LAWKS! It’s the Next Announcement Thread 2022!

[Justcalledtosay]

There's no way Noel subs Harry Styles and rightly so.

[Hugh Jass]

If they’re looking for a massive crowd pleasing rock band who almost certainly wouldn’t cancel to balance it out then the Foo Fighters are available on the Sunday.

Definitely on the list of bands they’d call if they’re in a bind…

[PolygonWindow]

I’ve never laughed so much at a forum.

You guys are nuts, calm tf down 😂

Can’t see Harry and Billie headlining the same year personally.

[mufcok]

Are Arctic Monkeys down as an exclusive for R&L?

Tour dates don't rule it out + Emily took the fairly unusual step recently of breaking the usual pre-announce omertà to say 'ooh we've got to have GNR on the farm one day, don't we, would love that.'

Could have been some tactical up-dabbing after one of Ken or Mac dropped.

I do think there's a chance Emily's comments were made to prepare people for GnR as an option and get some demand out there for them.

GUNS N ROSES😂😂😂😂😂😂

Yes talk about bands to ring if you are in a bind. Think they were booked last min as a replacement for Aerosmith at another fest yesterday?

and this is only the start 🙂 

there are no depths to the minutest details about things on here. 🙂

[jparx]

In terms of US acts bailing on tours, I do feel GnR would be a fairly safe bet. They were one of few acts to do a pretty hefty tour (by Covid standards) last summer, so they seem willing to get out on the road.

[kingcrawler]

It will be a good laugh on here tonight when Emily announces that Coldplay are headlining the Saturday night, which will have us doubting and ruling out all of McCartney, Kendrick, Dua Lipa and Harry Styles.

Could they shift Noel over to Other headliner against Harry and have Dua subbing?

Would make much more sense.

Especially given the festival's focus on a 50:50 split between men & women headlining, would be a tough one to justify Harry taking precedence over Dua as headliner, surely? Or am I wildly off base in judging his popularity?

[Florian Saucer Attack]

@JoeyT what say you about this no McCartney travesty? Has your inside source gave you any kind of update?

Sorry if you've already said and I missed it

Harry is playing stadiums. Dua couldn’t sell out arenas.

Sometimes the facts speak for itself.

What's your insight on Coldplay, who specifically said they aren't playing then eh? 😏

[EFC1996]

Oh the excitement of this thread today is really getting me through work 🤣 What are the odds of it being Harry do we reckon? I’d be a bit disappointed tbh.

I’ve been here a while but never seen anything like this. This is box office!

So I was told this info a little over 2 weeks ago and firmly believe this was around the same time the place I heard it from got the info.

It was given in good faith however I can't judge how recent where he got it from was given this info therefore perhaps it was / is out of date? Obviously there is a chance that the info was correct originally and by the time it's got to being put out on efests it's out of date.

Either way, it's come from somewhere we'd all consider as solid. 

[rawrsomesauce]

Harry and Billie headlining in the same year would be great

Meh, outside of the UK they're playing the same venues, and she's doing 11 UK arena dates, including 2 nights at the O2, v his 5 stadium ones.

Fair point on ticket sales though.

In 2015 when they didn’t have a Sunday headliner they kept Florence as a sub. I think this could have been the same. See if you can get someone else before immediately bumping someone up. 

Yeah, a normal year with a normal amount of touring acts. Not a year when headliners are disappearing because of a pandemic and this is why they’ve probably lost their headliners.
