Download Germany will take place on Glasto-Friday (no acts announced so far) and Metallica is the obvious headliner looking at their routing and having no German date until now.

Gnomicide Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 Metallica have the gap so Lars can make the pilgrimage. You're more likely to find him in the Rabbit Hole at 3 am than on any stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose-Colored Boy Posted August 17, 2021 Report Share Posted August 17, 2021 (edited) That 2014 set of headliners was the weakest in post-fence Glastonbury history, and on the Saturday night in particular the mediocrity extended beyond the Pyramid to almost every major stage. Dunno why anyone would be arsed commemorating that with secret sets. Edited August 17, 2021 by Rose-Colored Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and they have been asked and the answer I was told was…. They don’t pay enough They played the 6 music festival a few years back & I can't imagine they were paid a fortune for that?

Exactly. Baffling. We ended up at Mogwai and it was nice but not what you want from a Saturday night on The Farm.

Eilish’s first week sales for the new album were lower than the latest Lana Del Rey album. It wasn’t even the most streamed album in the UK that week - Dave was. I’m swimming in Billie Eilish flop stats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulky Lolita's supposed 'breakthrough' album just managed to eek a top position of #24 in South Korea. Hard to see how she's headline material.
