That's pretty impressive seeing as Avril was on the Sunday and Michael was on the Saturday 

My mistake - Janelle Monae, not sure it makes any difference tho!

Duran Duran being talked about as a serious headliner ffs.

 

This is glastonbury not Isle of Wight ffs

True. How we long for the credible Glasto worthy headliner days of exclusive acts such as Mumford and Sons, Muse, Kasabian, Ed Sheeran, Arctic Monkeys and Florence and the Machine.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Right on! This year IOW has Keane, the Prodigy, the Streets, Crowded House, Pet Shop Boys, Blossoms, the Bootleg Beatles, Greenday, Beverley Knight, the Pretenders...

 

God, I'd hate it if any of those played Glastonbury in the future and if they have already, then what the actual f**k.

better image. In Germany Glasto weekend and likely adds a date the day before, as announcing a Sunday first is sort of odd but not unheard of.

Yeah I would imagine it's Friday or nothing and that's not happening.

[kalifire]

We can all breathe a sigh of relief at Ed's dates, I reckon. Makes him unlikely.

 

I think we must assume that the festival will be going after at least one huge name, probably on the Sunday, to make a mark before the fallow lead (and a similarly big one for 2027, my guess Taylor).

 

Who knows how they left things with Madge. Presumably she asked for more money than they were prepared to pay, but there's probably an offering there for her if she decides to stop being so greedy.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Madge's Celebration Tour is now officially over.  If they couldn't work something our when she was on the road then they won't be able to get her to conjure up a special one off show.

For.....

 

No Doubt is most likely touring Tragic Kingdom for its 30th so theyll be around next year. I would think they either want Other headline or Pyramid sub just to get enough time for a set.

Brazil gave her $10 million and she got to pull off the full show so I dont see how Madonna just pops up for the one date and does something different for shits and giggles.

 

 Taylor would be the same situation. Tour is done by the end of the year and if she decided to do Eras at a festival then Glasto will have a headliner start at 8pm just so it finishes by 11:45. Considering the audience is not gonna be full of crazy Swifties I dont know how you expect everyone to stand around the whole time. cause theyre gonna get bored and it would be a rare instance that you could watch half a pyramid headliner and go see another stage headliner without any time crunch.   ( unless I misread d you think the falllow comeback is Taylor for 2027 )

Sublime are massive over here in SoCal but barely scratch the surface in GB I think... mid Other Stage maybe?

 

Personally think Alanis for 30 years of Jagged would be a big winner however

Of course Taylor wouldn’t do her three-hour Eras set at the farm. It’d be a stripped down greatest hits, I assume.

I'm surprised that Sheeran did not announce a UK date as part of this announcement, which indicates something might be being held back.

 

Saying that his tour this year also had no UK shows so must be planning something. Knebworth hasn't held anything in a while, right?

Willing to predict none of these will headline next year.

BST maybe?

He's done Wembley, right? So one of those two would be a likely option.

 

Admittedly London has a good 5/6 stadiums that are all trying to host gigs too so could be anywhere. But clearly they're doing some form of special announcement for what he's doing here.

[MEGATRONICMEATWAGON]

Billie Eilish has a big old break in the middle of her tour next year from 15th June when she finishes in Spain until 7th July, when she picks it up again in Glasgow.

 

Too soon?

It wouldve been a full Era's setlist if she had done it this year instead of  playing in Ireland. If Springsteen comes back will anyone bat an eye if he gets 3 hours? Doubt it. Same for Macca, he went over and the fest didnt care. Itll be interesting to see if Taylor backed herself into a corner and has to do 3 hour sets from here on out no matter what though.

he is only performing on weekends and those weekends of Bst are taken. He def would want to keep the same format and do 2 gigs on top of that cause the demand would be there. So its prob not that.

More than enough of those old duffers.

 

If they can have three hours of sending folks to sleep, then why not Taylor?

Of course, that's a secondary pick from the DM, which pretty much calls it bogus off the bat.

 

But hey, we're here to speculate.

How much did he get for Reading/Leeds? Would it be enough to count him out of the running?
