AM, GNR, Liam, Roxy makes me think that things have gone horribly wrong and there’s probably been some very intense meetings in the office.

it really does look like cost of living glastonbury though

I'm still not having Roxy Music in that slot.

Keep the faith, everyone. Loads of festivals across Europe have still yet to pull the trigger on the big name announcements. It's coming. They won't let us down.

That trio would be worth it just for CalGon's reaction.

Correct, whilst we can speculate and try and read between lines I reckon there’s a nice surprise or two in the pipeline. Probably Roxy will play but possibly not in the legends.

Of course Noel is also free that weekend, could it be? 😊😉

There would be a massive fist fight live on stage in front of millions, could work ! 🤣

This is the festival that pulled Kendrick out of the bag in June, when no one else had him. And it was stunning. There might be the odd faux pas now and again, but as I've said before, 9 times out of 10, they get it right from what's available to them.

There's definitely some mileage in the thoughts that securing suitable headliners may be proving difficult this time round. I wonder if the budget cap has become more restrictive than ever. There's a lot of artists and acts who went two years with little income, looking to (rightly) make up for those losses. There's also a load of greedy c**ts too, mind

I think it would coax @russycarps out of retirement for the 20,000th post

[Florian Saucer Attack]

I can't help but feel this is all Taylor Swift's fault. If she didn't reject Glastonbury and consider her English fans as not a priority we wouldn't be in this mess

[Festival Liam]

I know Lizzo is not headliner material (yet), but surely she'd be a better booking than Liam fucking Gallagher? Although I don't think I could take all the 'woke booking' whining for the next 4 years. 

If Liam Gallagher is the bar ... can't we get The XX or Royal Blood? Or some other not big enough British band who would love a bump.

Only Nick Cave confirmed as headliner could do that.

[WhatADin]

Has the Sky Bet page come down?

We really need an announcement 😂 driving ourselves mad in here.

Yeah, just tried finding it on the app too. Curious.

[leath02]

AM, TS, Reg >> AM, GnR, LG is a very disappointing turn of events...

 

[WhatADin]

Hoping that Sky Bet coming down means that something is imminent and it's going to blow our tiny little minds.

 

Or....

 

it'll be Artic Monkeys. 🙃

Back online

Liam now down to 3/1

[Sorcha17]

Surely they'd give someone like Florence a call over LG? (If she was available)

The only way a Gallagher will headline the Pyramid again is if they're together on stage.

[DareToDibble]

The 1975 also down to 3/1. Sign me up.

Yep, spotted.

Reckon we can all just REALLLLLLY cross our fingers and get a one-off Oasis reunion? That with a spot of Blur and Pulp... go for the full Brit Pop effect?

 

EDIT: Also, these are apparently from the future. The person has set the date as 1st December 2022. lol

The "well it's the most well respected festival in the world, huge money-can't-buy promo for any artist, they can get any headliner they want because it's Glastonbury and who wouldn't" narrative potentially getting eroded to smithereens over the course of a few months has been bleakly hilarious.

People want paying 

Imagine that

[clarkete]

What was Noel's notorious put down? 

'Has-beens shouldn't be dishing out awards to gonna-bes.'

I'd rather they get some gonna-bes in the slot 😉

Was gonna say the only way you’d get me to the Pyramid field to watch Liam would be if his special guests were Noel, Guigsy, Bonehead, and Alan White.

Almost certainly still wouldn't bother.

Yes she would and I reckon would be a great headliner.  All the "not big enough" talk doesn't wash with me.  She's got a great back catalogue, new album is fanfuckingtastic and she's an awesome live performer.

Just give it to Confidence Man already.
