Coachella / Goldenvoice have this. Quite often if you’ve signed up for the Coachella, Primavera, APE, etc circuit Coach will have first dibs to announce you.

What does Primavera have to do with Goldenvoice?

Its that sometimes one festival has “first rights” when it comes to  a certain artist being announced on a festival line up. Everyone else has to agree to that sort of thing and has to stay quiet or can face consequences. AEG/GV/Coachella have done this for years and thats why it got to the point where Coachella announces right after the new year so that everyone else can get their line ups out. So now its just getting interesting because Primavera has about 99% of their line up announced and we can be seeing a shift in that policy or its just an exception due to covid. And yeah, with Metallica its not known if Hellfest had dibs and Mad Cool just doesnt care about that with their game. They could have easily just made Metallica immune to this and made it easier on everyone.

Are they? I have heard Live Nation thrown around in terms of MC but never seen them officially connected. Also not mentioned on Live Nations website (though Rock am Ring/Rock im Park aren't either and theyre definetly Live Nation).

Live Nation is involved

So it's looking like M tonight? 

Outside chance of my chemical romance? They have rearranged their tour so may be including a few festival dates.

B is ahead currently, which doesn't do much for the headliners but would pick off a few undercard acts.

Primavera is part of AEG? I've never heard that before. Its also not listed as one of their festivals. 

[WFD]

B it is. Phoebe Bridgers, Blood Red Shoes and Royal Blood can be filled in.

Are the killers back? And who is that first headliner on thursday

[EV123]

Imagine dragons new headliner on thursday? Horrendous if true. 

[WFD]

Leon Bridges after Editors.

My god... This keeps improving.

To be fair before we thought it was Mumford and sons so it’s hardly a downgrade aha

[49Lawson]

Outside chance of Paul McCartney? Just based on what Ken said in the Werchter forums about him being active.

The Killers were his main support at TW Classic too

Going to be devastated when it’s Imagine Dragons now haha

Edit: Scratch that, just realised there’s no T. Ah well

Mad Cool reassuring Billie fans on instagram so thats probably one of the locked headliners.

Not really my cup of tea, but damn. That's stacked. And even three names missing, of which Billie Eilish, Nine Inch Nails and Red Hot Chili Peppers have a good shout.

EDIT: Although all three of them would be first in line. Not last.

+Blood Red Shoes before Marika Hackman and IAMDBB under Parcels. Don't know the lower ones on the Friday and Saturday, can't see equivalents on 2021.

I think Billie could easily go in front of Imagine Dragons.

[WFD]

Spotted one on the Friday, Spielbergs after Zaidbreak. 

Also line above goes Dream Wife, Sleep Token, Higher Power. 

Probably Sylvan Esso under Royal Blood.

Yeah I don't think the headline is in order on the last three days.
