. 

For the general goer that say isn't bothered massively either way, I think they give Billie a bit of though, I would. Kendrick many would divert.

Secret Solstice and Tinderbox. Roskilde usually happens the weekend after too.

Who also had Taylor..

Billie was down for Mad Cool and (I think) NOS in 2020. Wonder if she’s back for those early July?

Can't keep pace with him tbh. Although I will say Kendrick, Billie, Taylor and Di Ross wouldn't go down well I don't think.

[Matt42]

Trying to wrap my head around a top bill of

Kendrick Lamar
Billie Eilish
Taylor Swift
Diana Ross
Aerosmith
Lana Del Rey
Dua Lipa
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
HAIM.

 

... I feel absolutely sick with excitement.

Roskilde doesn't really kick off until after Glastonbury but wouldn't be surprised if she played there too. 

Tinderbox seems like a decent shout but it's a big gap, plenty of time to play somewhere on the Friday and Sunday.

Genuine question, what's the info that suggests Taylor is dying to be back?

New album out in a few weeks.....so not taking a sabbatical.

Taylor herself has referenced Glastonbury a few times since it was cancelled. Obviously very much on her radar still.

No one's entirely sure.

Folk may be barking up the wrong tree here, myself included.....but there's a sense that she 'gets it'. It's not just a.n. other stop on the circuit.

Matt’s willing Glastonbury to turn into Radio 1’s Big Weekend
