Yeah but theres plenty of US options in late may/early june. If she is hopping around to Bottlerock, Boston Calling, Bonnaroo ( depends on dates ) Governors Ball and Firefly then Prima is just an anomaly but who knows. I figure some of those are off the table tomorrow but stranger things have happened. If its an underplay tour then festivals will take no issue on the solo dates cause theyll get anyone shut out of those dates.

I’d be very surprised if primavera got her and nowhere else in Europe did. For a NZ based artist that’s a long way to go for one show.

Artists have done much more extreme things to go perform somewhere. Im not saying there isnt anything else in europe, its just that Prima might just be the beginning and not the middle of euro dates.

Right you are. I guess that Metallica schedule was drawn up before Hellfest was announced. Just about plausible they could turn up on the Friday, but Lars won’t be there as a punter...

It's a non-story, and the fact she's even had to make a public apology about lip-syncing a song that already contained the slur when the rapper concerned (Tyler the Creator) has had no pushback at all, shows how some people will take offence whenever and wherever they can.

The biggest joke with cancel culture is it’s a weapon the alt-right use arguably more than the left. James Gunn for instance. Much like how those who use the term snowflake are normally the biggest snowflakes out there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted June 22, 2021 Report Share Posted June 22, 2021 Reckon Lorde feels right. Played festival before, new album coming out, female and global superstar but still feels “alternative” due to her avoiding media limelight through living in NZ.

kalifire Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Blur / Reg / Taylor I think they’ll want someone homegrown and familiar with their first big headliner back. I’ve got a gut instinct that King Kendrick won’t quite fit the bill. I can see him being there in 2023 after touring new material. Reg because of today’s tour news and the very Glasto shaped hole next June. Taylor because I think she’ll still be very committed and I can’t imagine they’d turn her down for anyone.

jparx Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 If Macca is doing TW Classic as suggested, he's absolutely bolted on for Glastonbury. I'm still sticking by our 2020 headliners until there's compelling evidence one of them won't be there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RarerThanDandyB Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Gap seems too convenient so until anything more concrete, Reg is in my prediction. Lack of info mixed with the fact they could be busy means at the moment Kenny and Taylor aren't in the trio. Seems weird Billie coming back over to UK after the a few EU gigs so imma say for something different: Billie Eilish // Macca // Elton John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jparx Posted June 23, 2021 Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 Worth plonking this here for those who don’t visit the Taylor thread. Either totally innocuous/reference to when she used to bundle pics with merch or hinting that a tour announcement is coming. Knowing Taylor and how meticulous she is, seems more likely to be the latter but we’ll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Five into three doesn’t go, and with Diana looking an absolute cert for legend there’s not even any chance of shoehorning Elton in there (not that I think he’d take it). Right now, and based on nothing but a feeling, my money would be on Kendrick, Elton and Taylor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, and based on nothing but a feeling, my money would be on Kendrick, Elton and Taylor. I don’t see why Macca would be playing a festival in Belgium the weekend before Glastonbury and not then headline Glastonbury. I can’t see anything but Macca there, he’s the most nailed on for me. Which then suggests either no Elton, or Macca and Elton on the same bill. The latter seems so outrageous I just don’t think it’s happening, although I do have to concede Taylor is currently looking the most likely to skip the festival. With the massive caveat that we’ve still got a VERY long way to go, and in a normal year we wouldn’t have any tours announced at this stage for summer 2022. Betting on what we know at this specific moment in time, I’d go Kendrick, Elton and Macca, but I do still think there’s a decent chance Taylor is announcing a tour in the coming months which would obviously change the picture significantly.
