Matt42 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 1 minute ago, Somto Unigwe Raphael said: Alternatively, and way more likely if there’s a second pop act headlining, it’s Dua Lipa who was going to headline in 2021 and was already booked for the last announced edition of the festival. Dua is a candidate no one is denying but we’ve not heard she’s in line for 2022 and if anything returning to the other stage position. The 2021 info could be interpreted in all sorts of ways. The time they were planning the festival was during the worst of the pandemic, the list of acts planning to tour in 2021 was probably extremely slim. I don’t doubt she was an option but it was probably a firebreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 See this is why I love you Matt. Four hours ago none of us would entertain the possibility of Harry Styles headlining Glastonbury any time soon. One Coachella announcement later and you’re giddy at prospect of the next great headliner set. Never change young man. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just sounds like she’s doing the slot she was doing before. There’s actually nothing to indicate anything different other than someone saying she was thought of as a headliner for 2021.

Gnomicide Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Lots of Harry Twitter stan accounts unhappy he's doing Coachella and not Glastonbury. It would almost be amusing if he did play just to see the meltdown when they realise it's sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 (edited) Has there ever been a UK artist that has headlined Coachella before they headlined Glastonbury? Or even a UK festival for that matter? Edited January 12 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good one that! Still it’s pretty rare to have a UK artist get given their first headlining gigs in the states and not the UK. I agree though Depeche Mode are fridge list forever.

How can it “sound like” that when we’ve heard absolutely nothing to suggest it. It’s okay to just say that it’s what you think is going to happen, you don’t need to keep acting like we have any info to suggest it. She’s free on the Saturday. She could be headlining the Pyramid on the Saturday, she could be headlining the Other on the Saturday, she could be sat in Norway or wherever tf doing nothing on the Saturday. We haven’t heard that any of these are happening. Each possibility is just based on what we individually think may happen. Personally I wouldn’t be surprised by any of the three happening.

Freddyflintstonree Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Harry Styles is such an inspired headliner. Never would have even considered him, and then he gets a headliner slot at Coachella and it suddenly makes perfect sense. Doubtful this year though, for sure.

That Depeche Mode and Harry Styles are the only acts to have headlined Coachella before they headlined a UK festival. Depeche Mode also have an aversion to UK festivals so there is an * by their name as it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivroy Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Haha here I was asking about Harry Styles a few days ago and none of yall thought he was even possible and now look... Anyways, I also think 2023 might be more likely if he was to do a glasto headline set. How often do Coachella and glasto share headliners in the same year? I know they're on different continents but they're still the two biggest major mainstream festivals in the world, you'd imagine they'd like to avoid too much overlap. Tho obvs they're sharing Billie this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivroy Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Seems like they've sometimes shared 1 and in 2010 they shared two so I guess it's possible! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 6 hours ago, dentalplan said: Him headlining Coachella changes things. Especially if the set is a smash. But I think there'll always be more vital candidates than him for a big pop name to play. A bit like Bruno Mars or someone like that. That'll be the crux of it. It's his first go at this size of event, isn't it? And he's the 'oh fuck, we can't find anyone else' headliner at that. If he nails it, he's a contender, but there are a great many big pop acts who're better fits at Glastonbury, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
