It’s been a long three years. We’ve been through so much and suffered greatly. Which is why we’ve brought you something truly special to welcome you all back. Here they are.... Coldplay!!!” I can totally see that happening - but at Friday 11am. Don't think we'll get crazy stuff like 2 headliners per day but they most probably want to kick of the main stage programm with a bang and that would be the most easy one to do so. For the headliners I guess Kendrick will move on, Macca depends on his health in one year or so and Taylor will play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ddiamondd Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Really tugging at my heartstrings, all this chat about Kendrick moving on. Deep down I know it's probable, if not overwhelmingly likely – but I just hope to god he comes back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might. After Emily posted a short clip of ‘Tender’ recently, Dave R said they were looking forward to playing together again.

Hugh Jass Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 My big worry for 22 is that after a couple of years of no festivals and no touring for acts there’ll be a raft of acts signing exclusivity deals as festivals are desperate to get the punters back in.

Mouseboy11 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Blur is a weird one that just doesn't really excite me much, I saw them last time they toured and while they were great didn't they just kind of fizzle out a bit after that? I'm not sure, just doesn't seem like there's that much excitement from people waiting for them to reform again, I guess it'd spark back up once they announced something.

henry bear Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Quote was "Glastonbury is a magical place for us. Can't wait till this bloody virus is dead, and we can all get back out there and start playing live again". Granted, it isn't up to him and the wording is ambiguous, but hey - I'm in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy0808 v5 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I think loads of bands will be thinking, I’ve lost x amount of money the last two years.. Glastonbury/BBC will boost sales massively. That or as above huge exclusivity deals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyscork Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Times going to be running out on Macca, Fleetwood Mac and Reg to play going much beyond 2022, so wonder if we get 2 of those 3? Eavis has said a few times Fleetwood Mac are his dream booking, Macca will no doubt be back, Swift can come on as a guest with Macca and then come back to headline 2023. Aerosmith and Muse as special guests and someone big to open the festival on the pyramid (insert Coldplay here). Adele will have a new album so could be an option. There was also that big metal special guest they apparently had booked for the Friday for the 50th, Metallica? As you can tell, im already getting carried away and hoping for a mega all star party 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This album that’s been coming for a couple of years now will be the first thing she’s released since she last headlined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I thought at first, but then all their leaks had them on the Saturday and the metal slot was apparently on the Friday so wondered if there was someone else. Plus Lars has been very vocal about how much he loves Glasto after playing so could see Metallica doing a special slot for the 50th. No doubt just wishful thinking from me tho haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyrulion Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 What I think is exciting is that the festival being so far off means that so many people we might not even think of could be in the frame if they blow up over the next 10 months. This time in 2018 Stormzy had just been nominated for a Brit award for his album. Hadn't even won yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj6658 Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yeah feel Dua Lipa maybe in with a shout if Taylor is out. Would love Florence even if shes an undercard I cant see Fleetwood ever playing ever. There fee is too high and i cant see them lowering it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what lots of people round here said was going to happen this year until he started confirming everywhere and tunes were changed. There's nothing to suggest it won't be 2020s headliners yet, and I still don't think you can get a more impressive trio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Blur or Oasis I think both of the brothers having been off the road now for 2 years will hopefully just say enough and do it. They know theyll get their final retirement money just from a residency at Wembley. 4 hours ago, Hugh Jass said: I can picture Michael and Emily now.. “Ladies and gentlemen!

Like maybe Diana Ross will just not want to wait and they have somebody who they had pencilled in just go for it. But I still had Depeche Mode in there for mine so that can easily still be possible given that they cant tour this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sisco Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I do understand you can only book who’s available etc... but they’ll try and make Glastonbury an absolutely massive thing (bigger than normal) as a mass celebration of this god awful Virus being under control. They’re not starting with George Ezra or The 1975 (or Foals) My Guess: Blur or Arctic Monkeys Paul McCartney Taylor Swift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but this is gonna be such a mess with agents and such because of artists album sales and everything being the only metric for how big they are. And yeah, if they just let all the artists know that there is going to be 3 names up top and a very stacked undercard and theyll cater as best they can to making sure everyone gets what they desire thats a reasonable route to go. They could just promise Dua gets a pyramid slot in 2023 if she just sticks to Other headliner this time. Anyone ever consider they possibly give the sub and maybe 3rd down on each day of the pyramid an extended set so at least if its big names who are headline worthy can essentially perform a headline set? Could do the same for the sub on the other also. I mean its something at least. And Im trying to recall that it has to be a hard curfew of midnight for the 2 main stages? Thats in the contract with the local council regarding sound levels, yes? Maybe they can apply for a waiver and make it go til 1am just for one year and then they dont have to revisit that issue for a period of say 5 years?
