What was the reason for being removed from Rock Werchter? Is it Josh’s legal situation?

They mention "change on touring plans" so it doesn't look good for Mad Cool and other festivals where they are currently booked...

Change in touring plans, apparently. 

Which shall remain the official party line.

If QOTSA are out, does this add weight to the argument that Neil's info on Kendrick is indeed out of date?

The QOTSA info came with Billie headlining. Kendrick and Macca was different info I believe.

Is The Weeknd tour announcement definitely coming today or was that just a rumour?

[1986]

So looking at the RW headliners who are big enough to be Glastonbury headliners, Metallica are free Saturday and Pearl Jam Sunday.

Sure there have been reasons discussed why its not them but for the sake of discussion you could also say there is more visible evidence for them than the current faves.

It was a rumour that someone big was announcing a tour that seemed to come from knowhere that the swift fan club made out to be her. Followed by 1 person on here saying it might be the Weeknd. 

All crap basically

I think they'll definitely favour solo acts for the big slots to reduce the chance of covid related pullouts. I wouldn't be surprised if Sheeran headlined again, even though he's done it recently.

If a band is good enough, they can even ride Covid... The techs can stand in without too much hassle for anyone except the singer. I saw Hot Chip headline Standon Calling last summer, minus two members - one of whom was Alexis Taylor!

I dunno, The Weeknd did tweet the below which certainly suggests a tour, and the deal about someone big announcing dates today did come from quite a few different sources. Might still be coming..?

I know he is mahoosive worldwide but I just can’t see him headlining GF, especially when Billie has the other night.
 

Would be a weak headliner booking imo (and I’d probably watch him).

This is a mental opinion.

I think it's probably the strongest booking they could possibly make right now!

[CaledonianGonzo]

But is it as strong as Florence and the Machine?

The #1 most streamed artist on the planet. 3 UK #1 albums. Would be a stadium act in the UK.

Literally one of the biggest acts that Glastonbury could book aside Adele. Adele technically can be discounted as they have already booked her.

If the headliners were Billie, Paul, The Weeknd he’d probably rival Macca for crowd size. 

* actually I retract. All three would/are going to have gigantic crowds. Billie is huge too.

It would be an absolutely huge booking. It would mean them losing Kenny and somehow getting someone bigger. That’s actually the reason why I’m not sure it’ll happen. He can tour stadiums.

No headliner is ever going to walk out to three men and a dog.

The idea that Glastonbury headliners get small crowds is a fallacy. Some just get more massive crowds than others.

[Earth_pig]

No doubt the wkend would be a huge booking for Glastonbury, massive.

 

But at the end of the day he is a massive twat.

It's impossible Bad Bunny is not even in the top 20, that list is extremely wrong. Maroon 5 and not him?

At least in Spotify this is what it is.

I am not going to be the one who defends him, but somehow he is giant on his market.

Latin music is invisible to English speakers but a gigantic chunk of the music industry.
