Acts touring around Glastonbury 2021

[lighthouse]

Well haven't they pushed the 50th anniversary edition to next year? Then it would only make sense to push the 50th Glasto headliners too.

Dunno. Maybe glasto just went with their 2021 options.

That would make no sense at all.

Source? and reliability?

Friend in music press, there’s an announcement due next week. They might have seen something before the weekend.

I hope not. Big my dad saying every one of his birthdays is his 27th vibes.

Guns n Roses touring next year now. Be nice if they were on the backup list...

Don't know if anyone has posted already but Foals sounds of the city has been postponed to 30th June 2021 so seems reasonable to assume they'll be at Glasto.. potentially heading other stage?

They weren’t headlining it this year so not sure why they would be next.  The tour dates have been the same for both years

Aye, looks like Foals were overlooked this year.

Paul Heaton rearranged his big Manchester gig for the following weekend 😁

Sorry, couldn’t find a better pic

And another one.

Sam fender headlining makes me think he could have taken a massive slot this year.

Well subbing other at a maximum.  Think most presumed that or 3rd down didn’t they?

No Fontaine’s DC for this one though.   Have arranged another gig though around Glastonbury time so we should be safe there

But who would have actually played it?

Bearing in mind that Sam Fender will get a higher spot next year anyway.

Why?

[SwedgeAntilles]

I'm all for booking Sam Fender to headline next year, safe in the knowledge he'll cancel and we can replace him with someone good.

He is good.

Because he will be a bigger artist, RB and Gerry are already at sub level. It's clear that Sam was around 3rd, some putting him 4th down Other this year. He's not topping This is Tomorrow and playing lower than Other sub which barely anyone had him for this year and his tour wasn't suggestive of it either.

He was headlining This is Tommorow anyway.  Nothing has changed at all.

The thing with all these rescheduled gigs is that the acts who weren’t booked for this year weren’t booked, and there’s no mystery in the acts coming back who were booked. It’s like reading the ‘Acts touring around Glastonbury 2020’ thread with the answers in hand.

Oh apologies, I actually didn't realise that he was. I originally didn't think he would be anything but Pyramid this year.
