Some people in here are saying its Harry Styles and his tour dates match, but that info isn't correct? His dates don’t match. AM are on the Friday and he’s busy on the Saturday. Elton is headlining the Sunday. There’s never any evidence if you close your eyes and ears to all things pointing towards it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I'm not sure what the reason would be to hold back an announcement for Arctic Monkeys. GnR I can understand as they have BST tickets to shift but the AM tour sold out months ago. I dunno, part of me still thinks there's an ace in those denim shorts They hold back announcements till the poster every year. They probably want some headliners in the mix for when the full thing drops. I don’t think there’s anything more to it. Just under 10 years ago we pretty much got nothing until we got the full thing. Them letting us know headliners as soon as they can is a relatively new thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see good discussion and thats where we are until things get fully confirmed . it is the best info we have , no doubt of that ... doesnt mean discussion should stop ... the importance is that people feel free to suggest or DM info because as we know things do change No one is saying discussion should stop - but when we get an idea of what we are probably getting and it’s very hard to disprove it or challenge it, I dunno what you expect.

I would hope that those with any experience of headliner threads haven't entirely closed things off in December to keep exploring whats available ...... or what might become available Edited December 22, 2022 by Crazyfool01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elton could die. Axl and Slash could fall out again. Obviously we don’t know who is headlining until we see them on the stage. But if we are talking about who is booked right now… you need to disprove AM and GNR before any other suggestion is taken seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Florian Saucer Attack Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 @mike46 and @DeanoL if you can't say what you've heard about the headliners can you at least say if Harry Styles is involved? Or failing that the genres of the remaining acts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenG92 Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 I've got it on good authority that Tool were offered the Saturday spot, but turned it down because quote "they just wouldn't get it". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be right, they might have misunderstood and it’s actually for ‘24, or it might have once been true and has since fallen through.

Off topic, but as no one’s mentioned him for a few pages. Everyone’s favourite nepo baby DJ is also lining up some massive shows which, if they end up signing for the number of nights they’re in talks for, will mean anyone who’s not seen him yet will definitely get a chance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrancisH Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 6 hours ago, VCK said: Objectively speaking, AM, GNR and Elton is a top, top set of headliners. By far the biggest band in the country, plus two all time musical legends. Three immensely strong, undisputed headliners. And if they had Beyonce or Rihanna instead of any of those three I'd still be thinking the same. I'm sorry that you can't look past an artist's skin colour or gender to appreciate this. I literally said in the post you replied to "and I'm definitely not saying that it would not be a huge set of bookings" ??? what an odd thing to say regarding skin colour and gender. I'm saying I believe Emily will book more diverse, not less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
