[gregory]

You are all getting your wish;

Announcement (possibly full lineup) on Tueday 25th.

Full line-up in January? No way, not here ;). But to be fair, it should be something big, as the last time they announced announcements was 2 years ago, if I remember correctly.

[Rico_Pliskin]

Parklife in UK are announcing Tuesday also.

Kanye West? Or another big hip hop star.

More likely, although I remember him saying his new show is made for stadiums.

 

Run the Jewels, they're in the area

Yeah, unfortunately that's very likely. Still hoping for QOTSA though.

Regarding second line names, I think we can expect some of these: Polo G, Modest Mouse, Glass Animals, Leon Bridges, Tom Misch, Little Simz, Foals, Black Pumas, Arlo Parks, Pheobe Bridgers, Jorja Smith, Charli XCX, Kacey Musgraves. Would love to see Fontaines DC, Turnstile, and The War On Drugs, but these are rather unlikely due to their schedules.

Hopefully if it is Florence that her new album will be different.

All her albums are the same.

 

Maybe Florence 80s electro is what we need.

 

If Qotsa are added I hope they don't share with Imagine dragons.

Why does FATM seem so certain?

[rummy]

She's just been announced for some other festivals in nearby countries around the same time and fits with the sort of cheaper headliners Opener books these days.

Announced today for Tempelhof in Berlin, available the entire Open'er week, played Open'er and Orange Warsaw Festival (the same organiser) before, very popular in Poland.

And also apart from QOTSA and maybe The Killers (but only for Wednesday), it's hard to find someone who can fill the headliner or co-headliner spot, unless we're waiting for someone with no dates yet (The Weeknd, Kendrick?).

However, it's quite unusual that we still don't have any rap names. That's why it wouldn't surprise me if it's gonna be ASAP Rocky or J. Cole tomorrow.

Seems like good shouts. J. Cole is headlining Woo-Hah festival in the Netherlands and is nearby.

Yeah, but I guess he's nothing more than a co-headliner when it comes to Open'er; he would be a good replacement for ASAP Rocky, who was supposed to play along 21 Pilots on Thursday.

That still leaves us with one spot for a headliner and one spot for a co-headliner.

Isn't the lack of rappers in the line-up more a thing of avoiding American artists due to Covid? They have to get SOMEONE though.

Out of 3 headliners, two are from US, so don't really think that's the reason.

Actually, all of them are from US. Dua Lipa lives in the US as well nowadays.

[Rico_Pliskin]

May be unrelated, End of the road festival is also announcing tomorrow.

So that's Parklife and the above also announcing tomorrow.

I see, you're right.

Anyway, A$AP Rocky is in Europe in July. So is Tyler The Creator, but AFAIR he's playing another festival in Poland. Meghan Thee Stallion sounds like a legit option too, she also has some July European dates.

Yeah, Tyler is doing Orange Warsaw Festival which is held by Open'er organisers. The problem is that he is the only act and the festival takes place first weekend of June what makes people doubtful about it...

As for ASAP, he was one of the first artists announced for 2020 and 2021 editions, so it's quite strange he's not there yet for this year.

Maybe the YET part here is crucial 😉

[Rico_Pliskin]

This is who Parklife are announcing tomorrow. Perhaps one of these

PARKLIFE Festival is coming back bigger than ever, with performances from Tyler The Creator, Megan Thee Stallion, Lewis Capaldi, and 50 Cent’s only UK festival performance of the year.

Pinkpantheress, Jessie Ware, Annie Mac, Headie One, Central Cee And Chase & Status
