2027 Headliners


Guest

Recommended Posts

i'd bloody love to see Pearl Jam but im not paying a ridiculous fortune for it for their own gigs, i'd far rather see em rocking up at a festival one of these years. I hope its glastonbury, but theyve never played download either, so its something of a gap on their CV id say - and one thats reasonably easy to fill if you want to do so. Would they be pyramid headliners these days? i'd hope so, itd be a small crowd 😁

Do you reckon they'd be headliner?  In my head they'd be either sub or Other headliner, just feel like they don't have the clout in the UK?  Although that might just be me.  Either way they'd be great.

Would be correct placement, but whether they'd accept that I doubt

Pearl Jam headline or bust I think. They headline everywhere in the US, and also in Europe at big festivals like Rock Werchter and Mad Cool. Think they're more likely to do their own shows / BST, but if not, then Isle of Wight or Download where they can headline outright?

Dont know if it would be billed as Fleetwood Mac, but perhaps some kind of Buckingham/Nicks/Fleetwood supergroup thing could be possible. Theyve said it cant be Fleetwood Mac without Christine McVie, which is fair enough, but i dont suppose Peter Green would have been too chuffed at that - they used to be a very, very different thing! I dunno, a name change makes it a different thing, and a band member change makes it different as well. 

 

so in summary: Dunno LOL

Has this rumour been discussed about Fleetwood Mac reuniting?

I reckon this is more likely to be seen at the top of the bill in 2027 than Oasis.

 

If it's not the full lineup and not as Fleetwood Mac then them playing won't stop Oasis playing. Oasis are top of of 2027 hunches.

Peter Green FM > Coked up shagging each other era FM > Bob Welsh era FM > BuckNicks

 

Anyway, yeah it's just a re release of a mid album.

With Pearl Jam i think i read in an NME interview that they dont wanna play a festival where the tickets sell out before the lineup gets announced as their fans might miss out on going

Yeah Glastonbury might not be for them then. We can therefore assume their new UK shows will be their own dates then.

 

Whether they keep an ambitiously expensive ticket price again is another matter.

Something slightly less exciting then. Bit like how everyone a few weeks ago was sure Talking Heads were about to reunite before we instead got a new music video for Psycho Killer.

 

There's billboards been spotted in LA - it's definitely the reissue

 I read the same or similar - my recolection is that they only do a festival if they are allowed to sell a section of tickets directly to their own fans. 

 

You would think that at some point Glasto must have contacted them and probably put it in the bust pile if thats their red line

Exactly this.  Though I think that at some point they will do it anyway

Not for 2027 but speaking of artists who will probably headline some point down the line, do we think The Weeknd/Abel Tesfaye will ever do it? I know he's said he's been planning to stop making music as The Weeknd but if he keeps going do we think he'll do it at some point? If I remember he was meant to headline West Holts around 2013ish before Bobby Womack stepped in?

Abel is all about the money though he did just announce Global Citizen Fest in NYC... wonder how much he is getting paid there.

 

But I bet his team doesn't really care that much about Glasto's reputation to make it some kind of big honor thing for him.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
