Ive come to accept thar grace jones is never doing west holts. It makes most sense out of any potential booking out there, but if it was going to happen it would have happened by now. She is interested in £

This is so beautiful that it would never be real - despite being pretty realistic!

i like your prediction overall! Tenacious D 4th down on the other and pixies secret set aside as completely unrealistic 😂

I don't think gerry is about, also Wizkid is doing a stadium in London and is a fair bit bigger than Burna Boy who is the obvious 2022 comparison. Not sure he'd take sub

Would love to know the ballpark fee for a West Holts headliner - she's headlining one of the Camp Bestivals this year, in the company of Primal Scream, Groove Armada, Rudimental, The Human League, Confidence Man, Craig David, The Kooks and Sophie Ellis-Bextor, most of whom are entirely within a West Holts third down budget, never mind headliner.

"Craig David presents TSS" is immediately below her on the poster she's on - he played that same set on a boat in Sydney Harbour to about 1000 people at 30 quid a head couple of weeks ago.

re craig david that might be regional differences - he headlines a lot of smaller fests in the uk and would definitely do bigger than 1k in london. not huge by any means though.

He’s a funny one, just plays everywhere. packed out the O2 in London twice, sold out AO arena in Manchester, but has also recently played that Sydney boat thing, a LIV Golf event and the Capital FM Jingle Ball.

Figure he’s not expensive.

Where do I sign? Switch YYY with KG+TLW and it would be perfect! (Going for The Park on Fri and The Pyramid on Sat and Sun)

Sydney is a completely different market to the UK, hes just not that big abroad think like Courteeners or someone.

Dua Lipa did the jingle bell ball, they do get some larger names.

I doubt hes super expensive just mean that the sydney boat party is a poor comparison ^^

Appreciate that! Originally had Tenacious D 4th down on the Pyramid but moved it down and didn't want to get rid of them. Maybe I'm dreaming on a Pixies secret set

[sisco]

My current thinking for Header, Sub and OS is:

 

Arctic Monkeys, Royal Blood

Sam Smith

 

Dua Lipa, Pulp

The Prodigy

 

Elton John, Lizzo

QOTSA

Is there info on Sam Smith being around again? 

The rest (bar Elton) I can see, not getting my hopes up about Reg.

Was Joey T

[nikkic]

My current guesses………
 

AM, Aitch
GNR, Lana
Dua Lipa, Pulp

Prodigy
Lizzo
QOTSA 

Aitch is a bit out there, but I think there’ll be a UK rapper in a prominent slot, so he’s my loose guess.

Tbh AJ Tracey was the highest billed UK rapper in 2022… doesn’t necessarily mean so.

But Aitch won’t sub.  No way.

I expect Doja where Aitch is.

As I said loose guess based on very little, apart from the fact I think the festival will have a UK rapper somewhere decent. 

I’d also forgotten about Doja, but yeah she’s better suited. 

Maybe Aitch can sub The Other instead.

Harry Styles is surging in the odds. Now above Eminem.

After his info leading up to this years festival I'll believe most of what he says. 

[TownesMR]

Starting to think Fred Again might be too big for WH. Unless his hype dies down, it's hard to see him doing that stage unless the counter programming was really big.

Really don’t see him getting too big for WH. Sure he has a lot of hype behind him right now, but vs. two other huge headliners on the Pyramid and Other, + the other stages, a lot of people will be elsewhere. Think he’d pack the field out, but not to unsafe levels or anything.
