I'm wondering if there are stools that have been airbrushed out...

No-one wants to see Macca's stool.

Hard to tell who’s taller from that shot. They’re both doing weird micro crouches with their legs. 

Theyre the same height but Taylor has way longer legs so she would seem taller.

The founder of Glastonbury Festival has said he is hopeful some of the bands from the 2020 lineup will return to the bill next year - including "the big names".

In an interview with ITV News West Country, Michael Eavis said he hopes next year's festival will be the best yet after a two-year break due to the pandemic. 

The event - which sees almost 150,000 punters flock to Somerset - was cancelled in both 2020 and 2021.

It meant that despite being due to headline, Taylor Swift, Kendrick Lamar and Paul McCartney did not make it to the Pyramid Stage.

But now Michael Eavis has revealed there will likely be at least some familiar names on Glastonbury Festival's 2022 lineup.

"We've got the big names coming back I think - the same bands that I think we had lined up three years ago, or hopefully, fingers crossed," he said.

"It's not all about the bands though, that's the thing. It's all the other stuff we do that makes the show work - it's why we're so successful I think."

Diana Ross was also due to perform the Sunday 'legends' slot in 2020 with other acts on the line-up including the Pet Shop Boys, Dua Lipa, AJ Tracey and many more.

Well we already know that Diana Ross is back...

[Hugh Jass]

And we already know one of the big three isn’t.

Do we definitively know that, or is it educated guesswork?

I'm sure it's in here somewhere, but I can't be arsed to read it all.

Billie is TBC, so for all three to come back they'd have to take a lower slot

Ah yeah I remember now.  And did Neil say that the Billie TBC was as a headliner, or have we made the assumption that's where she'll play?

Yeah he said Billie’s headlining the Pyramid with QOTSA headlining the Other.

[jparx]

Promising that we’ll get hopefully 2 of the 3 back at least!

Thanks. For some reason my memory is shot to bits after last weekend...

Billie Eilish

Paul McCartney

Taylor Swift

Scenes when Kendrick is the only carry over.

Billie - Kendrick - Reg

I do really really admire the holding on to hope for reg. it’s a great effort. If Michael isn’t confused I think that should surely rule him out right? Most of the big names for 2020 coming back, implying that some are not, we know Billie is in the mix for the Friday. If it was only one headliner returning + Diana Ross surely the wording would be different - it would be more like some of 2020 returning instead of “‘most” big names.

This would be incredible. A lineup of headliners most festivals could only dream of.

[CaledonianGonzo]

No more incredible than what was due to go down in 2020.

[Suprefan]

So then:

Billie - QOTSA

Macca - Dua

Taylor -Diana Ross -  Pet Shop Boys 

 

Hopefully the Smile  are on Friday headlining West Holts like Thom was gonna do originally.

Surely if years of this forum have taught you nothing else it’s to take anything Michael says with an absolute lorry full of salt? We’ll see how it plays out over the coming months but it’s still all to play for IMO.

We’re all clinging on to what we want to see. My hopes for Kendrick and/or Reg are no different to your fixation on Swifty.

I know this is a big 3 but bloody hell I hate it.
 

Didn’t make it to a pyramid headliner 2019 so gonna have to go for Macca I guess, tho that will take some convincing in my group depending on who is on elsewhere.

Most of the big names is a bit ambigious, considering Michael likes to peddle the 'subs who are headliners' line a lot. Headliners from pyramid, and other, pyramid subs, the legend slot, he'll even Aerosmith, could all be legitimate big names.

I’m not sure it’s that much for a win as coachella has probably paid about $8 million a go for each of them. Whereas Glasto has paid… probably 60% of the fee of one of them!

Amongst a likely bunch of Diana Ross, QOTSA, Dua Lipa, Noel Gallagher, Aerosmith, Lorde, Pet Shop Boys etc.

No other festival can get that.
