They killers are probably the perfect example of a band who's best year's are behind them and haven't done much of note recently and they still headlined 2019. 

Is p!nk that dissimilar? 

Although I do think she'd be an incredibly unlikely booking. 

I’m pretty sure the Killers were drafted in when their first choice didn’t pan out.

I think this is actually a really good point, pop is meant to be popular and P!nk is certainly not popular now. She has an album every so often but doesn't stay in the limelight at all like similar artists do. Essentially the same as Rihanna really, but maybe even less so.

With bands i don't think this is nearly as much of a thing

Yet booking Rihanna would be a different beast as she’s been pretty inactive on the music front for a while and has pretty much given up music aside from a few features here and there. It’s all about context really. Rihanna would be a “get” and I’d be all over it.

Hmm I do think Pink is slightly more Glastonbury friendly then Justin Timberlake etc as she has a diverse fan base including a lot of gay women and a message that really speaks to women generally.

Kae tempest with a new album in April and a tour around then. They will probably have a slot

Someone hasn't heard Pressure Machine.

Oh i'd love to see Rihanna - i think she's releasing an album this year i read. Given p!nks stadium shows i would say they are pretty similar in size + both have extensively done festivals in the past and are very quiet between album cycles.

Every single year people say she’s releasing an album and she doesn’t. Her heart isn’t in music like it used to be. She’s become a billionaire from her Fenty brand and I don’t think she’s in any rush to return to music (which most likely pays less). I think the promise of an album is something dangled infront of her fans by her management to keep them keen.

Fair enough but she does have songs ready to go currently so maybe 2022 will be the year.

Rihanna? She's..... oh, never mind.

Miles Kane has moved his UK tour to May

You are going to really loose it when you see who's been confirmed for Friday. 

An act that's actually relevant?

Not a huge amount I'd take from there to be honest.

[JSmurphy]

Still don't understand where Metallica fit in this summer. Got to be that final BST headliner, surely?

Get Michael Franti across for West Holts.

I'd take a few from there as I'm well into country music so holding out hope for a strong showing of that genre in 2022.

Yeah that's quite a weak Bottlerock compared to other times. Got 3 acts in total I'd probably look to see. 2021 was way stronger on the top line alone.

I had to zoom in to read ‘Mount Westmore: Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, E-40 and Too $hort’. Sounds class.

[the wonderwhy]

Well I've enjoyed discovering the American remake of IDLES 

[dentalplan]

That’s amazing. Who is it?

[the wonderwhy]

Rainbow Kitten Surprise. Checked em out on Spotify and was NOT shaking my tiny tooshie.

Apparently they aren’t according to sir brave Robin.

Metallica fans left scratching their heads to think where they could be playing in the UK.

Is an extra day added to Download out of the question?

It's not as good as you might hope.

Missed this. In that case I reckon they might skip UK entirely if this is a festival-only tour.

An extra day is out of the question.
