Nobby's Old Boots Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Just now, K2SO said: Could he? Maybe. He's got a fair amount of hits. Would he? Probably not, purely because it's not what the festival is about. Would Bad Bunny headline Glastonbury? Probably not. Is Bad Bunny one of the most popular artists on planet earth right now? Massively. I'm not debating whether or not Kendrick should be headlining the festival, but more the validity to the claim that he's the festival's biggest get for ages. So in response to me pointing out that your comparisons are bizarre, you pull out a worse one? Cool. And no, Snoop absolutely could not headline...

Then the next one had the Rolling Stones and Arctic Monkeys. Nowadays people like Billie Eilish and George Ezra headline. It's a tragic state of affairs. How dare a major festival keep up with modern music If you don't like it, there's around 80 more stages you can go to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we've had friends of the festival (looking at you Chris!) and acts already playing, turn up for other sets (eg: The Boss with Gaslight Anthem) but from memory, i cant think of a big surprise act thats popped up as a guest. And cue the wave of instances to prove me wrong... Lou Reed with Gorillaz was a bit of moment.... and The Edge with Muse.....? Neither playing elsewhere those years AFAIR. John Paul Jones with Seasick Steve? Probably some much bigger ones too but those surprised me at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it’s easy for them to monitor the usual groups and then remove it once it has gained traction. On her account. Thought it would be a cool account to follow when I came across it a few weeks ago and in the main it’s just been random signs but today I saw that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersnooper Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 So I heard the Jack White WG rumour from some industry people. But if the majority of rumours are going with Bastille for WG then so be it 😞 Probably not Aerosmith by the sounds of it but I’m going to keep manifesting Eminem showing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

august1 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I seen Alicia Keys was keen to do Glasto in 2020 even as a secret slot and had a gap, decent gap this time as well, presumably no interest from the fest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Didn't someone mention Ezra a day or two ago? Something said on the radio about one of his songs sounding great at Glastonbury? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only is Kendrick massively popular, but he's so critically acclaimed it's ridiculous. He's the Radiohead of the rap genre basically. And he's at his peak. I saw in another thread people think he's set won't be busy. I'm going with a group of 20 (all around 30 years old) and he's the only act that everyone universally agrees they are going to seehttps://www.metacritic.com/person/kendrick-lamar Agreed.. out of 15 or so of us going, he's one of the only acts we're all seeing together (aged between 30-40) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some Radio1 presenter said something after one of his songs, people weren't sure if they meant Ezra himself or the lyrics talking about blue skies and green grass Edited June 18, 2022 by leath02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that after McCartney and Diana Ross, he'll have the biggest crowd of the weekend.

downtherabbithole Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 also I think Harry Styles coming out as a guest with Billie is quite likely. They're friends, he's attended the festival before, he'll be headlining the festival next year, and he's in the country. If there was a place to bet for these things, I'd stick a tenner on it actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Ezra is popular but to say he’s a bigger draw to 20-30’s than Billie, Sam, Olivia, Kendrick etc is mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
