2022 Headliners

[Quark]

Not gonna lie, turns out I've really missed wanting to tear what's left of my hair out at @Matt42's leaps of logic when it comes to lineup predictions.  Feels like a return to the normal and proper way of things when we can ditch all the pandemic bollocks.

Never change you mad bastard.

So Macca is just ruled out now because of…… Ermm…. Why?! 

Because Kendrick, Taylor, and Billie look to be in? Unless there’s a 4th day.

I don't think I want to know what it is tbh.  I prefer the idea that you take a look at the charts, music press, tour dates and an astrology chart, chuck some knuckle bones and scream into a barrel and then type out whatever comes to you 😉

Looks a decent shout to me. I think HAIM on the ? slot though. Expecting them on the pyramid.

You’ve literally just made that up though.  I appreciate there’s a gap but Billie was doing festivals around the time anyway.  Have Taylor (who I think is going to play) and Kendrick announced stuff for next year already?

HAIM are getting their big spot on the pyramid.  Been on the other last 2.  Ann Marie played pretty much that same spot last time too.

We’l see 😂 Kendrick rolled over his dates to 2021 from 2020, I don’t know why he wouldn’t do the same for 2022.

Taylor not coming back makes 0 sense.

It’s called a prediction. It’s a prediction forum. But arguments for Kendrick / Taylor not coming back don’t seem logical at this stage.

Ditto Macca. Nothing (other than you) suggests he won’t be back

Tbf it’s the 2022 Headliners thread 😂.

Youre right we’ll see but can I really see 3 solo artists doing it.  Add into that another 2 of the big spots are likely to be Lana and Diana Ross too.  There’ll be a Macca or Arctic’s and tbf they could have always just put Aerosmith in there too.

Three solo artists were booked for 2020!

Ok, I’ll rephrase it.  3 with that genre of music.  There will be a guitar, indie, rock etc… type act

[Suprefan]

Olivia Rodrigo on before Billie would destroy the internet lol.

so Lolla Stockholm would be one fest to keep an eye on since its the same weekend. Thatll at least lock down possible days. 
 

i say Kendrick is def out ( like i said before ) if this holds up. Also its some interesting timing with Live at Worthy Farm tomorrow? Special guest? 

[Hugh Jass]

That gap in Billie’s proves little to me. As I said in the other thread, she’s doing 11 UK & Ireland dates a couple weeks before the fest. Seems like overkill to do all those then do Glasto too. Roskilde seems more likely.

I fear young Matthew may be very disappointed.

Ah I know, Glastonbury has never booked three rock bands in one year.

2009 - Neil Young, Springsteen, Blur

2013 - AM, Stones, Mumfords 

2014 - Arcade Fire, Metallica, Kasabian

2017 - Radiohead, Foos, a bloke with a guitar.

I think Matt was being sarcastic. Point being why not three pop acts in the same year when we’ve had many years with three rock acts.

Ah, my bad.

[Matt42]

Obviously I could be wrong and it’s still early days but there really is nothing saying that Kendrick, Billie, and Taylor can’t headline in the same year.

In terms of rock bands on the touring circuit for 2022 that haven’t headlined already it’s slim pickings, and it’s clear that glasto isn’t that arsed about the 1975.

In isolation the “glasto is for rock bands” crowd won’t be happy, but with Aerosmith not far beneath them does it matter? 
 

I reckon festivals like coachella could allocate a 20m headline budget and struggle to bag those three in the same year. Glasto can get those three + a download headliner, and a legend.

Perspective.

So do I tbh but I thought 4 female slots in a row was overkill. Maybe 3rd below LDR so you can split it up a bit.

I agree. And Anne Marie would be one place up. But as above, you could switch HAIM to 3rd Friday, and slot Anne Marie in to Saturday Other sub, that slot would work quite well 

[Hugh Jass]

For the excitement over that gap it is worth noting that GnR have the same gap in their schedule for next year and nobody is saying they are nailed on to play...

[Hugh Jass]

For me it depends on who from the original trio has pulled out.

Swift - Yup, an almost like for like replacement.

Kendrick - Yup, can see that too. Although I’d be bitterly disappointed.

Macca - Nah, if he’s gone and the other two are still there they’ll get a rock act to replace him (GnR would actually make a lot of sense).

[FloorFiller]

Still just gonna assume it’s the original trio until one or more of them is ruled out. Billie was supposed to be touring Europe around Glastonbury in 2020 and seemingly wasn’t playing so I reckon that’s the plan again here.
