LAWKS! It’s the Next Announcement Thread 2022!

[Avalon_Fields]

I've always doubted Macca will be coming in 2022. Sadly I just think it's wiser for someone of his age to play safe. That may not be the reason, but after he expressed concerns in 2010 I don't see he'll see it's safe and sensible enough now.

This is good stuff. Vintage Efests.

It’s going to be the Who isn’t it. They have dates next summer.

Have you heard anything about him or are we just basing this off that Daily Star thing

I've only been on here since 2019. I think this is the most exciting thing that's happened 😂

Billie and Harry

Crikey…. That’s going to go down swimmingly 

Surely they’ll try and make a deal with the Arctic Monkeys or someone similar to appease people?

So fucking gutting this, genuinely destined to never see McCartney. Something ALWAYS gets in the way

I have to say, the recent Get Back documentary really ramped up my excitement to see him. It's a shame it no longer appears to be happening, particularly galling as I missed out in 2004 due to illness

[scatteredscreens]

Anything but Guns N Roses, deary me 

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

Billie. Harry. GNR

Would be surprised to see the two biggest/most well known festivals in the world share ⅔ headliners, it's happened before but not recently.

1997? Radiohead, The Prodigy, Ash? Weren’t they all relatively new at the time?

Memory's a funny beast, I would have absolutely sworn that The Prodigy were Pyramid sub before Radiohead that year. Huh. 🥴

Yesterday this would have been absurd.

Yeah Macca was the one act from 2020 that I really wanted back. Him and Springsteen are two legendary acts I was really hoping to see this year so it’s a bit gutting if they’ve pulled out of Glastonbury and their tours respectively. 

When was the last time we had no idea who two of the headliners were at this time, 2015 maybe? Kanye was announced in March and was rumoured a bit before then but I don’t think he was ever TBC level, obviously we had no idea about The Who for a while yet too.

[Matt42]

Is Adele back in the mix now?

If it's Billie & Harry then I would be surprised to see Kendrick as the 3rd headliner. That would be a very controversial 3. The guy who mentioned Macca is out, subtly dropped in the name Stevie Nicks. Could this finally be the year Glasto get Fleetwood Mac? That would cheer a lot of people up who were disappointed about losing Macca.

One thing to note though: If Harry headlines Saturday, what of Dua headlining the Other?

As far as we know, Saturday is Dua's only plausible day. Unless Harry does Sunday (and there may be info putting that out of reach), something's amiss there. I can't see the fest running them in direct competition. There's a risk of the headliner being upstaged, not to mention the direct overlap of radio-friendly, Gen Z-ready groovy pop music.

Big if, but I could see Dua pushing up Pyramid sub or a dynamic joint-headline arrangement. Unprecedented but would be a big Saturday night party.

 

Is it worthwhile to suggest that if Macca goes Noel goes? Unless they have him sub someone like GNR.

Noel headlining Other against a Dua/Harry or Harry/Dua double would make heaps of sense.

Yeah makes sense. Harry subbed by Dua and Noel on the other stage. Makes sense to me.

Harry has a tour date on the Sunday, people were suggesting Friday for him before but Billie is obviously on the Friday. So yeah I guess Harry Saturday?
