Looking at some comments from Helders they intended to record their album in 2020 but coronavirus related travel pushed it back. They we’re always very likely to be there I was just waiting for that little bit of info that they were in fact around and it wasn’t just a cyclical rumour. There also seems to be a band missing from various EU festivals. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they’ll start @ Glasto, your worldwide and then finish on them Sheff dates, think they done that last time they headlined - might be wrong but I’m pretty sure AM come out about a few weeks before they headlined ?

I had been thinking that they'd skip festivals next year and wait until 2023 and start with the Sheffield dates, a bit like they did for Suck It and See, but this seems a very good shout. I think for AM they started with European festivals in 2013, the album came out in September, arena tour later that year then back round for more festivals (TITP, R&L) in 2014. Something similar could work here, with the Sheffield dates as a sort of victory lap to round things off. I don't think it's quite as well rounded as the original 2020 trio but Billie Eilish, Paul McCartney and Arctic Monkeys would be a pretty balanced trio and there's something there for most people.

Jack.194 Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Could AM able the Saturday headliners, with Reg as the Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalopsia Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Billie, Macca and AM is a pretty strong trio, however I reckon Elton cannot be ruled out. It's going to be a very interesting 7 months! (presuming poster drops in March) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just coming back to say they’d probably be a decent replacement for Macca. Billie, AM, Taylor would go down well. They aren’t far off a heritage band for the festival now. First headlined nearly 15 years ago! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 I also wonder whether they’ve gone for their 2021 options and will pursue Kendrick, Taylor, Macca in 2023… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted August 14, 2021 Report Share Posted August 14, 2021 Billie, Reg and AM would be a fair and balanced trio. At least one thing for almost everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate how much you are holding on to reg but when more established acts with the festival start to pop up I think we are getting the annual reg blue balls. If AM are around with a new album they are a massive player now. If Taylor is potentially around too I think old reg just doesn’t want muddy shoes.

Replace Reg with Taylor and I can say exactly the same to you. We cling on to what we are desperate to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

priest17 Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 In fairness to AM it's been a minute since they were last here, they're a band who really aren't helped by being everyone's top rumour on here every September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackZeppelin Posted August 15, 2021 Report Share Posted August 15, 2021 Is there any conceivable chance that with Thom Yorke and Ed pencilled in, that Radiohead could come together for the , post-Covid, belated 50th anniversary and play? Call the lads in together, spend a couple of weeks rehearsing and let rip? Even if it is inconceivable, could at least one person humour me with the possibility?
