Report

Ahead of being announced, I remember Ed Sheeran doing an interview where hes said he knew this was going to be his biggest year, that he wouldn't be able to maintain or top it. I feel that this will be the same for Sam Fender next year, A massive year for him that he may struggle to better, the way the hype is going. I think Glasto will have dropped a massive bollock if they don't have him as a headliner. The only bigger guitar act they could have had was Oasis and thats not happening, so ...

Only names that weren’t just being echo chamber’d around the thread were Foo fighters (but now potentially not), Travis Scott, Central Cee, Chappell Roan and Hozier.   Everything else has essentially been “we expect this act to play for one of the following reasons: - they’re in Europe in August (Post Malone) - they have a new album out and we like them (Bmth)”   Any concrete rumours that I’ve missed there?

thanks for the info 

Oh, absolutely. I'm a shocker of a hypocrite - though I will say that I said in either this thread or another that I have set limits for what I consider acceptable per act.   This ultimately fell below that threshold - just - and indeed, the emotional reaction factored into it.   I'm taking her to see Falling in Reverse week after next - now that is one I could quite happily bin off...

Wafflers to the left of me, wafflers to the right, here I am, stuck in the waffle with you.
