Acts touring around Glastonbury 2021

[1986]

Rage talk a good message and I'm sure have done plenty good or altruistic things (though I don't actually know).

But surely the fact they haven't released a new song in however long and show up to tour every few years is indication enough that they're getting as much money out of the old rope as they can. Meaning a weekend jaunt to Glastonbury and back won't be on the cards.

Also if Glasto (or Rage) give any shit about the environment they shouldn't be booking bands taking 11 hour flights for the sake of 2 hours on stage.

Most of TRNSMT’s line up is carrying over, though I guess that’s somewhat easier when the vast majority of acts are British. I think the only act who was booked for TRNSMT and Glastonbury and isn’t carrying over is Aitch but I think we’ll be ok without him.

For what it's worth.

Drop Outs:
Aitch, Jeremy Loops, Shaybo, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Dermot Kennedy.

Surely Aitch isn’t in the position to be selective about what gigs he does? Did he even tour his debut album? He’l be old news if he gets too picky.

Never known an irrational dislike for something/someone as much as the one I have for Aitch. 
Not that he would have affected my decisions at Glastonbury anyway. But as Matt says, I don’t see what he could have planned so far ahead, unless his exams have been rescheduled for then.

Pahaha good one. Exactly - surely he’s only just stopped performing in small venues? Has he even sold out an academy yet?

his fan base isn’t exactly wide ranging either.

I’m sure Dermot Kennedy has already announced dates over Glastonbury weekend so his tour plans were clearly in place.  Maybe that other fella is the same?

Who knows. I just find the Aitch situation quite strange. He’s doing well at the moment but I can’t see him being a difficult booking. I also can’t see him having plans in place already for 2021 before Coronavirus hit. Just seems like a weird one not to roll over. Maybe he is TBA and he hasn’t signed anything yet — who knows?

He may even feel he deserves higher slots now that the one he initially had? Like you say who knows.

Since we dont really have a ruled out. Halsey still ruled out with a mirror image of tour dates for 2021.

 

 

[Matt42]

Thank fuck

[Matt42]

Hearing little mix, pearl jam, duran duran have rescheduled for BST. I don’t know about the others.

[Suprefan]

David Gray moved his outdoor  uk/Ireland shows to the same dates next year. I know he wasnt on the poster despite being in close proximity, so maybe he still pops up. Or was going to be on the schedule.

Feel like we could be heading for a huge blow on Kendrick and Taylor next week 😬

[jparx]

Maybe Pearl Jam could sneak in.

Hopefully not - though I'll mention again that an initial absence of a rescheduled show doesn't automatically mean one won't eventually come. It's entirely possible that acts of that stature would prefer to wait a bit longer and announce all of their rescheduled european shows at once rather than doing it piecemeal potentially creating further confusion or questions.

Of course the worst case scenario is if they say something definitive like the shows won't happen. That'd be a disaster.

Dunno. Maybe glasto just went with their 2021 options.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Why would they?

However it would be unfair after getting tickets, you dont carry over for the Taylor show. If people get refunds for those shows and they are playing BST next year it isn't really fair.

Would seem very strange for them to offer slots to everyone else and then say to the headliners.... nah you’re going to have to wait

[jparx]

Well, we've heard they're offering slots to everyone for next year and it's obvious they will do everything to bring the headliners back since they worked so hard and long to secure them.

Only chance they've gone for 2021 options is if some/all the current trio can't do it. And even then I think it's more likely the 2021 acts have moved plans to 2022 and we end up with leftovers from the current festival tours (maybe Foals are back in the game 😂)

Source? and reliability?

Common sense I’d say. Can’t imagine either Little Mix or Duran Duran would be particularly tough wells to carry over.

@Brave Sir Robin if there are rumours going around about BST 2021, have you heard ‘em?
