Suede would be ace! Third down Other seems right for them.

Only six years behind Kylie. Give him a couple of years and he'll be ripe for the legend slot.

Power play by the Monkeys there.

Nah this just isn't happening. They're just too much of a novelty act to be a headliner, and the festival would receive a hilarious amount of backlash, especially following the Stormzy announcement. Urgh I had a bad feeling it was them. That would be incredibly underwhelming.

I've no doubt that the booking of Stormzy is a pretty bold one and hopefully one that pays off, but I doubt people are gonna look back in ten years time and think 'Wow I wish I was there in 2019 to see Stormzy'.

Christ Stormzy, whoever they can reel in to replace McCartney, The Cure Not one for the history books ey?

Friday night please! On either of the other two nights would be a disaster for me.

Also, although I very much hope this isn't true, I'm glad we've got a bit of headliner drama going on 😄 it was far too early for this thread to be all done and dusted.

No Macca would be a real shame but as somebody who wasn't there in 2009 and so has no negative thoughts about his performance I'd take Bruce as a replacement in a heartbeat. IF this does prove to be true, are there many other realistic contenders?

I doubt Orbital are a big enough draw to headline the Other these days and would probably headline WH if they’re there next year.

Are people expecting Pumpkins to turn up because they're subbing Tool at that other festival or is there more to it than that? Not sure if I see it myself but it'd be a great booking.

Double album from Foals is interesting news, although considering they've struggled to put together a really great single album the last few times and with a lot of it all sounding the same I hope they've got good reason for it being a double album rather than just them writing a bunch more songs. Won't be at R/L anyway, although I'm struggling to think where they will end up. APE maybe?

I probably want NIN to play Glastonbury more than any other act, but I think the chances are pretty slim really. If they were touring Europe/the UK I reckon they'd end up doing their own shows, or even headlining a smaller fest like APE instead.

Eh. Gave Oxnard a couple of listens this morning and my initial impression is that it's good, not great, which is disappointing considering I (and a lot of others I think) were expecting AOTY level stuff here. Will persist but I don't see it bothering many end of year lists.

Posted elsewhere but thought it might get a bit more notice here - Stormzy is headlining Glastonbury 2019 x
