I'd be shocked if Arctic Monkeys aren't headlining, especially over The 1975. No apparent festivals this year for them... Friday - Elton, Sat - AM, Sun - Madonna? Only over a year of speculation to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dentalplan Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 The R+L lineup has flustered my predictions for this. I was thinking R+L would probably get The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys next year, but they seem to lack the competence to book a sure-thing new British headliner and similarly nuked their whole lineup in pursuit of Arctic Monkeys this year. I'm gonna read into Michael's quote on the headliners being "two or three that have never played" (and believe he means played as headliners) and continue thinking Arctic Monkeys won't be at Glasto next year. Reckon Foals or 1975, then Kendrick and the Mac. 2020 predictions can naff off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Still hoping QOTSA will headline next year but not really expecting it. Will go for The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Madonna for 2019 and U2, Coldplay, Elton John for 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt42 Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 Florence and The Machine, Justin Timberlake, Arctic Monkeys is my bet Florence supposedly having an album this year and not doing any UK festivals (when she's playing european ones) is quite weird. Almost as if she's holding off for a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted February 15, 2018 Report Share Posted February 15, 2018 (edited) Foals, Sam Smith and The Mac next year for me I'm pretty hot on the idea of FloMo getting her official shot at it, but next year maybe feels too soon (maybe that's because we haven't even had summer 2018 year idk) Edited February 15, 2018 by the wonderwhy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost as if she's holding off for a year I don’t think it’ll be out before summer. She’d be doing more than three or four shows this summer if there was an album to promote. She’s bringing a book out this summer or something anyway. 54 minutes ago, SomeoneListeningIn said: Yeah he's done a bit of an Emeli Sandé rather than an Adele. Wouldn’t go that far as he was still one of the year’s biggest sellers but I’ve gone cold on him headlining too. Seems kinda pointless nearly two years after the album.

ghostdancer1 Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Arctic Monkeys not being at R&L, and Florence not doing any UK festivals (as mentioned above), must surely be front-runners now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it actually makes them less likely for Glasto next year. If (say) R/L had those acts this year then they wouldn't want them next year, making them more likely for Glasto. But because R/L hasn't had them this year, it'll definitely be trying for them next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyT Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 Just had a thought: Wonder if there will be a really large increase in the amount of people going for tickets in October following the R+L lineup announcement. Disenchanted R+L diehards looking elsewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disenchanted R+L diehards looking elsewhere? I'm not sure that will have to much of an effect, Reading and Leeds goers purchase tickets once the lineup is announced right? Surely they'll wait for the 2019 lineup and hence be too late for Glastonbury. Also with the Glastonbury fallow year there’s no massive advertisement for the festival plastered all over BBC at the start of the summer inspiring Bucket List attendees to take the plunge for 2019 so perhaps demand might be slightly lower … wishful thinking I know.

I think they've been on sale for a while. Seems most people think they'll struggle to sell out but this might be the case most years? I'm in such a Glastonbury cocoon I rarely take notice of the other festivals. Are there any other festivals which sell out in double quick time these days or has that long gone?

I think there's been a few festivals that may have experienced some sale bumps pre-announcements this year due to Arctic Monkeys speculation and rumors of which festival will land the best line up.

I remember the days Leeds used to sell out in advance circa 2003 - 2006. Boomtown apparently sells out a few months prior but nothing in comparison to Glastonbury. Re: the demand for tickets. It's always to be massive for Glastonbury. I imagine 2020 is going to be even more in demand with it being the anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
