Matt42 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Takeaways from these - Wolf Alice are absolutely not subbing the pyramid. - Megan The Stallion about an other sub works now. Highly doubt Glass Animals are headlining that stage either. - Florence and the machine has a new album coming and 0 UK summer dates. What gives?

For some reason I thought we knew Crowded House were Sunday I thought they were Sunday too but someone said they’d be doing a shit tonne of gigs in a row if they were so I put them on Friday as they are booked up Saturday.

Matt42 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Feeling chaotic. Flo is the missing sub and Harry is in for Aerosmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Glass Animals > Megan > Other Stage headliner on Saturday working quite well. If not, maybe sub headlining John Peel stage for Glass Animals? I still think a lot of acts (sam fender included) were booked way before they started getting bigger and there will be some shifts in the line up because of this As for Florance, I genuinely have no idea. Maybe they wanted to test the new stuff out on tour and do festivals next year? I imagine they'll do a TBA on The Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially a pyramid sub, an other headline, and some special guests to boot. It’s going to be a cracking year. Strap in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Still working through the TBA's but this is my current stab at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 @chazwwedoesnt explain why Florence is doing Europe festivals and none in the UK tho. Many of these were booked 5/6months ago. She has been available to book. Makes me think she does have something booked (hence why she’s nowhere else). Her own gigs makes little sense because surely they would have been up on sale by now? Summers 3 months away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerfish79 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 If we accept Matts premise that there could be a Pyramid sub and an Other headliner left to join the line-up, could one of them be Royal Blood, or have they been ruled out?

FloorFiller Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Can’t wait for Wolf Alice to sub the Pyramid, Megan Thee Stallion to headline Other and nobody to be in place of Aerosmith (or at least nobody who wouldn’t usually be fourth down the Pyramid).

Matt42 Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 Flo as a sub. Harry as a special guest on the pyramid a la Aerosmith, and The Prodigy headlining the other on the Saturday would be some GOAT stuff. Coincidentally the news of Aerosmith dabbing down and Harry coming in came at the same ish time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buzzing for Dermot Kennedy as the missing sub then. Obviously she was a bump up but looks like Christine & the Queens didn't sub Electric Picnic in 2019 while they were an Other stage headliner and Foals were in the same batch of names as Wolf Alice on the 2020 poster, so there is precedent for Glastonbury/Electric Picnic not always matching up. Royal Blood seem to be promoting their UK tour quite a lot at the moment so that could be a reason for leaving them off the poster but as you say, we've had info that they're probably not playing. It's still a bit odd that they haven't been announced for any UK festivals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it makes no sense. I figured EP was a fairly likely option and didn't think Wilderness was entirely out of the question. Of the festivals that are keeping their lineup under wraps - Boomtown doesn't seem to fit stylistically at all. SGP certainly does (and there's history) but seems a bit small for anything other than a "just because I want to do it" type deal, in much the same way that a Park or JP special guest slot at Glastonbury would be. My best guess is that a late Summer or Autumn arena tour is coming? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put your wand away. Glastonbury might want to be giving a leg up to Wolf Alice and might of put them in this spot awhile ago, I very much doubt when Glastonbury were booking their acts they knew all the others places they were booked to play and positions. Beyoncé sub headlined T in The Park when she headlined Glastonbury 2 weeks before. While I agree with you, i dont think they'll sub, I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Christine was a bump up because they lost the prodigy - she was also headlining APE that year. 2019 was a rough year for cancellations so it’s not a surprise that the lineup didn’t make much sense.

jannybruck Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 I suspect Florence is just headlining One Big Weekend as a one off "I'm back" – it's a couple of weeks after the album. Then tour for winter and every festival going next summer. She'll get more media coverage and album lift from doing One Big Weekend than any sort of BST/Boardmasters/whatever.
