Cheers folks. That's what I thought, just wanted to double check.

That's a helluva improvement.

Well shit, Billie isn’t somebody I’d be bothered to go and see but can’t think of a much better alternative than QOTSA! What a result if this actually happens.

She’s not. I can see it happening that she sits out 2022 to finish the re-recordings, but we will see.

One thing (and looping in @jparx on this). Taylor is the typical artist to announce her dates pretty early. She announced her June 2020 tour in September and she usually announces dates around an album release.

I hope she will drop some tour dates in November when the Red re-release drops to put her back in the mix. But I do agree, the silence on the touring front for Taylor is getting a bit worrying. Especially as she’s the type of person to announce her dates a year in advance. 

Aye - September was the Lover tour announcement (a number of weeks after the album release I recall). Still think there's time left for an announcement, could even be November time as you say. There seems a decent chance a single drops this Friday, so between then and November hopefully we hear something. @brettredmayne - has the bloke with the Stadium of Light info had any follow up?

Billie

Reg

AM

Seems where the smart money may be?

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Give Wolf Alice the third headliner slot, I say!

I don't think they will, for what it's worth but a guitar-based or electronic act would give the trio some balance, if it is Billie and Elton

Dunno. The only AM info we have is for 2023 not 2022. Maybe they’ve seen how oversubscribed the market is for 2021/2022 and sat it out.

[kalifire]

Taylor doing a 1989-centric set as the re-record is released at around the same time is the dream. 

[Hugh Jass]

Yeah, if it's Billie and Reg then a more traditional "band" would seem likely for the third one.

Reg on Sunday for the locals surely?

[Hugh Jass]

No point pretending Coldplay aren't a serious contender now.

Excellent shout.  AM would be a bit .. meh.  Wolf Alice deserve a shot and would smash it.

Billie, Macca, Elton would be really strong and I think Elton would be a decent step in for Swift if she sits out 2022, but I don’t think we can count her out yet.

There are good rumours Macca is in Belgium the week before Glastonbury so I’m not really expecting Reg if that’s true. Macca and Elton in the same year is massive, and I know in 2009 means they’d try, but I think Macca and Elton are next level mainstream. Way more mainstream than Bruce and Neil. That’s two genuine marquee glasto acts in the same year which makes me doubt.

I really do think they can make the step up but aye also don't think they will unfortunately.

Yeah and the info that they are in Europe during July makes me worried lol

[jparx]

Maybe Taylor is doing a Folkmore tour, and G are classing her as an indie headliner - Billie (pop), Elton (legend), Taylor (indie) 😉😎

[Hugh Jass]

I could also get behind the "WA to headline" train.

Would tick both the female AND guitar band boxes too.

Elton is retiring and Macca surely hasn’t got long left in him either, plus after two years of no festivals, if both wanted to do it then I can’t see anything stopping them.

They won't overthink it. If Paul McCartney and Elton John are both available and willing to play they will book them both.

West Holts for me on Friday night, then. 

But Relton Ron is an absolute MUST 😍

Relton Ron banging out Ram Rill Randing... What more could you want?*

Arctic Monkeys would be a huge booking but not one they necessarily need to make, with stellar bookings in Billie Eilish and Elton John apparently lined up. Pop megastar + living legend + up-and-coming-British-band-with-a-front-woman fits quite nicely. I think AM might have a couple of their own big shows next year and like someone above has said above, more likely 2023 looks a certainty for them on the farm

I love that "Relton Rohn" is now deeply embedded within efests vernacular alongside other terms such as "Pymild"

I was thinking more of creating an eFestisaurus, out in time for Christmas
