2027 Headliners

[balti-pie]

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 😁

[Justcalledtosay]

I don't see Pearl Jam headlining with so many other better options available.

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

[BlackFoxx]

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? 

[charlierc]

Yeah I don't think Pearl Jam would be at Glastonbury, and if they were booked, it would be headliner or not at all.

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.

[balti-pie]

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 

[Justcalledtosay]

Do their demands change with a different name?

if it was the much-vaunted million quid each, then playing as a three piece is a good bit cheaper than the most famous five piece lineup 😄

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.

[charlierc]

We're assuming the budget can only afford one of Oasis or Fleetwood Mac if the latter really is reuniting.

It looks like its a reissue of this:

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

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.

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.

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.

Practically a bargain at those prices.

Tame Impala to headline Pyramid 2027.

New album on the way, headlined other in 2019. Pyramid only place for them now surely

They could easily slide back down the way

I reckon they would be headlining the other again.
