2022 Headliners

[sisco]

Billie, Wolf Alice

Macca, HAIM, Aerosmith

Taylor Swift, Fatboy Slim

 

With QOTSA, Dua Lipa and Pet Shop Boys headlining the other stage

I'd argue that Billie/Elton is a bit of a poppier combo that Billie/Macca would be, which would suggest to me if they are going for the former on the Friday/Saturday we'll see guitars a-plenty on the Sunday.

[Matt42]

If that’s true then is their weight to the theory that they’ve just gone with who they probably had in mind for 2021? And this is all three of their headliner choices on rolled over dates, rather than 2020’s?

Emily did say they had three in mind for 2021. Billie Eilish, Elton John, Arctic Monkeys would fit her clues.

Now those are three pyramid level worthy other headliners. In typical glasto fashion we get what is rumoured a few years later.

Think it’s fairly realistic myself.  With Macca doing RW Boutique I’m sure he’ll be there.  My only doubts are of course Taylor if she’s touring and Dua if she’s holding out for the big pointy one

West Holts for me on Friday night, then. 

But Relton Ron is an absolute MUST 😍

Ah yeah. If Macca is at RW Boutique then he has to be back in. So maybe not a complete fresh set of headliners.

I am still crossing everything for Billie, Macca, Taylor. I’m hoping QOTSA being booked along with Aerosmith is a conscious effort to inject in some rock when they have three quite poppy headliners.

Do we kno this ? Nothin stopping him from doing the Sat/Sun right ?

Nothing but this makes the info on the euro side of efests that he’s not touring till 2023 look a little stronger.

Sorry @PolygonWindowshould have been clearer. 

Not 100% ruled but this is another piece of info which makes it more likely.

I’m hopeful for Relton and Swifty but her star has somewhat faded if Billie is headlining, don’t you think? Especially if Relton’s in the mix as well. Would be very poppy.

QOTSA are one of the very few get-out-of-original-trio-free cards they could have used, well played G

[SwedgeAntilles]

Remind me, who was meant to be headlining the Other last year on the Friday? 

[JoeyT]

Headliner info has hit me right in the feels.

Makes 2022 feel more real, I've been in a weird trance with regards to Glasto recently. Think I'd even convinced myself it wouldn't be on next year at one point.

Bring it on

[jparx]

Macca is still rumoured for Werchter though, so surely he’s still in the picture? He’s only doing that show if he’s still doing Glastonbury, surely?

I am ALL here for Billie, Macca and Taylor until we’re certain they’re both out. Two female headliners for the first time - make it so Emily.

I think Aerosmith and QOTSA also being on the bill surely offsets some of that though. Can’t argue that they aren’t bringing the rawk

Is Taylor scheduled anywhere else before next June?

Same - I think it would be a great feat to book two of arguably the biggest female artists in the world in the same year. Hat trick if Dua is back too!

[balthazarstarbuck]

Hope they get Zane to do the coverage again… 

Dovetail pretty well as a headliner pair I think if true. It’s funny, I’d be a touch underwhelmed if it was just one, but they seem to go together well.

No idea who I’d see yet.

She’s not. I can see it happening that she sits out 2022 to finish the re-recordings, but we will see.

One thing (and looping in @jparx on this). Taylor is the typical artist to announce her dates pretty early. She announced her June 2020 tour in September and she usually announces dates around an album release.

I hope she will drop some tour dates in November when the Red re-release drops to put her back in the mix. But I do agree, the silence on the touring front for Taylor is getting a bit worrying. Especially as she’s the type of person to announce her dates a year in advance. 

[Chrisp1986]

I still have  gut feeling Reg is there...

[Matt42]

(In the Billie thread Neil said he’s heard a further bit of info which confirms it). Doubling down on his TBC.

[Hugh Jass]

Well well well…

Billie is not my thing, but Queens most certainly are.

Good news all round!

[circus92]

Just when everything had gone very quiet on the forum - we have lift off 😁

Not sure I would be at either of them, but great to hear stuff is happening - makes it feel real.

10 months isn't that long - it will fly in
