2020 headliners

[jparx]

Can't imagine standing there during All Too Well and thinking "yeah it's good, but damn this would be so much better if she wasn't doing BST next week". 

It's not even like BST is before Glastonbury and we're getting their seconds. Glastonbury is so clearly the focus of their UK shows.

Is it a usual thing for the Glasto headliners to also headline BST? 

Is it just me or does it make them seem a little less "special"? 

Maybe 1 but not sure about 2 in the same year, which makes me think it might not be Kendrick! 🙄

[CaledonianGonzo]

Put it another way:  will it make you enjoy Macca more?

I did go to the first night at Hyde Park, but it was a mere shadow of the Glastonbury set.

Hot take: I thought their show at the London Stadium two years ago was better than Glastonbury.

Can't comment on the London show, but the Glastonbury show came supplemented with Lisa Fisher, Bobby Keys and Mick Taylor which, as a fan, was something I didn't hate to see.

Different beasts - GF was more about the occasion and sense of history around them finally doing it for me. London they were just fantastic musically.

Could be way off the mark here but was there a thing at one point about a solo Male headliner who hadn’t played before?
 

Creamfields announced Calvin Harris as a U.K. dance festival exclusive today which is weirdly niche and almost like they’re desperate to claim some kind of exclusive so we know he’s playing somewhere else. Could obviously be TRNSMT, IOW or any other big festival in the U.K. but could it also be Glasto?

Covered in the Other headliner thread chief. If he's anywhere near Glastonbury that's where he'll be.

Somebody on a Glastonbury Facebook group claimed to have heard he was headlining Other Stage on the Saturday night a month or so back, so this ‘dance festival exclusive’ adds weight to that. He won’t be headlining the Pyramid.

Other headliner if anything surely rather than Pyramid.

[chazwwe]

Calvin played back in 2007. Not him. 

[woyski]

Calvin will be secret set

[CaledonianGonzo]

People can probably stop tying themselves in knots trying to conjure up someone that isn't Kendrick.

Trnsmt and Isle of Wight have announced their headliners.

But he could also play radio 1 big weekend or reading and Leeds.

This.

Any chance of Green Day to headline the Friday? I know they have a gig that night but is there any chance?

No chance.

It would be pandemonium wherever he played except Other (or Pyramid).

I can see him in the same vein as Deadmau5 & Skrillex that have played the Other in the past. Which might rule out Massive attack as a headliner.

He played his live set back then, very different to what he does now. Maybe the Eavii forgot.

[squirrelarmy]

Not that fussed about Kendrick however if he show’s up with Dre and Eminem I’ll probably give it a go. If not you’ll find me in the naughty corner. 

[Bisque]

As long as Eminem doesn’t mime.

Some efesters in the past have said he will never play due to his homophobic lyrics etc but this is another level. It could happen for an encore but I can’t see it happening.

 

Three massive acts on one stage.

[Nobody Interesting]

Has this been discussed and overly thought about on here?

Does Kendrick do 3 nights on the trot - does anyone know what day he is playing Lollapalooza?

He often did 3, 4 and even 5 nights on the run on his last tour, and I'm not sure what day he's playing there myself but I'm fairly certain it isn't the Friday.

I knew people here would know.

So, nothing to see here..................... move along.

[SwedgeAntilles]

He's playing Sunday at Lolla

[Matt42]

@Nobody Interesting he’s playing lolla Stockholm on the Sunday and somewhere else on the Saturday.
