Hugh Jass Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Every year the poster drops and there are always one or two acts that nobody sees coming (Katy Perry, Janet Jackson, The National subbing that year). Acts that people haven’t thought likely due to them not touring or having dates anywhere else, being elsewhere around the festival or even exclusives elsewhere… So who would be folks #1 dream “surprise” act on the poster for this year? For me Lana Del Rey returning to reclaim her sub slot would be the one. (Going to discount Kendrick and we’ve had info suggesting he’ll be there and his presence would be greeted with relief more than anything).

Gnomicide Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 (edited) Jane's Addiction. No tour announced but have snuck onto a couple of festival bills, Lollapalooza Argentina and Brazil in March and Rockville Florida in May. A John Peel headline slot in against Billie would be nice.

Matt42 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 To me I’m holding hope that some current big hip hop name makes it on. Dave, Megan Thee Stallion, Doja Cat - one / all of those would really be a nice surprise. All have dates around Glastonbury and seem to be hitting the festival circuit hard next year. Plus neither Dave nor Megan are mentioned as an R&L exclusive whereas Arctics were. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bold man who can face the prospect of an encounter with Perry Farrell - really danger of cringe-related spinal injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Lana Del Rey too. Preferably on the top line. Underlined. In Comic Sans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenelk Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Tears For Fears would be a nice surprise. Is there a reason they've never played? What with Curt being a local lad, and Roland having lived in Bath as a youngster as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chazwwe Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Taylor Swift is the main one, not a real 'surprise' but is my most hoped. As for out there?? Bonobo maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maelzoid Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Chris Rea I have no idea where his health is at since his heart attack, but if ever there was an act in need of a post-ironic critical re-evaluation, he's the guy. Early afternoon on the pyramid would suit nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Sommerville, Lulu, Petula Clark, Darts, Myles Kennedy, Black Crows I was going to put Black Crowes. Big hole in their schedule, US up to May then Europe in September. I didn't realise Darts were still going, that would be a fun show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw them in the late 70s at what was Paignton Festival Theatre, was a highlight for a young Devonian lad who didn't get out much. Of course later on I discovered the Cornwall Coliseum, unfortunately it shut in 2000, happy dayz... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
