She wasnt charging nearly the same rate pre eras as she is now. I think she already has the legacy thing sorted? Most over exposed artist being paid with exposure she could get on her own doesnt seem that interesting to her ego. And rumor was you would have to book the stage lineup to her liking. So Taylor and friends is a compromise theyre willing to make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think massive paycut is a bit diff now than in 2020. It comes down to whether she wants to do it on a personal level, as it does with any big American artist playing the festival. Foo Fighters/ Killers etc will do that, plenty clearly won't. Taylor might and she did last time. Clearly her pulling power has risen & she is the biggest act on the planet currently but stranger things have happened.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They famously brought their own to Download, didn't they? Cannot see any logistical workaround, unless their current production is considerably slimmed. Yeah last night it wasn't a particularly over the top stage, I don't see why it couldn't be slimmed down a little more to make it work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbailey80 Posted Thursday at 03:35 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:35 PM Fred again. Jesus that’s rather depressing. I must be getting old. But really? Christ. meanwhile annoyed I missed the 16/1 Sam fender odds. Would have bet big on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think massive paycut is a bit diff now than in 2020. Think you are not considering something - what were the terms of the contract that were signed? If she is still under contract as such, then likely to be Headlining at some point in the future (Contract would have some clauses in it protecting both parties if things went sideways - like COVID). It may give her flexibility on when she does it, but I think that would be a likely scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted Thursday at 03:55 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 03:55 PM Swift won't be under any sort of contract to headline the G at a future date. She's way more likely just to stick to it out of goodwill. Either way, there's no way she's still on the road next summer so anyone who thinks she's got a chance of appearing is kidding themselves. Even AC/DC are more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I I mean Kings of Leon made multiple references to it like they were trying to hype up a secret set only to be hyping up their Hyde Park show instead. Which, given they've played Hyde Park a few times, you think they'd have had footage of that to play with instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Rodrigo has sung Good 4 U with Hayley from Paramore at a festival before (I want to say Coachella?). The Rodrigo v Carpenter thing, I was less aware of.

In the last few days, there's been rumours of a tour in 2026, which works so well for a certain festival that just announced it'll be taking 2026 off.

If it was an exclusively Oasis setlist (and reunion still never ever in the pipeline!) then he could easily headline. ...also seeing hardly any mention of Pulp... still reckon they could headline the Sunday... am I mad?!

Technically she could do a further leg next year under a new name / concept - but chances are vanishingly unlikely. More likely it's 3 or 4 years before she does anything serious road-wise.

Long Season Posted Thursday at 05:09 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 05:09 PM Would Tame Impala be an idea that could be entertained? You could say their/his popularity is huge, and on a worldwide scale. I'd say after another album with the same level of success and recognisable hits as the previous three, they would be a perfect fit for a band to step up to headline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think massive paycut is a bit diff now than in 2020. That’s just grandstanding though, as she’s mid-Eras. She’ll do a festival run at some point like planned in 2020 as one of the remaining boxes she has yet to tick and I’ll be amazed if Glastonbury isn’t in that.

MEGATRONICMEATWAGON Posted Thursday at 06:53 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 06:53 PM I've been surfing around but can't find anything apart from a lot of clickbait, but has EE come out and said anything concrete about headliners in 2025? All I can find is that "it's exciting to plan a festival before a fallow year because it's almost like you have to fit in two years' worth of bands".
