Lol. 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.

I'm almost certain that post was talking about Kendrick, not George Ezra

aha that is definitely mad! I was talking about Kendrick. Not only is he the only person everyone in our group of 20 is going to see, but after speaking to other people I know, he's also the number 1 must-see of their group. I think a few people on here will be surprised how busy his set will be

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...

He certainly didn't when he played in the middle of the day in 2010.

Yeah I was thinking West Holts headliner for Alicia, nice & cosy, but I guess that'd get too rammed

I think Alicia is a third down pyramid / sub at a push job tbh.

With all the ridiculously wild suggestions being thrown around (Eminem, Rhianna, etc) got me thinking... when has someone 'big' ever actually gone out of their way to make the trip to the farm to guest on a song?

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...

Do half the acts in the Gorillaz set count?

insta story from the sign painters saying “Gold Rush Kid John Peel stage 2pm” & Matt Edmonson let it slip on BBC radio 1 yesterday.

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

And she usually bring out some guests. At Coachella she had Damon Albarn doing some Gorillaz stuff one weekend and Hayley Williams doing a Paramore song the other weekend. Harry Styles would make sense.

Wonder if she could rope Kate Bush in for running down the hill to celebrate it getting number 1

I think Stu knows that, as I’m guessing it was him who made the tweet. 🙂

It would be the first time Kate has been seen in public for 8 years.

I really don't understand your criteria for a comparison then, sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh, I've no doubt.

Sorry if this has already been discussed, I’m a few pages behind: 

 

I think they shot themselves in the foot a bit having such massive TBAs recently. Everyone is expecting someone huge 

 

I’m sure my first year (08)I went to a TBA and it was Cerys matthews and I was thrilled 😆

Eh, it’s still a massive booking, will be absolutely rammed and people will love it. Sure it’s not the stadium sized headliner that The Killers have lead us all to believe we’ll be getting every year and I’m sure people will be vocal about their disappointment for the next few days that they were promised Arctic Monkeys but got Ezra instead, but the day of the show that tent will be popping and everybody going will leave very happy, and the rest of us will be very happy elsewhere.

[FloorFiller]

Also I’m continuing to be on the ‘Harry comes out with Billie’ train - always made far more sense than him doing a solo show of his own and links with her Coachella guest appearances well. Them two doing a version of What Makes You Beautiful - you heard it here first. 

[AlexOvd]

I'd rather Mumford than Ezra and I am not joking.

My first year was 2008. The special guests on the park were Franz ferdinand and last shadow puppets with Jack white

Lol, colour me completely incorrect then. Tbf, it was my first time and I was so overwhelmed I probably missed all the big acts while lost in theatre and circus 

[CaledonianGonzo]

So the 2008 and 2021 special guests are the same bloke. Doesn't really suggest over-ambiition.
