Might not mean anything but noticed someone commented on the new Tik Tok saying they’d heard it was only 4 headliners this year & travis Scott has been brought in as Eminem’s replacement…comment has since disappeared👀

I know he’s not the best live but I’d be gutted if we lost Eminem for Travis Scott.

[Andre91]

Would rather Travis Scott than Eminem. It’s a brand new headliner. 

[tomarchbold]

why is their rumblings eminem has pulled out? any actual reliable sources for this/reasons for him pulling out

Both are surely ticket-shifters for the leavers demographic, no?

honestly travis more so i think

[NorthernSoul52]

Yeah, I think I'd concur there. Eminem very much got the cross-generational hook, and something of a live rarity.

[anna17]

Haven’t seen anything solid on if/why Eminem has dropped out (if he was even in at all) so could all just be waffle , but definitely can’t see them having both

 

If it’s one or the other personally hoping for Eminem 🙏

[NorthernSoul52]

Waffle is all we have sometimes, and my god, don't we love it.

I'd replace Fender with BMTH, put Little Simz probably on main but she's bigger than any sub of this year so would have to be a co-headliners second down. Put Nova Twins above Soft Play and then rip it all out, start again as that's how bad it is haha.

 

You were the one that started the BMTH discussion.

 

This post was the first mention of BMTH, I've gone through the following 20+ pages and there is no info that BMTH are headlining other than people would rather them be in there.

He wasn't even in at all, I was the first one to mention his name!

 

It's almost like manifesting something into existence here sometimes. We forget that names are mentioned as "what about this..." and after 5 pages we've talked ourselves into they are a definite headliner and they've dropped out.

That's the joy and pain of eFestivals.

 

Think I accidentally started the rumour that Roxy Music were playing the Legends Slot at Glastonbury a few years ago, and the NME ran with it.

Wafflers to the left of me, wafflers to the right, here I am, stuck in the waffle with you.

[OddRon]

Only names that weren’t just being echo chamber’d around the thread were Foo fighters (but now potentially not), Travis Scott, Central Cee, Chappell Roan and Hozier.

 

Everything else has essentially been “we expect this act to play for one of the following reasons:

- they’re in Europe in August (Post Malone)

- they have a new album out and we like them (Bmth)”

 

Any concrete rumours that I’ve missed there?

Central Cee. What is it? What's the hype? Why does he have such appreciation from the younger masses?

 

Plenty of acts go over my head, but I can understand why for many. Here, I feel I'm just drawing empty straws.

Where are you getting the idea you are the first person to mention anyone. BMTH came into equation ages ago now by a more reliable option thagtI was the first to mention their name. 

 

I mentioned BMTH because it's been mentioned before. Eminem got mentioned ages ago too and certain ITK people think he's at Reading.

 

To make it clear, I'd not rather BMTH be anywhere lol.

[Andre91]

How are people discussing Eminem dropping out when nobody knows if he’s even been booked in the first place 😂

[nathanh]

Oh its starting to feel more and more like announcement time on here everyday. Every year we convince ourselves of people and then make up reasons as to why/ why not but i love it

He’s shite. I’ve liked (and still do like) plenty of uk hip hop over the years and he’s got no character, nothing that makes him stand out, no distinctive flow. Completely generic and unremarkable.
