Not for most acts but GnR arent doing 2 consecutive nights in two places. Though if you're offered Glasto headline I suppose you'd make it doable.

Plus Emily chatted about them. Hmm could it be Guns n Roses?

She may have mentioned their name to test the water for a general reaction, but it's unlike her to mention an act, then they're suddenly booked. She seems to enjoy the element of surprise. I'm thinking GnR are a strong contender for 2023, if they're still touring. That said, she might have put their name out there to attract the band's attention, to gauge their interest for this year as they're a headliner or two light?! 😀

Since when has having a gig in Paris been a barrier to headlining Glstonbury?

Since when has having a gig in Paris on the day you would be booked for Glastonbury been a barrier?

Guns can only do Sunday and Adele has exclusivity at BST. How much would it be to take that off BST?

It’s been done before. Both events are sold out.

Fine - switch Adele to Saturday and GNR to Sunday

Very true, but as their touring europe this year maybe the latter is right but they must have discussed if she's stating them in the media. Without many options if our two/three are out, Guns seem a good bet.

Who could they call last minute if they really needed someone big. Maybe someone in the vicinity?

The dates work and all.

The thing is Dua can’t do the Sunday. The only days she can do is the Friday (which Billie is playing) and the Saturday (which we believe Macca is playing). It’s not Dua.

Or Macca plays the Sunday.

Plus Dua would be massively underwhelming given her bad sales on her tour. And for me as I dont like her music very much.

I'd say her tour ticket sales dont really detract from the fact thay shes a Glastonbury headliner in waiting and they'll absolutely go with her before revisiting acts like the Stones, Florence or Adele.  Very little difference from Stormzy in 2019.

So the Saturday Pyramid headliner will be Lionel and Adele chatting on the phone?

We're talking Coachella here, but yes - that'd still be better than SHM.

[Matt42]

A reminder (most likely guff) but many outlets were running with Adele being in the running a few months ago. 

You never know. Emily is very close to her. There could be some contract wrangling going on. Which they’ve done before. If Adele doesn’t sign until after the Hyde park shows have sold out it technically doesn’t violate anything. Especially since Glasto can wait to announce.

No I’m talking about Glastonbury if Kendrick and Paul have vanished.

Fair enough, then I've lost track somewhere.

What has spurred this on is that Kendrick apparently said no to Coachella’s last min multi-million request for him to play in April.

Also still no sign of Macca in Europe. 

We are doubting the info again.

Is it really that hard to re-record previous material and also perform live or am I missing something?

Seems bonkers that's the thing which seemingly is being used to rule her out!

I mean on current evidence it’s taken a year to re-record and promote 2 albums with no tour distractions. 

It’s not just that, zero indications of playing live doesn’t help matters either.

Let's just clarify one thing here... The Birmingham Mail knows fuck all about anything.

Time for Dogstar?

[JoeyT]

Seems Legit.

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

That was the last roll of the Kendrick dice for 2022 folks.  

This ball game is now wide open.

Come on Swifty!!! 

[Matt42]

The funny thing about this year is we either know exactly what we are getting or we are completely in the dark.

The last time they played was a bit of a laugh.  Not sure Keanu would be up for that again though.

[Mouseboy11]

Billie, Guns n Roses and Dua would be a bit of a shocker of a trio tbh
