2022 Headliners

[jparx]

Great to hear Emily is still all in on Ross and Billie! Still no clue on the other headliners though. It does sound as things are fluid but she’s such a pro it’s hard to tell if fluid is more the lower card or they’ve just lost two of their major headliners.

I felt like she sucked her teeth a bit at the first mention of Billie. Like a plumber looking at a burst pipe. Could be imagining it, of course.

Blur just updated all the photos on Facebook and Twitter , unsure if that means anything

Have they erased Damon from their history?

FWIW Gorillaz are in Europe over Glasto weekend so whatever plans Blur may have, if any at all, it won’t include playing the farm.

Different strokes and all, but that line up does absolutely nothing for me at all

I went to Boardies for the first time last year (with Oxfam). I had a great time but caught Covid while I was there  but anyway, I also went to Latitude for the first time (also with Oxfam) and I saw Bombay Bicycle Club who were absolutely brilliant. I was expecting Boardies to be about 15,000 not 50,000 plus. The youngest crowd I have ever seen for , like , anything.

The Strokes aren't going to be able to pull off a headline performance in front of 80k people.

2 or 3 decent tunes on the first album and this is kind of the best the've managed since. Weak mid tempo indie. 

This is in encore song. *insert Partridge shrug*

 

Lol

I wonder if Emily saying some of the acts booked in 2019 are now headline size would refer to the pyramid or the other stages?

I’m sure Dua Lipa is the main one she had in mind and that conversations have already been had about her returning to headline in the next couple of years.

You're right, 2 or 3 songs is being very generous.

If Macca is out then I'm coming more and more round to the idea of GnR replacing him.

They're playing Paris on the Saturday but it's a festival show so it's minimal staging/gear of their own to transport. Spend Saturday night in a Paris hotel, up the next morning and private jet/helicopter over to the site in a couple of hours.

Not hugely different to doing back to back Reading/Leeds really.

I reckon they'd try their hardest to nab Relton before GnR.

One of the worst takes I've seen on this forum. The worst was when you suggested The Strokes could headline the John Peel Tent.

When they last did Rading and Leeds they had a day off between.

The time before, they only played Leeds.

Technically a different band now to back then.

Paris to Glastonbury is hardly an insurmountable distance if they wanted to do it.

[ModBoy]

Now it had died down, and we are back to discussing, I am finding myself for some reason falling back on Macca/Kenny.

Their tour suggests that any distance between gigs is worth a day off, if I recall correctly.

Even if that’s dismissed, the only connection is Emily name dropping them as a potential headliner to Metal Hammer. She has no form for blurting out headliners so why would that be taken as anything more than just a nugget for the rock fans who read that magazine?

No shot. Move on.

It's the traditional eFests' full circle. We'll keep cycling until there's news.

when/ how did we find out Taylor was no longer in the running?

When she didn't announce any gigs and one the major Euro festival organisers said she wasn't active this year.

Check the lawks page we have deduced that essential McCartney is headlining the Saturday night

Did I? That was generous! Must've had a few.

Ill downgrade that now to the Avalon. 

This is abysmal.
