I don’t actually think an unannounced set somewhere on the Sunday is out of the question at all…

Dave and krist novoselic will show up during the McCartney set

Really want to be buoyed by the Macca tour rumour but the article does seem to be dated before the post suggesting he was out. Adds more credence to the fact he WAS due to be touring, but doesn’t do much to dispel fears he’s since pulled out.

Which Nirvana song should Macca cover?

Well, it looks dated 21st Jan. So around a week before the post saying he was out. You could argue having a tour lined up encompassing South America as well as Europe/Glastonbury as recently as the 22nd Jan suggests very high confidence it would go ahead, and cancelling within a week seems farfetched? Who knows

I really don’t like the build up to this years poster tbh. Feels like too many possibilities being dangled infront of us and it’s foolish to get excited about any of them.

I miss the days of Kendrick, Macca, Taylor being locked in since Dec 2019.

Not on the Saturday they won’t.

Ah yeah true.

That settles it; McCartney plays the Sunday and the Stones play the Saturday. 

Noel Gallagher would find it acceptable to play before the Stones and there are no other reasonable acts available that night other than McCartney.

We have our headliners! Case closed.

We haven't had a credible rumour since Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar in November or whenever it was. If it turns out to be them, we'll have 'known' for a long time.

The Who was an arena show (one of two at the same venue that hadn't doldrums out if I remember correctly), RCHP shows on the Saturday and Sunday are stadium shows, of course they're ruled out.

But they don’t have huge production do they? Can’t imagine their stadium show is much/any different to their arena/festival show. Just some bigger socks maybe.

I’d think smaller socks when they’re outdoors…

I really don’t care as long as their playing. Though I agree.

That’s very true!! Ok, I’ll retract my comment.  Gimme some Macca

No but I’ll forever be questioning anything I hear ever again pre festival if it’s not true.

It will show how fluid a situation booking for the festival is.

It’s come from a solid place.

But obviously this year is very different with the constant changing course of the pandemic so I wouldn’t lose too much faith in the source if it proves to be incorrect. I expect a lot of the festivals that announced lineups last year will end up looking slightly different come the festivals themselves.

Friday - Billie Eilish

Saturday - Harry Styles

Sunday - Quorndrick Lemur

Also perhaps we have to think about Foo Fighters too. Michael letting it slip that they were in line to do equinox, maybe they are a band on call for the Sunday?

Personally I think their dates don’t make things that straightforward for them but it sounds like Dave is raring to come back and play.

They’re not even doing back to back dates when they’re at the same venue. If they didn’t Glasto it’d be 3 nights running in different places. It’s not happening.
