2022 Headliners

[wozwebs]

Weakest set of headliners in recent years for me not that I ever watch many. Foo's and The Cure only ones I've seen in full since 2014 when I started going again.

[Hugh Jass II]

On a personal note the headliner situation for me is exactly the same now as it was two years ago.

Always planned to see Macca and Kendrick, was always going to be elsewhere for Taylor/Billie.

It's the weakest lineup I've seen for a while in general but yes headliners wise poor overall.

Really poor isn't it to get two of the biggest current acts in the world and probably one of the most famous musicians of all time. 

 

I mean, come on dude, how is it "weak lineup in general". Whether you like it or not is out of the question, the names on there are generally pretty huge.

Yeah agreed - think its a V weak headliners and I think that it being the grand return and still technically the anniversary the whole line up is missing something.

Genuinely if you think these are weak headliners I’m going to take a guess you’ve not listened to any new music in the past 5 years

Two of the headliners haven't released any new music in the last five years.

You're being unfair here

- Billie has always been polarising on here. Some love her, some dont. I think she talented but I just dont like her music at all. Just not for me.  Think a massive downgrade on Taylor in terms of what headline performance she would give. Taylor is much more sing along.

- Already made my feelings known that Macca headlining. If you're a massive Beatles fan/ older you will be really excited but there are swathes of people who rather see someone else

- Kendrick is not the music I listen to but my god he will give a great performance.

As always it comes down to whether "weak" "current" and "personal preference" are same or different things.

And also the principle that any efester could start a thread, be the only one that goes in and comments on it, and would still end up being a fucking argument 😂

[Gnomicide]

Hats off @Neil, you were right again!

 

Feeling for all the Harry Styles fans at this difficult time.

Exactly, if you look at it purely objectively they've got one of the biggest pop stars on the planet right now, the most critically acclaimed hip hop artist going and a Beatle and all round living legend.

By no metric other than "that's not to my taste!" is that weak.

I’m just shocked Harry Styles and Dua Lipa aren’t there…. So very shocked @Matt42 😘

Any attempts to bait Matt out for the two he got wrong — Dua was said by half the forum, as well — are dwarfed by the several unlikely ones he got bang on.

I wasn’t baiting him in the slightest, I had a joke with him the other day about it. Not everything is a dig

Bit like celebrating an 89th min goal when you're already 5-0 down.

Gotta give it to him: It's Matt's world, and we're all just dabbing in it.

He named about a hundred acts! He was bound to get some right!

(seriously though, he did well)

Absolute dabageddon when Adele is announced as the missing Pyramid sub.

He does name a lot of acts but he also sticks to ones he really thinks and god bless him he still holds on for Dua/Harry.

He'll be okay - he's got his beloved Doja Cat.

Seriously though, they were never going to get harry, dua, doja cat, megan and olivia rodrigo. I'd sacrifice all of those for dua lipa though honestly - would love to see her get announced later for saturday other [would love to see Bicep given it though - would be incredible, if they get the leg up they will be the future chemical brothers for Other headline slot i reckon]

McCartney III doesn't count?

I assume he meant Diana Ross and Kendrick Lamar

I'll be honest I completely forgot about it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not that it matters, but Diana Ross also released a new album last year
