jparx Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Great to hear Emily is still all in on Ross and Billie! Still no clue on the other headliners though. It does sound as things are fluid but she’s such a pro it’s hard to tell if fluid is more the lower card or they’ve just lost two of their major headliners.

whitehorses Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 I felt like she sucked her teeth a bit at the first mention of Billie. Like a plumber looking at a burst pipe. Could be imagining it, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW Gorillaz are in Europe over Glasto weekend so whatever plans Blur may have, if any at all, it won’t include playing the farm.

I had a great time but caught Covid while I was there but anyway, I also went to Latitude for the first time (also with Oxfam) and I saw Bombay Bicycle Club who were absolutely brilliant. I was expecting Boardies to be about 15,000 not 50,000 plus. The youngest crowd I have ever seen for , like , anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth_pig Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 I wonder if Emily saying some of the acts booked in 2019 are now headline size would refer to the pyramid or the other stages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure Dua Lipa is the main one she had in mind and that conversations have already been had about her returning to headline in the next couple of years.

Hugh Jass Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 If Macca is out then I'm coming more and more round to the idea of GnR replacing him. They're playing Paris on the Saturday but it's a festival show so it's minimal staging/gear of their own to transport. Spend Saturday night in a Paris hotel, up the next morning and private jet/helicopter over to the site in a couple of hours. Not hugely different to doing back to back Reading/Leeds really.

Paris to Glastonbury is hardly an insurmountable distance if they wanted to do it. Their tour suggests that any distance between gigs is worth a day off, if I recall correctly. Even if that’s dismissed, the only connection is Emily name dropping them as a potential headliner to Metal Hammer. She has no form for blurting out headliners so why would that be taken as anything more than just a nugget for the rock fans who read that magazine? No shot. Move on.
