Any mention of other acts playing?

I haven’t seen them but want to, everyone says they’re poor live, were they not?

Day 24 should be “Foals vs The 1975”

Yea I feel given the gigs they’ve been taking more recently (APE) they may settle for Other headliner, which I think they’d suit pretty well! Would love to see it!

The Strokes have been mentioned as a possibility for Mad Cool 2020, suggesting they may be around next year. How likely is it that they’ll be at Glasto next year? Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift and Kendrick Lamar don’t really excite me massively (although I’m not denying each of them are easily big enough to headline, and it would be a fantastic set of headliners - just doesn’t personally do it for me) so I’m desperately looking for other satisfying rumours!

Jamie from The 1975

Had a look at the 2019 headliners thread to see what was being discussed August 2018 and found the odds bookmakers were giving at around this time last year: Kendrick 6/4 Elton 9/4 Kylie 5/2 Stormzy 7/2 Arctics 9/2 Fleetwood 9/2 ABBA 5/1 Calvin 8/1 Swedish House Mafia 8/1 Jay Z, Stone Roses, Led Zeppelin, Taylor Swift and Beach Boys 10/1 Eminem, Strokes 14/1 Kate Bush 16/1 Foo Fighters, Madness, Oasis, Stones, Spice Girls 20/1 Given that only one of the three headliners were listed this time last year, and only at 7/2, how likely are we to be close with headliners being discussed this early? I'm all for generating excitement and love the discussion of it all but I just don't want anyone (me included) to get unrealistically excited!

Where would they play? There’s no slot on the radio 1 stage any day?

Trying to maximise your possibility of getting tickets? Good try I’m sure one more person trying won’t hurt

Does anyone know when ticket registration has closed in previous years? I have a few friends who still need to register for this years festival (I know, they should register asap) but the date registration has closed in the past would be useful! thanks

It’s usually a band not currently touring who are set to bring out a new album and tour after the festival, so Kasabian are a good shout. Catfish have already brought their album out and toured so possibly not (although I know a lot of people on this forum think it might be them) Think Liam is ok arrogant to not have his name on a lineup up poster if he were to be playing at all. I think Biffy have got a new album coming out so possibly? Not sure about IDLES (but would love them) or Kaiser Chiefs (no thank you) but Gerry has got a new album coming out and that’d be a popular choice with the standard Reading crowd surely? (Me included) I reckon it’ll be Kasabian, they’d go off in that Radio 1 tent.

I get that, it’s just the fact some fans hold him to a god-like status and refuse to criticise his vocals, I know you get blindly devoted fans for every act but they seem to be more prevalent for LG. Can’t deny I wouldn’t swoon over an Oasis reunion though.
