I think you are probably right and they are probably headlining JP or Other. But at the same time, things are going to look a bit different this year - we'll get Glastonbury back but she'll look quite a bit different as far as the internationals are concerned. I guess the line up will be heavily laden with Brit acts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyT Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Surely if enough people tweet Emily Eavis she might say something about this? She was replying to everyone the other day... Edited February 9, 2022 by JoeyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchmaster Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) As highly unlikely it is, I for one think Wolf Alice would absolutely smash it as Pyramid headliner and I'd be there with bells on if I actually had a ticket.

Hugh Jass Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I would genuinely love to see Wolf Alice headline El Pointo, but realistically it's not happening. I suspect the Cider People may have heard they're playing around the area and jumped to rather massive conclusion. Doubt there's much more to it than that.

the wonderwhy Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I’ve had this through from Festaff this morning which seems to suggest BST are indeed pushing ahead with their extra date following their licencing hearing the other week. Glasto Saturday is the obvious gap but they also have a Sunday free the following week and have done Thursday nights before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WA amazing band but won't please most. Seems impossible for traditional groups with guitars to get that big these days so we are left with legacy bands like The Cure/Killers/Arctic Monkeys to headline alongside the stuff old farts like me don't really get like Billie/Kenrick & Sheeran. WA would be great, help them step up a level and surprise a lot of people but can't see it happening unless others drop out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Wolf Alice are obviously not big enough to headline Glastonbury (they’re probably not even a sub) but also they clearly don’t have any headliners. Kendrick isn’t playing and half the replacements that Euro fests have got (Imagine Dragons, Twenty One Pilots) wouldn’t headline Glasto. All the other possible acts are ruled out by tour dates and exclusives (RHCP, Foos, Muse, etc.) If Macca has dabbed down at this point and they already struggled to get a third headliner they’ve probably said fuck it and bumped Wolf Alice up. Enjoy! Edited February 9, 2022 by Somto Unigwe Raphael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedra Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Wolf Alice headlined Latitude last year and were great - could see them on the pyramid but probably not headlining yet. On the other hand I wouldn’t have expected Billie Eilish to headline either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 In fairness Billie Eilish is one of the biggest stars in the world and Wolf Alice are a band that people who don’t listen to indie music probably don’t know exist.

George1399 Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 To be fair to WA, they're only subbing Reading but it could be argued their slot before Arctics is gonna be bigger than the Bring Me headline. We know both Emily and Michael rate them very highly, so who's to say they haven't said "yeah we're struggling for big name headliners, lets make our own!"

The Nal Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Would Wolf Alice be the worst headliner in the history of the festival? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somto Unigwe Raphael Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Basically you’ve got: Harry Styles or Dua Lipa (tour dates may tule both out of headlining) Florence & the Machine Wolf Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point during Kanye it looked like when a Pyramid gig is over there were so many leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
