2022 Headliners

[danbailey80]

I thought a general rule is announcing a UK tour before something like Glasto so as to sell tickets. Although Paul sells out anywhere in minutes though.

It came with a handful of European dates when they announced it in 2019, for the 2020 festival. Maybe he'll honour those dates alongside it?

Whats it gonna matter if the festival is sold out already. It has the same effect if he is announced for Glastonbury that a tour could revolve around that date instead of showing the telltale signs he is gonna be there for the festival with gaps in a schedule.

Funny thing, on the official Macca website, all the pages announcing the 2020 shows are still accessible but marked as "Cancelled".

If Macca was doing UK dates I would have thought these go on sale before announced for Glastonbury , so maybe on sale Friday ?

Normally maybe. But Macca has no problem selling tickets so doesnt matter when its announced.

Is The Chronicle still going?

[northernringo]

Has there been any indication that there will be UK dates announced from him this summer? As someone without a ticket for Glasto, I'd be very keen if he was playing elsewhere!

Exactly this. He will sell any venue out in minutes and Glastonbury is already sold out anyway. There maybe very few who won't go to hos your as they already have Glasto tickets anyway but who would go to a gig that is so close in time to Glastonbury if they are already seeing him (and it seems public knowledge he is playing now)

Because people who have Glastonbury tickets might buy tickets for one of his solo shows if they don’t know he’s playing Glasto.

Wouldnt be surprised at a first mini poster dropping. I know Macca is still a big draw, but with so much press and him and kendrick being carried over, I wonder how much impact a stand alone announcement will have compared to usual 

[whitehorses]

What thread was it where we gambled on poster drop? Need to go and amend my guess… 🤗

[kalifire]

Are we going to have to stand by our beds for the next week?? If so, I'm ordering one of these. It still counts, right?

[dentalplan]

I hope Wallace off of Wallace & Gromit patented that.

[chazwwe]

If we're going by what Emily said, we'll get a headliner this week and then probably saying 'Poster next week with balance payment window'

How have you managed to get pictures of Macca's headline set already?

I like Thumbs Up and I cannot lie

Sorry, I haven't been able to keep up to date lately. Is McCartney and Kendrick pretty much confirmed then? Just waiting for official announcement?

Yup pretty much. 2 separate sources in the lead up to this month. Kendrick announcing a European festival. Macca touring in the US and being free for mid-late June.  Then the news round up today of a lot of people saying its McCartney. 

They're also being both carried over from 2020 made them more likely at the start.

Near enough I think. Still adding a slight note of caution on Macca until he’s fully announced after the one person posted said he wasn’t playing, although we’ve since had someone else say he IS still headlining and these tour dates seem to all but confirm it. It’s easily 90%+ though

Ah man I forgot about the few days when we all thought Macca was out for Harry, followed by the scum saying he might be playing. I wonder where that even came from.
