I can believe it, and it's sad really. She's not the only one of course. We should value those huge acts who are interested in what Glastonbury is and what it represents, rather than just the money (...the likes of Coldplay!)

 

You're absolutely right but also, let's not take it personally when an act or artist doesn't value the festival as much as we do. To some, it'll just be another large show in a field

Or was it for later years ? 

When she was planning the Eras Tour?  Maybe....but that could be as simple as it really not being intended for festival stages

And certainly no point when the evidence seems fairly thin.

Taylor is prob the only act I'd bother to return in 25 for. After going in 23, my head and missing 22, my head said I definitely want to attend 24 but money etc may make this the last one...of course this will all be shite come next November lol. 

But on a serious note, I don't want to camp/rough it forever.

She mentioned Glastonbury in her BRITs speech in May 2021 so it definitely didn't drop immediately out of her conscience after Folklore/Evermore

We've had so many amazing memories inn the last 15 years, from playing Shepherd's Bush Empire, to playing the O2 Arena, to playing Wembley Stadium, and hey, because of you, last year I almost played Glastonbury so. But, we all know what happened next, the world changed and I ended up putting out three albums instead.

...and their below market headliner payments!

Meh - even when she was in a slightly less than extraordinary purple patch career wise she was hardly f**king down the dumper like Matt Goss.  She was still one if the biggest acts on the planet and was always taking a pay cut to play.

Taylors friends are haim and Ed sheeran , 100% there will have talked about how important glastonbury is 

[CaledonianGonzo]

She lived off and on in the UK for the last 6 years. She knows.

Only she was booked in 2020, so clearly not.

Since then she’s relentlessly re-released albums and charged over £100 for tour tickets where you can’t see the stage so I beg to differ……

I can't decide if Swift will still be touring her current run into 2025 or not. If the stone is there to be bled, maybe so.

Theres dates....

Yup, they are both English acts though so they get it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Haim?

More Eras tour dates? We can rule her out, if so.

Haim ain't English. Also it's possible to grasp the concept of Glastonbury and not be from this country.

Oh my bad, I genuinely thought they were.

From San Francisco, live in LA now

I've seen interviews with then talking about how there watched glastonbury growing up and always wanted to play 

[FloopFiller]

Yeah can’t fault Haim’s enthusiasm for the place. Didn’t the bassist get stung in the face by a bee or something when they played a few years ago and just keep trooping on or did I make that up? 

Edit: Hmm Googling it gives me nothing so maybe I did make it up or confuse them with somebody else.
