A lot of ACDC rumors the last days. Also talk about a concert in France and Germany. They did PowerTrip so why not Glastonbury.... Although the chances are slim..

Power Trip paid them 12 million dollars.

Suprefan in heaven at the high fee, all doing w*nker signs at Emily Eavis for not trying to match it

Unfortunately not. Also, the tour IF it happens will likely be a limited run. Best optimistic guess seems to be 30 dates worldwide. They ain't gonna blow one on G.

Any idea how much the other bands got paid?

Looking at the prices of some of the tickets they probably all got a hefty fee.

Wouldn't surprise if they took the most, though Tallica drive a very hard bargain.

The music world is full of artists who never really "made it big", despite being so much better than some of those who became massive.

This is not the fault of the artist, the "blame" lies partly on the listening public and partly on mainstream radio stations promoting shite.

And partly on the public liking shite Which is why the radio stations promote shite.

Certainly shows the 'She's either doing one of Glastonbury or Coachella' story to be a load of old hogwash.

lot of hogwash around here  we are each our own filter for what is and isn't hogwash. so looks like you've got there eventually, would have been better if you'd got it originally.

wonder which of coldplay and madonna arent doing it then, as i still believe emily when she immediately flat out denied it.

I’m out of the loop, what did Emily flat out deny?

She denied the headliners were correct. Which is either that Madge isnt signed or that the days are incorrect which means the report was "wrong" but only in that sense.

No-one is happy to take the call from Imagine Dragons...

She denied the headliners were confirmed, not that they were correct was my reading of it.

[Drinky]

The choice of words was awkward - “the story about our confirmed headliners is untrue”.

It's called 'discussion'. 

It's literally the whole purpose of the thread. 

 

[CaledonianGonzo]

I don't think anyone bought that theory. 

[SilverLining]

No way to keep track of the full thred but has anyone floated Britney as a 'massive female headliner thats recently became available'?

Britney has 'quit the business' apparently.

It varies. Recently Macca, Kendrick and Elton all went above and beyond.

Absolutely. There's those who get Glastonbury, and those who don't - and a few in-between. (Guns N' Roses, for all the blowback, probably understood the magnitude of headlining Glastonbury and treated it marginally more than, say, Billie Eilish did.)

But Paul McCartney, Kendrick Lamar, Elton John, Stormzy... they have sets that go down as great ones in no small part because they tackled it accordingly.

Dua lipa first to announce ?

I'd assume so. Dua Lipa to potentially drop pre-Christmas, Coldplay in the new year and then likely Madonna / replacement goldfish with the full line-up? Know Emily said she had hopes to drop a good chunk all at once.

Which headliners did she deny were correct?
