Kanye West is announcing a full tour and is expected to play Australia as soon as March. Given that timeframe, I'd imagine his tour is dropping EXTREMELY soon.

Kanye trying to double book a stadium is a very Kanye thing to do.

Honestly didn’t think we’d ever get a full tour from him again so I would be absolutely all over this. 

Well, he got knocked back for a stadium show because of the AFL on March 21st, and apparently he'll be doing a show on March 12th instead. That isn't far away at all.

Imagine if glasto booked Ye as a last min replacement for Kendrick lol

edit: although Australia in March?! Seems far too soon considering nothings been announced yet…

Google Kanye West AFL and there's some pretty credible stuff there. I believe it's definitely legit.

[Matt42]

Have a feeling too this would require a crazy amount of staging.

[DomDom1984]

Well, there's plenty of articles out there to suggest this is something that's happening. Whether he's over reaching or not well... it's Kanye West. Guy's a complete moron. So it's more than possible.

I mean he did it last time with no other shows with a whole stage setup especially for Glastonbury so don’t think that would hold him back, but I really don’t think it’s gonna be him. Not gonna totally rule him out because he’s at least active which is more than we can say about Kendrick, but I just don’t see him coming back so soon/ever.

Any day now... right?

Love Ye and would love to see him at the festival again but can't see it, too much smoke with all his trump associations.

But they’re allowed to book Macca shitting himself on stage?

[Matt42]

Ye as Sunday headliner would be lovely but it’s not going to happen. 

Billie Eilish / Paul McCartney / Ye would be a great trio.

Searching Twitter on Glastonbury currently brings up 3 different results.

"Glastonbury wants Harry!", "Glastonbury wants Taylor!", something about Corbyn.

Lots of the Harry ones expecting to be announced for Friday night, I haven't got the heart to tell them.

Most of the Taylor ones seem to refer to that rumour that was shared a few pages back and was clearly bollocks.

I think they'll definitely favour solo acts for the big slots to reduce the chance of covid related pullouts. I wouldn't be surprised if Sheeran headlined again, even though he's done it recently.

Not for 2022 because I think dates make it very difficult but he will be a back pocket option I reckon for the festival. Coldplay, Adele, Ed Sheeran, Arctic Monkeys imo are a bunch of massive British acts that Glastonbury could call if they were stuck and needed a really big headliner.

not 2022 tho

The 1975, George Ezra, Kanye West or whatever the goon calls himself these days... please announce something soon to stop this madness 😶

Think we might be safe from Ezra permanently - his new song is so naff. Saying that I saw him at IOW in 2019 and really enjoyed it - will be very happy once he’s at the point where he floats about on lineups like franz or someone

[balti-pie]

Kanye West, or St Kilda vs Collingwood? 

 

i know which id prefer - and it comes with a pie and a beer 👍

Queens of the Stone age have been removed from the Rock Werchter lineup. Wonder if they'll still be at Glasto too, and if not who will replace them

Wolf Alice would be my guess

I am more into Royal Blood taking that slot.

That would be a great dab up, but putting Wolf Alice against Billie seems ah odd choice

I think it would be a great alternative - gives the indie/guitar fans something they’ll enjoy.
 

I might be wrong but can’t imagine there’s much crossover between Billie fans and Wolf Alice - only speaking in terms of our group, but of the 20 of us going, 2 are definite for Billie whereas the rest of us aren’t bothered, but would all be at Wolf Alice.

Hmm. Still billed for Pinkpop and Mad Cool but not looking good.

[Meerkat]

What was the reason for being removed from Rock Werchter? Is it Josh’s legal situation?

Change in touring plans, apparently.
