Eavis's could ask local council to extend their curfew for Taylor. She is friend of the farm etc.

Taylor can still do it if she finishes her show early in Dublin (at about 7ish; it could be a matinee) then flys down to Glastonbury (Private jet) to take to the stage for 11pm on Pyramid. Its certainly possible! If anything, this news makes it even more likely!

I think you're missing the obvious fact that she's personally invented teleportation, which she's going to demonstrate for the first time by performing two shows simultaneously.

Taylor has added the Sunday in Dublin. So that's that for another year.

Thank holy god for that. Glad all those silly swifty lot will be out on T day.

We should now ban Taylor Swift discourse from all threads

Corrected for you. I’ve heard more pleasantries coming out of the long drops than anything produced by her ‘musically’. Now to put these Rihanna rumours in the bin too and we’re good.

If she positions her plane right next to the stage then she can dash out super quick after the last song and then if Glastonbury sets aside a field or 2 for a landing runway then she could make it in time. Its all about logistics and coordination.

Current prediction: Dua Lipa / Blur / The 1975 (Early Co-Headliner) and Taylor Swift (Late Night Co-Headliner)

A year off from Men With Guitars would be welcome after this year. 

I don't think there'll ever be a year without at least one set of men with guitars headlining.

Is it realistic to think they could book Rhianna and Madonna in the same year? Surely it would be very expensive?

Not really, the fee is the fee. They either take it or they don't.

It’ll happen eventually if the festival continues long into the future. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens within the next decade. Most of the possible headliners being touted for next year aren’t men with guitars.

[Guest]

actually last year was men without guitars. we only got man with bass.

[Isaact]

Dua Lipa / Depeche Mode / Lady Gaga

[addicted2noise]

I managed to bet £8 (the maximum) on Depeche Mode at 25/1 earlier before the odds dropped, it probably won't happen but it'll pay a fair chuck of my ticket if it does.

[addicted2noise]

Also are Coldplay seriously going to get to headline again after another dud of an album just because they're mates with the organisers? Surely not. Dave Grohl needs to take a break from the festival too.

[Guest]

Didn't Coldplay say ages ago that they were planning on taking a prolonged break after 2025? If that's still true then I could see them headlining in 2025 before going away for a while. Will have been 9 years since their last headline too, which is a long time for their standards.

Oh I've just googled this and it turns out he said they'll stop recording music but still tour. Never mind, then.

Keep saying this but surely, surely they’ll be out of action next summer. This tour has gone on forever. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Swifty as a headliner would have added so many more to the ticket bun fight

Or maybe because they're one of the biggest bands in the world that is still selling out stadiums? Arctic Monkeys just released 2 dead albums and Coldplay are MUCH bigger.

They're both still pretty decent albums and AM wasn't out the last time they headlined. Coldplay aren't really going to add anything new to their last set beyond a BTS collaboration.

So the Billy Joel approach then.

[RaphPH]

Btw Chris Martin has said the same after every tour and album.

swear he once said they were only gonna do 7 albums and then stop

[charlierc]

Well if nothing else at least we can move on from speculating Taylor Swift only announcing 2 Dublin dates means she might pop over to Worthy Farm the day after.

Think it could be a vision of the future tbf. The lack of rock acts to come through in the late 2010's to festival headline status means the genre kinda has a future at this level only as long as the same old acts who've been headlining festivals since 2005-09 keep going.
