That band who won Eurovision 'Maneskin' are at a festival in Oslo on June 24th and then they don't have anything else listed.

I personally would love this but I’m thinking it could just be download.

Unsure as to when and why "global" stardom became a metric for headlining. If an act is big enough in Britain to headline Glasto then it doesn't matter their standing in the rest of the world; there's plenty of acts who'd be nailed on headliners in various other countries around the world that wouldn't be here, and it's the same the other way round.

Absolutely. And what do we even mean by it? Do we mean “is big in every country in the world”? Or do we mean “have cracked America”?

Obviously it’s totally subjective, but I wouldn’t have called Florence, Kasabian or Stormzy global stars when they headlined. Even if the concept can be defined, I don’t think it’s a prerequisite.

Hopefully theyre fine with just being on The Pyramid at 4pm and not 8pm just cause they won Eurovision.

gigs on the Friday and Sunday. I would say they are unlikely to be playing.

Glastonbury dates are 22 to 26

 

 

So it looks like they are only busy on the Saturday of the festival (25th)

 

Also Courtney Barnett is support for a few of the gigs, so perhaps she might swing by the farm too, cos that's be amazing 🙂

So they’re about Friday and Sunday?

You wouldn’t put it past them to pop up in some capacity somewhere…

I still believe that they were down for a surprise set for the 50th and this is being rolled over. They were randomly doing a string of EU festivals with no album on the horizon (at the time) and no UK date.

We can only hope not

There was a BBC article on what would have been Glasto weekend in 2019 saying Mumfords were due to play a lunchtime Pyramid set no? Could see that being carried over to 2022 with Foo's instead.

i could see Dave showing up with krist novoselic to play a few songs with Paul McCartney

That's what I was thinking, could easily see him popping up with whoever headlines on Sunday.

The suspicion was that Mumfords were the missing sub below Taylor.

FFRETURNS22 is the code

So do these dates make Macca more likely for the Sunday?

Reg on the Saturday (he's playing Wednesday and Tuesday so having him smack bang in the middle of those dates makes sense).

Billie - Reg - Macca.

Nailed on.

Depends if and when Macca signed on the dotted line for 2022. If he’s just rolling over from 2020, like many others, then I can’t see him doing any other night other than the Saturday. I can’t imagine he’d be asked to do the Sunday instead because they’ve bagged Reg as a replacement for the original Sunday headliner, but it suits Reg to do the Saturday instead.

In my nine years so far, I've never seen a Sunday night Pyramid headliner. If I could make Macca my first, I'd be over the moon!

But if Macca wants to get his mate Dave up on stage and he’s only available on the Sunday…

They had 3 songs in the top 20 at one point around a month ago, not sure how they are doing now and most likely won’t have any contingency but still pretty big currently

But he also wants yer Aerosmith dudes up onstage too, as arranged two years ago, and they’re still playing the Saturday 

[Gnomicide]

He's already had yer Foo Fella up for a couple of songs at least once. Macca ain't changing his date just so Dave can run about to Band on The Run.

Are you sure? It does have the word "Run" in it....

[Mouseboy11]

Awfully difficult to declare you’re going to play ‘all fucking night’ if you rock up for a secret set in the middle of the day.

2008 at Anfield. He did drums for Back in the USSR. Great stuff.

He probably did more that year as well I guess.

Must be the first band to play Villa Park in about 10 years. Was beginning to think it had lost its licence.
