2027 Headliners

[NorthernSoul52]

That might speak more to your circles. Most of mine admit they'd be delighted to see the High Flying Birds again.

 

If Oasis aren't active, you're still going to get people going to their solo shows, I'd wager.

[NorthernSoul52]

I know I've touted her as an option, but honestly, not sure if Chappell Roan will crack on to bigger and brighter things. Think she could pump the brakes herself, which might make it a coup if she does play, of course.

[Ben7amin_]

Massively controversial I'm sure...

 

I'd take Linkin Park as a headliner  anyday should they be available.

 

 

Sadly Pretty sure Dowbload would take them with ££££ before glastonbury got a sniff sadly

Simply too early to be confident re. Roan at this juncture.  Be interesting to see how well The Giver does - or whether Good Luck, Babe was a lightning in a bottle moment

Absolutely concur. No desire in the slightest to see her trajectory slow, and it's definitely fun to guess for the future. But gut feeling says she won't be at this level come two or three years.

 

Of course, success at this level now might be more than enough to preserve those upper spots on bills.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not heard The Giver yet, but I'm aware there's a US tv version of it out there.  She played a couple of other new tracks when she toured last year but neither of them really lodged in my mind.

I think the money is the simple issue. With your big overseas acts who have no prior relationship, it's balancing the books. Partner them with Raye and Radiohead, and you can probably afford them.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Money is not the reason that Linkin Park aren't likely to headline El Pointo any time soon.

[TheFieryFurnace18]

Tame Impala, I assume, will headline soon

[NorthernSoul52]

No, but it is the reason they would probably turn it down if, in some world, they were asked.

 

I don't think it would ever get to that stage, but still.

Sadly think their time has never been there and never will be. Will need their next record to absolutely shift, likely with a crossover hit to boot.

I would not assume that.

As you say, they'd need to be asked to be on a position to turn it down.

Aye. You can throw them into the list of "likely big enough to do it, not likely to be asked" for me. It's not that massive as lists go, but it's got a few on it. (See; Drake.)

[Andre91]

I reckon Linkin Park will be at R&L in 2026. 
 

They’re never headlining Glastonbury. 

[archiegow]

Sam Fender/Harry Styles/Lady Gaga

 

BMTH as a rogue shout for 2027 or 28 if they get a few more crossover hits under their belt.

[WhoOdyssey]

I just can’t see BMTH ever having enough clout with non-metal fans to headline, I’d love them to though. 

[NorthernSoul52]

BMTH progressively getting more and more radio airplay and bigger shows under their belt. Still a long way off - as said, they need that sustained crossover success to make it - but I can't discount them entirely either.

[Guest]

Fontaines DC should headline 2027 without a dow't….id go as far as saying there becoming a band of a generation and it’s been far to long for a band in there up & coming prime that has headlined…

 

Oasis will definitely end there tour at Glastonbury if they can stomach each other to see it out….that is a dead cert billion percent ! 2027 / 2028

But I’ll go….

 

Fender

Swift

Fred Again

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Get this sense that unless Swift feels some sense of loyalty for a cancelled booking, she won't be back without serious persuasion.

[LateStarter50]

Let’s have Muse. They would put on a massive show.

WoTP tour had an amazing amount of material and I can imagine another album by then too.

2004 and 2010 were immense. 2016 a bit rubbish. But by 2027 it would have been 11 years between visits so could be a good shout!

Not really Linkin Park anyway. Its fine if you are a Scientology apologist. Thats why they get the right acts like Deftones.

 

 

Gaga, Florence, Raye ( if she hadnt been booked this year )

[Dales]

Chappell Roan, Oasis & Bring Me The Horizon

 

 

[NorthernSoul52]

Whoever said Muse might have a point. Genuinely not sure where they are level-wise - albums still shift decent numbers, but their stadium shows appear to be getting progressively into smaller-style venues. (Not that this should be a barrier.)

 

If they came out and basically did a pure hits affair, I think they could make it work.
